Reading
Read the conversation and answer the questions.

On Monday night.
2d
Role-play the conversation.
Jeff: Hey , Nick , can you come to my house on Saturday ?
My cousin Sam from Xi'an is going to be there.
Nick: Oh, Sam! I remember we went bike riding together
last fall where he visited you.
Jeff: Yes, that's right .
Nick: I'd love to come, but I'm afraid I can't. I have an
exam on Monday so I must prepare for it .
Jeff: That's really too bad ! Oh , but sam isn't leaving
until next Wednesday . Can you hang out with us on
Monday night ?
Nick: Sure ! Catch you on Monday !
Language points
1. Sam isn’t leaving until next Wednesday.
在英语中，not … until …是一个常见句型，表示“直到……才……”。在口语中，还可使用till代替until，构成not … until…结构。
e.g. Don’t leave today’s work till tomorrow.
不要把今天的事留到明天去做。
I didn’t go to bed last night until past
midnight. 昨晚我过了午夜12点才睡。
2. Catch you on Monday!
礼拜一见！
这是英语中道别的又一种说法，相当于See you on Monday! 类似的说法还有：Catch / See you later! (回头见！)
Homework
