Part 1. Read the conversation and answer the questions.
2b
While-reading(careful reading)
1. Did Peter’s grandparents visit his new home before? Why do you think so?
No, they didn't. Because Peter said “I can’t wait to show them our new house!”, which implies that his grandparents haven't seen the new house before.
2. What does “grandma clean” mean?
It means extremely clean. It implies a very high-standard of cleanliness, as grandma would expect or do.
3. Why does Helen want to go to the flower shop?
Because she wants to buy some flowers. She plans to put some flowers by the window, and grandma loves flowers.

What do you usually do for your grandparents?
Show care
Help with daily things
Spend enjoyable time together
Why do we spend time and effort (精力) preparing for our grandparents’ visit? What does it mean to our family?
Preparing for our grandparents’ visit is not just about cleaning rooms. It’s a way to show our love, respect, and gratitude for them. Every small action is filled with our care. In our daily life, we should always cherish the time with our family members, show our love in words and actions, and make our family full of warmth and happiness.
