M Here we are in the Olympic Stadium. The last jumper Ted Johnson from    England is going to jump. The height of the bar is at 2.30 meters. Now he  begins his last try. And he jumps! Oh! He crashes into the bar. The bar has  fallen. Is he hurt? No, he’s all right. He’s getting up and walking away, but  he looks very disappointed.

M Hello?

W Brian, are you still at the store?

M Yes. I’ve picked up the beverages. Why? Do you need something else?

W Yes. I’ve just found we’re almost out of toilet paper. Can you buy some?

M No problem. What are you doing now? Do you want me to go home immediately?

W No. it’s okay. I’m arranging my books on the shelf. This is a lot of work.

M Before I go home, I’ll look around the sportswear section for a while. Don’t work too hard.

W Okay. I’ll see you when you get home.

03

W Excuse me, do you know how to get to Renaissance Hotel?

M Oh, I’m staying at the hotel. I can show you the way. Go straight one block and turn left. Oh, no, turn right.

W Go straight one block and turn right. Then?

M Go straight one more block and turn left. It’ll be on your left.

W I see. Thank you so much for your help.

M No problem.

04

W What are you planning to do after the school drawing contest tomorrow?

M Nothing special.

W Let’s go to see a movie.

M Cool. Shall we book a ticket now?

W Let’s do it. How about Star Trek Into Darkness at 2 o’clock?

M Are you kidding? We’ll be at the park by that time.

W Really? Aren’t we supposed to finish drawing pictures around noon?

M No, we’ll draw pictures in the morning, and have lunch at noon. And then we’ll spend time at the park until three o’clock .

W I see. Let’s see a movie at 4.

05

M Nice to meet you, Ms. Choi.

W Hello, and thanks for inviting me.

M We’re happy to have you on this show. I read your new book. The storyline was touching and creative.

W I’m glad you liked it.

M Could you tell us how you wrote the book ?

W People usually think fairy tales are only for children, but they’re not. We all long for fairy tales from the heart.

M That’s why you wrote a fairy tale for adults.

W That’s right.

06

M May I help you?

W I’d like to change these coins into bills.

M Wow, you’ve gathered lots of coins. Let me put these coins into the machine and see how much they are worth.

W How long will it take?

M It’ll take less than two minutes. (beep) It’s done. They’re worth $45.

W Wow, it’s more than I expected. Thanks.

M You’re welcome.

M The theater is next to the fire station.

④ W Did you make a reservation at the restaurant?

M No, I was so busy. Could you do it for me?

⑤ W Please tell me your bank account number.

M Wait. I’ll have to check. I haven’t memorized it.

[Telephone rings.]

M Hello?

W Dad, it’s me.

M Sarah? You just stepped out. What’s up?

W Well, I’m on my way to the national museum but I forgot which bus I should take. Could you let me know?

M Wait a second. I’ll look it up on my smartphone.

W I wrote it down somewhere, but I can’t remember where.

M That happens. Do you want me to drive you there if you are in a hurry?

W No, it’s okay. I have plenty of time.

M Okay. I’ll send you a text message with the bus information.

W Okay. Thank you.

09

M Let’s go to an Internet cafe.

W Maybe next time. I’m going home.

M Why are you going home so early? Do you have something to do?

W I should finish my history report today.

M But there’s still a week before the due date.

W I tend to try to finish assignments as early as possible. I feel more relaxed when I can take a rest after getting important things done.

M I think you have a point. Maybe I should do the same.

10

M Hi, I want to buy a toy for my 3-year-old cousin.

W Kids that age love blocks or dolls. Which one do you prefer?

M The blocks look nice. How much are they?

W They’re $50, but you can get a 10% discount if you have a coupon.

M Is this the coupon I can use?

W Let me see. Oh, you cannot use this coupon any more. See? It was until last month.

M I see. I’ll take the blocks anyway.

11

M What are you reading?

W It’s a book about bananas.

M Is there something interesting about them?

M Really? That’s interesting.

W Yeah, I like this book. I’d like to buy it.

M If I were you, I would go to the library and borrow the book.

W Well, I like buying books. I’ll be right back after paying for it.

12

W Good morning. This is the principal speaking. Do you remember when your class visited a school in Hong Kong last year? Every day this week, we are going to have some special guests visiting our school. The guests are students from Saint Mark’s School in Hong Kong. We expect them to arrive at 9 this morning. They will take classes with you, and have lunch with you. Please make them feel welcome, and help them enjoy their week at our school.

13

M Did you finish the music homework?

W Not yet. I haven’t decided which concert to go to.

M How about going to the concert by Seoul Orchestra together?

W Sounds good. When and where is the concert?

M It’s held on July 28th and 29th at White Art Center.

W The 29th would be fine with me. How much is the fee?

M Tickets are $20 for R seats, $15 for S seats and $12 for A seats.

W An A seat is good for me. By the way, I want to take my little sister with me. Is there an age limit?

M Yes. Children who are aged under seven cannot enter the hall.

M You can see this in the sky. It’s the gathering of small waterdrops in the air. Its color changes with time and weather. For example, its color becomes red at sunset, and it becomes dark blue at night. Also, when it becomes gray, you can guess that you’ll have rain soon.

15

M Hi, Monica. Tell me what you are going to do this afternoon.

W I’m not sure. I’ll probably stay home and read a book. How about you?

M Well, I’m planning to go fishing. Would you like to join me?

W Sure. I’d be happy to. Going fishing sounds a lot more exciting than reading a book at home.

M Good! I’ll pick you up at around 1 o’clock.

W See you then.

16

M What time shall we meet for the basketball game tomorrow?

W What time does the game start?

M It starts at 7 p.m. How about meeting at 6:30 at the bus stop?

W There will be a traffic jam then. Why don’t we make it at 5:30?

M Well, my piano lesson finishes at 5:30. It’ll take about ten minutes to get to the bus stop.

W Alright. See you at 5:40. I’ll buy hamburgers and then go to the bus stop.

M Cool.

17

W One of Judy’s friends told her about a flower market that opens at midnight. Judy wants to go have a look at the market, but she is worried about going there alone so late at night. Moreover, there’s no public transportation at midnight, so Judy doesn’t know how she can get there and come home. Judy hopes her father can take her there. In this situation, what would Judy most likely say to her father?

18

W What are you searching for?

M I’m searching for Bluetooth earphones. They look very cool and convenient.

W They need to be charged often. They are also quite easy to lose.

M But take a look at this pair. This is the latest model, and they look so cool.

W Okay, then try mine first for a few days. Then you can decide whether to buy them or not.

M That’s a great idea. Don’t you use them often?

W Not really. I like my old ones better. I’ll bring them tomorrow.

M Thank you so much.

19

M Hi, Helen. I’m sorry I’m late.

W What happened to you?

M I lost my bag. I left it on the subway.

W That’s too bad. So, what did you do about it?

M I went to the Lost and Found in the subway station and reported it.

W Good idea! I hope you find it.

M I hope so. Anyway, I’m really sorry I kept you waiting so long.
