Hello, Teen Community Centre. May I help you ?

Yes please. I’m calling about your after school programs listed on the internet.

How old are you, and which program are you interested in ?

I’m 16 years old and I want to join Super Hip Hop.

OK. We still have some openings.

Great. I am also looking for a program for my sister. She’s 10 and she is really into reading.

Sorry, we don’t have anything for her now. But we plan to offer a new reading program for younger kids next month.

OK. Thank you.

What are you doing this weekend, Katie?
My family is planning to go to Jejudo if my mom gets better. We want to go up Mount Halla.
Wow that sounds like fun.
What about you, Jinsu?
My parents are really into temples. If the weather is nice, we’re planning on visiting Hae-in-sa again.
Isn’t that the temple in Hap-cheon?
Yes. We went there last year and it was great. Why don’t you visit the temple this summer?
Sure, if I have time.

One

What club are you planning to join?
If there’s a school band, I’m planning to join it.

Two

I need a hobby.
Why don’t you try tennis? If you have enough time, I’ll teach you how to play.

Three

Do you have any hobbies?
Yes. I like playing with dog. If the weather is nice, I plan on taking her for a walk today.

Hi Paul, what are you doing?

I’m practising my moves for the school dance contest.

Oh . You’re really into dancing.

Yes. I love dancing. It’s exciting.

That’s great.

What about you? What do you enjoy doing, Jina?

Well, I sometimes play badminton with my friends after school.

That’s a great hobby. We have a badminton team that meets after school. Why don’t you join?

I think I’ll do that.

I like to play soccer.

Two

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

What are you interested in?

I’m really into the outdoors. I like hiking very much.

You look worried. What’s the problem, Minju?

Well, I have to give a three minute speech in front of the class next week.

Why is that a problem?

I get so nervous when I talk in front of people. What should I do, Brian?

Why don’t you make some notes?

Notes?

Yes. You can look at them when you give the speech.

Is it OK?

Sure. All the good speakers do that.

Then I might try that too, thanks.

Hi, Junho. How are things?
Pretty good, but i'm hungry.
Do you know there’s a new sandwich shop around the corner?
No, is it good, Laura?
Yes. It’s clean and the service is good.
How about the food? What do they have?
Their sandwiches are very tasty. Try the curry chicken sandwich, it’s the best.
What are we waiting for? Let’s go!

Did you hear about Alex?
No. What about him?
Well, his family is moving back to England.
Really? do you know when they’re moving?
I have no idea.
Why don’t we call him and ask?
Yes, let’s do that. We should get him a gift too.
That’s a good idea.
