It's very popular.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Will do. Thanks for the water, Ryan. It's refreshing.

You're welcome, Olivia.

Enjoy your relaxing day.

It’s a farm full of adventure sports.

It seems like a good place.

Hi Linda, how are you?

I'm fine. How about you?

I’m also fine.

By the way, are you going on business this weekend, yeah?

Yes and I'll take my dad with me.

Great idea.

By taking my dad on holiday, I killed two birds with one stone.

I got to go away, but also spend time with him.

You are right.

We should spend more time with our parents.

Oh it's time to go to work, I have to go.

All right, goodbye.

I heard you are going abroad next year.

Yeah! I’m planning to go to Canada.

Oh, that's great.

I can work for a media company and maybe get a job there in the future.

Well, I hope it all works out.

Even I am planning to travel abroad for engineering.

Nice! What you think will be a better country for it?

Well... As my relatives suggested that I must go to U. S to complete training.

It's a better choice.

It's getting late. See you later.

Sure. Thanks.

How did it fit?

Not too bad.

I think I'll take it.

Okay. Here you are. Thank you.

Here is your receipt. Have a nice day.

Mom, I'm home.

Hello, my dear. How was school?

School was okay.

I'm glad to hear that.

What are you cooking? It smells so good.

I am baking cakes.

It looks really yummy. I'll give you a hand.

Great! Help me wash the apples and cut them into small pieces.

Yeah mom. I got it.

Don't forget to wash your hands first.

Of course. Anyway, I did great on the test.

Mom, I was so worried about that test.

But now I feel great.

What a relief!

Yeah! You have been studying so hard the past few weeks.

Now you can relax and enjoy life.

You are right.

Do you have a laptop?

Yes. But why do you ask?

May I borrow it for one day?

My laptop is broken.

It didn't work.

I need it to do my homework.

Sure. By the way, what's wrong with your laptop?

I put my laptop down carelessly, so the laptop monitor is broken.

Poor you.

My father took it to the service center where we bought it.

I hope it can be repaired.

Well, you can use my laptop until your laptop is done.

Thank you so much.

No problem.

Oh, Hi Adam. Long time no see.

Come in!

It's really nice to see you.

You're looking great!

Thank you.

Come to the living room and make yourself at home.

Would you like a cup of tea as usual with some cookies?

I’d love to, thanks.

Here are your tea and some home-made cookies.

Oh! I really like them, thanks.

So, how was your trip?

I hit some traffic on the motorway, but quite smooth overall.

Excellent! How’s your parents?

They’re all well. They send their love!

Well, next month I hope I will have time to visit them.

How's it going?

Everything’s alright.

I graduated last month and I'm finding a job.

How about you?

I’m good, I’m preparing for my final exam.

Hey Jennifer. Are you going to Sally's birthday party tonight?

Is that tonight?

Yeah. Can you go?

I was thinking about it. Are you?

Yeah, I heard it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Oh.

Well... I think you should go. It's your best friend's birthday, after all.

No, she isn't my best friend.

What happened?

She slandered me.

Although she apologized, we can't be good friends anymore.

That's really bad.

Thank you so much.

If you hadn’t helped me last week, I wouldn’t have finished the job on time.

Oh. It’s nothing.

We are friends and colleagues, aren't we?

And you often helped me.

It was such a difficult project.

Without your help, I wouldn’t be able to do it alone.

So I have to say thank you, anyway.

I'm glad to have helped.

If there's anything else I can do, please let me know.

I will. And may I offer you a meal as a thank you?

Oh, just buy me a drink and we're even-steven.

Okay, so tomorrow morning I'll buy you a glass of starbuck.

Great! Well.. I have to go. See ya!

See ya!

Where have you been?

Do you know what time it is?

I'm sorry, Dad. I lost track of time.

Alright, I have something to tell you and you have a lot of explaining to do.

First, tell me why you're late.

I forgot my phone and had to go back to class to get it.

That still doesn't explain why you're late, but okay.

Now I want you to explain this.

What's the matter, Dad?

Why did you get an F in Literature?

I didn't study enough.

I'm disappointed in you.

You won't be allowed to go out until you pass the test.

We haven't been apart for so long.

I'll miss you.

Yeah, I'll miss you too. It's just a year.

I promise we'll stay in touch.

We can have video calls every week.

Yeah. Feel free to call me any time.

Sure. Maybe you could come visit me while I'm there.

I wish I could, but you know I need to finish my studies.

Yeah, right.

So we'll be in touch for sure.

Definitely!

Well, I have to go now. I need to pack my bags and get ready.

Thanks for having me and showing me around.

It was nothing, really.

Don't forget to let me know when you get there okay?

Will do. I'll text.

Now get going before you miss your flight.

Take care and see you again soon.

Bye!

Bye, Rachel.

Hey, how are you?

I'm good. How about you?

I am fine. So in which company are you working?

I am working at Golden Hotel.

What is your post?

I am in the security department.

That’s great!

Yeah, I really love my job.

Why?

Yeah, I like that it's mostly a stable job with opportunities even in a bad economy.

I agree with you.

Welcome to PG Group, David.

I'm Tom.

Hello, it's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too, how are you today?

I am doing well, and yourself?

Great, thanks. So David, shall we start?

Yeah, sure.

First of all, let me introduce myself.

I am the manager of our engineering department here and we have an open position.

Yes sir, I read about the position on your website, and I think I am a good fit.

Great! So which school did you graduate from?

I was a student at Oxford University, and I graduated with a bachelor degree in computer science.

Amazing.

Yeah, I've also worked as a computer lab tutor in school for about 2 years.

What are you looking for in a job?

The job should definitely help me grow in my career.

I'd be happy to learn and develop while working in a company as passionate as yours.

So can you describe yourself in one word?

Diligent.

Very well. Now, do you mind working overtime?

No, I don't mind.

Okay, do you have any questions for me?

No, I think I have a pretty good understanding of the requirements.

I hope to have the opportunity to work for you.

I can tell that you are a good candidate.

Expect to hear from us within a week or so about the job.

Thanks, sir. Have a nice day.

Well, hello there, Diana!

Wow. Long time no see.

It is great to see you again!

Linda! Hello! What a coincidence!

I haven’t seen you in ages! It is great to see you.

Yeah, right. It feels like ages ago.

So what brings you to Manchester? Are you just visiting?

I travel with my boyfriend.

Anyway, really happy to see you here.

Yeah... it's a small world.

We must keep in touch. Do you still have my mobile number?

No. I lost my phone here is my new number.

OK. I will save your number.

I've got to go back to work. But give me a ring so we can arrange dinner sometime.

For sure, take care. Bye!

What happened? You look so sad.

Yesterday, my bag was stolen.

Gosh, that's bad.

That's right, I left my car keys, phone and wallet in there.

So how did you get home?

I borrowed a girl's phone and called my husband. He's on his way.

Have you reported it to the police?

Yes, I have.

I hope you find your bag.

Me too.

Wow this is so delicious.

This is apple pie, right?

Yes, right. Have you ever tried this?

Yeah, I've had this before.

Well... you know, apple pie originated in England.

Oh really?

Yeah. Apple pie is an unofficial symbol of the United States

and one of its signature comfort foods.

Can you teach me to make this?

Of course.

Great!

Hey, see that guy outside?

What guy?

The one by the door. He's always staring.

No clue who he is.

Think he's into you?

Nah.

Maybe he's just looking at the trees or something.

Let's get some drinks.

Cool. What are you getting?

Hot chocolate for me. How about you?

Go for an iced Americano.

Sounds good. But seriously, that guy's still staring.

Ugh, kinda creepy, right?

Totally. Let's forget him and enjoy our drinks.

Hey, got any old music boxes?

How old are we talking?

From the 1920s, maybe?

Ah, lucky day. We had seven, but one sold today.

Awesome! Do any have, you know, dancers?

Yeah, dancing figures are a hit.

Here, two have 'em.

Wow, both look amazing.

I know, right?

What's the damage?

Was $100,000, but now, just $50,000.

Pricey, but I'll take it.

Trust me, you'll love it.

Got a warranty or something?

Nope. But I know a guy who fixes 'em.

Fair enough.

Even if it's broke, still a great piece to have!

Have you seen Mike today?

Yes, but he looked really sad.

What's wrong with him?

I'm not sure. He didn't say much.

That's unusual. Mike is always so talkative.

I know, right?

Maybe he's going through something.

Should we talk to him about it?

I think we should, but carefully.

Yeah, we don't want to make him uncomfortable.

Exactly. Maybe we can ask if he needs any help.

Good idea. We can be there for him as friends.

Jackson, you're cheating on me, aren't you?

Wait, let's talk about this.

I can't even look at you right now.

Just chill, okay?

Get out.

Hear me out, just once.

Fine. Why did you cheat?

Look, I met her at a bar.

We had a drink, then she kissed me.

She kissed you?

Uh, more like a peck on the cheek.

Don't lie. Linda saw you two kissing.

I'm really sorry.

Can we start over?

No chance.

Thanks for helping me get into bird watching!

Sure thing. Bird watching is pretty cool.

I'm excited but kinda clueless, to be honest.

No worries, I'll teach you the basics.

Awesome, thanks!

Can we start tomorrow? Know a good spot?

Yeah, there's this quiet park nearby.

Always tons of birds.

Will we see different kinds?

Totally. Bring binoculars, and you'll see them even from a distance.

Cool! I've got this bird book too.

Boss says this has to be done tonight.

You kidding? He said we had till next week!

Client wants it tonight, man.

That's nuts.

Not my call. If you're mad, tell the boss.

This is messed up. Can't do it in one night.

It stinks, I know. But I'll help you, okay?

Thanks, man.

Now, let's get started.

First, gotta cancel my plans for tonight.

Yeah, better do that.

Long time no see! Where've you been?

Hey! Was visiting my grandma overseas.

Again? Didn't you just go?

Yep, but had to go back. She got sick.

How's she doing now?

Better, she's actually staying with us.

That's good to hear!

Haven't seen Anna though, you know why?

Heard her grandma's not doing well either.

That sucks.

We should really keep an eye on our grandparents, huh?

Totally.

Visit the more often, even.

Yeah. It'll make their day.

Busy day, huh?

Ugh, yes. Walked all over for meetings. I'm beat.

How about a drink to relax?

Sounds perfect. Let's go.

Invite Timmy too?

Nah, he won't come.

Why not?

He doesn't drink.

Okay, just us then. Let's go.

Hey Kathy, how's it going?

Good, you?

Super busy! Jogging now, then tons to do!

Like what?

Got a 10am meeting, then another at 2pm.

Meetings, ugh!

Yeah, but gotta keep going!

You got this!

How many more meetings this month?

Just two next week.

Planning any breaks?

Yep, once I'm done, it's vacation time!

Hang in there, you'll make it!

What's your dream, man?

Used to dream about space, being an astronaut.

What changed?

Got scared of heights!

Tough to be an astronaut then!

Yeah! So, what about you?

No dream, just a goal now.

Cool, what's the goal?

Wanna go to a U.S. college. Be a scientist.

Tough to get in?

Yeah, and costly. Gotta save up.

Sounds like a plan.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Thanks, man. Hope to make it big one day!

Yes, I understand.

We will meet to clarify this issue tomorrow.

Okay, I'm sure, have a nice day.

Oh, What's the specialty there?

Why are there a lot of balloons and fresh flowers?

Surprise? My Little Simon.

What happened?

Johnny, don't call me little Simon.

I'm 24 years old now.

Yes, and from today, you are 25 years old.

Today I'm 25 years old.

Yes, you are 25 years old.

What? So today is my birthday.

That's right, today is your birthday.

Happy birthday to you.

Oh, God.

So everything here, you guys prepared for me.

That's right.

Prepared for Simon's 25th birthday.

Thank all of you very much, my friends.

I'm very happy.

You deserve it, Simon.

You're very kind to everyone.

Oh. Thank you.

Can I hug all of you?

Oh, you have a really warm heart, Simon.

Excuse me.

Good afternoon, sir! How can I help you?

My name is Smith in room 1602, on the 26th floor.

Could you tell me what time checkout is?

Uhm...Hold on a minute, Mr Smith...in room 1602...

Well, it's 4 p.m..

Oh, I have a flight that leaves in about two hours

so I need to check out earlier please.

Was everything satisfactory?

Well, The beds were really comfortable

and we weren't expecting our own television connected to the internet.

I'm glad you liked it.

How much will that be?

Let's see. The total comes to $237.50.

How would you like to pay for that?

I'll pay with my Visa thanks

but I'll need a receipt so I can charge it to my company.

Absolutely.

Here you are, sir.

We hope you enjoyed your stay with us.

And we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Excuse me.

Could you tell me how I can get to the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel?

If you're in front of the Disney Store on Seventh Avenue,

then the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel is around the corner

On 7th Avenue?

How far is it?

It's about an hour, if you go by taxi.

Pardon me.

Can you tell me what street this is?

It's 6th Avenue.

How can I get to The New York Marriott Marquis hotel?

You can get there by bus.

Which bus should I take?

You can take No.26 or No.47 to get there.

How far is it?

It's about ten minutes later than by taxi.

Where's the bus stop of number 47?

First, walk straight to the end of the road.

Then make a left turn, and walk along South street.

When you see a cross road, you will see the bus stop across the street.

Thanks. That’s very kind of you.

Good evening!

Welcome to The Grand Woodward's library!

May I help you with anything?

Evening, manager!

We'd like to borrow those books.

Alright! May you give me your library card?

You mean...an admission card?

Sorry, this is the first time I have come here.

Don't worry!

If you want to register for an admission guard, we are currently having

a promotion for new customers.

That sounds great.

I'd like to make out an admission card.

Could you tell me how much it is?

Don't worry about it.

Signing up for an admission card is on the house.

Really?

I'll make out an admission card.

How do we do that?

Fine.

I'd like to ask you some information first.

Will you give me your identity card?

Here you are.

Thanks.

We'll need it, as we can only provide the cards for residents

that are over 16 years old.

Yeah, I see.

Please fill in our card application forms here

and give them back to me as soon as you're done.

Hi. Long time no see.

I heard you are preparing for an athletics competition.

Hi, long time no see.

I miss you so much, Annie.

And....Yeah, I have an athletics competition in about two weeks.

How's it going? Are you still good?

Are you all ready?

Actually, I'm not feeling well.

What kind of problem are you having?

Do you feel worried?

Not really.

I just don't feel confident that I will win this competition.

There are many talented rivals,

and I can't believe I can do it.

I'm afraid that I will disappoint people.

You don't need to be scared, Loren.

You can do it.

I believe it firmly.

Why do you think so?

I believe it. I believe in you.

Enjoy it.

Fight hard.

Play with all you have and give it your best shot.

Can i?

Of course you can, try your hardest!

Yes, I will do my best.

Thank you for your encouragement, Annie.

I don't know what will happen to me tomorrow, I'm so worried now Laura.

You will have a job interview tomorrow.

And now you are overthinking.

But what if they ask me a question that I don't know how to answer?

Calm down, Jimmy.

Everything will be fine.

If they ask me how to solve a problem

and I have no idea how to solve it.

You have prepared for this interview for a long time!

If everything goes in a bad direction, what should I do?

I'm sure you'll be fine.

You'll be accepted into the position of the job that you want.

Thank you for your encouragement.

I feel a little better.

I've got butterflies in my stomach now.

It's okay, Jimmy

it is just a feeling, you can control it, be confident!

Be confident.

Be excited.

Don't be nervous.

Tomorrow you will have a steady mind.

Step into the interview room and used your best answers.

And you will surely get your target.

Yeah, I agree with you, Laura.

I should be confident in myself

because I have been working so hard for three months.

Yes, you can do it.

Yes, I can do it.

Dad, let me use the computer for a moment.

Did you finish today's homework?

Well. Not yet.

I'll finish it tonight.

But the teacher assigned a lot of homework.

if you don't do it now, how can you submit it on time tomorrow?

But the homework is so difficult.

I want to take a break.

Instead of playing video games or watching videos online.

You should look for more information related to today's lesson.

It will help you a lot to do homework.

Can I play first instead?

When you finish your homework,

I will let you play computer games.

Come on, Dad...

Don't be so lazy!

You need to focus on what you need to do.

Emma, what are you studying so intently?

I want to find out more information about aliens

After watching the movie "Home" last night.

Sounds interesting, so what was that movie about?

It theorizes that one day the Earth will be controlled by aliens.

The film revolves around the challenging and humorous journey

to find the mother of little Tucy and Oh.

How did you find that movie?

Had an interesting movie, full of adventure but also very meaningful.

The two main characters of the film from opposite sides

and they gradually become close,

They go together and realize many valuable lessons together.

I'm curious how the friendship between humans and aliens will be,

I'll probably look for that movie today.

I heard your family went out for Christmas yesterday.

Honestly, it's really an unforgettable holiday

when I have the opportunity to strengthen the bond.

between family members.

So where did you go?

We went to a zoo near my house, which is surrounded

by green grass and trees, and many rare animals.

I took a lot of beautiful photos there.

Great, so what impressed you the most about that zoo?

Not only did I get to see the animals,

but I also learned about their behavior and fed them.

I think zoos are important to raise people's awareness

about protecting nature as well as endangered species.

Yudy, what are you running so fast for?

Oh my god, Clare, have you seen my laptop anywhere?

Your laptop? Where did you leave it?

I remember I left it in the school library while doing my homework.

But when I went back to look for it, it was nowhere to be found.

Or has someone stolen it already?

I'm not sure.

when I came back to class from the library,

I didn't see any forgotten computers.

It's a new computer my mom bought for me for my birthday, and I really need it

to prepare for my presentation this afternoon.

In the library, there is a small building

dedicated to storing lost items and taking care of personal belongings

You can go there to look for it.

Really? How do I get there?

You can go to the block behind the library and turn right.

It's near the back gate of the school.

I see it, thank you very much.

Excuse me, is this seat taken?

That's my friend's chair.

He's been out for a while and will be back shortly.

If you don't mind, you can take a seat here.

Thank you.

This is my first time going to a concert like this, so I'm not used to it.

Sorry if I bothered you.

I met you at the school music club.

You must be very knowledgeable about music.

Honestly, no, I don't have a broad understanding of music genres,

but listening to music is actually my hobby.

Do you often go to concerts like this?

Lately, I've been busy with my exams in class

but if I have free time, I'll come.

The room seems hot and stuffy.

Yes, it's summer now.

Do you mind if I open the window for a moment?

That will make the room more airy.

But it's hot outside if you open the window

the sun will shine in.

Or do we close the windows and turn on the fan in the air conditioner?

Good idea.

It can cool the room in the fastest time.

It should have been in the evening when the air is quite cool and pleasant,

We should open the window to ventilate the room.

And during the day, close the door to avoid stuffiness.

I get it, I'll pay more attention.

So for now, where is the air conditioner remote?

Hello, can I sit here?

Okay, this place is still empty.

Are you a new student?

You look so strange.

You must not be from here.

Since I am an international student, I will study here for two weeks.

Thanks to the International student exchange program at the school.

Really? What's your nationality?

I'm Vietnamese, and I am studying

In an international associate university program.

I will learn about the educational program

as well as the extracurricular activities here.

Actually, my mother is also Vietnamese.

My parents have been in the US for a long time.

So you're an American citizen?

Yes, if you feel the need, I will help you get used to the educational program here.

Sounds good, thank you.

Good morning Amanda, why are you going to work so early today?

I just moved to a new house which is closer to the company.

So after bringing some stuff to my mom, I am immediately going to work.

Really? So how do you get to work?

Before, my house was quite far from the company, so I used to take the subway

but now I only need to walk about 10 minutes

What about you, what vehicle do you use?

My house is about 7 km from here

every day I ride a bicycle to exercise,

and at the same time enjoy the riverside view in the early morning.

That sounds good, because using a bicycle reduces the rate of traffic jams.

Before, if you went to work by car,

it would take you half an hour to get to the company.

Yes, and of course, that helps the environment too.

Jenny, do you also go to the library after school to look for references?

Not really, I just want to find more books to expand my knowledge,

but if I need to prepare for a project or presentation,

I just look for scientific materials.

What genre of books do you usually choose to read?

Science books, of course.

I'm majoring in biological research as well as genetic engineering,

so books in this genre will be very helpful.

What about you, what books do you usually read?

I think soft skills books such as communication skills,

presentation skills, learning design, and sales are great.

They help me improve and promote the necessary qualities in my future career.

What happend today Mary? you don't look happy.

My brother broke my laptop by mistake,

I had to take it in for repair all week and didn't turn my homework in on time.

What a pity! So how many brothers and sisters do you have?

I only have one younger brother.

But as you can see, he is very naughty,

often breaks my things, and is very stubborn.

I think he didn't mean to upset you,

Maybe because he's quite hyperactive.

Do you have siblings, Mart?

No. I'm the only child in the family,

so it's quite lonely sometimes.

Actually, I really want to have brothers and sisters

in the house so that I can share my thoughts and sorrows, for example.

Yes, you're right.

We're going to have a presentation

on how to help students with disabilities in our school.

So, where should we start?

In my opinion, we need to start by

giving an overview of people with disabilities

to give more information to the whole class.

Then we'll talk about discrimination in schools.

And finally the solution.

Do we have to do a PowerPoint part?

I think we should.

That makes it easier for the audience to follow the presentation.

And it's also convenient to summarize the main idea of the talk.

Should we make a short video interviewing

some students in the school about the issue?

That will make the talk more convincing?

Sounds fine. So let's get started.

We've made it to Disneyland in Los Angeles.

Thank you, how much do I have to pay?

According to the meter on the car, the fare is $ 45.

Do you have cash?

Yes, but at first I thought going to Disney would only take 15 minutes.

About $30.

Yes, but because of the traffic jam today

I had to turn around the highway

It took longer than going straight, so the fare was also higher.

I'm not worried about the price.

I'm just afraid of being late for my appointment.

It's okay, here, you can keep the change.

Thank you.

What are you reading, June?

A very good storybook

The story of a seagull and the cat who taught her to fly.

What's it about?

That bird is caught up in an oil spill

a dying seagull scrambles ashore to lay her final egg and lands on a balcony

where she meets a big black cat.

The cat promises the seagull

to look after the egg and teach the baby gull to fly.

Unbelievable.

So what do you think about this book?

Not only is race a feature of this book, but Luis Sepulveda also teaches

that it's important to help those less fortunate than yourself.

The story also condemns the misconduct of people,

which has a bad effect on nature and creatures.

Humans really lack awareness of preserving nature.

I know

even just for the sake of short term,

but sometimes they accidentally destroy their clean living environment.

There will be a presentation contest in French at the school club.

The judges will have to give a statement so that the contestants

are free to express their thoughts.

as long as they can convince the judges.

Why are you so interested in this contest?

It seems it's only for members of the French club.

Yes, but it is an opportunity for us to learn more from other excellent students

especially the skill of expressing ourselves in French.

It's up to you, it's nothing special to me anyway.

I'm not good at French

so I wouldn't understand anything if I went to see the competition.

You can ask Peter to come along, maybe he'll enjoy it.

All right, let me try it.

You don't look very well Cindy, what happened?

I'm not very well today

I feel dizzy and have a headache

Maybe because I couldn't sleep last night.

No, really, you have a fever.

If you don't feel well, you can ask the teacher to let you go to the medical room to rest.

If your condition gets worse, you should go to the doctor for an examination.

How are you feeling now?

I feel cold and tired, I must have caught a cold.

Maybe I shouldn’t continue studying today, I'll call my mom to pick me up.

Okay, if you're sick, don't try to go to school, it'll only make it worse.

Now go home and rest, maybe you need to go to the hospital.

Yeah, thank you.

Hi, Emily.

Do you remember next week is Judy’s birthday?

I wanted it to be a surprise

but I was still confused about choosing an eye candy birthday present for her.

Oh, I’ve forgotten!

Let me see…

What kind of present should we prepare for Judy?...

Should we buy her a new shirt?

I don’t think so, Dan bought her a new T-shirt anyway.

Last year we bought an eye candy snow globe for a present, and Judy liked it.

Now I'm thinking about the CD

but I'm never really sure what music she likes...

Also, we need to think about the cost.

We need to consider Judy's hobbies.

She is always writing letters so I think a pen will be useful.

Sounds great.

So which colors are we going to buy?

Well, the purple and black ones aren’t very good, they’re too dark.

How about a gold color one?

I'm sure Judy will like it when we get it for her.

That's what I had in mind.

I did my best to prepare for the project in the last presentation

but it seems like everyone didn't pay much attention.

I have heard your presentation, about the main ideas in the lesson

It's very specific and precise.

So I think the problem lies in your presentation skills.

Really? You see what I said?

When giving a presentation

You did not keep eye contact with the audience

You only focused on looking at the paper or at the information on the screen

that made the audience feel like you were reading, not giving a presentation.

But this talk is so long, I can't remember all of it.

Besides what I speak in front of the whole class, I get so nervous.

I'm afraid that I'll say the wrong thing.

It doesn't matter.

You just need to cross out the main ideas you want to say in the presentation,

and then paraphrase it for us to understand.

Your speech is too long and contains a lot of unimportant information.

It makes me want to fall asleep.

Oh man, thanks for your advice, I'll pay more attention.

Jenny, why do you look so tired today?

I couldn't sleep last night

So this morning I woke up late and didn't have time to prepare my books.

Do you have frequent insomnia?

Lately yes, I often wake up in the middle of the night and it's hard to go back to sleep.

Because I don't get enough sleep, I feel very tired the next morning.

If you keep losing sleep so often, it will have a bad effect on your health.

Why don't you go see a doctor?

I've been studying for my finals lately,

so I don't really have time to go to the hospital.

And I think this insomnia is caused by my stress of studying, so it'll be fine.

Don't underestimate it.

lack of sleep will greatly affect your study in class and also test results.

Okay, okay, I'll go check it out today.

Anna, will you come to my house tomorrow, it's my brother's birthday.

Really? that's great

Do you need my help with anything?

I have allowed my brother to invite his friends to the party.

I also want to buy the necessary decorations to decorate the house.

My sister will come home from school at 5 p.m..

So I have about three hours to prepare for the party.

So you just have to come and have fun.

But I can't just come and play.

What about the dishes for dinner?

For dinner, my parents decided to order food

at a nearby restaurant to avoid having to worry about cooking.

I asked my parents to let me organize a barbecue.

It'll be interesting.

Okay, I'll bring some whiskey then.

Hi Sue, do you have any plans when you graduate from high school?

I think about that all the time.

I had to choose one field for my higher studies.

I want to study business.

But my parents forced me to join the nonmedical stream.

They had their own justification because they know the opportunities

and prospects in the field of non-medical medicine.

You can just study in your favorite field if you do well at it.

I see business as a potential and promising industry.

Yes, but I don't know how to choose.

You can check out some blogs where students have shared

their experiences about their decisions related to their higher studies

and their consequences.

You can ask for advice.

It can help you with your capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

Thank you. I would give my ears for it.

Hey, bro.

How was your holiday?

It was the best.

I stayed home all day, played video games, and played with my dog, Ali.

Oh... What video games did you play?

I played "Dragon Slayer", "The legend of Zelda" and "Minecraft".

That's cool!

How was your holiday?

I practiced basketball all the time

and I took some photos.

I realized how wonderful it is to take great landscape photos.

Hey, what are you guys talking about?

Ah... Hey, Bella.

We're talking about holidays.

How was your holiday in Paris?

I definitely enjoyed Paris.

An absolutely beautiful city!

That sounds great.

The city makes you fall in love with it the first time you be there.

I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake like that today.

I feel like such an idiot.

Stop it!

You're not an idiot.

We all make mistakes sometimes.

But it was a really important project, and I messed it up.

Now I'm worried I'm going to get fired.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Just talk to your boss and explain what happened.

They might be more understanding than you think.

I don't know.

I feel like I let everyone down.

Look, everyone makes mistakes.

It doesn't define you as a person.

What matters is how you handle it and what you do to fix it.

You're right.

I just need to figure out a way to make it right.

Exactly!

And I'm here to help you.

We can work together and come up with a plan to fix things.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

No problem.

That's what friends are for.

So stop beating yourself up and let's focus on finding a solution.

Hey, Daniel.

Are you free?

Tom and I are going to play basketball.

Will you join?

Oh, I wish I could, but I can't.

Something wrong?

What are you doing?

I'm doing my homework.

Oh... All right.

Good luck with your homework.

See you later.

Come in.

I just bought a new video game.

Do you want to play with me?

That's great.

What is that?

Survival.

I think you'll like it.

Oh, I really want to play now,

but... I have to do my homework.

What homework is that?

Math.

You know, I don't really like numbers.

I struggled with it all day.

I can help if you want.

Yes, of course.

Thank you!

You look so tired.

What's wrong with you, Alex?

Lately, I've been so stressed at work.

Busy work makes me often stay up late.

That makes me hot tempered...

and often quarrel with my wife.

That's not good at all.

You need a vacation to relax.

Yes. I surely need a vacation.

A vacation can improve your mental health and help you feel refreshed.

Yeah, I see.

Take your wife on a trip

That will help improve your relationship with your wife.

I will write an application for a day off and spend more time with my wife.

If you want to travel, I suggest Bangkok or Paris.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I'm really looking forward to the party today.

I heard today's party is huge.

Really? Is that a rumor?

It's not a rumor. It's the truth.

It is Daniel Moran's birthday party.

I'm also looking forward to this party.

Don't get carried away.

I know he is the son of a billionaire,

but it is also his parent's money, not his.

You're not excited about the party, are you?

I only care about food.

I'm afraid there's a lot of food there.

I think there will be a lot of food there.

Why are you afraid of that?

I will get carried away and I will eat a lot, which will make me fatter.

You are the thinnest of all of us.

Hi, Neil. I would like to introduce you to a new colleague.

Sure.

This is Adam Parker.

He will replace Emily to support you in your work.

Hello, Mr. Neil.

I'm the new graphic designer.

I worked at ACB Company for two years before joining this company.

I'm excited to work with you.

Nice to meet you, Adam.

I'm Neil, your manager.

I look forward to collaborating with you too.

It's nice to know you, Mr. Neil.

You can ask me anything about work.

I will answer as best I can.

Thank you.

I will.

We will have a meeting with our team at 1 P.M today.

Are you ready for work now?

Yes, sure.

I'm ready.

Great!

Newton. I need Paul Moran's file.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Have you finished the research Bella asked you to do?

She said she'll need it next week. So I'll finish it later.

Really?

I just talked to her.

She said she'd like to meet you to get a report on the research.

I don't know.

I guess she wanted to discuss something about research.

Newton.

Have you finished the research yet?

Not yet...

But I need it now.

But you said I can finish it next week.

I know.

So now you and I will do it together.

I want it as soon as possible.

Ok. Let's do it.

The weather is beautiful today.

A beautiful day for our picnic.

I prepared sandwiches, potato salad, and fruit.

Thanks, Mom.

And I prepared orange juice for us.

Let's eat.

Mommy! Can we give the man sitting there some food?

Of course.

Bring him this bowl of potato salad and orange juice.

Yes, Mom.

Excuse me!

My mom makes a lot of food, and we want you to try this one.

Hope you like it.

For me?

Yes. My mom makes a really good potato salad.

Please try it.

Oh, thank you.

This is the best potato salad I've ever tasted.

I'm glad that you like it.

I really want to go shopping.

Will anyone go with me?

I don't want to go shopping right now.

I have a lot of clothes that I haven't had a chance to wear.

Oh, okay.

How about you, Emily?

Would you like to go shopping with me?

Okay.

But first, I need to get rid of my old clothes.

I have two boxes filled with old clothes.

You can donate those old clothes to someplace like Goodwill or Salvation Army.

Can you send me the information about those places?

Ok. I'll send it to you right now.

Please send it to me, too.

I have several old clothes I need to donate.

Okay.

Hey, Patrick!

Moran and I are getting together for lunch.

Do you want to come with us?

Oh, I really want to.

But... maybe next time

My friend will come to pick me up for lunch.

What a pity!

Where are you guys going for lunch?

We'll eat at the newly opened Korean restaurant across the street.

I've eaten there already.

Oh, really?

How was the food?

It was so good.

The taste was so original.

They have lots of traditional Korean food.

Oh. You are making me excited.

Have you made a reservation?

Not yet.

You should call the restaurant to ask if a table is available.

You're right. I'll call them now.

Happy birthday, Newton!

Thanks for inviting me to your birthday party.

Here's my birthday present.

Hope you like it.

Thank you so much, Linda. You are so thoughtful.

And here is a little gift that I have prepared for you.

Thanks, Peter.

This is the first time I received a gift from you.

Really?

Yeah.

So for my next birthday, I definitely have to invite you.

Because I haven't received any gift from you either.

Okay.

Remember to invite me.

I will definitely come.

Has the party started yet?

The others haven't arrived yet.

I think they'll be in 10 minutes.

Follow me.

I'll get some drinks for you two.

Ok. Thanks.

What are you reading, Dad?

I'm reading a very interesting article.

What is that?

It's about a haunted house.

Really?

Is it true or just a rumor?

I don't know.

The article also raises the question of whether this is true or just a rumor.

Where is it located, Dad?

It's located at 6 King Street.

I think it's just a rumor.

There are no ghosts at all.

Hey, David, what's wrong?

What are you doing?

Nothing. Just watching TV. What's up?

Come with me to explore a house at 6 King Street.

Wait a minute.

6 King Street??

I heard somewhere that this house is haunted.

Right. That's why we're going to explore it.

It sounds interesting, right?

No. There are no ghosts at all.

Do you allow your kids to play outside the house?

Yes, of course.

It's necessary for the development of the kids.

Playing outside allows kids to develop more motor skills.

Because they can walk, swing, play catch, climb trees, and ride bikes.

Do you allow your child to play alone outside?

No, I mean now, I don't allow my kid plays alone outside. He's just 6 years old.

I think children who have reached the tween years are generally safe enough to play outside alone.

Yeah, that's right.

Do you often let your kids play outside too?

Yeah, that's right.

She's two years old now.

I often take her for a walk to let my baby enjoy the fresh breezes, bird songs, forest smells, and plants.

What are you doing, Mom?

I am making tea.

I'm making you a cup of tea, Andy a cup of tea, and Dad a cup of tea.

Thanks, Mom.

What tea is that?

It's green tea.

Do you want to try it?

Yes, yes, yes.

I want to try too.

Of course.

How do you feel?

It's bitter. Is it okay if we add a bit of sugar to the tea?

Yeah, that's right.

Yes. Sugar and green tea tastes good,

but green tea is better without adding sugars and flavor.

I've only been here a week, but I've heard almost everyone mention Jessie.

Who is Jessie?

She's the leader of the sales department.

She's very good at negotiating.

I want to meet her. I'm curious about her.

She's right over there.

He is a potential customer, but I think it will be difficult for us to convince him.

I see. He's a hard nut to crack.

But I think I can convince him to agree to the contract.

I've never doubted your ability.

So I made an appointment to see him at 3 P.M this afternoon.

Okay, sir, I will not let you down.

She is really confident.

There is something about her that is very attractive.

I think so, too.

Hello, Tom.

Daniel, Anne and I are going to the movies.

Let's go together.

The movie only takes 2 hours.

I really want to, but I can't.

The name of the movie is The Adventure of Friends.

So we can't go without you.

Because I've been playing all week.

Now I need to focus on studying.

Oh, my God.

It was your mother who said it, not you, right?

Yes. And my mother told me this.

You can go outside to play under one condition:

You have to finish your homework!

That's right.

Here's a strawberry smoothie and cookie for you.

Thanks, Mom.

My girlfriend is mad at me again.

What's wrong?

She said that I don't care about her.

Really?

She was watching a movie,

and I was playing a game.

She said she was hungry and she wanted something to eat.

Then she asked me what I wanted to eat.

I said it's up to her.

She said I was only interested in the game,

and then she was mad at me.

What did I do wrong?

How do I know that?

Girls are complicated.

I can never guess what's in their mind.

I know, right?

I apologized but I didn't know why I was wrong.

Poor you.

Maybe you will find out one day.

Why do you look so sad?

Would you like to share your problem?

We can listen.

Yes. We are best friends.

But if you don't want to share, we also respect you.

Of course I want to share with you.

But it will be extremely difficult to understand.

We've been friends for ten years.

I think we can understand each other.

That's right.

We believe we can understand.

Emily wants to come back to me.

What is your answer?

I agreed with her.

What?

You got dumped by her 2 times.

Last time she cheated on you with a rich man.

You said you could understand me.

You are a fool.

Oh, my bro.

I have just bought a new game.

Do you want to play with me?

Sorry, but I can't play the game with you tonight.

I have an exam tomorrow, so I need to hit the books tonight.

Oh, I have an exam tomorrow too.

We can hit the books after playing the game.

No, Peter, not today.

Maybe next time.

That's boring.

I don't want to play alone.

If you don't hit the books now, you'll surely fail.

You've had enough of time wasting.

Okay. Okay.

I'll hit the books first and then I'll play my game

Mom. Does Dad often stay up late at night?

On days with a lot of work, he often stays up late.

Yesterday at 2 AM, I got up to go to the bathroom and found Dad was still working.

Staying up late is bad for us, isn't it?

Yes.

What should we do for Dad?

You can advise him.

How, Mom??

You can tell he knows the importance of going to bed early.

How important is that?

Good sleep improves our brain performance, mood, and health.

Not getting enough quality sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases.

I don't want Dad to get sick.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

I will pay attention to my health.

So don't stay up late, Dad.

Okay.

Do you promise?

I promise!

The vacation is coming.

Where do you think we will travel together?

I think we should travel somewhere with a lot of sunshine.

We can go to the beach and sunbathe.

That sounds good.

What do you think of that, Max?

That's a good idea.

So which country are we going to travel to?

How about Riviera maya in Mexico?

Ok. I've never been to Mexico either. Let's go there.

Great!

Can my siblings come with us?

Sure.

The more the merrier.

Who do your siblings include?

My older sister Linda,

and my younger brother, William.

That would be fun.

We should plan our trip right now.

Yesterday I heard Susan and her boyfriend arguing.

Really? I didn't know they argued.

They've been dating since high school.

But this was the first time I heard them arguing.

What did they argue about?

I just saw them arguing, then she calmed down.

She spoke softly and comforted him.

Should we ask her?

Or let her share with us first?

I don't think we should ask.

Let her share with us first.

Hi, girls.

Hey. How are you?

Daniel and I broke up yesterday.

Why?

We couldn't make each other happy or better.

I don't know.

But I can't keep going.

I know you put a lot of thought into making this decision.

Everything will be fine.

Hey Alex. How are you?

I'm fine.

How are your studies going?

So so. How are your studies going in Spain?

Everything is great.

Have you had any difficulties at school?

I learned that Spanish is quite difficult.

Yeah. But now I can communicate with native speakers.

Really? It was only a month.

Amazing, Alex!

Do you remember Alex?

Yes, of course.

He is studying at university in Spain.

Right.

You went to Spain last month.

How is he?

Now he can speak Spanish with native speakers.

It was only a month.

Yeah.

He is quite good at learning new languages.

No doubt.

Why are you sighing like that?

My boyfriend is so messy

and he never cleans his own mess.

Never?

Yes. I always remind him and complain to him about it all the time.

I hate doing it because it makes me look like his mom.

If you can't accept it, let's have a serious talk with him.

You're right.

Max! I have something to tell you.

Will you talk about how messy I am?

That's right.

I washed all my socks, washed our clothes, and washed dishes.

Really?

My mom said she broke up with her ex-boyfriend because he was so messy.

I'm afraid that such things will happen to me.

I don't want to lose you.

You're so cute.

Yesterday, I heard my cousin say this phrase while on the phone with his friend.

Which phrase?

Hit the Jackpot.

What does that mean?

It means you hit a guy named Jackpot.

Really?

No. He is teasing you.

Hey!

Hit the jackpot means achieving great success, or suddenly getting or winning a lot of money.

You could say "Lady Gaga hit the jackpot with her first two albums."

or "JK Rowling hit the jackpot with her Harry Potter series."

Oh. I see. Thanks, Olivia.

O-M-G, I hit the jackpot.

Really?

Here, look!

I don't see anything.

I'm just kidding. I didn't hit the Jackpot.

You're always not serious and always joking.

Because life is boring.

I'm making it fun.

Not fun at all!

Now it's the reporting date.

We promised each other not to shop too much and save money last month.

Remember?

I broke our promise.

I can't live without shopping.

How much did you spend on your last shopping spree?

$3,000.

Oh, my God.

What did you buy?

Please don't ask.

How about you, Stella?

I broke our promise too.

Seriously?

But I spend less money on shopping than Anna.

It was $2,000.

How about you, Julia?

You must have saved a lot of money.

I spent on my last shopping spree $3500.

What?

I thought you two would be a good example for me to follow.

Sofia, wake up.

Mom! Dad!

How long have you been napping?

1 hour. I guess.

You forgot to close the door, didn't you?

The door?

Oh my god. I completely forgot.

After taking out the trash, I felt extremely sleepy.

Oh, you left the door open?

I guess so.

Did you hear it?

Yes. There's something in the kitchen.

Is it because I forgot to close the door, and the thief broke in?

Oh...

A cat!

You're so cute.

Can we adopt this cat, Mom?

Okay, If this cat doesn't have an owner.

We should ask the neighbors if they have lost any cats first.

Okay, Dad,

I think I will find a part-time job.

You already have a part-time job.

I plan to take an extra course, so I need more money.

My brother has opened a club and it looks like he needs help too.

I'll contact him and let you know.

Thank you, Matthew.

But you should pay attention to your health.

Don't try too hard.

I will.

Ahhh....

Hey. Are you okay?

I have a stomach ache, and I feel dizzy.

Mom!

How do you feel?

I feel better.

The doctor said that you work and study too hard.

That is the cause of your stomach ache and fainting.

Oh, my God.

You must take good care of your health.

I'm sorry to worry you.

I booked a table at a restaurant.

After work, I will come home and we can go to the restaurant together.

That's so sweet.

But today is not our anniversary day at all.

I know.

I was so busy these days that I can't spend much time with you.

So I want to do something for you.

Thank you, honey. See you tonight.

Love you.

Come in.

These are the documents you will need for today's meeting.

Meeting?

Yes. You have scheduled a meeting today with the marketing team.

Oh, no, I forgot.

I'm in a pickle.

What should I do?

Should I cancel today's meeting or change the date with my wife?
