911, what's your emergency? There's been a crash! Two cars collided at high speed. It looks furious! Can you provide the exact location of the accident, sir? I'm at the intersection of 5th and Main. There are people injured. Please send help quickly! Help is on the way, sir. Are you at a safe distance from the accident? Yes, I've stepped back. But there's a woman here screaming. She might be in shock. Try to comfort her if you can, sir. Do not move anyone injured unless there is an immediate risk. Understood. Oh no, there's smoke coming from one

of the cars. What should I do? Do not approach the vehicle if there's smoke. Is everyone out of the car? I can't tell. Wait, I'm going to check. Stay on the line with me, sir. but remember your own safety is priority. Can you see anyone inside the car? There's someone moving in the driver's seat. I think they're trying to get out! Tell them help is close. Keep a safe distance. The fire department and paramedics are on their way. I will. Please hurry, it's really bad here. Oh! I hear sirens, they must be close! They are,

sir. Keep speaking to the injured if you can, reassure them. Stay on the line until they've arrived. The ambulance is here and the firefighters too. They're taking over now. Thank you for your help! You did great, sir. Thank you for your quick action. We'll take it from here. Be safe. Excuse me, the air conditioning above my seat isn't working. It's quite stuffy here and is making me feel a bit unwell. I'm sorry to hear that. I'll take it immediately. Meanwhile, may I offer you a glass of water? That would be helpful, thank you. And I

was also wondering about the vegan meal I requested? I will bring your vegan meal right after sorting out the air conditioning. I sincerely apologize for this oversight. Thank you. Also, could you check if my seat can recline? It seems to be stuck. Of course. I'll take a look. We want to make sure you're comfortable for the remainder of the flight. It's been a rather long day, and these little issues are just the cherry on top. I understand, and we'll do everything we can to improve the rest of your journey with us. Here is your water,

and I'll return shortly with an update on the air conditioning. Derek, could you also provide a blanket? It's a bit chilly with the air conditioning not working. Certainly, I'll bring one for you right away. And I'll also inform the captain about the seat issue. We may be able to offer you an alternative seat if this one is uncomfortable. Thank you for being so attentive. I hope it's not too much trouble. It's no trouble at all. It's our responsibility to ensure your comfort and safety. I'll be right back with your blanket and some updates. Hi, are

you here for the ride to the airport? Yes, that's me. You must be Samantha. Please, have a seat. Do you have any luggage? Just this carry-on, thanks. Oh. It's a bit hot today. Could we turn on the air conditioning? Of course. Let me adjust that for you. Is this temperature comfortable? Much better, thanks. How long will the drive be? With the current traffic, we should get there in about 30 minutes. Is there a specific airline you're using? I'm flying with Horizon Air. And could you please drive a bit slower? I'm not in a rush and

I get carsick easily. I apologize for that. I'll make sure to drive more gently. Do you need anything else to feel comfortable? No, that's all. Thank you for being considerate. You're welcome. If you want, I can also offer you some water or a mint to help with the carsickness. A mint would be great, actually. Thanks a lot. No problem at all. We'll be at the airport before you know it, and you'll have a smooth flight. We're here at the airport. The drop-off area for Horizon Air is just ahead. Perfect timing, Alex. And thanks for the

mint; I'm feeling much better. Glad to hear that. Do you need help with your bag? No, I've got it. How much do I owe you for the ride? The app will take care of the payment, but any tips are always appreciated. Of course, you've been a great help. There, I've added a tip through the app. Thank you so much. Have a fantastic flight. and if you ever need a ride again, just look for Alex on the app. Will do. Take care, Alex! You as well. Goodbye! I need the edited manuscript on my desk by tomorrow

morning. We can't afford any delays. But I only received the manuscript yesterday evening. It's over 300 pages. This deadline seems unrealistic. Unrealistic or not, it's what the client wants. You know how important this account is for us. I understand the account's importance, but quality work requires time. Rushing could lead to mistakes. Do the best you can. Stay late if you have to. We're counting on you, Emily. I'll do what I can, but I'll need support. Can we bring in a freelance editor to help with this? Fine. I'll authorize overtime pay for a freelancer. But this

can't set a precedent. We need to meet our deadlines. Understood. I'll coordinate with the team to ensure the manuscript is ready by tomorrow morning. Good. Remember, this is a high-stakes project. We're all under pressure here. Pull this off, and there might be a bonus in it for you. I appreciate that. I'll update you on the progress first thing in the morning. Good evening! Did you find everything you were looking for today? Hi! Yes, I did, thanks for asking. I'm also looking for some batteries. Oh, batteries are just in the next aisle over. I can quickly

grab them for you. What size do you need? AA batteries, please. Just a 4-pack should be enough. Got it. Here you are. Anything else you need help with? No, that should be everything. Wait, do you have any fresh basil? I forgot to check. Yes, we do. It's actually on sale today. Let me add that to your basket. Perfect, I'll take two bunches then. And I have these coupons I'd like to use today. Sure, let's see what discounts we can apply for you. You're also eligible for our member's discount since you have our store card. Oh,

wonderful, I always forget about that. It does come in handy. Alright, after all the discounts, your total is $47.23. How would you like to pay today? I'll pay by card. Oh, and could I get cash back as well? Certainly. How much would you like? Just $20, please. And could you charge it as credit? I need to get those reward points. No problem, I'll do that for you. And here's the 20. Would you like a bag for the items? Yes, please, a bag would be great. Thank you for all your help, Mike. You're welcome, Sandra. It

has been a pleasure assisting you. Here are your bags and receipt. Have a wonderful evening! Thank you, you too! See you next time. Hello! These flowers are gorgeous. I'm looking for something special. Good afternoon, Elaine. Any particular occasion? It’s my sister’s graduation. I want to surprise her with something bright and cheerful. How about some sunflowers? They symbolize adoration and loyalty, perfect for a graduation. That’s a wonderful idea! Let’s do a mix with some daisies too. I can add some greenery and baby’s breath for a touch of elegance. What do you think? Perfect! And can you

wrap them in pink? It's her favorite color. Of course. Give me a moment to prepare the bouquet. Would you like a card to go with it? Yes, please. Just write, ‘To the best sister in the world, congratulations on your big day!’ Will do. And I'll use our special pen for that extra special touch. You’re amazing, thank you! How much do I owe you? For you, a regular customer, let’s call it an even $50 with the card included. That's very kind of you. Here's my card. Can’t wait to see her face! She's going to love it.

Here’s your receipt, and the bouquet will be ready in just a few minutes. I'll browse a bit more then. Thanks again, Bob. Take your time. Let me know if anything else catches your eye! I'm thinking our next campaign should really push the envelope grab attention but still feel authentic. I agree, Evan. What if we go for a series of short, impactful stories that people can relate to? Love that. User-generated content mixed with our narrative could be powerful. Maybe a hashtag challenge? Yes, and we could feature the best stories on our main page. Give them the

spotlight. That's it. Let's brainstorm some hashtag ideas. Something catchy and broad enough to invite various stories. Perfect. #LifeInaSnap it is. We'll need some prompts to get people started. Ideas? Maybe we ask them to share a turning point in their life or a moment they felt truly happy. Yes, and let's not forget about visual impact. We need vibrant images and a consistent style. I'll draft some visual guidelines. What about the launch? A live event could give us a boost. Brilliant. We'll start with a live Q&A, introduce the campaign, and share some examples. Got it. I'm on

it. This is going to be great, Evan! And Riley, your fresh perspective is exactly what this campaign needed. Thanks, Evan. Let's make #LifeInaSnap trend! How is everything going? We're all really anxious. I understand your concern. The surgeons are some of the best, and your husband is in good hands. We're doing everything we can for him. Thank you, that does help a little. It's the not knowing that's the hardest part. Completely understandable. Are you comfortable here? We can bring more chairs if your family needs them. We're okay for now, thank you. How long has he been

in surgery? It's been about 2 hours. These procedures can take time, so it's important to be patient. But I assure you, if there's any news, we'll tell you immediately. Yes, I'm trying. It's just... when I see the kids worrying too, it makes it harder. Would you like me to talk to them? Sometimes hearing information from a staff member can reassure younger ones. That would be wonderful. They have a lot of questions I'm not sure how to answer. I'll be right with them. And for you, we have a quiet room where you can have some privacy

if you need to step away for a moment. You're also thoughtful. Thank you for the care you're giving not just to him, but to all of us. It's our job to care for our patients and their families. You're not alone in this. Now, let's see if we can answer some of those questions for the kids, shall we? Yes, let's do that. And afterward, I might take you up on the offer for that quiet room. Whenever you're ready, just let me know. We're here for you. It's a relief to have someone so kind during such a

tough time. I'm going to speak with the children now. I'll be back to check on you shortly. Alright, let's start with some warm-up exercises. Remember, control your breathing. I always get nervous at this part, Ms. Harper. What if I can't hit the high notes? Ella, It's normal to be nervous, but trust your voice. Let's go through the scales, step by step. I've been practicing the song you assigned last week. Can I try singing it for you? Of course, I'd love to hear your progress. Whenever you're ready. Stop there, Ella. That was beautiful. Your voice has

a unique quality, but you're holding back. Release your emotions into the song. I'm just afraid of making a mistake or cracking on stage. Every singer faces that fear. But the true artist knows how to embrace imperfection and connect with the audience. How do I overcome that fear? Perform with your heart, not just your voice. Let's try the song again, and this time, picture the emotion you want to convey. Okay, I'll give it my all. That's it! Did you feel the difference? I did! It felt like the song was a part of me. That's the spirit.

With that passion, you'll shine on stage. Let's continue practicing. I've checked your wiring, and it seems like your circuit breaker needs to be replaced. It's pretty old and worn out. Oh no, that sounds serious. Is it dangerous? We've been hearing strange buzzing noises. It can be dangerous if not dealt with. That buzzing sound is a telltale sign. Good thing you called me in when you did. What's the worst that could happen with a faulty breaker like that? Well, in the worst-case scenario, it could lead to a fire. It's not something to take lightly. Fire? Oh

my, we need to fix this immediately. How soon can you replace it? I can have a new circuit breaker installed by tomorrow morning. I'll make sure everything is up to code and safe. Please do, and could you check the rest of the house? Just to be safe. Absolutely, I'll do a thorough inspection. Safety is my top priority. Thank you, Mike. I'm so relieved we caught this early. You're welcome. It's what I'm here for. I'll get started on this right away. Is there anything we should do in the meantime? Just avoid using any high powered appliances

until I get this fixed, and you'll be fine. I think our chair design is on the right track, don't you? Definitely, but we need to ensure it’s not just about looks. Of course, comfort is key. Maybe we should include adjustable lumbar support. Yes, and perhaps a way to tilt and lock the backrest at different angles? What about using memory foam for the seat? It molds to the person's shape. That's a premium touch. We should also consider eco-friendly packaging. I agree. And a portion of sales could go to environmental charities, too. Marketing would love that. Buy

a chair, save a tree'—it's catchy. Let's not forget accessibility. We should make it easy to assemble. Right, no one likes to fiddle with too many parts. Simple is better. How about a range of colors? Not everyone wants a black chair. True. Let's offer some customization. People enjoy personalizing their spaces. We could also have a matching footrest as an additional option. Great idea. It's all about providing a complete comfort experience. I'll sketch some prototypes. Can you research sustainable materials? On it. Let's make our chairs something people feel good about buying. Exactly. It’s not just a chair,

it's a statement of their values. I'll reach out to some suppliers today. Let's make this happen. Really nice to see you Casey! Thanks for agreeing to collaborate on this campaign. Are you ready to shake the Internet? Absolutely! I've got some fresh ideas that will get our followers talking. Cool. I was thinking about a series on sustainable living. It's such a hot topic right now. I love it. We could start with a challenge, like a week without plastic. What do you think? That's gold! And we can document our journey, share tips, and show the rough parts

too. Yeah, keeping it real is what people love about us. No fake glam, just the real deal. Exactly! And for the kick-off, how about a live Q&A session with our followers? Perfect. Let's get the word out and set a date. It's going to be epic. I'll draft the campaign proposal. We'll need catchy hashtags and some solid visuals On it. I'll start sketching some designs and setting up the storyboard. Thanks, Casey. This is why I love teaming up with you. Creativity flows. It's going to be a blast. Let's inspire and make a change! Agreed. We'll catch

up tomorrow to finalize the details. Honestly, I was just enjoying my salad when suddenly, crunch! I think they chipped the tooth. It's so embarrassing, I have a major client meeting next week. These accidents happen, Emily. But let's take a look and see the extent of the damage I'm worried it's going to look noticeable. We could do a composite bonding for a quick fix, or a veneer for a more lasting solution. If the tooth is badly damaged, a crown might be necessary. I just hope it doesn't hurt. I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes

to dental pain. We'll make sure you're as comfortable as possible. First, let's do some X-rays to assess the situation. Then we can discuss your best options. Okay, let's do that. I trust you, Dr. Fisher. You've always taken good care of my teeth. Appreciate your trust, Emily. Let's get you in for those X-rays, and we'll take it from there. Thank you, Dr. Fisher. I just hope it's nothing serious. Don't worry. We'll handle it. I've seen worse cases, and they've all turned out just fine. You're in good hands. That's comforting to hear. Okay, I'm ready for the

X-ray now. Alright, after the X-rays, we'll sit down, go over the images, and talk about what comes next. Let's aim to have you smiling confidently at that client meeting. Sounds like a plan. Lead the way, Doctor. Just follow me, Emily. We'll have that tooth fixed up in no time. Thank you so much. You're a lifesaver, Dr. Fisher. Just doing my job. Let's take care of that smile. Hello, I've got a reservation under the name Anderson for tonight. Good evening, Mrs. Anderson. Welcome to Grandiose Escapes. Let me pull up your booking. One moment, please. Sure, take

your time. Oh, and could I request a late checkout for tomorrow? I've found your reservation. As for a late checkout, I can extend it until 2 PM. Would that be all right? That's perfect, thank you. Also, the booking mentioned a complimentary breakfast. What time does that start? Breakfast is served from 6 AM to 10 AM in the dining hall on the ground floor. Great! And one more thing, the room—does it have a view of the ocean? Let me check... Oh, it seems like your room does not have an ocean view. However, I can upgrade you

at no extra charge. Would you like that? That would be wonderful. Thank you so much for your help. It's my pleasure, Ms. Anderson. Here's your key card. If there's anything else you need, do not hesitate to call the front desk. I'll keep that in mind. Have a good evening! You as well, Ms. Anderson. Enjoy your stay! Tyler, you have to be aware of how discussions come and go. Stay calm, no matter what. I get that, Mr. Harrison, but how do I know when to push and when to yield? It's like a chess game. You need

to think several moves ahead and anticipate the other side's strategy. Right, I have to be strategic. And if they seem disinterested? That's when you present the value proposition. Make them see what's in it for them. Okay, value proposition. Got it. And regarding our initial offer, should we go high? Always. But not unrealistically high. It's a starting point for dialogue, not a final offer. Makes sense. This is a lot to take in, Mr. Harrison. I appreciate the guidance. You're welcome. Remember, business is about building relationships as much as it's about the numbers. I'll remember that. Thanks

for taking the time to explain all this. Of course. Let's win this deal. Now, go prepare, and we'll review the contract terms once more before the meeting. Will do. See you in an hour, Mr. Harrison. See you, Tyler. And, call me George. We're a team now. Haizz. What bad luck! What's up? Emily? Why are you so late today? Don't get me started. I took the wrong train to work this morning. Oh, no. That sounds stressful. How did it happen? Well, I usually take the blue line, but today I got distracted and ended up boarding the

red line instead. That must have been confusing. Did you realize it right away? Yeah, as soon as the train started moving in the wrong direction, I knew something was off. At least you caught it early. What did you do next? I panicked for a moment. But then I got off at the next stop and figured out how to get back on track. Good for you! It’s important to stay calm in those situations. Right, it was definitely a lesson learned. Well, they do say that mistakes are just opportunities to learn and grow. Exactly. I will definitely

double check the train before boarding from now on. That sounds like a plan. And hey, at least you have an interesting story to tell now! Yeah, I guess so. Thanks for listening, Tom. Any time, Emily. We all make mistakes. It’s how we handle them that matters. Thanks, Tom. I feel better already. No problem. Now, let's focus on having a great day at work. Absolutely! Let’s make the best of it. Hey, guess what? What? Today, I finally decided to check out that new restaurant everyone's been talking about. Oh, really? Which one is that? It’s called "The

Flavor Spot". They say it has the best burgers in town. Sounds delicious. How was it? It was amazing! The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was very friendly. That sounds like a great experience. What about the food? Oh, the food was incredible. I ordered their classic cheeseburger with fries, and it was perfect. Yum! What made it so special? The burger was juicy and the cheese was melted just right. And the fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Wow, sounds like they know what they’re doing in the kitchen. Absolutely. I also tried

their milkshake. And it was the cherry on top of the whole meal. Wow, That piques my curiosity. I can't wait to try it myself. Was it crowded? Surprisingly, no. I guess I got lucky with the timing. That's great. It's always nice to enjoy a good meal without having to wait too long. Definitely. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I will definitely be going back. Thanks for sharing, Sarah. Now I’m craving burgers! Hahaha. Sorry about that, but trust me. It's worth it. Oh, no. I can't believe this is happening. What’s going on, Lisa? Your voice is

shaking. I got locked out while I was babysitting. The door slammed shut behind me, and I stupidly left the keys inside. That sounds like a nightmare. How are you going to get back in? I tried calling the parents, but they're both at work and not answering their phones. What should I do? Have you tried asking any neighbors for help? I did, but no one seemed to be home. It's like the whole world is against me right now. Hang in there, Lisa. There has to be a solution. I don't know how much longer I can handle

this. What if something happens to the kids while I'm stuck out here? Stay calm, Lisa. We will figure this out together. Maybe there's a spare key hidden somewhere. Do you think so? I didn't even think to check. Let me look around. We will find a way back inside, I promise. Thank you. Mike. I don't know what I would do without you here. Don't mention it, Lisa. Let's check around the house. Under the welcome mat and the flower pots. Anywhere they might hide a spare key. Right. We need to find it fast. I can’t shake this

feeling of dread. Stay focused. Lisa. We will find it. Keep looking. Wait. I think I found something under this rock. Yes. Oh, here it is. The spare key. That’s a lifesaver! Now let’s get you back inside. Finally! I can’t thank you enough for helping me through this, Mike. It's all part of being a good friend, Lisa. I'm just glad everything turned out okay. Hey, are you okay out there? Yeah. I'm fine. Just caught in this sudden downpour without an umbrella. That's rough. Yeah, Take mine. We can share it. Oh, I couldn't possibly. Please, I insist.

It's better than both of us getting soaked. Thank you so much! You’re a lifesaver. No problem at all. It's the least I can do. You're really kind to do this. It's nothing. Just trying to help out a fellow human in need. Well, I really appreciate it. It's nice to know there are still good people out there. Definitely. We're all trying to make it through the storm together. Yeah, you are right. Thanks again for sharing your umbrella with me. Anytime. So where are you headed to? I was just on my way to the bus stop. I

need to catch the bus home. Oh, I see. I'm heading in the opposite direction, but I can walk with you until we reach the bus stop. That would be great. Thank you. So, do you live far from here? Not too far, just a few stops on the bus. What about you? I live a bit further out, but I don't mind the walk. Well, here we are. The bus stop. Thanks for walking with me. I really appreciate it. No problem at all. It was nice chatting with you. Take care and stay dry. You too. Thanks again

for your kindness. Oh, no. What have I done? What’s wrong, Lily? You seem upset. I tried cutting my own hair, and now it's a disaster. You cut your own hair. Why would you do that? I thought I could save some money and try something new, but it turned out horrible. Well, maybe it's not as bad as you think. Let me see. Okay, but don't laugh. Hmm… Haha... It’s a bit uneven, but it’s not that bad. We can fix it. Really? You think so? Yeah. We can trim it up a bit and make it look better.

Thank you. Tom. I don't know what I would do without you. No problem, Lily. Don’t worry, we will get it sorted out. And, hey, it will grow back eventually. I hope so. Now, let's fix that hair of yours. You know, I thought I could channel my inner hairstylist, but turns out, I should stick to my day job. Well, you never know, Lily. Maybe this is the beginning of your career as a hairdressing sensation. Oh yeah, I can see it now – Lily's Crooked Cuts, the salon where every haircut is an adventure! Hey, it would definitely

be memorable. Yeah, memorable in all the wrong ways. There, all done. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Wow. You actually managed to salvage it. Thanks, Tom. You're a lifesaver. Just remember, next time you get the urge to pick up the scissors, give me a call first. Deal. I will leave the hairdressing to the professionals from now on. Hey, are you okay? You seem a bit worried. I just can't find my phone anywhere. I think I've lost it. When did you last have it? I had it in the taxi. I think I lost my

phone in a taxi. Have you tried calling it? Yeah, I've been calling it nonstop. But it's either turned off or the battery died. Did you happen to take note of the taxi company or driver's details? I didn't, unfortunately. I was just worried I'd be late for work that I completely forgot. Well, don't lose hope just yet. Maybe it will turn up at the taxi company's lost and found. I hope so. It had all my important contacts and photos on it. Hey, why don't we call again? Try your luck. Let's try! Hello. Oh, hi. I believe

you're friends or family of the girl who lost her phone in my taxi. Yes, yes. She is next to me. She is so worried about her phone. Oh my God. It's me. I can't believe it's still there with you. Thank you very much. Not at all. I noticed that lying on the seat. You're a lifesaver. How can I come to get it from you? Could you let me know where you are now? I'll swing by and return your phone. I'll send you the exact address. Okay, I'll be there. Thank you again. You've saved me so

much stress. Just happy to help. See you in a bit. See you soon. Wow. That's incredible luck. Thank goodness for honest people like that taxi driver. Guys, you won't believe what happened. What happened? I found a love note in a used book I bought yesterday. No way. That sounds like the beginning of a romantic novel. What did it say? It was so poetic. It talked about everlasting love, overcoming obstacles, and meeting under the stars. I couldn't stop myself from feeling a little emotional when I read it. That's amazing. Do you think it was meant for

someone, or just a piece of writing someone left behind? I'm not sure. Part of me wants to believe it was meant for someone special. And the other part wonders if it was just someone expressing their feelings through writing. Either way. It's really interesting to find something like that by accident. It's like getting a glimpse into someone else's life. even if it's just through a few words on a piece of paper. Exactly. It made me realize how many stories are out there waiting to be discovered, even in the most unexpected places. Well, if you ever decide

to write back, let us know. We'd love to hear how it turns out. Sure, guys. Who knows. Maybe this could be the start of my own love story. Oh my gosh, are you all right? You're soaked! Oh, Mom. I'm fine, just a little embarrassed. What happened? I fell into a pond while feeding ducks. That's hilarious. I was feeding the ducks by the pond, and next thing I knew, I slipped and fell right in. Did the ducks help you out? Nope. They just looked at me like. What are you doing? I think they were more surprised

than I was. Well, at least you're okay. Falling into a pond can be dangerous. Yeah, I'm lucky I didn't hurt myself. But let me tell you that water was cool. Then anyone see you fall? Unfortunately, yes. There was this couple walking by and they couldn't stop laughing. I must have looked ridiculous. I wish I could have seen that. But hey, it's a funny story to tell now. Oh for sure. I'll never forget the day I became one with the ducks. Oh. Oh, my son. Well, next time, maybe watch your step a bit more carefully. Definitely,

mom. I just hope the ducks didn't think you were trying to join their club. You know, now that I think about it, falling into a pond while feeding ducks sounds like something out of a comedy movie. True, true. The ducks got a front row seat to the show. Hey, babe. I'm back from the party. Oh, how was it? You won't believe what I'm about to tell you. You sound a bit off. What happened? Well, it was different. I'm listening. I thought it was a costume party, but it wasn't. You know. Yeah. I wore this Spider-Man

suit and went to this party with everyone dressed formally. Suits and dresses. Oh, no, you didn't. Yeah, I did. But, um, turns out it wasn’t a costume party. Oh my god, bae! What did you do? I panicked, honestly. I just couldn't take off the mask, so I kept it on. Wait, you wore the Spider-Man suit the whole time? Yeah. Pretty much. I found a quiet spot and just stayed there, hoping no one would notice. That's hilarious. But also kind of adorable. Yeah. Lucky for me, no one else saw me, at least. I don't think they

did. I tried to escape from there as quickly as possible. Well, that's a relief. But seriously. Next time, let's double check if it's a costume party before you go all out superhero. Definitely. Lesson learned. So, how was your night? Oh, nothing as eventful as yours, that's for sure. But now I can’t stop picturing you as Spider-Man at a formal party. Yeah, it’s a mental image I won't be forgetting anytime soon. Julie, you won't believe what happened. Tell me what happened. I called in sick because I really needed a mental health day, you know? I know

that... so? Then, guess who I bumped into at the mall? Who? My boss! Oh my gosh. Yeah. Can you believe it? I was just strolling around, minding my own business When suddenly I see her coming towards me with a surprised expression on her face. Oh, no. That must have been awkward. You have no idea. I panicked at first, thinking she'd ask me why I wasn't at work, but thankfully she didn't. Oh really? Bella, what a surprise. I didn't expect to see you here at the mall. Oh, hi there, Miss Johnson. Fancy meeting you here. How

are you feeling now? You sounded pretty under the weather on the phone. Oh, you know, just a little bug that I needed to shake off. I hope you're taking care of yourself. We can't have our star employee getting sick. Don't worry. I'll be fine. So what brings you to the mall today? Just doing a bit of shopping. Sounds nice. Well, I won't keep you. I should probably get going myself. All right, Bella, take care of yourself, okay? Thanks, Miss Johnson. I'll do that. Have a good day. I called in sick then ran into my boss

at the mall. Did you feel guilty, lying to her like that? Yeah, a little, but I really needed that break, you know, I see. No more calling in sick unless I'm actually dying. Oh, I am in such a mess right now. What's wrong with her? She sent a text about her boss to her boss. Yeah. I accidentally sent a text about my boss to my boss!!! Oh no, Samantha! That sounds like a nightmare. What did you say in the text? Well, I was texting Emily about how frustrating my boss can be sometimes. You know, just

harmless complaining. But instead of sending it to Emily, I send it directly to my boss. Oops, Samantha. What did your boss say? Surprisingly, she hasn't responded yet. I'm afraid of going to work tomorrow. I feel like such an idiot. Maybe she's giving herself some time to cool down before addressing it. But you should definitely prepare yourself for a conversation about it. Yeah, honesty might be the best policy here. Own up to your mistake, apologize, and assure her it won't happen again. You're right. I need to face it and take responsibility for my actions. It was

a stupid mistake, and I need to make it right. Exactly. And who knows? Maybe she'll appreciate your honesty and understand that we all have our moments of frustration. Definitely. Just be sincere and professional about it, and hopefully it'll blow over sooner rather than later. Thanks, guys. I'll do my best to handle it gracefully. But man, what a way to start the week. Guys, you won't believe the party I went to yesterday. It was absolutely insane. What party? A birthday party for my friend's dog. His name is Max. They celebrated their dog's birthday with a huge

party. Oh, man, I wish I could have been there. Tell us all about it. Yeah, spill the details, Sarah! Well, we started off with a dog-friendly cake in the shape of a bone. Max went crazy for it! Did they have any other delicious treats for the dog? Of course! They had a whole buffet of dog treats. Homemade biscuits. Cupcakes. And for the humans, we had a barbecue going on. Wow, they really went all out. How did Max react to all the attention? He was loving it. We had a bunch of his doggy pals over. and

they were running around playing with toys and just having a blast. Max was like the king of the party, getting attention from everyone. Did you have any games or activities planned? Yep! We had a doggy fashion show where they strutted their stuff in cute outfits. And we had a contest for the best trick. Max won obviously. That sounds like so much fun. They'll have to do it again next year. I'll definitely go again. Hey, Adam. What's up? Not much. Just getting ready to head out. What about you? Actually, I'm in a bit of a rush.

Wendy called me in a panic. Panic? What happened? She left her passport on the table, and she was already at the airport. She needs it for her trip. Oh, no, that's not good. She packed everything for the trip except her passport. Yeah, she's flying out for a business conference. She's really stressed about missing her flight. Poor Wendy. Is there anything I can do to help? Actually, if you could keep an eye on things here while I run over to her place and grab the passport. That would be a huge help. Of course, go ahead. I'll

make sure everything's in order here. Thanks, Adam. I'll be back as soon as I can. Peter, you're a lifesaver. I don't know what I would have done without you. Don't mention it, Wendy. Just glad I could help out. Here's your passport. Thank you so much. I owe you big time. No problem at all. Just focus on your trip and everything will be fine. I'll make sure to double check everything next time. Sounds like a plan. Now go catch that flight. Thanks again. Peter. Hey, what are the kids up to in the living room? I'm not

sure. Let me check. Oh, no. They're messing with your phone. Looks like they're trying to fix the screen. Fixing the screen? They better not break it further. Well, they seem determined. They're trying to fix a smartphone screen using online tutorials. I appreciate their initiative, but messing with delicate electronics without proper knowledge can be risky. Agreed. Maybe we should go and talk to them about it. Definitely. Let's see what they're up to. Hey, kiddos. What are you doing with my phone? Hi, mom and dad. We're trying to fix the cracked screen. We found some tutorials online.

That's ambitious. But do you think you two can really handle it? We watched the videos a few times and it didn't seem too hard. Plus, we'll save money by not taking it to a repair shop. It's great that you're trying to be resourceful. But some things are better left to professionals. You could end up causing more damage. Yeah, and safety first. Those tutorials might not cover all the risks involved here. Hmm, maybe you're right. We don't want to make it worse. Okay, we'll stop for now. Sorry for trying to fix it without asking first. No

worries. We appreciate your effort. Next time, just let us know, okay? Exactly. Now let's see if we can find a reputable repair service. Oh, mom. Something awkward happened, though. Oh. What happened? I waved at someone who was waving to the person behind me. That does sound awkward. Yes, mom. I saw someone waving at me, so naturally, I waved back. But then I realized they were actually waving at the person behind me. Oh, no. How did you handle it? I felt so embarrassed, mom. I just awkwardly pretended to fix my hair and walked away quickly. Haha.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. But you know what? It's completely okay. Everyone has moments like these. Really? You don't think people will think I'm silly? Not at all. It's a simple misunderstanding. People forget about these things quickly. I hope so. It shows your friendly nature that you waved back without hesitation. Thanks, mom. I guess you're right. It's not such a big deal after all. Exactly. And remember, it's okay to laugh at yourself sometimes. It's what makes life interesting. Thanks for making me feel better, mom. You always know what to say. Any time.

Sweetheart. Well, just now someone waved at me again. And I thought for sure I had made the same mistake. But guess who it was? It was Elsa, your friend? Oh, yes, yes. Elsa was waving at me. What do you usually do in your free time, Linda? Well... I’m a fan of Hollywood blockbusters, so I’ve been watching them for a few years now. Blockbuster?! That sounds interesting. What about you, Charlie? Uhm... Not special. Just reading some books in the bookstore. Do you like reading books? Yeah. I'm really into reading books. For me, it works as a

tool for relieving stress. What kind of books do you like to read? To be honest, I'm a big fan of Sherlock Home novels. Do you like this book? It's an amazing novel. Yeah, absolutely. A few years ago, I was so engrossed in this book that I couldn't put it down. Hurry up Brian, why are you always the last to get ready? Just give me a second, I'm putting on my walking shoes. Marcus, just can't wait to go outside. Yeah!! I'm ready now Marcus, let's go! Oh no, the snow stopped our path. Maybe we can't go

anymore. Marcus, do you still want to go for a walk? The snow is so thick Marcus, we'll catch a cold if we stay out for too long. Wait a minute, Marcus. Don't drag me like that. Oh haha, he can't wait... I heard that Husky can sleep outside during a snowstorm! Brian, help me stop Marcus! What will you say when you meet her? Try it on me and I'll give you some advice. Uhm... yeah, hello. How are you doing? Do you really say that to her? Uhm... are you hungry? Should we go grab some food? What

are we going to eat today? How about Burger? At McDonald's? Oh, my God, my friend. You take her to McDonald's on the first date?? Why can't I? And you ask if she is hungry? It's not hard to understand why you've been lonely until now. A little 28-year-old boy. No. You're 29 years old now. So what should I do? Be brave, praise her, like this! Look at me! Oh, girl, you look hot today. Too rude. She'll stay away from me. Then go and ask her if she's hungry? I'm done with you, Ben 10. We're going to

click here to write and then click here, that blue button, to send. Oh, I get it. Are you sure it will be delivered to the recipient? Of course, grandma, unless you're sending it to the wrong person. Oh haha... Let me try to send an email. The recipient is Martin. Message will be... And click the send button. Martin, did you get my email? Let me send back an email And click to send. I got it, haha. Sending email is so fun. Ha ha ha. How are you this fine morning. Good day to you, Lucy. Should we

start studying for the upcoming final exam? Yeah. Come in, please. What's on your mind? I've borrowed more books from the library to review, but there are still many difficult exercises. I still can't understand the lesson. If you can help me explain it, that would be great. That's okay. You helped me a lot the other day when I was sick. I have tried a portion of cookies here. I just applied the recipe online so I don't know if it's delicious. Well, the cookies look delicious. Shall I eat them? Help yourself. Lisa, why are you getting your

clothes ready? This weekend, my family will go to the beach... and we go on vacation every year for about a week. Oh, that's great. It seems you're on cloud nine. Absolutely! My dad is usually busy with work, but this time he arranged a time to take the family on a trip. Sounds good. This helps family members spend time together, strengthening relationships. What about you? Where will you go this summer vacation? I want to go to Disneyland with my family. My father promised to take me. There's a reward for earning a scholarship to study abroad last

week. Great, have a nice summer break. See you next time! Monin' mi Amiga! Morning, Mina! You're beautiful this morning! Yeah, I was thinking of going to a picnic on the weekend. Would you like to come? That is a good idea. Whom do we go with? Just with my boyfriend and some friends. Would you mind coming with us? Not at all. Where are we going? Actually, We intend to move to Charming Tallinn city. That's amazing. Are we going to take a plane or train? Well, I think we had better take a plane as it is more

convenient than a train. There is no doubt about it. Wakey wakey, Maria! let me sleep a little more, please. Mom. Hurry up or you will be late. What time is it, mom? For heaven's sake! I'm running out of time. Mom, my clock didn't go off. I think I need a new one. It seems your clock has run out of battery. You just need to buy a new battery on the way. Have you seen my jeans anywhere? It's in the bathroom. It's hanging behind the door. Here they are. Thanks, Mom. You're the love of my life.

Come on! Hurry up and have breakfast! I'm warming it up in the microwave. Don't forget to take your medicine before eating! Don't worry, mom! Have a good day, mom! See you later! Did you take your medicine? Yes. Bye, Mom. Good morning. Good morning, what do you need? I want to choose to buy a birthday present for my mother. Great, how can I help you? Our shop sells flowers, birthday cards, souvenirs and more. Let's see. My dad bought my mom fresh flowers and a greeting card, so I thought I should choose something else. How about a

C.D.? I have the same intention, but I don't know what kind of music my mother likes. She's good at writing letters, so I thought a pen would be useful. Which color do you choose? The purple and black looks too dark. I think I'll go for the yellow one. This one. Do you think you need gift wrapping paper? Yes. Thanks. Good morning. I'm Ben. I just moved into the house opposite. I'm looking for help. Hi, I'm Kate, nice to meet you. I just moved here, so I'm not familiar with the area. Do you mind guiding me?

Of course not. Don't worry. I'm going to the store this afternoon to buy things. If you want to come along, I can show you the neighborhood. Great, how long have you lived here? I haven't lived here since I was born. I just moved here ten years ago... when I was eight years old. So where did you live before? I used to live in the countryside, but my parents decided to move here... so that I have a better chance to study. I guess we'll go to the same school. Do you want to go to school together

every day? Of course. Lucy, look how beautiful this shirt is! It's beautiful, but it looks too small. What size do you wear? I wear a size 8. Let me see. Yeah, it looks really small. But I still want this shirt. I see they still have the same shirt, but only in black and purple. If you want to choose the same color shirt, there is a round neck long sleeve shirt over there. Let's see. I like this shirt, but it's too dark to choose black or purple. Blue still suits your skin tone best. But the shape

of the shirt doesn't matter much. Winter is coming soon. You should choose a long sleeve shirt. Yeah, you're right. I will choose this shirt. Let's just go pay. Ten. Do you have any plans this summer? I plan to apply for volunteer work as soon as I graduate. Really? So what are you going to do? There are a number of non-profit organizations that need to recruit a large number of volunteers to help orphans learn. I have already written to them by email. Teaching orphans? Have you done this before? No, they don't require a teaching certificate to

join. I signed up just because I want to gain more experience... and learn more communication skills. If you are inexperienced, it will be difficult for you to work. Yes, but I will learn many valuable lessons. Soon there will be a presentation contest at the school club, the contestants are free to express their thoughts, as long as it can convince the judges. Are you interested in this contest? It's an opportunity for us to learn more public speaking skills. Do you want to come with me? It's up to you, it's nothing special to me anyway. I had

to attend extra classes that day, so I couldn't attend. So what? Sorry... I'm afraid to go alone... so I want to invite someone to go with me. You can ask Peter to come along, he's a very active person, maybe he'll enjoy it. All right, let me try it. Luke, there's a new restaurant on the street today. Let's try it out. I can't now, I have to wash my clothes. Can we go in the evening? Do you wash your own clothes? Why don't you use the washing machine for convenience? My washing machine broke down this morning.

Really? It's usually my mom doing the laundry, so I don't pay much attention. I know, but my family has agreed to share the housework. Sharing housework? We often think that housework is a woman's responsibility, but in reality, everyone needs to help each other to reduce the burden of work. You're right, I guess I need to take care of myself from now on. Tomorrow our school has a sports festival, are you participating in the competition? I've heard about it, but I don't like crowded places, so I probably won't go anywhere. Do you know what sport you

play? I used to play basketball at my school's club in middle school, recently I also learned to play table tennis, but it wasn't very good. Then you should register for the festival. It's just an opportunity to have fun after school. Also to help improve social skills. But I'm afraid if I lose, the whole class will be disappointed. No, it's just like a game. If you win, it's good. If you lose, it's okay. Don't worry too much. Then I'll think about joining. Hello, how can I help you? Hello, I read an advertisement for a children's reading

festival in the city library. That's right, it's a recent event with lots of interesting activities. I want to find out more information about it, this weekend I will bring my kids to participate. So, how many children do you have? I have a 13 year old daughter and 7 year old son. Let's see. The reading festival is having a presentation challenge about their favorite book, for children under 15 years old. You can register your child to participate if you want, the prize is also very nice. Sounds great, how do I sign up? Please fill in the

necessary information in the form below. Did your family go to the cinema yesterday for your birthday? Yes. My dad is usually busy with work, but this time he arranged time to take the family out to play. Sound good. This helps family members spend time together, So how did you feel yesterday? For me, it was an unforgettable memory. My family ate at restaurants, watched movies, ate popcorn, and my dad bought me a T-shirt as a birthday present yesterday. I didn't know you had a birthday party, so I didn't have time to prepare gifts, I'm sorry! I'm

sorry! No gift needed, if you want you can come to my house to play anytime. Why are you getting your clothes ready? My family will go to the beach. we go on vacation every year for about a week. Sounds good. There are many souvenirs made from beautiful shells and snails, which my mother often buys as decorations. Mine, too. And you? Where do you want to go this summer Vacation? I want to go to Disneyland with my family. My dad promised to let me go there as a reward for winning a scholarship to study abroad last

week. So I will buy a lot of candy and toys there. If so, when we return, we can share the gifts we bought for each other. Very good idea. Have a nice summer vacation. You too. Oh my, the view here is so beautiful. Why didn't I know about it! Haha, hi, I'm your tour guide, Peter! Hi, Peter, I'm Anna, and this is my friend Jenny. Hi Peter, nice to meet you. This is my first time here, so I'm looking forward to your help. It is my honor, ma'am. What schedule will we have today? Where do

we go and what to eat? We'll get on a bus to go around the city. I will show everyone the most beautiful sunflower field here, We can stop and take pictures. Oh, I love sunflowers. Let me take pictures for you, Anna. Yes, I'm wearing a yellow shirt today, coincidentally. Then if you like, we can go to the city museum! Or we will try a few street dishes here. Yeah, street food, what I am most looking forward to! Yes, let's start, I can't wait to discover this place! Today we will discuss hobbies. Does anyone want to

talk about your preferences? Let me, teacher. Okay. Karina. What is your hobby? I like to read books in my free time. I often read detective novels. Sometimes a comic or science book. One of the authors I love is Phillip Margolin, his works are cool, I own a lot of his works. What a girl with a strong personality. Thanks, Carina. Okay. Who's next? Helen, what is your hobby? Can you share it with everyone? I really like playing sports, all subjects. Whenever I have free time. Oh, you have a very healthy and balanced life. My father is

a swimmer. He inspires me with sports. I respect him very much. What a talented family. Wait a minute. When it turns green, we will be able to cross the road. We're going to go home, yeah. Today we'll have a barbecue. Go home. Go home!! You look forward to it very much, right? Of course. Oh god, my bag... Can somebody help me pick up my oranges, please? Oh, Grandma, let us help you. That bag is so big that it must be very heavy. So let me carry that for you. Oh, thank you very much. Haha, You’re

welcome. Ma'am, your children are very well-behaved. Yes, let these good boys help you bring home these things! Let me do it. You can't carry this bag, it's bigger than you, Little Ken! Where is your house? Go across the street a little bit. Thanking the two young men who agreed to help me. Helping you is our pleasure. Hi Mina, I'm John Gonzales, I'm from the US. We studied in the cooking class. Hi, John. I'm Mina Fujiwara. I'm from Japan. Nice to meet you. This is my friend Ken, he said he really wanted to make friends with

you. Haha, I really like Japanese cuisine so I hope you can make friends with me. I want to learn more about Japan. Oh, Ken, do you want my phone number? Yes, thank you. Your name is Mina... Uhm, Mina, what's your last name? Let me save it on my phone. Fujiwara. Mina Fujiwara. Can you spell it? F-U-J-I-W-A-R-A. Thank you, I hope I can visit beautiful Japan someday. Haha, I will be the guide for you, Japan has a lot of interesting things. I'm sure you will like it. Hey. Where have you been? I've been waiting for you

for 30 minutes. I thought you were lost. How is that possible? I'm sorry. I was in a hurry, so I didn't bring my phone. Where did you go? I just had to go to the university's library to find more materials for my upcoming graduation thesis, And I didn't finish until 6:30. So I'm late. What school did you go to? The University of Greenwich. Really? Next time you come to school, let me go with you. No, the university doesn't let under class in. But maybe I can sneak you in. Did your family go anywhere last weekend?

My family decided to visit my grandparents in Florida. it's been a long time since I went back to my hometown. Do you often go to Florida to visit your grandparents? Sometimes, because my grandparents' house is far away, I can only go back to my hometown twice a month. Fortunately I am currently living with my grandparents, which is convenient to take care of them. Yeah, I also like that very much. My parents often have to work all day. But on the weekend, they let me see my grandparents sometimes. It is also a way to strengthen the

relationship between the members. Good morning, Miss Anna. I'm Peter. Nice to meet you today. Same here. Here is my CV. We have reviewed your application to join our group, And from today, you start work. Thank you. Miss Anna, why do you want to join this group? I heard that you need to recruit teaching assistants for your driver's license class. I want to earn extra income during the time of social distancing. Me too, do you have experience in this? I just took my driving test not long ago. But I don't know very well about teaching assistant

work. It's okay, my working purpose is the same as yours, so after practicing for a while, you will get used to it. So... where did you work before working here? I work as a teaching assistant for a study center for American citizenship. So I have more experience than you. Then I can ask you for help later. Sure. What's wrong, Lucy? You don't look very well. I'm fine. It's just that I've been working a lot of night shifts lately, so I'm a bit tired. How's your job? Not so good. Recently, the manager made me work late

at night. Did he give you a raise? Yes, but not much. And if I make a mistake, my salary will be deducted. I think he treats employees unfairly. You should find another job. But how do I find another job now? I can recommend some new jobs. If you continue to work the way you are, it will be bad for your health. This restaurant is great! Right. The service is also good. I usually eat at this restaurant. How do you know this restaurant? One of my friends suggested it to me, and it's quite near my company.

I love the hotpot here. Yeah, me too. And the price is affordable. Do you think so? True! The dishes are not expensive. It is beyond my expectation. Are you full now? Yes. You can see I ate a lot of beef and chicken. We haven't eaten dessert. We can have ice cream for dessert. Great! This is one of my favorite food! As I remember, they have several ice cream flavors. Let me ask them. I saw you at the cell phone store yesterday. Yeah. What did you do there? Ah, I changed my phone. What? You just bought

a new phone last week, didn't you? But the phone has some screen problems, so I can't use it. Therefore, I asked the store to change my phone. Did they agree to return the product and change it? Right. They have a generous return policy. Wow. It's unusual. And there's one more reason. The store owner and I are close friends, so I'm quite comfortable with returning problems. Ah, I got it. That's good. How's it going? That's pretty good. Everything is for sale now. That's great! After the opening, there was quite good feedback on the fabric of your

products. Yeah, I'm very happy about that. I have designed some new dresses and they are available for sale. Do you want to see them? Sure. I came here to buy clothes today. Right. So check out these new designs here. I will give you one. No, I'm your customer today. I will pay for what I buy. Okay. Your store has jeans, right? Yes. They're on the other side. I will choose another pair of jeans later. Henry, are you studying? Yes, Mom. I'm studying math. Are you serious? I see you're listening to music. It's quite loud, Right,

Mom. But I'm still learning. How can you pay attention while you're listening to music? This is my learning method, Mom. Don't worry. What is it? I can't understand it. I find myself more focused when listening to music. Well, I just want you to focus on your exercises. Mom, I love music and music helps me learn. Okay. It's up to you. Yeah. There is one kind of music named Baroque that helps improve the ability to memorize. It's scientific. I didn't know that. I will try to research it later. Yes. Mom, where did you go? What happened?

You forgot your phone at home and had 5 or 6 phone calls. Who was calling? Ms. Emily. I will call her again. And Mr. Alex asked for you. Mr. Alex? For what? I don't know. He just asked me where you were. Oh, God. I'm actually just heading out. Why is everyone looking for me? I have a lot of things to do. And mom, where is my bag? I can't find it. It's in the living room. You haven't brought it to your room. Ah, right. Rio, go downstairs and sweep the floors. Hannah, please give me a

break. I've just been home from school. No way. You finished your classes at 4 and now it's 5. Today I had to stay at school for a club meeting. I just got home. Really? Of course. Can't you see I'm still wearing my school uniform? Okay, if that's true, I'll sweep the floors for you. That's great! But you'll wash dishes this evening for me. Is it okay? Sure. Washing dishes is much easier. Sweeping the floors takes a lot of time. I hate that. Well, I hate doing household chores. I don't like it either. What is this,

Andrea? Dad, I have just bought a new washing machine. Our old one is too old. Oh, but it's still working well. I know, we still can use it but it's time for changing. That machine has served me well for years. How old is it? Do you remember? I bought it when you were 6. Now I'm 20. It's been 14 years. There is no need to buy such a large and modern washing machine. We are old and we don't know how to use modern machines. Dad, don't worry. It's easy, I'll guide you. Okay. How much does

it cost you? Money is not the problem, Dad. What are you doing here? I am feeding the dog but he hasn't eat anything for 3 days. Oh God! What's wrong with him? I don't know. In the last few days, he was lazy to eat, I thought it was because of the food. Maybe I took him for a walk today but he seemed very tired. It seems like he's sick. Let's take him to the vet. Is there any veterinary clinic near our house? Yeah, there is one at the center. Let me take you there. Yes, I'll

go prepare myself. Be quick, I'm afraid it will close in the evening. Yesterday was such a terrible day. What happened? Yesterday we went shopping and had a lot of fun. Do you know what happened after that? How can I know it? You didn't tell me. Well, actually I dodged a bullet. What do you mean? After we said goodbye, on the way home, it started to rain heavily. That's right. Yesterday I sat on the bus and also saw heavy rain. Yeah, I almost got hit by a container because I couldn't see well. Oh my God! Luckily,

I was just startled and I dodged Awful! At least you're not injured. Traffic is scary. How was your first date? It was pretty good, except for the restaurant. Why? Was it bad? Yeah. I was not satisfied with it. For example? I ordered food at 6:30 but we had no food for the next 50 minutes. Oh my God! Jenny was pretty angry about that. Of course. I then had to speak to the manager and they apologized to us. However, the food is pretty bad. Well, you can't expect much from their poor service. That's right. I'll never

go there again. Are you at home today? That's right. I cooked a big meal for you. Wow. That's such a big surprise! There's nothing much. No way I could sense that something was not okay. What? There's nothing. No. I'm sure that you have something to ask me. or you want something. Is that right? You are truly my sister. Can you buy a new computer for me? It's not expensive. Well, see, I knew it. I really like it and it's also discounted. I will decide after trying your meal. I'm a good cook. I will cook every

day if you buy a new computer for me. We will buy it tomorrow. It's hard to meet Alex these days, isn't it? Yes, he is very busy. I heard he quit his job at his old company. Has he worked at a new company? Yes, but he has a bigger plan. What is that? He's going to build his dream house. Oh, such a big plan! I'm sure he has to spend lots of time doing this. Right. The house seems quite large and costs a lot of money. But I believe he can do it. It's time for

him to turn his dream come true. He's going to get married. That's crazy. It'll be an amazing house for his family. Oh, is it this late? Yeah, it's nearly 10 pm now. How can I come home now? There's no bus at this time. And I think you shouldn't go home alone at night. It's so dangerous. That's right. I'm so scared. I didn't think it was this late. Your house is quite far from here, right? Yes. I usually go to work by bus because it's quite far. What should I do now? You can stay with me

tonight. Really? It's so nice of you to say so. My house is near here, let's go. Thank you so much. You're welcome. I think you should move to live near our company. I'm thinking of that, too. Do you share the bill with your boyfriend? Of course. I always do that. How do you do? Well, we split the money even-steven. That's quite good. I think that couples should split the money equally to avoid problems later. But sometimes you can feast each other. Well, of course, I mean it's generally best to split equally. No one depends on

anyone. I also agree with you. But some people say that the man always pays the bill. That depends, for example, on the first date, men should pay the bill. Yeah, I agree with that. I sent you some messages but you didn't answer me. What happened? Really? When did you send them? This morning. I had a meeting so I haven't checked my phone. Let me see. Yeah. Oh my... I think I left my phone at home. I can't find it anywhere. Well, that's the reason This morning I woke up quite late so, I was in a

rush and I forgot it. I got it. But what's wrong? Ah, I wanna ask you about the report yesterday. I haven't received it. I sent it via email this morning. Oh, is that so? Okay. Let me see it. Tomorrow is a holiday! That's great! We have 5 days off, right? Yes. A long enough time to travel. Are you going to travel during this holiday? No, I just recommend it to you. What's your plan this time? This time I just want to stay at home to chill out. Really? Will you stay at home for the whole

5 days? No. I will come back to my hometown and visit my grandparents for 2 days. That's a great plan! Right. This time, I don't want to travel anymore. I want to spend time with my family. Hope you have a great time! You too. Hi, Jenny. Sorry, we're late. No problem. I just arrived. Yeah. This is my girlfriend. Anna. Anna? Are you Anna? Oh, Jenny. So you're Leon's girlfriend? That's right. Are you working together? Oh God! Surprise! Do you know each other? Yeah. We are friends. We met in college. Wow. I can't believe it. The

Earth is so small. Everyone knows everyone else. That's right. Anyway, let's order some drinks. Right. Hey, Chad. What are you doing? I'm just practicing singing. Wow, you're working so hard. I wonder why you like it like that. Well, music is an interest of mine. I've loved it since I was a kid. Are you influenced or inspired by someone in your family? Sure. They are my parents. They love music as well. Oh, I got it. Do they encourage you to become a singer? Of course, they support me a lot. That's good! Hope you can be successful.

I'll try my best. You look so happy, Alice. That's right, David. I'm over the moon. I feel like a million dollars. Seeing you happy makes me happy, too. Tell me, what's the good news? It's really good news. I can't believe it. What is it? I got a full-ride scholarship. Unbelievable! What? Oh my god! Congratulations! Thank you so much for always supporting and encouraging me. You see, I said that you can do it. I'm so proud of you, Alice. I just got this news via email. I can't believe what I saw. You deserve it! You were

working so hard. I'm so happy about that. Thank you! I will tell this news to grandma. She will be very happy. Was the field trip with your class fun? Yes, Mom, It was really fun. Tell me more about it. We went to visit the museum and did pottery. Can you make pottery yourself? Yes. I made a ceramic vase for you to arrange flowers. Wow. That's wonderful! Thank you, honey. I like this trip. What an exciting experience! I'm glad to hear that. But it would be better if the weather wasn't so hot, Right. Today is so

hot to go outside. I was so sweaty and drank a lot of water. I know that. Well, we're running out of food. Oh, is there anything in the fridge? Nothing. I think I should go to buy some food. Do you want to go with me? Lisa isn't at home. I have an online meeting now. I can't go with you. Oh, I got it. Is there someone who can go with you? I will ask Alex to go with me. I think he is playing games. That's good. I want to drink Cola. Can you buy it for

me? Sure. If you want to buy anything else, just text me. How about buying some snacks and we will watch a movie tonight. That's a great idea! Why can't I contact Mr. Eric? What happened? He didn't answer his phone. He went on his trip to Paris with his family. Oh, I didn't know that? Yeah. He started yesterday. I got it. And you know his rules. He never answers the phone about work when relaxing. But I need him to sign this contract for me. What should I do now? He asked Jenny to solve all problems in

the company while he's away. You might go ask her. That's great! Thank you so much. No problem. Why don't you go home? It's quite late now. I'm waiting for my mom, but she hasn't come yet. Why don't you call her? I want to call her, but my phone is out of battery now. Can I borrow your phone? Of course. Here you are. Thank you. So what dose your mom say? She said that she is on the way but she got stuck because of the traffic jam. Oh, I got it. How do you go to school?

I just walk. Is your house near here? Right. It's on the opposite street. I have to go now. Bye! I'm home, honey. Where are Bella and Kate? Bella is sleeping in her room now. Oh, really? Where is Kate? Isn't she playing with Bella? No, she went back home. Why? Well, Kate and Bella can't play together. They fight like cats and dogs. Oh my...! I thought they could be close friends because they are the same age. I thought so, but no, they can't play along. Kate was crying a lot. It seems like they have different personalities,

Right. Bella likes to play with Nick more. Nick is older than Bella. He won't fight with her. Exactly. I was looking for a new book to read, and John suggested a fantastic novel to me. Really? What book did he recommend? He suggested that I read "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Oh, I've heard great things about that book. What did John say about it? He said it's a captivating story about following your dreams and finding your true purpose in life. That sounds intriguing. I'll have to add it to my reading list too. John praised the beautiful

storytelling and the profound messages within the book. I trust his judgment when it comes to books. Absolutely. I'm grateful that he suggested it to me. I can't wait to dive into this story. Thanks for sharing, Jack. I'll make sure to check it out. You're welcome, Sarah. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I will. Happy reading. Alice, why do you enter the room without knocking? Sorry. I need to find my stuff. You have to think about how I feel. I need my privacy. I don't care about what you think. I really need it right

now. And there's a lot of your stuff in my room. Please take all of it back to your room. My room is full. So how about I throw all of it away? Hey, if you do that, I will tell Mom and Dad. So keep it neatly in your room. I know. I will arrange it later. I'm speechless with you. I think your plan is pretty good. Thank you. We've made this plan based on your requirements, and I hope we can work together on this project. Of course, we've read your plan and discussed it a lot.

Thank you. Perhaps we can arrive at a compromise. That would be great! We will make the contract and we will send it to you tomorrow. Thanks. The presentation of your project plan is very good. I appreciate it. It's so nice of you to say so. I'm looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow. Yeah. I will email you the date for signing the contract. See you later. Goodbye! Where's Alex? Does he go with us? Wait for him a bit. Where is he? He's over there. What's he doing? He's calling his mom. If we don't go now,

we won't be at the destination by sunset. That's right, the sunset at the sea is the most beautiful. Tell him to hurry up, Hannah. Okay. Let me tell him. Oh, he's coming. Let's go. Hurry up. What are you talking to your mom? She told me to be careful. Henry, how was the test? Oh, Mom. I don't want to mention that test anymore. What happened? That test was so hard. I couldn't do it. Well, don't worry. The most important thing is you tried your best to do it. Yeah, but its result will affect my result for

the term. Just a little bit. Don't be sad. My friends Alex and Julia are very good at Maths but they also said the test wasn't easy. How could I do it well? I put no pressure on you about the test result. Thank you Mom. But I think I should prepare more carefully for the end-term test. That's good! I want to have better results.
