It's Saturday evening. Li Ming is talking to Jenny and Danny online.
Li Ming: Guess what? I saw a big poster for the new Kung Fu Dinosaur movie on my way home. Kung Fu Dinosaur really looks like Danny.
Jenny: Did you know that Danny is a good actor, Li Ming?We performed a play in class. It was so much fun!
Li Ming: Really? What play did you perform?
Danny: The Fisherman and the Goldfish. I played the poor but handsome fisherman, and Jenny was the fisherman's wife. I will send you the photos we took in class later.
Li Ming: Please do! I can't wait to see them.
Jenny: Everyone in our group did a good job. Some research was done in order to make the play. We learned about some good plays and famous playwrights!
Li Ming: I know William Shakespeare is a great playwright. I watched his Hamlet last year.
Jenny: Yes, many famous works in English were written by him.
Li Ming: Are his works all tragedies? I prefer comedies.
Jenny: Actually, his early plays were mainly comedies and historical pieces. But most of his famous works are tragedies. They are well known around the world.
Li Ming: We have some excellent playwrights and famous plays in China. Cao Yu's Thunderstorm and Lao She's  Teahouse have been on stage for many years—and still are today.
Danny: Interesting! I would love to go to the teahouse one day.
Jenny: I guess Teahouse is a play, not a place.
Li Ming: You are right, Jenny. But we do have a Lao She Teahouse in Beijing. People can have tea and watch plays or operas there.
Jenny: What a wonderful theatre! People can enjoy tea and plays at the same time.
Danny: Great! I hope to go to the Teahouse and watch Teahouse.
