Lesson42 Not very musical 并非很懂音樂 As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest.

Frank is now the head of a very large business pany, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day.
