乐乐：大卫，小雨，结婚一周年快乐！David, Xiaoyu, happy first wedding anniversary!

王老师：一周年了！时间过得真快。去年的今天，你们结婚了。One year already! Time flies. A year ago today, you got married.

小黄：我十八岁！I'm eighteen!

安娜：一周年快乐！我带了一个大蛋糕……不过在公交车上，吃了一点儿。Happy anniversary! I brought a big cake... though I ate a bit of it on the bus.

大卫：包子看着蛋糕，口水都流下来了。Baozi's staring at the cake and drooling.

马克：在我们国家，结婚一周年要送纸。所以，这是我写的五十页，等于一周一页！In my country, you give paper for a first wedding anniversary. So here are fifty pages I wrote. That's one a week!

王老师：今天，每个人都说一说：明年你的理想是什么？Today, everyone has to say: what's your dream for next year?

乐乐：我的理想是当班长！去年包子赢了我，气死我了！明年我一定要实现！My dream is to be class monitor! Baozi beat me last year, and it drove me mad! Next year I'm going to make it happen!
