Woman:Richard, are you familiar with the story of Robinson Crusoe?
Man:Of course, it's a very famous story of survival.
Woman:So do you think helps Crusoe get through a hard life on a small island for 28years?
Man:Well, the way I see it, one important thing for his survival is his (calm) in the face of the difficult situation. (have) himself alone on an island, he doesn't lose his head, but gets his necessary things ,such as guns, tools and food from the ship, before it (destroy) by a storm.
Woman:I can't agree more. And (person), I think he is also very wise. Just as you mentioned, with his gun and the rice, he can hunt and grow his own food.
Man:Yes. I am also amazed by how knowledgeable he is. He can make fire by rubbing pieces of wood together. What's your take on this?
Woman:I think so, too. And what about when he makes tools, such as spades out of wood and cups out of clay? Without those things, he would have had a much (hard) time there!
Man:That's true. I'm quite impressed when he takes 18 whole days to widen and (deep) his cave with simple tools made of wood. And what surprises me more is when the cave is ruined by a sudden fall of earth, he doesn't feel depressed, but quickly redoes the work.
Woman:Yes, I see what you're getting at. And I believe that also reveals his positive attitude. That's quite inspiring.
