W: Hi Jeremy, I hear a piano concerto (协奏曲)concert will be held in our school campus soon.

M: A piano concerto concert? Are you kidding? I have been expecting it for quite a long time.

W: Isn’t that wonderful? I last heard it in the town Music Hall three years ago.

M: Me, too. When will it be on? Do you know?

W: Not really. It’s said to be on next Friday evening. Shall we go together?

M: Sure. Do you know who is the pianist and the conductor?

W: The pianist will be Fu Cong and the conductor Zheng Xiaoying.

M: They are the best in China, aren’t they?

W: Yes, they are. And this is their second stop around the country.

M: Could you please get a ticket for me?

W: I certainly will.

M: Many thanks.

W: My pleasure.

M: That’s wonderful. You must be excited.
