likes gardening our garden is full of different flowers because dad waters them every day sometimes i see him playing golf with his colleagues yeah that can be one of his hobbies do you think our family has something similar when talking about hobbies maybe we both enjoyed traveling yeah you're right that's why we always have at least one trip a month i find that quite interesting yeah one of my favorite trips was when we went to vietnam and visited hanoi city you're right what an ancient city i missed the time when we were wandering around hokkien lake which was really romantic totally

waiting for subway too i also wait for it to here it comes let's go [Music] where are you living now i have moved to a new apartment in grey street it is smaller and less modern than my old one but is much closer to my workplace how nice it is the greatest thing is to live near the company yes the most important thing is to close distance it could save me a lot of time it is nearly 6 p.m now i am a little hungry do you have come back home now can we have a dinner together okay just a little time because i have to go back home soon to take care of my children okay i see what do you think about mario restaurant mario is the best restaurant in town mario is good they've got good food but it's expensive mcdonald's is cheaper but it is really unhealthy i think hackney restaurant is the best it is the cheapest the healthiest and the most delicious okay there is one near here let's go there [Music] what would you like to order hmm chicken salad barbecue beef and spaghetti please i am on a diet i would like some greek salad and mushroom soup please you eat too little why i am less confident because the people around me say i am getting much fatter since i gave birth i have gained more than 10 kilograms i don't see any trouble you are a mother and your body still looks appealing really you are comforting me aren't you no it's real you know the most important thing is to stop caring what other people say just be yourself and satisfy with what you've got thank you james you are right [Music] how is your english going oh it is much better these days it is easier than before and i know more words and i can speak more confidently it is great i remember you used to say you hate english the most ah yes i was ashamed of my pronunciation let me tell you one joke okay please go ahead my friends laughed at me when i said peace on you into his son now your pronunciations is like a native speaker really i'm glad to hear that james because i practiced as much as possible how many languages can you speak now four spanish english chinese and my mother tongue french amazing which language do you think is the hardest spanish is considered to be more difficult than english but chinese is the most difficult language which language took you the longest time to study chinese i think the hardest part is to memorize and write characters you are more patient than i thought it requires much effort now i can communicate well which helped me a lot in my work you see the most important thing to win any challenge is your determination how is your work are you still working as sales manager for asus company no i quit two years ago why it is one of the most famous companies in the city yes it could pay me the highest salary but it is not my happiness now i am a baker a baker i still remember the cake you made yourself on my birthday it is one of the most delicious cakes i have ever eaten yes i have great passion to make different kinds of cakes and i love making cakes for my beloved ones right money is not the most important the most important thing is to do our dream job and be happy what about you how is your work i am now working for zara company as a designer my sister is a big fan of zara its design is very eye-catching at this company i am always able to be as busy as it be but like you i love my current job can you tell me about your family how many kids have you got i have a two-year-old baby girl she is as cute as a button wow i love children do you have her photo yes i have one on my phone here you are let me see oh how cute she is they are is like two peas yes other people also say that since she was born my life became much more meaningful than ever before what about your husband he is more responsible to the family he shares with me the housework and takes care of the baby well lucky you you have a happy family yes family is the most important thing to me now when will you get married with lucy we intend to at the end of this year she is the most charming woman i have ever met what is she doing now she is working as a journalist she has traveled to many places in the world paris is her most visited city paris is my hometown yes it is the most romantic city in this world i came there in the winter last year and it is one of the most exciting vacations i have ever had yes there are a lot of things that tell about the city paris i love the weather there it is slightly warmer in winter than here in the uk lucy and i will come back there after our marriage yeah you should ah i know that her father is one of the most powerful politicians in this town you're going to be his son-in-law the first time i met him i was a little nervous but he was very much more friendly than i thought he must be kind to you because his daughter is going to belong to you yes you are right i need to take care of her well for the rest of my life great i look forward to your happy wedding [Music] it is getting darker i need to go home to take care of my children and make video call to my parents too they love seeing my baby as well your parents how are they they are getting weaker i keep calling them every night and visit them every weekend wow great habit i don't call my parents very often you should call them more frequently we should show our care as they are getting older and older i often blame for busy work from now on i will do it nothing is more important than family yes caring about others is the most important thing your parents will be very happy to hear from you that's right let's go home and tell them about our interesting stories today thank you for your dinner hope to see you soon let's keep contact bye see you then [Music] i can't wait until the day we go to da lot what should we do there we should make a detailed and careful list couldn't agree more in my opinion we should separate into three sections shopping eating and sightseeing if no one says anything we'd go along with that idea now shall we start with the sightseeing section first which places do you guys think they're worth visiting how about a lot waterfall guys i've never seen a waterfall in my life that's true we should put it on the list how about the other places let's say lavender garden the valley of love and other flower gardens some people said that when going to dalot we should visit a variety of flowers that's a good point don't you think we should not spend so much time visiting flower gardens just write down one garden i'd suggest the lavender one then we can have time going to other attractions you're absolutely right hey you guys may forget the night market oh yes and we can move to the next section of what to eat in the lot the night market would be a perfect place for us to choose what we want to enjoy what should we try here personally the pizza street here is awesome and also the avocado ice cream we'd better try them yeah the soy milk is delicious too wow seems like we have a lot of options okay let's talk about the shopping section what should we buy in dalot i believe that we can buy lots of special souvenirs for our relatives in the lot we have lang farm which is really famous for dalots specialties yeah and winter clothes in the lot is also another good choice for girls i love buying shawls so do i well i think it's enough for today's making list we can discuss the rest tomorrow all right let's start the next lesson then [Music] it's nearly mom's birthday should we do something for her daddy of course i haven't had any ideas yet do you have anything on your mind at the moment i'd say that we should make a birthday cake for her it will be more meaningful than buying one in the cake store won't it yeah i'm not really keen on cooking in fact i'm kind of bad at it also buying ingredients is really expensive oh you're right it is generally accepted that flowers are the best gift for women but that's not the same thing at all daddy i think after the party the flowers won't be fresh like the first day then we have to throw it away after that that's true we should cross out the options cake and flowers i think so too wait ah i know i know [Music] what last week when going to the supermarket with mom i saw she was being impressed by a red dress in a female mall the dress is not expensive but lovely would you like to look at it with me again yes i agree i think it's a brilliant idea maybe your mom will be surprised as we know what she likes at the moment should we buy the birthday cake i think we should buy the small one because i'm not fond of sweet things neither is she okay so let's go [Music] jenny are you there yes what's the matter i need your help i have a date with my boyfriend this afternoon and i'm really bad at preparing things for the first impression oh come on take it easy i'll help you then okay first of all we need an outfit for you that day what do you usually wear when hanging out with friends well let's say jeans and t-shirts are all i have forget it my friend we need a brand new you have you ever worn a dress before yes but only some special occasions with family let me show you my closet then all right this blue checked skirt is really lovely you can wear it with a white crop top well i must take issue with you on that i cannot wear a crop top it would show my fat belly to everyone hmm so how about this dress i love the navy color of the dress well i'm afraid i have to disagree because it's kind of tight to my body i don't prefer sexy types it's hard to choose an item of clothes for you yeah i know okay so let's follow the energetic style then i'd suggest that you wear a polo white shirt with shorts and wear white adidas shoes what do you think i think i'm going to love this style let me try it on [Music] wow you look young and lovely yes thank you for helping me choose this outfit okay so the final step is makeup let me do it for you he would prefer the tender vibe from your face okay done good luck with your first date thank you [Music] welcome home tell me about his feelings when he saw you well he's kind of surprised when i changed my style he said he loved it and i had a really perfect first date with him that's a good thing congrats [Music] what do you think about the japanese food marvelous without a doubt i love sushi but i don't really enjoy the mustard eating with it i don't like it either it's hotter than chili's i suppose yeah how about the vietnamese food i'd say that they are amazing [Music] enjoying vietnamese street foods is like a new experience to me there were a lot of names of dishes that i couldn't remember at all the recent one i ate would be uh do you know it uh yeah i tried once i love the taste of it i'm sorry to disagree with you on that the taste of bonzio to me is kinda awful oh really how about uh bun coat no i would rather enjoy the indian curry then ah i know that dish but once when i went to a restaurant they made the curry so salty that i didn't really enjoy it is that the star restaurant that has just opened exactly yeah the food there also has different tastes from country to country that's different i think their menu isn't very various in terms of global cuisine all right how about the food in the usa well they are famous for fast food right kfc mcdonald's and so on i don't really agree they also serve other dishes and apple pies is a must try do you know it well that is an interesting fact yeah the cuisine around the world is really amazing and different people have different taste you're right [Music] as far as i'm concerned the main cause for water pollution is the amount of waste water which is dumped yearly from factories near local lakes and rivers thus resulting in the ocean pollution what do you guys think i agree with you entirely and i'd like to point out that the factory in our area also dumps a large quantity of chemical wastes into the local lake which leads to the stinky smell and affects the whole neighborhood including my house you guys are right it is considered that the local authority is seriously dealing with this problem i'm not so sure about that ms kim however as a student personally i think we can improve this situation by some practical actions that's just what i was thinking in my experience we should raise awareness of local residents to reduce the amount of trash thrown into the local lakes and rivers on the contrary nobody will know about the current issue that directly harms their environment it is thought that we can even make some posters about protecting the environment and hang them in public places well i must they say that hanging posters in public places is not entirely true the local authority won't let us hang anything publicly we have to think another way hey guys how about making a small documentary film about this problem it's unjustifiable to say that we can have enough budget to make a film sarah what i mean is all we need is just a phone and set up some scenes to show everyone which is considered to be bad behaviors toward the local area it is said that people usually watch a video rather than listening to some speech about the environmental issues so speaking for myself i completely agree with that idea yeah we should discuss more about the film project after this lesson ms kim will you join us of course i'd love to support you guys okay thank you for your listening end your discussion with my presentation about water pollution [Music] long time no see hey guys i'm home mom dad sally anyone home i'm home now hey son hi dad i'm back how are you doing buddy i'm doing great how are your legs were they acting up again the last time i called they were but i've got the pain under control now that's great how about mom and

yeah i have just read about it on the news no one's got badly injured right that's what i heard there too people are all fine but the collision made it so difficult to move how long did it take you to

did you have any news on ben he was supposed to be here at nine o'clock i didn't it's ten minutes past nine now he must be stuck somewhere why don't we kick the ball rolling now by reviewing what we should do today hey guys i'm so sorry i overslept but i tried the best i could to be here oh thanks you're finally here ben things aren't easy like that ben well how about me buying you two drinks today okay agreed deal all right the drinks are on me then so ben alex and i we're about to talk about how we can have our discussion today any ideas guys our topic is how americans start the conversations i think we can list all the sayings expressions that we often use to say hi to each other yeah i can do it first normally i'll say hi hello or how are you doing for my part how do you do is a common saying to ask others about their current situation i think so too but i guess i can add some more for example i often greet friends by asking what's up or what's shaken bacon pardon you call your friends bacon a kind of meat alex stop being funny it's just an expression yeah when i ask you what's shaken bacon it means how are you today i get it now young people like us are very creative with ways to break the ice sometimes i use how's life or how's life treating you too i agree with you that now we have so many sayings to start a talk oh i think people also ask about weather time or give compliments to others as well you're so right alex i think starting a talk needs efforts flexibility and creativity it depends on who you are talking to and how close you are to them totally on point okay i wrote everything down here i think we're done for our first meeting now good teamwork guys [Music] excuse me is that you rosa you are jessica is that right yes i am jessica i

here you look like you're in a hurry hi thomas my phone is broken i brought it here for check what about you i have bought a new mobile phone for my girlfriend today is her birthday it's always so difficult to choose a gift for a girl that is right what is the matter with your mobile phone well i left my phone in the washing machine when i took it out it was broken did you reset it yes but i failed hmm you must have left it in the washing machine for too long i regret that a lot i understand david i have been in the same situation is that so it was sunday i decided to cook breakfast for my girlfriend i thought she would be very surprised but life is not a dream can you tell me what happened i was making an omelette but i came into the living room and watched television then my girlfriend smelled something burning the omelet was ruined what was her reaction she laughed at me i cannot tell you how ashamed i was that is so funny oh it is so late i must go now my girlfriend is waiting for me okay see you later thomas bye david [Music] hi helen and christina hi irene long time no see i have been so busy recently let's sit down and have a talk how have you been irene good but today is an awful day for me what is the matter with you well there were a lot of troubles i set the alarm for 6am but when the clock rang i shut it off when i woke up it was eight o'clock am that means you overslept for two hours i jumped out of my bed and changed my clothes as quickly as possible i did not have time for breakfast i sometimes oversleep too last month i was late for an important meeting can you tell us what happened next i rushed to the meeting and when i came in everyone looked at me i was so embarrassed i guess you look so silly at the time yes i do not want to remember that moment it seems that everyone has bad memories for the alarm when i was at university i missed the midterm exam because my alarm clock did not ring did you have to retake it of course i was so angry that i threw the clock into the waste basket for you my bad things did not end there when i was going to leave my house i could not find my car keys anywhere oh so what did you do i had to take a taxi to my office and when i paid the bill i realized i had forgotten my wallet at home how did you handle that situation hmm i had to call my colleague he helped me make the payment such a bad day for you irene why don't we go out to eat something before coming back home great idea let's change our clothes and go [Music] it's a nice day what are you going to do this morning peter i'm going to the tennis club with some of my friends we have not seen each other for a long time i bet you will stay at home and watch movies it is so boring oh no you are totally wrong i am going to the supermarket to get some food sarah do you want to go with me it will be very interesting yes mom i would love it so let's finish your breakfast first we don't have much time yes mom can we go to the supermarket every weekend mom of course sarah we will have more time together i will help you push the cart [Music] okay you are a good girl sarah [Music] what kind of fruits do you like sarah i like apples they are so sweet i can eat 10 apples a day i like apples too what do you think if we make apple pie this afternoon your dad will like it yes i will eat a lot can i invite a few friends to our house and enjoy apple pie with us i guess they will be very surprised no problem you can invite as many friends as you want why do you buy so many fruits fruits are good for our health because they contain a lot of vitamins today i think i will get some oranges and bananas why do you choose that mommy there are many other fruits on the shelf oranges contain vitamin c which makes us healthier orange juice can make our skin better too oh i see that is why you drink orange juice every morning you want to be more and more beautiful is that true you are right sarah i should have this habit too what about bananas i do not like eating bananas at all do they have anything special bananas are good for your digestive system and your heart that means your body can process food better and your heart is stronger oh i will try some but i am not sure if you do not like bananas we can make banana ice cream or banana cakes i hope you will change your thinking i hope so too besides fruits vegetables are also good for your health but i see that you do not eat much mommy what vegetables are good for our health you should eat various kinds of vegetables for example cabbage cauliflower cucumber tomato pumpkin oh i see we can make cabbage salad it is very delicious great idea it is also healthy do you want to make it by yourself i will show you how to do it really i'm very excited about that you should learn how to cook sarah you will be a mom in the future a super mom like you are you kidding it is the truth i am not kidding at all you are admirable mommy why don't we buy some carrots to make carrot juice i like it very much that is a good idea carrots are good for your eyes because they contain vitamin a but do not drink too much carrot juice your skin may turn yellow i'm sure you do not like that i know mom i am imagining someday i will turn into a huge carrot it is so funny do you know the benefits of cucumbers let me think um cucumbers also help us have better skin i have never seen you put slices of cucumbers on your face that is only one benefit of cucumbers cucumbers contain many important vitamins and minerals including protein and vitamin c especially there is plenty of water inside cucumbers you know water is crucial to your body oh it is so wonderful mom yes baby and when eating cucumbers you should not peel them in order to maximize the amount of nutrients so convenient mom from now on i think i can eat cucumbers every day to soak them in salt water before that of course i am not a child anymore more importantly when buying any kinds of fruits or vegetables you should choose the fresh ones rotten ones are not good for our health i think we bought enough fruits and vegetables what do you like for lunch sarah i like fish mommy great idea fish is very good for your health and i will be more intelligent when eating fish is that right that's right i will make baked fish okay you are number one mom that is daddy's favorite food okay let's go to the seafood section [Music] there are so many kinds of fish here i do not know what to choose i will help you wow such huge crabs can we get some mommy we can have steamed crabs for dinner crabs will provide our bodies with candy which is good for our bones means i will be taller that is true but do not forget to do exercise in the morning you will be taller and stronger do you want to buy canned fish mom oh no canned goods are convenient but they may contain dangerous bacteria and harm our health it is better to buy frozen fish or fresh fish [Music] we will buy chicken and pork mom of course i nearly forgot we will have chicken soup for lunch both chicken and pork are good for our health they provide our bodies with protein we can make fried chicken too okay girl but you should not eat fried foods frequently they contain so much fat i think no girl wants to gain weight yes mom just sometimes [Music] what about drinks mom can i get coca-colas why don't you drink fruit juice instead of coca-colas gas drinks is not good because you may get fat and have diabetes oh getting fat is terrible i will get orange juice instead what about beer for daddy okay daughter your father sometimes drinks a glass of beer at the weekend he does not use it much because it is unhealthy sarah there is not any milk in our fridge we will pick some at a milk section okay mom i like drinking milk in the morning [Music] mommy why do you take so much milk is it discounted oh no darling milk is nutritious and we should drink it every day even your father and i drink a glass of milk per day but you should drink no sugar added milk instead of sweetened milk why mommy no sugar added milk is so pale you know sugar is not good for your health okay i will not drink sweetened milk anymore can i buy chocolate i've not eaten it for a long time okay baby chocolate is good for your brain but eating it too much can make you gain weight do you know that i know mom i will come to the candy section to get just a little a few minutes later sarah comes back with a small box of chocolate [Music] mommy do you like instant noodles it is so delicious every kid likes instant noodles including you however eating much instant noodles is not good you may get some diseases related to hearts or kidneys your body may get hot inside too but i like it mom i will eat instant noodles only once a week i promise let me see sarah do you want me to buy some new clothes you are getting bigger and bigger okay mom we will buy something for daddy i will buy him a new t-shirt i guess he will like it his birthday is next saturday i have tried on so many dresses mommy i am so tired and hungry do you want to eat anything what about fast food i do not recommend you to eat fast food it is oily and contains high calories don't we come home and cook lunch with fresh vegetables and meat they are safer and healthier i will help you mom is there anything to eat emma i am hungry i cannot wait anymore a meal is ready my darling take a rest for a while and we will have lunch together dad do you know who made the salad of course your mom it is me daddy although with mommy's help i'm very surprised
