Well, I'm thinking of going to see the ballet Swan Lake by the famous Russian National Ballet Troupe this evening at Beijing Grand Theater. Why don't you join me?
I'd like to, but I've got to write a term paper. It will be due by this Thursday.
You always work too hard, Jim. As the saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. You should spare some time for a rest.
I know it is no good for my health if I am staying in the classroom all day. But how about my paper?
Just take it easy. Come on with me.
I'm terribly sorry I can't go with you. Shall we find some other time?
