　　【迷你小對話】

　　A: I can’t believe what Steven did! He came to my dinner party wearing jeans, and started some conversations that were quite uncultured.

　　B: I know his comments were out of line, but give him a chance He just moved here from countryside. I’m sure he is just a diamond in the rough. When he gets used to being with us, he’ll become more polished.
