M: Good morning, Jane. W: Good morning, Mr. Smith. M: Thanks for volunteering to work at our senior citizen’s center again. W: I’m happy to help. And I brought some snacks for the elderly. M: How considerate of you! Last time you donated some books. Everyone really enjoyed reading them. W: It was my pleasure. So, what am I supposed to do today? Should I prepare lunch like I did before? M: There are some other volunteers today, and they’ll do that work. W: Good. Then what would you like me to do? M: Well, you could do the dishes or clean the laundry room. W: I’m good at washing dishes. So I’ll do that. M: Great. We’ll have someone else clean the laundry room.
01 [Telephone rings.] M: Hello. Viva Airlines. W: Hi, I think I made a mistake while booking online. M: I’m sorry to hear that. Can you tell me what the problem was in more detail? W: Sure. I just checked the confirmation email and noticed that my name is spelled wrong. M: Okay. Your name needs to be the same as the one in your passport. W: That’s what I thought. I accidentally misspelled my name, J-U-L-E instead of J-U-L-I-E. M: Don’t worry. We can help you correct it. W: Thanks. I’m so relieved. Then what should I do? M: May I have your name and booking number? W: Yeah. I’m Julie Rosa and the booking number is 356790. M: [Typing sound] Okay. Then, please send an email with a copy of your passport to our airline email address. W: All right, I’ll do it right now.
02 M: Good afternoon, Ms. Taylor. W: Oh, Brian? Come on in. What’s up? M: I have something to tell you about our school band. W: What is it? M: As you know, the local high school band contest is coming up. W: Yes, it’s just two weeks away. M: And the problem is that we don’t have a room to practice in around our campus. W: Where are you practicing now? M: We’re renting a music studio on the west side of town. It’s far from here and really inconvenient. W: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure that’s been costing you a lot of money. M: Yeah. So would you try to find a room on campus where we can practice? W: Sure. I’ll ask around and let you know. M: All right. Thank you so much.
03 M: Naomi, it’s Saturday. Are you going out today? W: Oh, Dad. Probably not. I was just planning to stay home today. M: Oh. Are you free then? W: Not really. I have to work on my science project. It’s due on Monday. M: How long do you think you’ll need to work on it? W: Probably the whole day. I need to collect some materials and write the report. M: I see. I was hoping we could play table tennis together. W: I’d love to, but I don’t think I can play today because my racket needs new rubber on it, too. M: Really? Then I’ll take it to the shop and have it repaired for you today. W: Thank you, Dad. I’ll try to finish my report today so we can definitely play tomorrow. M: Great. W: I’m looking forward to it. 남: Naomi, 토요일이야. 오늘 외출할 거니?
04 M: Honey, why don’t we clean up the house today? W: Good idea. We’ve put it off for too long. M: Where should we start? W: Let’s start by taking out our fall clothes and putting our summer clothes in storage. M: Good idea. W: We should organize the bookshelf in the living room, too. M: Oh, that’s right. Let’s do that first. It’s filled with books we’ll probably never read again. W: Especially the children’s books. M: Then could you pick out old books we don’t need any more? I’ll go get a box for the books. W: Okay. I think it’d be nice to donate them to the library. M: Sounds like a great idea. They’ll appreciate them.
05 W: Honey, is there anything you want to do this weekend? M: No. I feel like just resting at home. W: Yeah, you must be really tired from working on your big project at work these days. M: Indeed. I’m so glad it’s over. W: Then how about I take the kids on a hike this weekend? You’ll be able to get a nice comfortable rest at home. M: Thanks, honey, but will you be okay to take the kids by yourself? You’re tired from work, too. W: No problem. I’ll be happy to do that. M: Okay. Thanks. Oh, Saturday won’t work, though. The kids have a dentist appointment. W: Oh, yeah. I forgot. Then I’ll take them to the dentist on Saturday. M: That would be great. Thanks. W: What time is the appointment? M: Just a minute. I’ll look it up in my scheduler and give you all the information. W: Okay.
06 W: Harry, have you heard there’s a snowman contest being held in Central Square next month? M: Of course! I’m actually on the organization committee! W: Oh, really? I didn’t know that. M: Yeah. The community center where I volunteer asked if I’d be on the committee, so I said okay. W: That’s cool. There must be a lot of work to do. M: You can say that again. So far we’ve made a promotional video and uploaded it to the website, and we’ve also put up posters around town. W: Yeah, I saw one at the library. I’m planning on entering the contest. M: That’s great news! We’re trying to get more people to sign up. W: I’ll ask my brother to join the contest for sure. M: That’ll be great. You’re both creative. I can’t wait to see the snowmen you’ll make! W: We’ll do our best! But do you know any website that could help us think of some snowman ideas? It’d help to just see some ideas. M: Well, I found some useful sites while organizing the contest. I can send them to you. W: That’d be great. Thanks a lot.
