同学们，你们都有自己的好朋友吧？Mike也是，他有两个好朋友，分别是John 和Tom。John的性格有点急，而 Tom 恰恰相反，动作不慌不忙，做事不急。先看看下面的故事吧。
(One day， Mike， Tom and John are going to see the film “Harry Potter”. They plan（计划） to meet at Nanjing Road. Mike gets there first and he sees John coming.)
John: Hi, Mike. When does the film begin?
Mike: Two thirty. It’s one o’clock now.
John: Where are the tickets? Oh! I can’t find them.
Mike: Take your time. It’s still（仍然） early. Are they in your pocket?
John: No, they aren’t.
Mike: Maybe they are in your wallet.
John: Thank goodness! Here they are. Is Tom here?
Mike: He will not come until(直到) two fifteen, I think. He is always taking his time.
(One hour later, Tom gets there and they three go to the cinema together.)
同学们，看懂了上面的对话了吗？Mike 对话中两次提到 take one’s time.前面他用这个词去安慰着急的John，这时翻译成“别着急，慢慢来”。而后面用这个词去描述Tom， 因为他做事不利索，有点拖拉。你们明白了这个词组的意思了吗？今后学习用这个词组吧！
