　　About the Date

 

　　Paul：I need to go to the bank。

　　Jenny：But they’re all closed today。

　　Paul：Closed? Are you kidding? What is it, some kind of holiday today?

　　Jenny：Have you already forgotten? What’s the date today?

　　Paul：It’s... Oh, it’s the first of April. April Fool’s Day!

　　Jenny：You forgot all about it, didn’t you?

　　Paul：Sort of, but it has reminded me of at least one thing I need to remember。

　　Jenny：What’s that?

　　Paul：Tomorrow is my wife’s birthday。

　　Jenny：Better not forget that, she’ll kill you if you don’t get her something. It’s pretty strange that your wife’s birthday changes every year. Why is that?

　　Paul：My wife is a Chinese. She celebrates her birthday according to the lunar calendar。

　　Jenny：Ah, I got it。

　　Paul：It’s quite exotic for me to celebrate a birthday according to the lunar calendar. It’s so different than our culture. I guess that makes life interesting to have different cultures come together and coexist。
