W Of course. Which one do you prefer, round or rectangular?

M Um, I prefer round ones to rectangular ones.

W Okay. Then, how about this clock with a floral print?

W Okay, then what about this one?

M Great! That’s exactly what I want. I’ll take it.

M All right. Let’s talk about our future jobs first. What do you want to be in the future?

W I want to be a doctor. What about you?

M Well, I wanted to be a police officer or a fire fighter when I was very young. But now I want to be a nurse.

W Good! Then let’s go to the nearby hospital and interview a doctor and a nurse there.

M Good idea! Let’s meet at the Peterson General Hospital tomorrow.

W Thank you for coming. Happy to hear that.

M I’m a student who wants to be a great painter just like you. But I don’t think I’m talented. What should I do?

W Just practice hard for your dream, and draw everything you see.

M Okay. Then, can you take a look at my paintings later? I wonder whether my paintings are good or not.

W Sure. Here’s my name card. Call me at this number.

M I will. Thank you very much.

M Look at the mess! What are you doing, Minji?

12

M Do you like cats? If you have decided to get a cat as a pet, there are some things you should think about first. Most people think cats are quiet, but actually many cats can be quite loud. You should not give cats sugary treats like ice cream or candy. It can cause serious health problems. You also need to understand that most cats have a habit of scratching things. Lastly, many cats lose a lot of hair all year round. Please think about these things carefully before you bring a cat into your family.

13

W What are you planning to do this Sunday?

M I’m planning to see a play.

W That’s a great idea. Can I go with you?

M Fine. This is the list of plays I’m thinking about. Which one do you prefer?

W Well, I prefer cheaper ones. 8,000 won looks fine.

M Okay. Then, of the two plays, I prefer the one that opens early. I have to do homework in the afternoon.

W No problem. Then let’s meet at 8 a.m. this Sunday.

M Okay. I’m already excited.

14

M There are many people on earth. The number of people is getting bigger and bigger. They are using a lot of resources on Earth. If we continue, we can’t leave them to our sons and daughters. Now, it’s time that we should do something to save them.

15

W It’s beginning to snow.

M We should have left before it began to snow. The roads are icy, and I can’t run fast enough to make it on time.

W We will be late for an important meeting with a client . What should we do?

M For tunately, I brought my cellphone with me. I’ll call her to inform her that we are on our way.

W That’s a good idea.

16

W Do you know when Dr. Kim’s dental clinic closes?

M Well, I’m not sure. Why?

W I want to see the dentist after going to the academy, but I’m not sure if it is open then.

M What time do you finish at the academy?

W Today, I have one more class, so my class finishes at 5:50. I think I can get there around six thirty.

M Well, I’m not sure when it closes, but it is open at half past six. I have visited there at 6:40 before, and it was still open.

W That’s great. I have enough time, then.

17

W Why are you looking at the flower pot?

M My rose is dying. I don’t know what I did wrong.

W Where did you put it?

M Right here, at the corner of my bedroom window. It gets enough sunshine.

W How often did you water it?

M Every morning.

W Well, I think you should have watered it less.

M Are you sure about that?

18

W Dad, I’m home.

M Emma, you look so happy. Did something good happen at school today?

W David, come to have dinner.

M Mom, I don’t need to. I’ve just had cup noodles.

W Again? You had it yesterday as well. I wonder why you like it so much.

M It’s because instant noodles are very delicious. I think I can have them every day.

W They’re delicious, but they’re not good for your health.

M Oh, is it okay to eat them once a week, please?
