S1: OK. Let’s first think about how Sandy got there. should she go on the train or the school bus?

S2: Well, we should first decide why she went to the museum.

S1: That’s right. Was it because she liked the show in the museum?

S2: Or perhaps she went because of a class project? You know we always do class project.

S1:That’s a good idea. So she went to the museum to do a class project about…

S2: About art and history?S1: That’s not a bad idea, a project about art and

history.

S2: Now we can decide how she got to the museum.S1:If she went because of a class project, she and her

classmates probably would go by school bus.S2: Why?S1: Because a school bus can take about fifty people.

When we go on an outing, two teachers always go with us. Remember?

S2: That’s true. So, they will all went by school bus.S1: Yes, so now we know how and why she went to the

museum, and who she was with. But what did she do before she got here?

S2: Perhaps, they were walking from the school bus, and Sandy and her partner Li Feifei were so busy looking around that they got lost. Then they started to run to try and find their classmates. Luckily, they could still see them and caught up with them at last.

S1: Yes, that would explain why she was so tired.S2: Well, it seems that we have answered all of the que
