Kevin:Dad, can you help me with my school project?
Dad:Sure, Kevin. What is your assignment?
Kevin:We have to construct a building using any materials around the house.
Dad:What were you thinking about building?
Kevin:I want to build a skyscraper.
Dad:That should be fun. Any ideas about the materials?
Kevin:I’m not sure. I was thinking about using cardboard boxes.
Dad:That’s a great idea. We have a lot of old boxes. I saved them after we moved here.
Kevin:Where are they?
Dad:They’re in the garage. Help me bring them into the house.
Kevin:OK. Where should we put them?
Dad:Let’s put them in the living room. It’s the biggest room in the house. There’s plenty of space to make a mess.
Kevin:Mom isn’t going to be happy with all the mess.
Dad:That’s OK. She can help us too.
Kevin:OK. What should I do first?
Dad:Why don’t you design the building and then we can create it?
Kevin:That’s a good plan. Thanks for your help, Dad.
Dad:It’s my pleasure. I’m an architect. Building is my specialty.
Kevin:爸爸,你能帮我一起完成我的学校项目吗?
Dad:当然可以,凯文。你的任务是什么?
Kevin:我们需要用家里的任意材料修建一座建筑。
Dad:你想要建造什么?
Kevin:我想要建造一座摩天大楼。
Dad:那应该很有趣。材料方面有什么想法吗?
Kevin:我不确定。我想过用硬纸板盒。
Dad:这是一个很棒的主意。我们有许多旧的硬纸板盒。我们搬来这之后,我把它们保存了起来。
Kevin:它们在哪里?
Dad:在车库里。你帮我一起把它们搬到房子里来吧。
Kevin:好的。我们要把它们放在哪儿呢?
Dad:放在客厅吧。客厅是房子里最大的房间了。有足够空间可以弄得乱七八糟。
Kevin:妈妈会不高兴弄得乱七八糟的。
Dad:没关系的。她也会帮助我们。
Kevin:好的。首先我应该做什么?
Dad:你为何不先设计一下建筑,然后我们就能够建造它了?
Kevin:好计划。谢谢你的帮助,爸爸。
Dad:不用客气。我是一名建筑师。建造是我的专长。
