Mom: Hawaii? Are you out of your mind?

May: After reconsideration, we want to stick to our plan.

妈妈：快说吧，你们的建议是什么呢？

阿美：经过我们的深思熟虑，我们决定坚持我们的计划。

妈妈：能告诉我原因吗？

阿美：因为我们班的好多同学都已经去过夏威夷好几次了。

妈妈：这就是所有的原因吗？

阿美：当然不是。

妈妈：还有什么呢？

阿美：我们还可以领略异国的风景。

丹尼尔：那对我们的学习也有好处。

阿美：我们能提高我们的英语。

妈妈：好吧，妈妈和爸爸会考虑你们的意见。现在你们该区睡觉了。
