M I recently designed a cup.

W Oh, really? What does it look like?

M It has two holes on the handle — one at the top and the other at the bottom.

W Why did you make the holes on the handle?

M I made them for the teaspoon. If you use this cup, you don’t have to put the teaspoon on the dirty table.

W Wow! You’re a genius.

02

[Telephone rings.]

W Hello.

M Hi, Sarah. This is Simon. I am sorry I can’t make it today.

W Why not?

M I’m having eye trouble.

W Sorry to hear that. How did you get that?

M I went to a pool yesterday. I guess I got the problem there.

W Have you gone to see the doctor?

M Not yet. I’m going to go to the hospital after lunch.

03

① W My car will not move forward because of this stone.

M Let me move the stone.

② W Is this statue made of stone? It’s really beautiful.

M That’s not right. It’s made of metal.

③ W Look out. There’s a stone on the ground.

M Oh! I could have fallen.

④ W There are many beautiful stones in the beach.

M Take one of them if you want.

⑤ W Watch your step. The paint is still wet.

M Thanks for telling me.

04

W I like your watch. Where did you get it?

M I bought it in Namdaemoon Market.

W I’d like to visit there. Can you come with me?

M Sure. Is it okay if I go there this Wednesday?

W I have a piano lesson on Wednesdays and Fridays. How about Saturday?

M Well, I have an appointment on Saturday. But it’ll be okay in the evening .

W That’s great. Then, let’s meet at 7 p.m.

05

W In the world, there are many countries that use English. The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia are some countries where people use English as a first language. And English is used as a second language in India, Singapore, Kenya, the Philippines and many other countries. In other countries like Korea and Russia, people learn English as an important foreign language.

06

M Rebecca, don’t you think that girl over there is pretty?

W Who? The one with the white blouse and red pants?

M Yeah. She looks like an angel. I’m sure she has a nice personality, too.

W Hmm...! I don’t think she’s as beautiful as an angel. Besides, she’s rather cold-hearted.

M Do you know her?

W I do. She’s my brother’s girlfriend.

M Oh, no. Does she have a boyfriend already?

W I’m afraid she does.

07

① W Turn off the air conditioner, won’t you?

M Isn’t it too hot?

② W Aren’t you late for school?

M I don’t go to school today.

③ W Could you buy a bottle of milk on your way home?

M All right. Anything else?

④ W Where is my cellphone?

M How am I supposed to know?

⑤ W Do you think I should have my hair cut?

M I’m busy this afternoon.

08

M Sojin, can I ask you a favor?

W What is it?

M My homeroom teacher is getting married soon. My classmates are preparing a song for the wedding. So, could you play the violin while we sing?

W I wish I could, but I can’t. I don’t have much time until my violin competition.

M When is the competition?

W It’s next week.

M Then, it won’t be a problem. My teacher’s wedding is next month.

W Oh, that’s great.

09

M Yesterday I went to a graduate exhibition and saw your work.

W Really? Did you like it?

M It was very impressive. Did you really draw the painting yourself?

W Yes. It took a very long time to complete the work.

M I think you will be a talented painter.

W Thanks, Mr. Kim. That’s very kind of you to say so.

10

M How much should I tip the waitress?

W Ten dollars, I guess.

M That’s too much. That’s 20% of our fifty-dollar bill. Twenty percent is too high for the service we received. We kept waiting for the food because of her slowness.

W Well, I know, but I think she was trying to offer good service.

M I don’t agree with you. I’ll leave ten percent.

11

W What are you planning to do this weekend?

M I’m planning to play tennis with some close friends and go to my friend’s birthday party this Saturday.

W And on Sunday?

M I’m going to ride my bicycle in the park. How about you?

W I’m going to see the play Hamlet with my family Saturday night. On Sunday, I have to work on my homework.

M Those are good plans.

12

M Do you want to improve your English during the vacation? Join Winter English Camp! It is a free English camp where you can enjoy learning English. The teacher is the native English teacher of our school, Anna Thomson. You are going to sing songs, play games, and read storybooks with Anna. Your English will be greatly improved with this three-week camp.

13

W Are you going to attend this graduation party?

M When is the party? I have an appointment on October 25th.

W It’s at 4 p.m. on the 26th.

M Cool. Where is the party?

W It’ll be at Party House. We can take Subway Line Number 2. And the fee is 10,000 won.

M I got it. See you then.

14

M This is something you need when you want to draw a straight line. You can measure the length of things with this. This varies in its size, and it can have many different colors. However, this is usually a thin, flat and wide stick with numbers written on it. The part where the numbers are written is mostly transparent, so you can see through it. Many students carry this in their pencil cases, so you might have one, too.

15

W Hey, Nick! Are you going home? Come along with me.

M Okay. Oh, wait! This is not my bag.

W Really? How did that happen?

M Maybe I took someone else’s bag by mistake.

W Whose bag is it? Is there a name tag or something?

M Oh, yeah. There is a name tag on it with a telephone number. Can I use your phone?

W Go ahead.

16

M How may I help you?

W I need something for my skin after I shower.

M How about this body lotion? This is very popular nowadays.

W My skin is very dry, so I would prefer a cream.

M Then I recommend this body cream.

W Do you mind if I try this?

M Of course not. Go ahead. It smells very good.

W Yeah, it does. I’ll take it.

M We also have a lip-balm and shampoo with the same fragrance. Would you like to see them too?

W No, thanks. I’ll try them next time.

17

M Why are you so upset?

W I’m having trouble with my older sister. She uses my belongings without asking me, so I’m annoyed about that.

M Have you told her how you feel about it?

W Actually, I’ve been telling my dad, not my sister.

M And she must be angry at you for telling him about it.

W Exactly. What do you think I can do?

18

W Hi, Tom. Are you going to have lunch?

M Yes, I am. Do you know any good restaurants around here?

W There’s a good one around that corner.

M Did you have lunch? Let’s go there together.

W All right. I haven’t been there for a long time. Is this your friend?

M Oh, let me introduce her. This is my sister, Jane.

19

W Did you read a science book and write a report on it?

M No, not yet. I went to the library to check out the book The Human Body, but it was already checked out. I think I’ll have to buy a copy today.

W You mean this book?

M Yes, that’s right. Did you write your report about this book?

W Yes. I checked this book out last week, and I was going to return it today because I’ve finished the homework already.
