K: Kevin E: Emily
Kevin has to babysit this weekend. He asks his friend Emily for advice.
K: My uncle’s kids are coming to my house this weekend, and I’ll have to look after them all day on Saturday.
E: Oh, babysitting can be fun! How many of them are there?
K: There’re four of them, and they are full of energy. I’m not sure how I should handle them all.
E: Just play games to keep them occupied.
K: Like video games?
E: No. Do something that gets them running around in the yard, like tag or hide-and-seek.
凯文这个周末必须当临时保母。他向他的朋友艾蜜莉寻求建议。
凯 文： 我叔叔的孩子这个周末要来我家，我周六得照顾他们一整天。
艾蜜莉： 哦，当临时保母很有趣的！总共有多少人？
凯 文： 他们有四个人，而且他们精力充沛。我不确定该如何应付他们。
艾蜜莉： 只要玩游戏让他们有事可做就行了。
凯 文： 像是电动吗？
艾蜜莉： 不是。做一些可以让他们在院子里跑来跑去的事，像是鬼抓人或捉迷藏。
