听力原文： OK! When we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some well-known short story writers. I remember that many of you said you liked the American writer Earnest Hemingway, right？ I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story "A day's wait", because as I said, we're going to study it together in today's lesson. Now since you're supposed to have read this story, let's have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place？ Second, what does the boy read for in the story and what kind of person does he show himself to be？ Third, what kind of person is the boy's father？ Four, what is the writer's main purpose of writing the story？ I'd like you to work in groups of four or five and present your answers in ten minutes. Is everything clear？
What did the speaker ask the students to do the week before？

A. Write a short story.
B. Prepare for the lesson.
C. Learn more about the writer.
D. Help their mother.
