M: Hello, ma’am. May I help you?
W: Hi, I’d like to buy a bag for my 4-year-old
daughter.
M: Well, teddy bear bags are the best-sellers
these days. Would you like one shaped
like a teddy bear face?
W: Hmm, it looks cute, but I prefer square
bags.
M: OK. Would you like a bag with a leather
strap?
W: Do you only have leather straps?
M: No. We also have bead straps over here.
W: Great. My girl would like a bead strap.
And what is that ring hanging on the bag?
M: It’s a key chain. Isn’t it nice?
W: Yes, but I don’t think she will need
it. I’ll take one without a key chain.
M: OK. Would you like it wrapped?
W: Yes, please. I hope she likes it.

W: So, you really don’t like surprise
parties, huh?
M: No, I don’t. Why?
W: Well, we were going to do something
for you after work, but if you really
don’t like the idea ...
M: I’d rather not. Birthdays don’t really
matter to me. Have you already made all
the arrangements and everything?
W: We booked the place and invited people,
and Danny has already hired a band.
M: Really? Which band?
W: It’s a local band ― The Beat. They’re
supposed to be good.
M: You’re kidding! The Beat? They’re excellent.
I really like them.
W: I don’t know. If you want, we might
be able to cancel it.
M: Well, wait. I like the sound of this
surprise party.
W: Yeah? So, should we go ahead with it?
M: Definitely.

W: We've talked about your recent work
so far. Now let's talk about your childhood.
Were there any experiences that affected
your current career?
M: I've been drawing since I was about
five. I grew up drawing cartoons and watching
Bugs Bunny. Also, movies like Star Wars
inspired me.
W: Star Wars? I also love that movie myself.
Anyway, what do you most enjoy about your
job?
M: Creating characters. I bring them to
life and convince the audience that the
character exists as a living, breathing
entity.
W: To bring unanimated things to life
is certainly something. But I guess it's
sometimes challenging, isn't it?
M: Sure, it is. And entertaining the audience
is very difficult. We have to give them
something new or surprising instead of
an easy solution.
W: Then if you could switch jobs in the
movie business what would you do?
M: Since this is purely a hypothetical
question, I will admit I actually love
writing. I'd love to write screen plays
for a living.
W: Now, that is something surprising.
I didn't know, and I'm sure our audience
didn't know, that you were interested
in writing. I'd like to talk with you
more, but I'm afraid our time is up. I
hope to have you on our show once again
soon.

W: Hello. May I help you?
M: Yes, I'm going to tour around the city
for 3 days. Can you tell me what type
of tickets you have for the waterbus?
W: We have standard, one-day and three-day
tickets. The standard is €6, one-day,
€18, and three-day, €40. With the forty-euro
ticket, you'll see all the highlights
of the city on a combined walking-and-boat
tour.
M: All right. I'll take two of the three-day
tickets.
W: Adult or student?
M: Students.
W:University or high school? Student discounts
are different depending on what type of
school you go to.
M: We're both university students.
W:Okay. We offer 20% off for university
students.
M: That's good. Here's my credit card.

M: Mrs. Wilson, thanks for seeing me
on such short notice.
W: No problem, Charles. What can I do
for you today?
M:Well, I'm going to apply for an internship
next semester to get work experience in
my field of study.
W: Good idea. So you may have to cancel
your registered classes.
M: That's what I'm worried about. I don't
really want to cancel my classes.
W:Well, how about considering a part-time
internship? If it's part time, you can
balance your school work and your internship.
But if you work full time, you know it'll
delay your graduation, right?
M: Ahh, I see what you mean. Then I should
only take part-time.
W: I think you should make it clear that
you're only interested in a part-time
position.
M: All right. I'll keep that in mind.
Thank you.

M: You said your company's slogan is
"When you get busy, we get busy for
you." Would you please tell me what
your company does?
W: We do the simplest errands that a lot
of working people have no time for, such
as picking the kids up after school, washing
their cars, mowing the lawns, and even
going grocery shopping.
M: Wow! You are busy doing many things
for others. Sometimes you must get fed
up and tired of doing your work, right?
W: Well, sometimes I do, but mostly I
feel happy. I can help others and make
money at the same time.
M: You seem to take pride in your job.
Do you also do errands to help with the
household chores?
W: Definitely. Many people want to have
someone to arrange their closets or get
things cleaned. And there are people who
need help with paperwork like bills and
tax refund documents.
M: Sounds interesting! So what do you
do to promote your business?
W: Not much. Most of my work comes from
recommendations, so basically it is my
customers who build up my business.

M: Why the long face? Is something wrong?
W: Yes. I'm in big trouble. I might have
to go back to my country.
M: Why? Tell me what happened.
W: I tried my best to get good grades
last semester, so I was sure I would be
granted the distinguished student scholarship.
But apparently my qualification isn't
good enough.
M: Sorry to hear that. Why don't you apply
for another scholarship? You know there's
the Korea Scholarship Council on campus.
W: Don't you think it's too late to apply?
M: Just give it a try and call them anyway.
W: Hmm... Do you know what I have to submit
to apply?
M: As far as I know, you need to submit
academic transcripts and a letter of recommendation
from one of your professors.
W: All right. How long do you think it'll
take to get the recommendation?
M: It depends on the advisor. I guess
it would take some time. As for now, I
think you should check the availability
with the council.
W: You're right! I'll call and check right
now. Thanks for your help.

M: Sandy, I heard you started your own
business recently. I envy you!
W: It’s just a small internet business.
M: The size of it doesn’t matter. You’re
the CEO!
W: Honestly, it’s not that wonderful.
I think I should’ve considered the workload
before quitting my old job.
M: Why?
W: Well, I’m the only person who works
for my company, so I have to handle everything
myself.
M: I’m sure the situation will get better
soon.
W: Who knows? The future of my business
is really up in the air.
M: Every business owner goes through tough
times. But I still envy you.
W: Please don’t. I wish I were working

M: Ha! You must have forgotten how stressful
it is to work for someone else.

too?
② M:Would you wait over at the check-in
counter? I need to go to the restroom.

M: Well, sometimes I wish I had brought

I'm doing fine most of the time.
W: Oh, I can send it to you by express
mail, if you want.
M: Although I can learn more without relying
on my dictionary, I think that's a good
idea because I need it when I'm writing.
W: All right. Let me have it delivered
to you this afternoon. Anyway, I'm glad
you are learning a lot. I told you this
camp would be a great opportunity.
M: You were so right. It was really hard
to write the English self-introduction

W: College is a time when people are
engaged in social networking. Sometimes,
it requires effort and an open mind. Here
are some tips. First, try to allow new
people into your life. Smile, compliments
and sincere expressions of interest in
another person are important gestures
used to shape relationships. Second, treat
everyone the same. Think of everyone as
being a close, dear friend whom you’re
excited to see. Not easy to do, but it
will make you much more likeable. Lastly,
join the clubs you're interested in. Find
a relevant club, and get involved. Keep
these in mind, and they will help you
have a healthy social life.

M: Good morning, everyone. I'm Kim Han-su
from the Agricultural Cooperative. We're
gathered here today to discuss what we
should do about foot-and-mouth disease.
It's a severe plague for animal farming
since it's highly infectious. Now that
a large scale outbreak of it is anticipated,
the authorities are monitoring all the
livestock regularly. We've been vaccinating
them throughout the country and have taken
strict measures to avoid entry of the
disease by international travelers. Likewise,
as livestock producers, you should help
monitor the spread of the disease. Please
watch out for excessive salivating, lameness,
and other signs and immediately report
them to the officials concerned. Make
sure to wash your clothes and footwear
before traveling to another farm, ranch,
or property. Most importantly, please
ensure all food is cooked thoroughly before
feeding your livestock. Thank you for
your cooperation.

morning headline news from KBN.
* Research conducted by a British
University revealed that chronic sleep
deficiency significantly increases the
risk of developing heart disease.
* A college student developed a smart
phone application designed to replicate
the Jeju Island dialect. This app will
be used by tourists to help them navigate
the island with more ease.
* According to the government, Korea's
exports of refined oil products including
diesel and aircraft fuel increased more
than 30 percent compared to the previous
year.
* Korean pop stars are reaching out
to the world through global networks
like YouTube and Twitter, which have
become crucial tools to reach audiences
outside of the country.
* A government survey showed that most
citizens wish to expand smoking-free
zones to bus stops and even residential
areas, calling for stricter regulations
on outdoor smoking.

M: Good morning. Spring is definitely
in the air! We'll finally enjoy some warmer
weather after a long and cold winter.
But putting your winter clothes away is
not a good idea because there'll be another
cold spell before we fully embrace the
spring. Tomorrow will be the warmest day
this year here in London and the temperature
will reach 17 degrees. The temperature
will then drop down to 11 during the evening
and we'll continue to enjoy this warmer
weather through Thursday. Clouds will
cover the London sky on Friday, so don't
expect a sunny day. If you're planning
to go out during the weekend, be sure
to take your coat with you. The temperature
during the day will not be more than 7
degrees over the weekend and intermittent
rain is expected. That’s all for now and
enjoy the rest of your day.

about joining the team. What do you think?

W: Chris and Hannah were visiting Green
Wood National Park on a beautiful afternoon
in the summer. They were touring around
the park by themselves in a rental car.
They were astonished by the beautiful
scenery of the mountains and wild animals
grazing and strolling in the open field.
The park was so fascinating that they
lost track of time until it started to
get dark. Although they had a map of the
roads in the park, Chris thought it would
be difficult to get back to their hotel
after sunset. However, Hannah wanted to
enjoy the sunset before they headed back.
She told Chris it would not be a problem
to find their hotel because the roads
were pretty simple. Chris agreed that
the roads were not complicated, but he
didn't want to drive in the dark in the
middle of the forest. In this situation,
what would Chris probably say to Hannah?
