〖A favor for the landlady〗
<听写方式: 填空, 一空一词, 不用带数字序号>
Lo and Kevin were asked by their landlady to help tidy up the apartment building courtyard.
A: You know, we have been working too hard recently. Besides redoing the apartment and getting moved in, now we have to help our landlady clean up the yard?
B: At least she is giving us a discount on this month's rent. She's too old to do this kind of work. Come on, Lo, where's your sense of ____1____?
A: Alright. So, there's a lot of ____2____ lying around in the bushes. Let's get that all put into the garbage ____3____. Don't forget to wear work ____4____——that stuff is dirty!
B: There are a lot of dead leaves lying around as well. Can you hand me the ____5____? I'll use it to ____6____ the leaves into a big pile and then we can throw them away as well.
A: Actually, it might be a better idea if we ____7____ them. It's more environmentally friendly!
B: How would we do that?
A: Just put some in a pile with some newspaper, some soil, and we can throw in some more biodegradable things like rotten fruits and vegetables. In a few months and after some turns it will turn into great soil our landlady can use around the yard.
B: I guess that sounds better than just throwing them away. Let's do it!
A: I'm going to work on clipping all of the dead ____8____ off of the trees and bushes. We can compost those clippings as well.
B: I'm going to go find a ____9____. Some of the trash is ____10____ under some dirt——I think it's been sitting here a while. I'll be back!
