Diligent Mary,為誰辛苦為誰忙?

字號:

Sarah: How are you doing, Mary? Why do you look so stressed out?
     Mary: I‘m going crazy studying for the TOEFL exam, my American culture test, and my English literature class.
     Sarah: What is that all for?
     Mary: I plan to go to the US to further my education next year. So I have to pass all these exams in order to be accepted by good universities.
     Sarah: You are such a diligent student. But hey, health is better than wealth, OK?
     Mary: What do you mean?
     Sarah: Come on. You look so exhausted. You need some more sleep and definitely more nutritious food.
     Mary: That is true. I only sleep about 4 hours a day and I don‘t remember last time I ate.
     Sarah: And Mary, I‘m afraid that I have to tell you: You are breaking out.
     Mary: What? … Oh no! All these new pimples!
     Sarah: It‘s all because of stress. Maybe you need set aside some time to relax happening for yourself.
     Mary: Yeah, I guess I should lie down on the bed and get some rest.
     Sarah: That‘s a good idea! And go back to studying after you get some sleep…。 Mary?
     Mary: Zzzzzzzz …。
