Dad: Haven't we been these places already?

May: Yeah. I don't agree with them, but I don't have a better choice.

Dad: What about the Olympic park?

May: Right, ah. It is so close to our home. How come we've never thought of that?

Dad: The Olympic Park has a small forest. It is fit for picnic.

May: Very well, Go ahead.

阿美：太好了，就去那里了。

May: On weekends our families usually drive out for fun. That's really something great to do. But the problem is it's usually hard for us to find a place we all feel like going to. So before making the final decision we always have a “fight”. The good thing is that we kids always win.
