　　Mrs.Rich ： What a beautiful garden.

　　Mrs.Newman： I personally don't think it's a good idea to keep a child， no matter what age， indoors all day long. Letting the children get close to nature is the best way to take care of them and satisfy their curiosity.

　　Mr. Rich ： I agree with that， but safty is important as well.

　　Mrs.Newman： That you don't have to worry about. Besides the teachers， we have two assistants in each class to keep an eye on the children…。This is a bedroom. We insist on a one-hour nap after lunch.

　　Mrs.Rich ： It looks very clean， neat， and comfortable.
