start from scratch i have tried to write

something but i felt it’s not good

individually and find more information

about one content that we liked about

world war one

that sounds really interesting

actually i copied lisa’s notebook but

because i don’t understand the lesson

read carefully textbook already

how many boxes are left which box should

i carry

great if you help me to carry the

biggest one i can’t do it for sure

yes i know a girl like you cannot do

heavy work like that you should ask for

help earlier

it but doing so much makes me weak

out of every other size for that dress

feelings and emotions

basic vocabulary about emotions and

feelings

the expression you wear on your face is

far more important than the clothes you

wear on your back

how do you feel today

what influences your emotions

the weather

your friends your family

strangers or yourself

situation one today is a bad day

[Music]

hi ariel what’s going on you always call

before coming i’m surprised

today is a bad day and i need you right

now qrixy

oh come in

[Music]

tell me what happened

this morning the weather’s so good i

felt great

but everything got worse because of its

appearance

what happened

a banana

it is a sad story isn’t it

yes i felt terrible

let’s react something about my sad story

okay

even though you haven’t said anything

yet what did the banana do

today i got up very early i decided to

walk to the company

i wore my favorite shirt i felt

confident

but i tripped by a banana

[Music]

what a stupid banana

then i fell into a puddle

my white shirt has completely turned

brown i felt so ashamed everyone was

looking at me

it’s so embarrassing then what did you

do

i went back home to change clothes so

i’m late for work

oh my dear is it okay

no when i go to work early why do i

never see my boss but today i arrived

late he and i face to face

[Music]

do you often come to work late

no sir i mean that i am never late

seven minutes later i want to see report

on my desk

yes sir

[Music]

what are you doing

it is last month’s report how did you

make a mistake like this

oh sorry sir i got the wrong report

not only you arrived late but your mind

was also not focused on work

i’m sorry

ten minutes later i want to see your

this month’s report and the reason why

you’re late this morning

[Music]

trixie guess what happened

i don’t know

i said because of the banana so i was

late he got angry again

i’m speechless i was so annoyed

today whatever i touch they are broken

how do you feel now

i’m suspicious of myself and sad

you can’t control what happened or will

happen to you but you can control your

emotions

let’s get back to your mood

don’t doubt yourself

you are my beautiful and talented friend

thank you i feel better

let’s eat something

[Music]

situation 2 my boyfriend doesn’t care

about me anymore

[Music]

you look unhappy today

what happened

i’m very disappointed

don’t tell me you’re arguing with your

boyfriend again

yes we argued but what happens he always

calls me first

but now he didn’t call anymore even i

called him he didn’t pick up

don’t worry too much maybe he’s busy

he ignores me we rarely text these days

why are you arguing

when i’m excited he’s bored when i’m

angry

he doesn’t care i’m silent he doesn’t

care

when i want to go out with him he always

says he’s busy when i left he didn’t

stop me

i am confused now

[Music]

thinking so much will make you more

upset

does he still love me

go and ask him how do i know

no way i won’t call him first again

i don’t care about him anymore

maybe he doesn’t ignore you he can’t

hear you

because he’s so focused on thinking

that’s how men’s brains work

what does he think

and you you just said you don’t care

about him anymore

i think you should keep yourself busy

read books listen to music watch movies

work cook take care of your skin

everything

what if he still doesn’t call back

after he comes out of his mind box he

will call you

really

yes he will call to let you know that

makeup or breakup

hey you make me nervous

i’m just joking but don’t let one guy

bother you too much if he likes you he

will say it and show it

because he’s a man

if not don’t expect it just waste your

time and skip many guys who like you

you’re right and if you’re just like

this

i feel

you’ve lost yourself no longer a happy

and smiling girl as before

you’re right

thank you my friend

true love makes us wonderful

happier every day without worry or

sadness i don’t need a heartless

boyfriend

so how do you feel now

now i feel confident positive and great

thank you so much

i’m glad to hear that

[Music]

situation three

my best friend confessed to me

[Music]

what’s wrong my sister your face looks

like a monkey

i’m not a monkey i’m still in shock

what happened to you

i said that i went out with andrew

remember

oh yeah i remember

so

we were walking

suddenly he stopped and said he liked me

i was speechless for about five minutes

i’m so surprised you and andrew are best

friends right

i know i’m so confused

how did you answer him

then i said you called me and i ran

straight home right away

oh my girl

come here let me tell you about my

memory

what’s the memory

i used to have a best friend we were

very close

on his birthday he said he liked me in

front of a lot of friends

oh my goodness how many people were

there

all the members of our class were there

wow

so how did you feel

first i was surprised then i’m confused

and embarrassed

what did you answer him

i said we should be friends

what happened next

he was bewildered

then ashamed and sad

that’s what i felt then he said it was

just a joke

but after that we weren’t as close as we

used to be

he avoided me

how about you

i don’t want to lose him

but i don’t know if i like him or not

we’re just friends

what should i do next

ask yourself

ask your heart

don’t ask me

[Music]

situation four

it’s not what i expected

[Music]

what’s up my son

you look so sad

i feel depressed dad what’s up

can you tell me

i’m so disappointed in myself

don’t doubt yourself

i was assigned to the company’s project

i remember that you said if you complete

well you will prove your creativity to

everyone and maybe you get promoted

but i failed the project did not bring

profit as i expected

the project doesn’t make a loss right

yes dad

you’re still lucky many people fail

completely and go out of their own money

people tell me not to be sad but i’m not

satisfied with myself

so do you know where the problem is

i haven’t reviewed the report yet

and you have time to sit here sad

i have worked hard i’ve been

enthusiastic all month but

find the problem help you do better next

time

negative emotions don’t help it makes

you feel unconfident doubt yourself then

you have missed the opportunity to learn

more

you’re right dad

don’t look back on the past and feel

regret let’s learn from the past

thank you so much

dad you’re the best i feel better now

working hard is good but you also need

to relax and keep your emotions positive

then your creativity and your mind will

go further

[Music]

[Music]

bargaining how do you ask for a lower

price

where there is demand there is supply

where there is the seller there is the

buyer

sellers usually want to sell at a high

price

and buyers always want to buy at a low

price

let’s see how the characters bargain

with each other

situation 1 how much is this wallet

uh

[Music]

[Music]

good afternoon miss how can i help you

my wallet is too old i want to buy a new

wallet i see your store has a variety of

wallets

yes

may i recommend you some new models

of course please show me

we have some new models that just

arrived yesterday there is a pink wallet

and the brown wallet

okay let me see

they are gentle simple but elegant and

suitable for women

the pink one looks so pretty and the

brown one is so elegant

i think the pink wallet suits me better

you have good taste

recently the pink model is selling well

how much is the pink wallet

yes it’s 25

your price is too high

because this is a new arrival and the

quality is good

what is the price of the brown

the price is twenty dollars

can you make it lower

it is the best price we can not lower

the price the leather is very smooth and

durable

i can buy a wallet like this at other

stores for a lower price

i’m not sure about that our store is the

cheapest in this area already

well i’ve bought a wallet before for

fifteen dollars thanks anyway

how much is the best price for you

i’m looking to spend no more than

eighteen dollars on a wallet

[Music]

so

i can give a brown wallet to you for

eighteen dollars and a pink wallet for

twenty four dollars it is my best offer

i think

i should look around then make a

decision

[Music]

just a second waste your time if you go

around

yep

i can’t lower my price anymore but if

you buy both wallets the price for

wallets is forty dollars

let me think for a moment

we don’t think we can go that low all

right i’ll take them one is for me and

one is for my mom

you have good taste your total bill is

forty dollars

here you are

forty dollars thank you

thanks and see you again the wallet is

perfect for you

bye bye

[Music]

i have sold two wallets that make me as

happy as i just sold a house

she is a good bargainer

you’re a good bargainer too

situation two

it’s too expensive can you make it lower

[Music]

how can i help you

i’m looking for a lamp to help with my

photography

i’m a photographer do you have any lamps

like that

of course we have

follow me upstairs please

[Music]

look at this lamp it’s so interesting

it is a popular model in recent times

young people love this model lamp

what lamp is it

it is a sunset projection lamp for the

home bedroom background wall

why is there only one lamp on the shelf

it has sky blue rainbow color sunset

color etc

now this is the final sample of sunset

color

that sounds great how much is it

it’s thirty

thirty dollars

um

what if you give me half fifteen dollars

fifteen dollars i don’t think so this

lamp is selling very well

but it looks so old it is still dusty

today my staff is off i replace i

haven’t cleaned it yet

you see if it’s so hot i think it would

sell out

i imported this lamp for one month and

everyone came here saw it and bought it

right away

they bought it online too it is the

final sample

but i haven’t seen another color lamp

yet i’m not sure i like this sunset

color the best i don’t have much choice

the warm light like the sun from this

lamp is no joke it makes your wall look

so beautiful

if you sell it for half price i will buy

it

the lamp is high quality

and the price is reasonable it’s durable

and has 180 flips at your wish

i cannot pay any higher price

let me show you the battery of this lamp

can be changed in many ways

charger power bank usb socket pc or

laptop

i know

would you accept twenty dollars

i’m so sorry but

you’re a photographer and you have good

taste i take you for twenty five dollars

it is my final price

all right i’ll take it thank you

good choice and the lamp is yours

[Music]

alice how’s it going

anna it’s good

i’m over the moon because i’ve just

finished an important project yesterday

wow amazing

you look so happy

yes anna the past three months have been

exhausting to be honest

this project is very important so i

tried my best

it ended so i feel like a burden was

lifted off my shoulders

that sounds great

it’s time for you to spend time for

yourself

just relax and recharge your battery

yes of course

what a pity when the pandemic is still

in an outbreak

i want to travel abroad and let my hair

down

oh i know anyway

you can still chill at home

do you have time this weekend

how about coming to my house

you haven’t come to my house in a long

time

yes if my memory serves me right

nearly four months

that’s right

oh dear

i’ve been free since yesterday

i have a whole week off to relieve

stress so

i’ll come to your house this weekend

great

what will we do at your home

what do you think about cooking

i’ve learned some new recipes

you’ll be the first to taste those

dishes

oh it’s my pleasure

just kidding

[Music]

anna

what dish will you cook

beef with wine sauce

i ate this at a restaurant last week and

loved it so i learned the recipe online

so exciting

what can i do

[Music]

um

you can peel the carrots and onions for

me

sure

everything else is fine just put it on

the stove and cook

looks like this is easy to make

right

let’s go to the living room to chat

this dish is just waiting to be cooked

about how many minutes

i think 20 minutes then

just eat

okay

[Music]

alice

what will you do after a week off

ah

a new project

i heard the manager talk about this

project

it’s shorter than the last project

but it still takes a lot of effort

how about you is your cosmetic store

doing well

yes not bad since the pandemic my shop

has had an online form

i’m also spending a lot of time building

up the store’s image on social media

that’s a good idea

i see a lot of stores with this new form

of sales

very convenient because of social

distancing

yes i also consulted many people

ah your skin is not good these days

right

your skin doesn’t seem as shiny as

before

oh girl

i was overworked

sometimes staying up late at night

for you

i think it needs moisturizing

i just imported masks to my store

i’m using it too very

good moisture please take it home and

try it out

thank you so much i think i have to care

more about my skin

anyway you still look pretty

ah thanks

uh last week i saw alex

how are you and alex

he’s been very fond of you since high

school

yeah i know but

i told him he’s not my type

so you’re going to be single forever

no way

i’m dating another guy these days

he’s my brother’s friend

very polite and gallant

ah

wow

this is the first time i heard that

are you going to hide it from everyone

no alice i’ve only known him a little

over a month

i’ll introduce you soon

can’t wait to see him

what about you and jack

i remember the last time i saw jack was

our class reunion

yes he’s busy too

even busier than me but jack and i are

fine

although we’re busy

we still make time to visit each other

sometimes go to dinner

[Music]

i really admire your love you guys have

been dating for two years

right nearly

three more days to our two-year

anniversary

we were going to travel but due to the

pandemic we couldn’t go

so we’re going to have dinner together

you’ll be the happiest person that night

so i have to dress beautifully but the

thing is i don’t have anything to wear

i need some new dresses

we can go shopping together

but wait until tomorrow

it was quite late by the time we

finished eating

no alice i mean we can go shopping

online

online shopping is the best choice

i also want to find jeans and sneakers

online

that’s a good idea

let me see

what type of dress do you want and what

color

a dress that’s a bit chic

black or white is great

they’re very easy to mix and match with

accessories

great

can this be

quite luxurious

but

it seems a bit long

ah yes

this is nice

nice length and good color

do you think a short sleeve dress would

look better

i think you look better with short

sleeve dresses

oh really i don’t know about this

hey alice this one

perfect

ah yes anna i love it

order it

yeah this shop is my favorite clothing

shop

i previewed these pants and shoes

what do you think

great anna it’s very suitable for your

style

dynamic

and youthful

hey

anna do you smell something strange like

a burning smell

yes what’s that

[Music]

oh oh my god

beef with wine sauce in the kitchen

[Music]

oh no

is it burned

[Music]

oh dear we forgot it

we left it there nearly 35 minutes

it’s completely burned

we should have set the bell to remind us

to turn off the stove

how careless

what should we do now

we can’t eat at home

i wanted to cook for you at home but

i failed

how about going out i know a good

restaurant near my house

the beef with wine sauce is quite good

you want to try

okay

sure sorry i invited you over to my

house to cook but i failed

next time i’ll cook it again

movie series last night

okay i will save a portion of it for her

hey do you recognize that it’s raining

outside

the forecast announces that it is going

how long have we gathered together and

watch tv huh

yes i can’t remember the last time we

are too busy recently

i really want to go to the nails and spa

shop

my nails are broken so i need to fix

them

let me see

you should arrange an appointment as

soon as possible

if not it may hurt you so bad

i know

are you free tomorrow do you want to go

there with me

absolutely after 5 pm

i have to complete my deadline before 4

pm

what about lisa we should ask lisa as

well

but what is she doing now

i will come to her room and try calling

her

[Music]

girls what should i do now i look so

stupid

[Music]

what did you do with your hair

guess who is this a clown in a gray

dress

do not laugh at me anymore i am freaking

out now

calm down what did you do with your hair

i just watched a video this morning

kind of

this one

hello beauties today i will show you how

i get my layer haircut

i had a lot of questions about haircuts

and i decided to cut it by myself

there are several easy steps

firstly getting your hair ready for a

layer cut

divide your hair into sections

make a ponytail at the top of your head

slide the elastic down the length of

your hair

cut off the end of your hair then remove

the elastic and examine your layers i’m

done

this is my hair after i do cut it by

myself it looks so perfect doesn’t it

how stupid i am i watched pony’s video

on youtube and then i followed her

guides

yes i

i did it following step by step but i

look

how bad is it

tell me what should i do now

does it look so terrible i have to go to

work tomorrow

[Music]

calm down lisa let me see your hair

first then we can decide if we can fix

it by ourselves

it turned out that she watched a

tutorial video on the internet

then she had a haircut by herself but it

failed

the front looked good but the back was

messy

it looks bad really i don’t want to

scare you but it is

yes i think so lisa

you should cut it too short hair

really

i was going to cut layers i still want

to keep long hair

is there any way

no way lisa

you should ask for our advice before

doing it

my bad

may you help me fix it i’m afraid of

being laughed at when i go out with this

hair

no worries at all i will take my hat for

you

emma can you call crunchy salon to book

an appointment for her

sure

[Music]

hello is it crunchy salon

yes i want to arrange an appointment

yes

wait for me a minute

what time is better for you lisa

as soon as possible please i can’t look

at myself in the mirror even for a

minute

when is the earliest time to make an

appointment

2 p.m in the afternoon

ok

yes lisa this number

thanks

do you go with me i don’t want to go

alone i’m afraid the hairdresser thinks

i’m mad

okay

now we can watch tv and eat cake there

are three hours left

[Music]

[Music]

that afternoon they went to the hair

salon to fix lisa’s mistake

emma and rosie waited for lisa in the

lobby

oh my god

what did you do with your hair

i guess you learned cutting hair on the

internet didn’t you

how do you know

in recent days many girls have come here

to fix their failed hair

don’t trust a hundred percent in what

you watch on the internet

luckily your hair is long so it’s easy

to fix

if yours was short

it would be a hard case

yes once and for all

i don’t think i can fix it to keep this

layer style

you can cut it into short hair i’m okay

with it

okay i have a catalog here so you can

have a look let me know which style you

want

finally lisa had to have short hair

the hairdresser helped her to have a

trending style

she looked better now

[Music]

at the barber shop

at the barber shop what activities can

you do

watch the video to know what they do

situation 1 ask customers for opinions

[Music]

hi mr bell what can i do for you today

hi

the same as usual um

the haircut and shave

right you cut the ground under my feet

i understand you’re my frequenter

okay let’s do it

sure take a sit down here and i will do

it for you

but how do you want your hair cut

just trim it lightly and remember the

beard shave also

of course

how about i do some new trendy

hairstyles it’s trendy these days

i don’t think i’m suitable for it i’m

gonna stick with the old classic style

like in the past few months ago i tried

dyeing my hair

people said that it makes me look older

i understand everyone suits different

hairstyles

yes so when i get a chance i’ll try a

different hairstyle for now i will leave

it as normal

okay

now you can lower your back and relax i

will start now

cool

[Music]

done you can look through it again if

there is anything you want to change

tell me

[Music]

to be honest the beard is okay but the

hair is quite long

a bit shorter

i think this is longer than my

expectations

okay no problem anything else or just

that

no that’s the only thing the rest is

okay i guess

is it okay now

perfect that’s the hairstyle i really

want you’ve done a great job i really

like it

thank you

[Music]

situation 2

overloaded barber shop

[Music]

hello can i help you

hi

i want to have a haircut but it seems

overloaded here

well unfortunately yes because today is

the weekend many people have booked to

have a haircut

oh what a pity so i need to go back home

but it is raining cats and dogs now

you can wait for us

there are only three more customers

ahead of you

where can i sit and wait

please sit and wait at the table over

there

we have a variety of books magazines

with different topics

or you can preview the hairstyle you

want to do in our photo album there are

many new hairstyles it’s also on the

table

okay sounds good you guys really

understand the need of customers

we always put the needs of our customers

first and you go there and sit first

please i’ll bring fresh tea and cookies

right away

thanks there seems to be a few people at

the waiting table maybe it’ll be my turn

soon right

yes i hope so

how long will it take

i think it will take you about 30

minutes don’t worry if it’s your turn

i’ll call you right away

i really appreciate your service that’s

the reason why i like your barber shop

and why you have many customers every

day

thank you so please wait a bit

okay

[Music]

situation three an appointment at the

barber shop

[Music]

good morning how can i help you

hi i want to have a hair dying

definitely yes but first can i know your

name to check the appointment

oh appointment the last time i came here

i didn’t have an appointment is that

right

yes actually you just need it to set in

order to be served better and faster

but if you didn’t i’m afraid you will

have to wait some time for your turn and

that is a little longer than usual if

you set an appointment first

tough break i didn’t even know that

well we started doing this last week

we’ve reminded customers through some

communication channels about this for

quite a time before

but i guess some of the customers are

way too busy to check that information

there are many people like you so don’t

worry

that’s right last week i was on the go

because of my deadlines at school maybe

that’s the time i missed your

information

right

so what should i do now do i need to set

an appointment now

if you have time you don’t need to do

that you can wait in line for your turn

great how long does it take

at the moment i think it will take you

about 20 minutes can you wait for this

time

if you are in a rush for somewhere else

i will help you to make an appointment

and you can come again later

in the time convenient for you

no today is my day off so i think i will

wait for it hope it won’t be too long

don’t worry please go to the table over

there and sit down to wait we have tea

cookies and magazines for you

okay i got it thanks a lot you’re

welcome

[Music]

situation for

a frequenter

[Music]

hey

long time no see jill

oh hey danny how are you these days

not too bad and is the business still

going well

you see

like any other business in the pandemic

my business wasn’t as usual

at the same time i still pay for the

rent expense monthly

me too my restaurant hasn’t had many

customers lately

most of them are at home because of

social distancing

it’s a good way but it makes it

difficult for business people like us

that’s really down on our luck

right but this pandemic appears suddenly

no one wants it

not only you and me but also some people

were no better

like a nightmare i hope we can manage it

luckily my house owner is really nice he

agrees to reduce the rent for me

wow such a lucky person you are

i should also make an agreement with my

landlord

yes you should do that

we have to try our best to manage the

situation

okay

anyway we have to go on with our normal

life

please help me cut my hair

of course do you still want to cut like

last time

right

okay i’ll do it right now

i will go to your restaurant for dinner

oh welcome or you can order food to take

home we have a delivery service

oh really is it new

yes one way to manage this situation

[Music]

future perfect tense

the future perfect is a verb form or

construction used to describe an event

that is expected or planned to happen

before a time of reference in the future

let’s watch the following video to learn

more about how to use the perfect future

tense

situation one

group assignment

[Music]

hey jenny alex jack

let’s stay for a while to have a group

meeting

sure

[Music]

i think the topic the teacher gave us is

so difficult

yeah

i think so

um

quite hard

we need to discuss this carefully

it accounts for 20

of our marks this term

our teacher said that we have to make a

short video about the effects of coven

19 on people’s lives

this topic requires a lot of knowledge

about reality from us

do you guys have any ideas

it’s a wide range of aspects we can do i

guess

for example education medical culture

oh

so many

what about others

well

i think so too

oh

why don’t we gather all the ideas from

members and choose the best one

because i think everyone has their own

thought and idea

good idea so can you create a file and

share it for everyone to write the ideas

in it alex

of course

i have a laptop here

i’ll do it right now

okay cool

we will have filled the ideas in the

file by 10 am tomorrow

we should think about the best and

easiest idea to make it as convenient as

possible when recording the video

are you okay

um too early

we won’t have completed it in a short

time

okay how about 12 am

is this enough

good

it’s enough time

and then we give each person a share to

do

for instance general introduction

influence

and some adaptation solutions

the video editing part is also quite

urgent

i can take charge of editing

very cool

so we will have finished this task by 8

pm tomorrow

that’s right

then it’s time to roll up our sleeves

and get the video done

great the location of the video will

have been chosen by 12 am the day after

tomorrow

that’s a great timeline i totally agree

[Music]

that’s good

situation 2

tomorrow presentation

[Music]

tomorrow is the project presentation day

for the partner company

this is really important so we must not

make any mistakes

we all know that so we are prepared

carefully don’t worry

okay good

ah i have just read again the report you

sent me yesterday

overall i think it is quite good full of

content

but i think there are still some small

mistakes

oh god i’m sorry

well

i’ve commented

check it please

and you have to edit as i suggested

check it a few more times to make sure

there aren’t any more mistakes

you will have finished this task by 5 pm

today that means before work

yes i remember that

cool how about the preparation

i need everything to be perfect

yes

i have prepared all cleaning the meeting

room preparing water checking

electricity projectors tables and chairs

[Music]

situation three

[Music]

well to be honest

not good

i feel exhausted because of the workload

at the same time i have to complete the

project in paris and deal with a new

project

[Music]

for you

you should take some rest today and pay

more attention to your health

would you like to come to my home and

have dinner

of course but i don’t have time today

you can come anytime you want

weekday or weekend is still okay

spend one day and chill

share with me everything that makes you

tired

you may be more comfortable after that

thank you so much

i’ll show you my talent in cooking that

day

you’ll be surprised

are you free on the weekend

saturday and sunday this week i will

have been in a meeting in paris

oh

friday

actually

friday evening i will be free but i’ll

be home late from work

i need to prepare something for the

meeting the next day

i won’t be able to help you prepare

dinner

don’t worry about those things

he said i would show off my cooking

skills

just kidding but trust me

but

i feel so shy

hey you can wash the dishes i will have

made the meal ready before the time you

come back from work

[Music]

situation four

when will he have done the deadline

[Music]

hey alex how are you

i’m good because i have finished my part

of our project this morning

now i’m free

how about you

yes yesterday i finished it indeed

finishing the tasks makes me feel over

the moon

yes i agree with you

i wonder if jack and lucy have finished

the lesson yet

i haven’t checked my messages since i

posted my part to the group this morning

so

i don’t know if they’re done or not

well lucy is already done after you

about one hour

and i don’t know what jack is doing

who knows

the deadline is 12 p.m tomorrow right

that’s right

he will not have done this before

tomorrow afternoon i’m sure

oh my god why

you don’t know because this is your

first time you worked with a team with

him

everyone knows he is the person who does

every task at the last minute

ah no not that but

nearly the deadline

why is he always busy

no even if he doesn’t do anything

there’s a lot of time but he still

doesn’t do it

i don’t know why

maybe it is his habit

oh

i think it’s a bad habit

especially when working in a team

this habit will affect other members

he should do it before the deadline a

bit to check in again with others

yes i told him many times before he said

i know i know i will change and nothing

changes

are you sure he will have finished it

yes he will have started to do it by the

afternoon tomorrow

he never misses any deadlines

okay i hope so

perhaps the next time i will set the

deadline earlier

closer to the city center but it’s not

noisy at all

and it’s so convenient that we have

everything from supermarkets the mall

the cinema to restaurants and coffee

shops nearby

yeah it’s great that everything is

within walking distance

moving to this neighborhood is such a

good decision don’t you think honey

such good neighbors nowadays i’m so glad

we moved

while

[Music]

situation three

picking apples

[Music]

honey

you look so good today

thank you

get in let’s go

look honey the leaves are changing their

colors

do you know why it’s called fall

because the leaves fall from the trees

at that time

that’s true

walking among the red leaves is always

an enjoyable experience

[Music]

you can walk and pick apples all day

today

sure

it is the activity i love most in the

fall

arrived

the trees bear good fruits

i swear it always tastes better than

buying in the supermarket

it makes my mouth water

do you know how to choose a perfect

apple

we should focus on the apple’s firmness

avoid apples that are noticeably soft

and mushy

what about color

should be red or have a pink orange hue

okay

we harvested lots of apples

yes

i think i will make some apple cakes

when we return home

great

i love apple cakes

do you want to go around

the weather here is so

wonderful

they always celebrate it once a year

i am so curious

i also want to take part in it

it is tomorrow

however it is monday unfortunately

oh what a pity

i really want to know how they prepare

and celebrate it

if you want to see how to prepare it you

can ask the farm owner

really

yes

he and his family may be cooking some

for the party

tomorrow excuse me

yes did you have a good time today

yes i did

i just want to ask about the festival

tomorrow

films so it’s interesting to spend time

together

i love watching all genres

i try to absorb and enjoy

as many different kinds of films as i

can

see about one or two films a week at

home

after a long day of studying i love

snuggling up on the sofa and watching a

film to relax

i tend to do this on friday and sunday

evenings with my friends

so interesting

what about you kate what do you do in

your free time

unlike you

i like to play tennis in my spare time

i’m okay and you

so am i

do you usually have the weekends off

same as any other company i will have

two days off which is saturday and

sunday

but whenever a new project works i have

to work overtime even on the weekend

so what do you usually do if you get a

break

as usual i often go shopping in the

shopping mall with my mom all morning

walk

do you often hang out with friends

of course

occasionally saturday night i would go

out to eat or drink coffee with a few of

my friends

dialogue 4 conquering the mountain is

very difficult

welcome to our sports news today tom

i’m so glad to be invited here today

as everyone knows you have conquered

mount whitney in california

that’s right

how long have you been climbing the

mountain

it’s been about five years incidentally

five years ago on a flight to new

zealand i watched the film everest

in which adventurers have conquered the

mountain in the blizzard i immediately

wanted to start

climbing so the movie inspired you right

exactly

what is the height of the highest

mountain you have conquered

it’s mount whitney in california the

highest in mainland america at 4

421 meters

that’s great i admire you very much

and when do you usually go climbing on

the mountain

my friends and i formed a climbing team

we are both freelancers so we usually

have a lot of free time

we usually spend the whole of december

climbing

is it difficult

i think it’s very difficult

i think the altitude awful weather and

punishing temperatures all pose a

serious threat to those who want to

submit the mountain

what difficulties do you face

my biggest difficulty when climbing is

about temperature i remember at that

time the temperature dropped to a

negative 20 degrees

there was also a blizzard

that’s terrible

is it dangerous

yes it’s very dangerous for us if we

weren’t careful we would have been swept

away by a blizzard

i took them out to double check the

quantity but

forgot to put them in the bag

mark

i had told you many times

you are so absent-minded

what do we have to do now mark

i don’t want to go back home too early

like this

i’m sorry honey i’ll go deep in the

forest to find wood for making steaks

it will be very dangerous

don’t worry mary i’ll be back as soon as

possible

be careful mark i believe in you

[Music]

mom

do you want to take a short rest here

we finish setting up the table and the

food

that’s a good idea

good job tom and lana

tom

what are you doing there

i’m looking at flowers and

they’re so small

i have a magnifying glass in the back

do you want to use it to see everything

more clearly

[Music]

sounds great lana

please take it out

you and i will explore what insects are

doing here

okay tom

[Music]

do you know what this is

is this a worm

i’m not sure tom

it doesn’t look like a worm

let me ask mom

mom

can you come here for a bit

yes daughter what’s the matter

mom

tom and i are wondering what is this

type of insect

it looks like a worm but

i’m not sure about it

hmm

let me see

oh this is a larva butterfly

have you ever heard about it

is it a little butterfly mom

yes but it looks very ugly right

let me tell you about the butterfly’s

life

[Music]

butterfly’s mom lays many eggs on fresh

green leaves or stems

after a few days

the shell of the egg breaks and a long

worm-like caterpillar comes out

it’s also called larva

oh it’s here

that’s right lana

a larva feeds graciously and grows

quickly in size

once the larva is big enough it stops

eating and enters the transformation

stage

it stops eating anything at this time

after a few days the shell of the pupa

breaks and an adult butterfly comes out

[Music]

wow it’s so amazing

i’m back everyone

yes daddy

could you bring the wood back to make

the camp for us

no i didn’t

sorry son

so

we’ll have to go back home now

we don’t have a place to stay in

haha

surprise

[Music]

where did you get them dad i thought you

left them at

home a long story i was looking for wood

when a snake appeared

it’s too big and terrible

i was so scared and ran as fast as

possible to get rid of the snake

luckily i saw an expedition team in the

distance and ran to them

when i got there i didn’t know that the

snake hadn’t chased me for a while

i told them about the stakes

fortunately they brought two sets of

tents so they accepted to loan me one

steak sat

so let’s make camp everyone

it looks so cool dad

[Music]

yeah let’s grill beef to you will take

beef in the blue bag out

your father and i will prepare for the

grill and seasoning to marinate the meat

yes mom

did you forget to buy coal mark

ah no mary

i will take it out for you

[Music]

i’m so sorry mary

what happened honey

i didn’t bring a lighter how could i be

so bad

oh no mark

i don’t know what to say now

have you searched for it carefully

you may have dropped it somewhere

let’s look one more time

if we don’t have a lighter we can only

make fire by rubbing the stones together

[Music]

it must be flint we don’t have any flint

here

so we should find the lighter first

[Music]

oh my god it’s here

what is here dan

i don’t understand what you had said

where did you get the matches

you are a savior of our family today

i took them from home

what’s the matter dad

i had forgotten the lighter at home so

we don’t have anything to make fire

fortunately now we can use your matches

to grow beef

here you are dan

you’re so absent-minded

mary you don’t need to look for a

lighter

i already have matches here

we can start grilling beef now

wow mark where did you get them

from our daughter lana

she has saved us today

what

let me see it

lana you shouldn’t play with fire it’s

so dangerous

you may get damaged or even make a

forest fire just by a match

how could it mom it’s just a small match

it could it’s the dry season so the fire

is easy to break out and spread

many forest fires caught from the

accident of human

don’t you know that

[Music]

i knew it mom

i will never play fire in the forest

anymore

you’re a good girl lana

oh thank you sweetie let’s grill the

meat now

mom please give me more beef

it’s so yummy today

yes i also feel that tonight’s meal is

so awesome

because today is a long day for everyone

all have to work so hard so i think

you’ll be very hungry

sorry everyone i was so bad today and

made your mom very tired

no problem mark you made today become

one of the most memorable days of our

family

together

yes please mom

it’s weird after finishing eating lana

ran up to her room immediately

it’s close to her favorite movie but she

won’t come down

i don’t know what’s going on here

i think she must have had too much

homework today so

she needs to go up to her room quickly

[Music]

lana

would you like to eat an apple

mom is peeling delicious apples

so

you won’t have any apples to eat if

you’re late in the living room

elena

show you

[Music]

[Applause]

what happened son you look so scared

calm down my boy

dad

lana looks so scared

lana has a scary mask

she wanted to scare me when i went up to

call her down for an apple

[Music]

poor son

is it really that scary

yes dad

i have never seen anything so scary like

this

lana

why did you threaten your brother

did you know that he’s very afraid of

ghosts

i’m sorry dan

i had apologized to tom but he was too

scared

so he ran away from me and told you

i was afraid of being scolded so i

didn’t dare to go downstairs

you need to promise that you won’t tease

tom anymore lana

then everyone will not blame you anymore

yes dad sorry

everyone

i will never tease brother tom anymore

i am so sorry tom

okay lana come here and eat apples with

us

by the way

it’s time for your favorite film

you just threatened me out of my soul

mark look at your daughter she’s naughty

like a boy

dad that’s the mask

it looks really scary

lana

why are you still wearing the mask down

to the living room

i’m so sorry mom dad and tom

i just want to show tom that everything

on this mask is not real

i don’t want tom to still obsess about

this mask

oh lana i blamed you wrong sorry my

daughter

but i still think you should keep this

mask in your room

then you can come down here and enjoy

apples

yes daddy i got it

[Music]

tom

do you want to eat this final cake

i’m full now

no lana

i don’t want to eat your cake

mask he was so scared

tom if you finished your breakfast you

should prepare a school backpack and

clothes to get ready for school

tom

oh sorry mom goodbye mom

bye son bye mark have a good day

thank you honey

[Music]

wow this snake is giant

aren’t you afraid of it tom

i’m not scared

this snake is only in this film

do you think that harry potter can kill

it and save hermione

i hope so tom but he needs a very

powerful weapon

he can’t beat it by hand or magic

chopstick

he has to find it first

he doesn’t know where the snake is

that makes sense lana

mark can you help me to watch this

potato soup for me

it’s almost done but i need to go out

now to receive some important things

okay honey i’m coming now

tom and lana

can you tell me about the missing part

of the movie later

very smart boy

yes lana is a cute girl

ah ben

when are you going to get married

i called to inform you that i’ll get

married to monica next month and the

wedding ceremony will be held at my

house and i would be very happy if you

and your family can attend my wedding

day

congrats ben of course

we will definitely come

[Music]

mark

what’s wrong with my soup pot

ben i have to stop the call now i just

made a big mistake

bye and

hope to see you soon my friend

bye mark

oh no mary

i forgot it i’m so sorry

we can’t eat it anymore mark

what will we use for our meal now

i didn’t mean to do it mary

ben called to inform me about his

wedding next month i was so busy talking

to ben and forgot to look at the soup

[Music]

really mark i’m so glad to hear that

so we will order pizza for our meal

and to congratulate ben

what do you think about it

aren’t you mad at me

i love your idea

okay

let me call pizza for everyone

hurry up mark i think that the children

are very hungry now

okay honey

[Music]

today lana’s teacher was called her

parents to report her mistake in class

watch the video to see why and how her

parents helped lana to realize her

mistake

do you think this word is pineapple

it is a yellow fruit and pineapple chunk

that can be used in desserts such as

fruit salads or cake

that’s right lana

let’s see the next word

this fruit grows on vines can be eaten

raw or cooked

and can be made into lots of things like

jam

juice

vinegar and oil

its name has five characters

is that pumpkin lana

i don’t think so

we make vinegar from pumpkin

also pumpkin has seven characters in it

what about grape lana

yeah i think it must be the correct

answer

you’re right tom

grape is a reasonable answer for this

word

only two words left we’ll finish all the

crosswords about fruit

i don’t know if mom and dad have

finished preparing dinner yet

i’m feeling a bit hungry now

yes tom

i’m also curious about what we’re going

to eat tonight

why is dad in the kitchen with mom today

i have no idea lana

i think we should focus on the two final

words here

i won’t win this game now

okay tom

it’s done mary

i washed and arranged all the

ingredients needed to make the pizza as

you said

thanks mark

can you help me to go out and buy some

drinks to have with the pizza

i’ll make the rest of the pizza and bake

it

of course mary i’ll buy a coke for you

and the kids

by the way do you want to drink beer

we haven’t drunk it in a long time

that’s a great idea honey

and remember to buy chili sauce the

chili sauce at home is gone

okay sweetie

i’ll go now

mark someone is calling for you

let me see

it’s lana’s teacher

i think she is called to report her

school results

let me answer the phone

hello mrs anne i’m lana’s father

hi mr mark how are you

i wanted to tell you a little bit about

lana’s situation in class

yes i’m not busy now i’m ready to listen

actually lana is quite naughty in class

these days

could you tell me a little more detail

what did she do at school

lana often teases her friends in

class she hides in the wall with a mask

and jumps out to scare her friends

some of them are startled and run away

or even fall

[Music]

oh no i’m so sorry about that

i already reminded her in front of the

class

but i still want her parents to know and

remind her a little more so that lana

realizes what she did wrong

that’s why i called you today

we’ll talk to lana right now

thank you teacher and hope you will help

lana more in class

i just wanted to inform you about it

elana is studying very well and

concentrating so

i’ll hang up the phone now goodbye mr

mark

a goodbye mrs anne

so

mary do you understand the situation

yes i got it i think you should talk to

lana

she was closer to you and listened more

to you

you should explain to her why she

shouldn’t tease you with masks anymore

at that time let me buy a drink and

chili sauce for you i believe you honey

okay i’ll talk to lana now

[Music]

lana

can you go to my room now

i want to talk to you for a while

yes dad i’m coming

so lana

did you often use the ghost mask to

scare your classmates

your teacher told me about it

and she was sad about you

she really doesn’t want you to do it

anymore

i’m sorry dad

i so regret doing that

you shouldn’t tease them too much or

they’ll be scared

if you want to tease your friends

they’ll gradually hate you

and stop playing with you

you’ll be very lonely then

[Music]

lana i am a bit sad when the teacher

calls and tells me about your mistake

promise me you’ll never do that to your

friends again

yes dad i promise

i believe you my good daughter

i will apologize to my friends tomorrow

and bring my candies for them

i think they’ll forgive me soon

that’s a good idea lana

dad where’s mom

i’m so hungry right now

she’s gone to the mini mart to buy some

things for dinner

do you want to play the spider-man game

tom yay i love the spiderman game

dad

lift me up there

okay tom

you shoot the thread and i’ll take you

where you want to be

[Music]

and

i also want to play a spider-man game

tom it’s your sister’s turn you’ve been

playing for a while so

take a break

yes dad

i will let lana become spider-man

and i’m iron man now

i can fire by my hand and i also have

iron armor

but you can’t fly like me

[Music]

flying is boring

now

i prefer to walk and fight with the

enemy

you’re so smart tom

oh

mom is back

yes i bought coke for you and lana

who wants to eat pizza tonight

really mom

we love pizza

okay just wait for me a few minutes

i had baked the pizza in the microwave

before i went out

and i think it’s ready to eat now

yay

let’s eat pizza

[Music]

tom and lana you too have to wash your

hands carefully before eating

then please help me to bring the food to

the living room

today we’ll have dinner and watch a

movie
