M Good evening. This is the weather report. We had a sunny and clear sky today. But heavy rain is expected from tonight to tomorrow afternoon. If you are planning outdoor activities, you’d better put them off for two days. You can enjoy sunny days from the day after tomorrow. Make sure you bring your umbrella for two days.

M Amy, why the long face?

W I lost my bag. I don’t know where I put it.

M Sorry to hear that. I’ll help you find it. What does it look like?

M Anything else?

W It has a teddy bear key ring on it.

M Okay. Let’s find it.

03

M Mom, is there anything else to buy?

W Yes, Peter. There is one thing left. Guess what?

M Come on, Mom.

W I’m thinking of buying you new shoes. Your shoes are too old.

W You’re welcome. Then let’s go to find good ones.

04

W Andrew, how was your weekend?

M It was terrible. I’ll never forget it.

W Why? You said you’re going camping with your family.

M Yes, we were going to, but we couldn’t.

W What happened?

M My father’s car broke down as soon as we started the car. So, we had to come back home by bus.

M We just stayed at home and watched TV all day.

05

W Oh, this room is much better than I expected.

M Yes. We can take a good rest in this cabin.

W Really? I would like to swim.

M Then, let’s go swimming after lunch.

06

W I heard your grandfather passed away. I’m very sorry to hear the news.

M As principal of our school, I hope you keep the following rules in the midterm exam. First, you should enter the classroom before the test starts. Second, you should not use a pencil, but a black pen when you write an answer. Third, don’t turn your head to others during the test. Finally, when the test time is up, hand in your answer sheet immediately.

W You look worried. What’s wrong with you?

M We play basketball in P. E. class, and I’m afraid of balls.

W What do you mean by that?

M I mean I am so poor at catching balls. So, I run away from flying balls.

W A basketball doesn’t hurt you. You have to get it over.

M How can I get it over?
