Daniel:Mom, hurry up or there will be no seats available for us.

Shirley:Don't worry, there will be a lot. There will be enough seats for another ten Daniels.

Daniel:I'll take the one beside the driver. There will be a good view there. Wow, how comfortable the seats are. Your company is so great.

Shirley:Daniel, you can't sit there. Because that one is for the coach. OK, let's sit over here.

(The coach gets on the bus.)

Coach:Is everybody board here? OK, please listen to me. First, all of us must follow the rules. There will be a lot of activities for us, so please never and ever leave the group.

(Daniel turns to his Mom.)

Daniel:Mom, the coach is so strict, I'm afraid I'll never have the fun I want.

Shirley:Honey, you're wrong. If everybody has the same idea as you, a team will not be called a team.

Daniel:Maybe, but anyway, we'll have a lot of fun. Right?

Shirley:Not really, honey. This journey is not all for fun. The most important thing is that we should learn much from it for self-improvement.?

Daniel:What's all that about?

Shirley:It's about for enhancing the degree of belief, taking responsibility and things like that.

Daniel:Oh, I see, that is also to say “teaching goes together with pleasure”.

(One hour later they arrive at their destination.)

Coach:Now, everybody attention please. The first activity we'll do is to make chocolate by yourself.

Daniel:How great! I always eat chocolate but I never know how to make it.

Shirley:And you'll have a taste of the chocolate made by yourself.

Daniel:Yeah, I can design varied tastes of chocolate and also I can put any picture I like on the chocolates.

丹尼爾:媽媽?zhuān)禳c(diǎn),否則我們就沒(méi)有座位了。

雪莉:別著急,會(huì)有很多的。再來(lái)十個(gè)丹尼爾都會(huì)沒(méi)有問(wèn)題。

丹尼爾:我做司機(jī)旁邊這個(gè)位置。這里視野會(huì)不錯(cuò)。哇,這個(gè)位置好舒服。媽媽的公司真好。

雪莉:丹尼爾,你不能坐那。因?yàn)槟鞘墙o教練的。我們坐這吧。

(教練上車(chē)了。)

教練:大家都上車(chē)了嗎?好的,請(qǐng)聽(tīng)我說(shuō)。首先,大家都應(yīng)該遵守紀(jì)律。我們會(huì)有很多活動(dòng)。所以請(qǐng)大家決不要離開(kāi)隊(duì)伍。

(丹尼爾跟媽媽說(shuō)話。)

丹尼爾:媽媽?zhuān)叹毢脟?yán)厲呀,我想恐怕我不會(huì)玩得盡興的。

雪莉:孩子,你錯(cuò)了。如果每一個(gè)人像你一樣想,團(tuán)隊(duì)就不叫團(tuán)隊(duì)了。

丹尼爾:可能吧,但是無(wú)論如何,我們會(huì)玩得很高興,對(duì)不對(duì)?

雪莉:也不盡是。這次旅游并不純粹為了玩,更重要的是為了學(xué)東西提高自己。

丹尼爾:是關(guān)于什么的呀?

雪莉:是關(guān)于提高信任度,責(zé)任感等類(lèi)似的事情。

丹尼爾:哦,我知道了。也就是說(shuō)“寓教于樂(lè)”。

(一個(gè)小時(shí)后,他們到達(dá)了目的地。)

教練:現(xiàn)在,每個(gè)人注意了。我們要做的第一個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)自己親手制作巧克力。

丹尼爾:好棒,我經(jīng)常吃巧克力,但是我從來(lái)不知道怎么做。

雪莉:你將嘗到自己親手做的巧克力。

丹尼爾:好的,我能設(shè)計(jì)各種口味的巧克力,還可以放上我喜歡的各種圖案。
