M Good morning. This is the weather report for next week. It will be cloudy on Monday, and it will start to rain overnight. The rain will continue until Wednesday. It will be clear and sunny on Thursday and Friday. However, we’ll have rain again throughout the weekend. Thank you.

02

M Amy, don’t you think we need a magic stick for the magic show?

W Yes. Let’s find one on the Internet. (pause) How about this one with a star on the end?

M Well, it’s so common. We need something more special.

W Here’s one with both a star and the moon on it.

M Hey, here’s a better one. What do you think about this one with a heart and a crown on it?

W It looks good, but I think the moon with a star is better.

M Okay. Then let’s order what you like.

03

W Dad, where’s our cat, Happy?

M What do you mean? You were with him.

W No, I wasn’t. I was jumping rope. I thought you were taking care of him.

M Oh, my! Where is our cat then? I hope he hasn’t gone too far.

W Me, too. What if he gets in an accident?

M Don’t say that. I’m sure he will be okay.

W But I can’t stop thinking about bad things.

04

W Jimmy, how was your trip to Jeju-do?

M It was great. I climbed Mt. Halla, too. And this is for you.

W I can’t believe it! This is my favorite.

M I’m happy to hear that you like it.

W Thank you so much. Oh, what’s that? Did you buy this key holder on Jeju-do?

M Yes. This is called Dolharubang, and it’s famous local product. Oh, I can give it to you if you want.

W No, thanks. You already gave me a nice present. I like this orange flavored chocolate so much.

05

M May I help you?

W Yes, please. I haven’t decide what to learn for my health yet.

M Our center is famous for swimming classes. What do you think about swimming?

W It’s good. Are there any classes on weekends?

M Sure. We have two classes on weekends, in the morning and in the afternoon. Which do you like better?

W I’ll take the morning class. How much is the fee?

M It’s $30.

06

M Today, I heard our school won first prize in the inventors’ contest. I was so happy to announce the news. Our school won the prize out of more than fifty middle schools in the country. We all know that’s not easy. I know how many hours you spent on it. Now, I’d like to give you all a big hand. Let’s celebrate our victory!

07

M Let’s go to the grocery store. We ran out of milk.

W All right. Actually, we need to shop for the weekend picnic.

M Will we buy a watermelon?

W Yes. I will buy some drinks, too.

M What are you planning to have for lunch at the picnic?

W I am going to make tuna sandwiches. So, cans of tuna and bread will be needed, too.

M I think we’d better make a shopping list.

08

W What’s your plan for this Saturday?

M I have to prepare for the final test. Speaking of the test, why don’t we go to the library on Saturday?

W I’m afraid I can’t. I have an appointment with the dentist.

M That’s okay. Maybe next time.

W Well..., if you don’t mind, can you borrow some best-seller novels for me?

M Why not? Just tell me the titles before Saturday.

09

W Here are some table manners for a typical evening meal. Wait for others to start eating. Don’t eat quickly. Instead, try a little of everything. Be careful not to put your elbows on the table. Do not reach across the table to get something. Enjoy your food, but talk, too. Do not talk with food in your mouth!

10

M None of us want to make mistakes in front of others. However, in learning English, your mistakes are very important and will actually help you learn English. The key point is not to be afraid of making mistakes. Don’t waste a chance to speak English because you were too nervous about making a mistake. Don’t be shy. Be confident.

11

W What are the most important things you should pack before traveling abroad? First, your passport and flight ticket are most important. What else do you need? You also need some medicine in case you get sick. It is also important to pack some photos of yourself. You might lose your passport and then you’ll need them.

12

M Did you watch the baseball game last night?

W You mean the Korean Series?

M That’s right. It was a great game. Did you watch it?

W No, I didn’t. I ’ m not a big fan of baseball.

M I can’t believe it! Baseball is the most exciting sport. What’s your favorite sport, then?

W I love figure skating. I like it because it is beautiful.

M I don’t think so. It is more like dancing on the ice.

13

[Cellphone rings.]

M Hello?

W Where are you, Dave? You said you would come back by five.

M I did, but the traffic is so heavy now. I’m still on the bus.

W When did you leave the museum? You were supposed to get out of there at four.

M I went out of the museum half an hour later. There were lots of things to see.

W Oh, well! Is it okay if we have dinner at six?

M Sure. I’ll be able to get home by then. See you, Mom.

14

M Excuse me.

W Yes?

M I’m giving you a ticket.

W What did I wrong?

M You didn’t slow down your speed at the slow speed signal.

W Oh, I didn’t see the signal.

M Sorry, but you definitely broke the law.

15

M Suji, look at this baseball cap.

W It’s nice. I think it’ll look good on you. Why don’t you try it on?

M Okay. Just a moment. How do I look?

W You look wonderful. It’s you for sure. You should buy it.

M Let me check the price. Oh, it’s a bit expensive.

W How much is it?

M It’s $30 but I have only $20. Can you lend me the rest of the money?

W Sure, here you go.

16

W Kevin, did you see your room?

M Not yet. I just got back from school. Why?

W The floor is all wet. Did you spill water?

M No, I didn’t. Is the vase broken? It’s full of water.

W No, it’s okay.

M Oh, I know. We had a shower this morning. I forgot to close the window.

W That’s it. Now go to your room and clean the floor.

17

① M Can you come over to my house now?

W Okay. I’ll be there right away.

② M Thanks for inviting me.

W I’m glad you could come. Come in.

③ M How may I help you?

W I’m looking for a present for my friend.

④ M How many are there in your party?

W There are five.

⑤ M Can you make it at three o’clock?

W It’s a little early for me. How about four?

18

W I’ve been told that you joined the winter camp. How was it?

M I had a lot of fun there in Pyeongchang.

W What did you do there?

M I learned to ski and snowboard. I made lots of good friends, too. The two weeks passed so quickly.

W I bet you paid a lot of money for the camp.

M No, it was free. The camp is run by a charitable organization.

W That’s good information. I’d like to join next time.

19

W Peter, where are you going?

M To Brian’s, Mom. You know him, don’t you? We will study science together.

W I see. When are you coming back?

M Well, maybe in two or three hours. Why?

W We are going to have dinner at your aunt’s.

M When are you leaving home?

W At around six. Is it okay for you to come straight there?

20

M Excuse me, ma’am. Have you finished your lunch?

W Yes, I have.

M How did you enjoy it?

W Everything was good. Especially the steak here was excellent.

M Thank you very much. Most of our customers come here for the steak. Do you mind if I take these empty dishes away?

W Of course not. But remember I ordered cheesecake for dessert.
