M How are you today?

W Well, everything is wonderful except for the weather. I feel like I’m in a desert.

M You can say that again. When I got to school this morning, I was wet with sweat.

W But is it cool in the classroom thanks to the air conditioner?

M No, we often have to turn it off to save energy. How about your classroom?

W We often turn it on low. Anyway, it’s hot all day.

M Yes, it’s like mid-summer.

02

M What do you want for your birthday present?

W Mm.... Let me think. I’ve not decided yet.

M How about a purse? You told me you needed one last time.

W Right, but I bought one already.

M Then, do you want a backpack?

W Yes. Actually, I need a big one.

M Which color do you prefer, red or green?

W A red-colored one.

03

M Hello, Ms. Wilson. You have an endless shopping list.

W That’s because I am preparing a party for my son. I have many things to buy.

M Why are you having a party?

W My son was selected as the MVP of the final football game. I’m so happy that I want to celebrate it.

M Oh, great! Congratulations!

04

W What did you do today?

M I just stayed home and watched DVDs all day.

W You should not waste your vacation watching DVDs. Let’s do something fun together. How about riding a bike along the river?

M I don’t think that’s fun.

W Why don’t we play basketball with some friends?

M That’s better. Let’s go now.

05

W Are you going to the international airport?

M Yes.

W How much is the fare?

M It’s one thousand and two hundred won.

W Thanks. Well, how many stops are left to the airport?

M You should get off at the next stop.

W Thank you very much.

M Don’t mention it.

06

W Simon, it’s already two o’clock. Why don’t we have some lunch?

M Oh, I lost track of time reading my novel.

W Where do you want to go?

M I heard there’s a famous Indian restaurant two blocks away. Have you ever been there?

W Oh, you mean New Delhi. I ate there last week with my family.

M How was it?

W I bet you will like it.

07

W It is so hot these days, Greg.

M Right. It’s spring now, but it’s already too hot. Do you know why this is happening?

W Yes. It’s because of global warming.

M Right. I learned it at school. Then, what can we do to slow down global warming?

W There are some ways like recycling, reusing, saving energy and so on.

M Anything else?

W Don’t forget to use public transportation.

08

M Ms. Han. May I go home now?

W What’s the matter with you?

M I didn’t bring my homework for the English class.

W You must not miss other classes because of that.

M But the English teacher is going to give me a low mark if I don’t hand it in.

W Let me think. Mm..., I will let you go home during lunchtime.

M Thank you.

09

I’ll talk to you again before we reach our destination. Thank you and enjoy your flight.

W These days, many people enjoy many different kinds of exercise such as yoga, biking, and aerobics. But many doctors say that walking is one of the best forms of exercise. It is cheap, easy, and does not require any equipment. The only problem is sometimes the weather isn’t good for you to walk outside. Don’t worry. In that case, you can try to walk more in your school or at your workplace. How about walking ten thousand steps a day?

M Jane, this is Jim. Are you busy now?

W No, what’s up?

M What are you going to do tonight?

W I’m not sure. Why?

W Super Heroes? It’s very popular, isn’t it?

M Yes! How about watching the movie with me?

W In that case, I’ll be in.

13

M You did a good job on the court.

W Thank you.

M Just keep two things in mind.

W Yes. What are they?

M Practice throwing the ball higher. And make sure not to hesitate to shoot the ball.

W Okay. I’ll do that. I’d really like to win this middle school championship.

M Good! I’ll also do my best to train you. Let’s call it a day. See you at the gym tomorrow.

[Telephone rings.]

M Hello?

W Hello. I’m calling from Daehan Books. May I speak to Mr. Smith?

M This is John Smith.

W Hi. The book you requested has just arrived.

M That’s good news. I’ve been waiting for it for two weeks.

W I’m sorry it took us a long time to get it. Will you come here to pick it up?

M I don’t have time to visit the store this week. Could you send the book by mail?

W We can do that, but you will need to pay a delivery fee. Is that okay?

M That’s not a problem.

16

M Is that you, Jina? You changed your hairstyle. You look so different.

W Yeah, I got it cut and permed.

M You also changed your hair color, didn’t you?

W That’s right. I dyed it, too. Do you like it?

M Yes, I like your new hairstyle.

W But I’m not satisfied with the color. It’s too light.

M Do you think so? Then you can dye it again a little darker.

W I think I should.

17

① W Let’s go to the concert this Saturday.

M Sounds great. What time shall we meet?

② W I have butterflies in my stomach.

M Don’t be frightened. Everything will be all right.

③ W I finally passed the audition.

M Congratulations! You realized your dream!

④ W Who is the boy singing on the stage?

M Oh, that’s Minsu. He’s my class captain.

⑤ W It’s your turn. Please go on the stage.

M Okay. I’ll do my best.

W Susie is a girl of many talents. She plays the violin very well. She started playing the violin when she was eight. She also learned tap dancing in elementary school. She learned to ski from her parents when she was 10 years old. She had learned French before she went to middle school. I’m sure she must have been so busy when she was young.

19

W James, can you help me clean the house?

M Mom, you cleaned the house yesterday.

W We must clean every day.

M I can’t, however. A TV show I’m dying to watch will start soon.

W I’m very busy and have a lot of work to do today. I need your help, son.

M Okay. What should I do first?

20

M How was today’s English speaking test?

W It was so hard. I didn’t do well. So my teacher said that I should take a test again next Monday.

M That’s too bad. Don’t give up! You can do well next time.

W But I’m afraid that I’m going to fail it again.

M Try harder, and you will pass the next test.
