Yeah, it's definitely her because I was impressed with her outfit. You're right. She wears all black. She also looks very cold. Yep, I completely agree with you. Hey, Sam, what are you thinking? Well, she looks familiar. I think I've seen her somewhere before. Really? Ah, I remember. I met her five days ago. Where? I met her near my house, but I don't have a good impression of her. Why do you say that? You know, I saw her smashing some kid's stuff, and that kid cried out loud. Gosh! She seems to be an unkind and mean person. Yeah, she does. Okay, everyone, keep silent.

Well, we don't talk much. She seems pretty quiet. You're right. I don't find her to be sociable. She doesn't talk to anyone in class. She also rarely smiles. She looks so cold. I feel frozen when I look into her eyes. She is really cold. I have tried many times to start a conversation, but to no avail. Tomorrow it's our turn to clean the classroom. And I don't know what will happen. Maybe a long silence. I think so too. It's almost time for class. Let's go back. Okay. See you now. Goodbye. See you tomorrow. See ya. Good luck to you.

I will report this to the principal. Come on, Tina. She's a bad person. We shouldn't care about her anymore. She's not as bad as you say. Ha, she threatened you, didn't she? I'll protect you. Don't worry, Mina. She is so mean. No, no. You know, yesterday she even made me clean the classroom by myself. Tina, listen. It was Cindy who protected me from being bullied. Really?

I know you're not that kind of person. You were very brave when you stood up to protect Mina. Thank you. But why didn't you explain? At that time, I was also very angry because I was misunderstood. Once again, I'm sorry. I also want to say I'm sorry to you. Sorry for what? For leaving suddenly and leaving you to clean the classroom alone. May I ask why you left so suddenly? Well, because yesterday my grandma fell. Sorry to hear that. My neighbors called the teacher and told him that my grandmother had fallen. So I rushed home. So how is your grandmother now? Fortunately, my grandmother didn't have a bad fall. The doctor said she just needs to rest for a few days. Thank God. Anyway, do you live with your grandmother? Yeah, since I was little. Oh, really? Yeah, my mom and my dad were constantly fighting. I tried to stop them arguing and stop them from fighting, but nobody cared about what I had to say. The one person that did care about me was my grandmother. She loves me a lot. Then they divorced, and since then, I have lived with my grandmother. Your grandmother is a wonderful person. Yeah. My grandmother is the whole world to me. So I rushed home after hearing that she had fallen. I also love my grandmother very much. Anyway, next time I will clean the classroom for you. No, next time let's do it together. Okay. By the way, I heard Sam talk about you bullying a kid. Well, at that time I hated you. Well, that kid stole a toy from the store. Then I found it. And he cried. So everyone thought I bullied that boy. Turns out I misunderstood you all this time. By the way, you look beautiful when you smile. Thank you very much. Be more sociable with people. Everyone in the class really likes you too. Yeah, I know. It's lunchtime. Let's go to the canteen. I'll treat you to lunch. Hey. We also want to be treated to lunch. Hmm, let me think.

I heard that their kimchi is delicious! As you wish. I will learn how to cook Korean food. Retirement Here you are. What is this?

The book that you wanted to borrow from me last time. Ah, right. Thank you so much.

I'll have finished this book by tomorrow night. Sure. Have you heard anything about Alex?

I haven't seen him for a long time. I just met him at the park yesterday. How is he these days?

He will have retired from his job by this time next year. Oh. How old is he?

He's 65 years old. Do you have his phone number? I haven't seen him in a long time, so I really want to see him. Yes, I have his phone number. Future Perfect Continuous At the University Hey Jack, what are you doing here?

I'm looking for an apartment to rent. An apartment for rent? I'm at my uncle's house, but it's so far away. I need to find an apartment closer to this university.

How long have you been living with your uncle? I will have been living with him for one year by the end of the semester. Actually, I'm looking for an apartment too. Do you want to share an apartment with me? Cool!

It seems that sharing an apartment with you may work. What do you think about this apartment? So-so.

My new house. Hello. What are you doing? I'm cooking.

What's up? Would you like to come to my new house for a housewarming party this weekend? Oh, I'd love to, but I can't. Are you busy this weekend? Yes.

I'll be volunteering with my team in Africa this weekend. When do you come back? Maybe I'll return in two months?

Okay. I will have been living in my new house for two months by the time you return. When I return, I will visit your new house. Take care of yourself.

Give me a call when you return. I'd love to hear about your trip. Sure. Past future tense. Yes, I would.

What are you holding in your hand? A lottery ticket. Oh!

When did you buy it? I bought it yesterday. Have you checked the lottery yet? Not yet.

Would you travel around the world if you won a lottery? Yes, I would. You know, I love to travel. I know. What would you do if you won the lottery?

Let me think. I would give my family 25% of that money. And I would give an orphanage near my house 25% of it. The rest I would save and would invest in my business plan. That's a good plan.

You should see the dentist. Would you like some chocolate? No, thanks.

Why? You like chocolate so much. Not today.

I have a toothache. Oh, I didn't know. Are you okay?

I'm not sure. It really hurt now. You should see the dentist. We have an important lesson this afternoon. I can't go now.

If I were you, I would see the dentist. I'll write the lesson carefully and let you borrow my notebook. Thank you. I will call my mother and ask her to take me to the dentist.

Yeah, you should go. Past, future, continuance, tense. My laptop is broken. Hi Steven.

Hey, what's up? Can I borrow your laptop? My laptop? Or do you have any laptops you don't use right now that I can borrow? Yes, I have.

Take this one. Thanks a ton. Where is your laptop?

My laptop is broken. It's at the electronics store now. That's not good at all. Yes, all my documents are in there. I hope my laptop would be repaired at around 8 tomorrow morning.

Just use mine until it got fixed. Hope that there would be no problem fixing it. You should prepare for the worst situations. You're right. I'll find a way to make copies of my documents.

Okay. Tell me if you need anything else. Okay.

Thanks again. You're welcome. At the hospital.

Hey, Ben. Hey. How are you?

Not bad. How is your ankle? Is it better? Yes, it's less painful than yesterday. So, how did that happen?

Well, I was having a call while going down the stair. Suddenly, my dog ran by and I tripped over him. Oh no! I fell to the floor and my ankle twisted. Luckily, my mom was home that day, so she took me to the hospital right away.

What an incident! I really want to go back to school. Our school football team is currently playing against other school teams in the area.

I know. I would be playing football right now if my ankle wasn't broken. Did the doctor say when your ankle will fully recover? Two weeks.

Then I can play football. Take care. Get well soon. Past, future, perfect tense. What a pity.

David, how was your picnic with Linda? I wasn't able to have a picnic with her. Why? Because of the rain. We would have had a picnic if it hadn't rained.

Let's plan another day. Absolutely. Did you see Jonas Brown Jr. yesterday?

Jonas? Who is that? Jonas Brown Jr.

He wrote his own music and sang it. He's been very popular lately. Of course, I know him.

I really like his music. Why did he come here? I heard he signed an advertising contract with us. I was off yesterday. What a pity.

If I hadn't been absent yesterday, I would have met him. You should have told me. Why do you look so sad?

Anna and I argued yesterday. She got angry and left. She didn't take my calls all day. What happened? We didn't agree with each other on choosing a tourist destination.

Traveling is fun. Why argue? If I had agreed with her, we wouldn't have argued.

What is this? That's your jacket. Ah, a jacket. Time for lunch.

Wait. This is the jacket I left at Anna's house. She just came here to return your jacket.

Anna came here? Yes, she gave me the bag and left. You should have told me. I just did. I must go.

Maybe she is still around here. Past, future, perfect, continuous, tense. A regret. Hello, Peter.

It's Hannah. Hi. How are you? Never better. What about you?

Where are you in Japan? Japan? I'm still in New York. Last month you said you would change jobs.

You would apply to Sakura Company. That's right. I didn't apply to that company.

I applied to another company. Oh, what a pity. Why? That company is sending new employees to Japan for training for about three months. Oh, really?

I could have been staying in Japan if I had taken that job. Yeah, you could have been staying here. I have just called the police. What are you doing? Don't you see?

Cleaning the house. For what? Why are you so hurry?

I forgot to tell you, my sister Ava will come here today. Why? She comes to visit me.

She hasn't come here before. Oh dear, when will she come? Why can you forget to tell me that important thing?

Huh? You should tell me we can tidy the house. You see, it's so messy.

It's okay. Don't worry. No way.

We haven't cleaned the house for a week. Right. We should do it now.

I have cleaned the kitchen. You can clean up the living room and toilet. So what will you do?

Have you taken out the trash? No, I haven't. So I will do it.

Okay. What about washing dishes? I have told you that I did everything in the kitchen. Ah, sure.

Wait a minute. Who is calling? My sister. She said she was already there. What?

She has come really early. Right? She arrived two hours earlier than expected.

Yes, but there is one thing. What is that? I have another appointment with my doctor now and I can't come and pick her up.

Can you help me pick her up? Okay. Where is she?

She is waiting in a cafe shop near the station. But how can I realize her? Because I haven't met her in real life.

Do you have any pictures of her? Well, actually... I don't have.

But I think it's easy to know who she is. How? Ah, here. She has sent me the address of the cafe shop she is sitting.

Great. Send it to me. Is this next to the station? Exactly.

And she is pretty tall, but still shorter than us. She has long, reddish-brown hair. Okay, I will go now. I'm just afraid that because I haven't seen her before, I can't realize her.

Don't worry. Hi. Hi.

Are you waiting for someone? Yeah. And you?

Me too. Oh, now we have something in common. Can we have coffee together?

Okay. Can I know your name? You can call me Kate. I'm Ava.

Oh, Ava, do you recognize that we have the same hair color, the same bag, and styles? Exactly. If anyone doesn't know, they will think we are twins or best friends.

But who will come pick you up? I asked my brother to come, but he is busy right now and asks his friend to pick me up. So, are you waiting for your brother's friend?

Right. I'm waiting for my brother, and I have waited for him for nearly one hour. Oh, dear.

Oh, my phone. Hi. When will you come?

I'm waiting for you at a coffee shop near the station. Ah, my friend Luke is quite near you. I have asked him to come and take you to the A.V. department building.

Wait for him. Is that okay? Okay, but what is his name?

And the name of the building? Luke. And A.B. Department Building. Luke?

Okay, I remember. I have something to do at this building, and I haven't finished it yet. Okay, I got it. Luke?

My brother's friend is Luke as well. Really? It's interesting. And A.B. Department is quite familiar, but I don't remember exactly my destination.

I'll be right back. Sure. Oh, hi, I'm Luke, your brother's friend. Your brother hasn't completed his work, so he asked me to take you to AB Department Building.

Ah, my brother has told me about you. I'm... Oh, it's nearly late right now.

Sorry, but because I have some things that needed to be done later... Can we go right now? But... Please wait for me at the station entrance. I'll help you get your bag.

Okay. What? Where is my bag? I have lost my bag. I'm at the cafe shop next to the station.

Can you help me? Hey, Levi, I've already picked up your sister. That's great. Where is she? Here.

Didn't you realize your sister? He is not my brother. Huh? Right, she is not my sister. What happened?

I met her at the cafe shop near the station, as you said. She looks like you described. But you have picked up the wrong person.

Well, there's a girl who has hair color like mine. Maybe she is your sister? Do you know her name? Ava.

Oh, that's right. She is my sister. Sorry, I've realized the wrong person. Excuse me, please follow us to the police station. Because we suspect you were involved in a bag lost at the cafe shop.

Levi? Ava? Why are you here?

I've just called the police because I lost my bag. I've asked Luke, my friend, to pick you up, but he realized the wrong girl. This girl.

She is Kate. She waited for someone with me at the coffee shop. Okay, I understand this situation.

I got it. Because they have the same destination, and the person who came to pick us up is named Luke. Even though their appearance is quite similar.

I've got the wrong person. That's right. Excuse me. After coming here, I realized this was just a situation of misunderstanding. I think I have found my bag.

Thank you so much. Okay. Kate, sorry about that. Don't worry.

I understand. At the cafe shop, we have mentioned that someone will think we are twins because we are pretty similar. Yeah, because when I came, I was pretty in a hurry, so I haven't asked your name.

It's my fault. I have known that Ava was waiting for Luke, but I haven't talked to you to check. So, okay, everything is clear.

When will your brother's friend come? Oh, my phone is ringing. Are you Kate?

My name is Luke, your brother's friend. Yes, I'm Kate. Yeah, he hasn't finished his work. So he asked me to come here.

Yeah, he has called me before. Why aren't you at the cafe shop? Uh, a small problem has happened, but it's okay now. Good. Where are you now?

I'll send you the address, and we can talk later. Is it okay? Okay.

I think you will pick me up soon. Bye, Kate. Bye-bye.

But it's still dark outside! It's winter. Of course it's dark.

Oh, no! I have an exam today! Come on!

Be quick! I won't wait for you! The school bus will come soon! Okay!

Okay! Why is it so noisy? Who turned the light on? Do you think Jeremy is sleepwalking again? Let's check.

Who's that? Jeremy? Yes, Mom?

What are you doing? I'm brushing my teeth. What?

I'm preparing for going to school. What are you talking about? What's wrong, Mom?

I'm late. Are you okay? It's 3 a.m. in the morning.

But, but... Why did you wake up? Josh woke me up.

Josh? Where is he? Yes, he was in my room and said I was late. It's 7.45 AM.

Let's go and see him. He's not here. He was here when I went to the bathroom. Let's check his room.

He is sleeping. He is pretending. Don't come in. Let him sleep.

No, he woke me up for real. Are you sure you were not sleepwalking? Yes, I'm sure. Don't you believe me? Well, go back to sleep now.

Next time, at least check your clock. Okay, Mom. I will take revenge, Josh.

Hey, Jennifer, what's up? Hi, Josh. What are you doing?

Hello? What's wrong? I'm just taking a nap. Why are you laughing? My mom asked me to go over and give your family some cookies she just made.

Okay. Uh, thank you, Jennifer. Do you want to come in?

Oh, no thanks. I want to walk around for a bit. Oh.

Do you mind if I go with you? I don't mind. But are you sure you want to go out like that?

Go out like what? Check yourself in the mirror, Josh. Um, okay then. So, I will go now, Josh.

See you. See you, Jennifer. Oh, what's wrong with my face?

Ah, Jeremy! Jeremy, you like being spanked, don't you? You pranked me first the other day! Now I took revenge!

Haha! Who pranked you? You were sleepwalking! You know the best who is the bad guy!

That's the way I teach you how to watch a clock! So you admit it now? You know who just came over? It's Jennifer!

Jennifer! Oh, your crush Jennifer? Haha! I have to beat you up!

She laughed at me so hard! You must feel embarrassed now, right bro? Stop!

If I catch you, you're done! That's how I teach you a lesson! Don't ever prank me again! What are you doing?

Stop chasing others in the house! Mom, look what he did to me! Oh!

Why are you laughing? You need to scold him. He drew on my face when I was taking a nap. Jeremy, don't make fun of others while they're sleeping, okay?

Yes, Mom. Josh, have you heard what Mom said? You just wait.

He really woke me up at 3 a.m. the other day. Okay.

Okay, you two both have to stop this prank game. It's not funny. Yes, Mom.

What should we not eat? Hey John! It's noon, time for lunch. Ugh, this report made me forget that it's noon now. What are you going to have for lunch?

I have no idea. Hello guys! Let's have lunch together.

What are you guys going to have for lunch? Linda and I will have Chinese food for lunch. Chinese food?

That sounds delicious. I really like Chinese food. Me too. It suits my taste.

Do you want to eat with us? Yes, I do. Would you like to join us, John?

Ah, thank you. I prepared lunch this morning before leaving home. He prepares lunch and brings it to the company every day.

Wow, you are so diligent. What do you have for lunch today? Today, I have baked ribs. Wow, it looks yummy.

And I have the cream of mushroom soup. Do you smell anything? Yes, I do.

The soup has a rancid smell. What? It's spoiled. Why is it rancid? I plan to put it in the fridge and reheat it when I eat it.

But I forgot to put it in the fridge. Don't eat it. It's not good for your stomach. Yes, it may lead to digestive issues. You may have diarrhea.

That's a bad thing. I don't eat this soup. Would you like to eat Chinese food with us? Nah, I still have baked ribs. You will be hungry if you just eat that.

It's okay. Okay, see you. John, would you like to have coffee with us?

I'm afraid I can't. Why? I'm busy now.

You work hard, but you also need a rest. Actually, I'm planning to propose to my girlfriend tonight. You know, it's so many things to do. Really? Yes, I'm so nervous.

It's so romantic. Good luck to you. Best of luck.

Good luck with that. Thank you. Oh, my stomach is growling.

Should I eat it? Maybe it'll be fine if I reheat it. Oh no, my belly.

You must be Johnson Cohen? Please, call me John. You must be Mr. Andrew?

Yes, sorry John, I'm late. Never mind, sit down. Would you like something to drink?

Yes, some coffee would be nice. Waitress, a cup of coffee, please? Yes, sir.

How long have you worked at Clinton Company? About four years, sir. How do you like it? It's a good job, and the products that I sell to you are also very good.

Great. I hear that your company is very large. Yes, it's an international company.

It has customers in more than seven countries. That's amazing. Oh no, my stomach again. Can we start?

Wait a minute, sir. I'll see if your coffee is ready. No, it's okay.

A big deal needs a coffee. Okay. I had my coffee, and where were you? Sorry, sir.

We can start now. Okay. I don't have much time.

What is this page about? It is about our product list. And how about this page? This page lists all of the advantages your company will receive when you use our products. Great.

Please, not now. Please, tell me more details. Sure, sir.

I can't stand it. Sorry, sir. I'll be back in a minute. Sorry, sir. I don't have much time.

Please, hurry up. Sure. This page is a report about the new high technology that we use to research and develop our products.

Good. And I... Are you okay? I'm so sorry.

My stomach is uncomfortable. Okay. I think we should talk later and you should go to see the doctor now.

John, where are you? What did you do? Andrew called me and complained a lot.

I'm so sorry. He is a big and potential customer. Come back here, now.

Yes. Just wait here a moment, Judy. I'll be right back. Okay, I'm waiting for you.

Are you okay? Yes, I'm okay. Do you remember the first time we met? How can I forget? Yes, at that time I was like an idiot.

I was so nervous when I asked for your phone number. Aw, it's cute. Do you remember our first date? Yes. You put salt in your coffee instead of sugar.

Haha. And on a trip to Hawaii, we danced with the locals together. Let's go there again when we have free time. Yeah. It's nice to talk to you like this.

We rarely see each other these days. I'm so sorry. I've been very busy with work lately. No, it's okay.

I can understand. Thank you, Judy. Oh no, I think it's coming again.

Shall we order? Just wait a moment. I'll be back right away. Something's wrong? No, don't worry.

I shouldn't have eaten that soup. It was rancid. Is Judy as mad at me as Mr. Andrew is? Ugh, my belly.

What's wrong with him? Hello. I will be your waitress today. Are you ready to order now? I will wait until my friend comes back.

Yes, sure. I'm always ready whenever you need me. Thank you. 30 minutes later.

Where is he? Hey, look at that girl over there. She looks so beautiful.

i know but she booked a large dining table sat there for more than thirty minutes and still did not order can i get you any drinks while you are waiting thank you but i will wait for him to come back sure She's trying to call someone. Poor beautiful girl. Be quiet.

Judy? May I help you, sir? Do you know where the girl sitting here is?

I don't know. I asked her if she wanted to order and she said to wait for someone to come back. And then she went somewhere.

Is it you? Yes, it's me. I booked this table in preparation to propose to her. She has been waiting for you for a long time.

Where is she? Sorry, but I don't know. Where are you?

Why not answer the phone? Why make me wait so long? I'm gone. Don't look for me.

I'll never eat rancid food again. Yes, you shouldn't eat it. Judy? Here you are. What is it?

It helps reduce diarrhea. How do you know? As I was leaving angrily, I went to the WC. I saw you touching your belly and running into the WC, so...

I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting. It's okay. You are the reason for whom my heart beat. You were everything to me. Judy, will you marry me?

Clap your hands. Alright, this is Cindy. Cindy, please introduce yourself. Thank you, teacher.

Hello, everyone. My name is Cindy. I have just moved to this city a few days ago and hope that we can soon get along well.

Hey! I met her this morning. Oh really?

Yeah, it's definitely her because I was impressed with her outfit. You're right. She wears all black.

She also looks very cold. Yep, I completely agree with you. Hey, Sam, what are you thinking?

Well, she looks familiar. I think I've seen her somewhere before. Really? Ah, I remember.

I met her five days ago. Where? I met her near my house, but I don't have a good impression of her.

Why do you say that? You know, I saw her smashing some kid's stuff, and that kid cried out loud. Gosh! She seems to be an unkind and mean person. Yeah, she does.

Okay, everyone, keep silent. Now, Cindy, come and sit with Tina. She is at the last table of the center column. Yes, sir.

Okay, everyone, let's make beautiful memories together. Open your textbooks, page 46. Hello, Cindy. Why did you come so early today?

I always go to school early. Oh, have you had breakfast yet? I already had breakfast. I heard there's a basketball game this afternoon.

Do you want to come and watch it? No. Oh, okay.

Anyway, how do you usually get to school? By bus. Is your house far from the school? Yes.

Have you done your homework yet? Yes. It's break time!

Come on, let's go to the canteen. Yes, come on Sam, come with us. Okay, I'm coming. What shall we have? I want cake.

I want milk. Okay. By the way, are you and your new friend okay? Well, we don't talk much.

She seems pretty quiet. You're right. I don't find her to be sociable. She doesn't talk to anyone in class.

She also rarely smiles. She looks so cold. I feel frozen when I look into her eyes. She is really cold. I have tried many times to start a conversation, but to no avail.

Tomorrow it's our turn to clean the classroom. And I don't know what will happen. Maybe a long silence. I think so too.

It's almost time for class. Let's go back. Okay. See you now. Goodbye.

See you tomorrow. See ya. Good luck to you. Hope everything goes well.

Try to start a lot of conversations with new friends. Okay, okay, bye. Hey, Cindy? What's up? Today it's our turn to clean the classroom.

Oh, really? Yeah, where are you going? Well, I'm really sorry. I'm busy today.

I can't stay and clean the classroom with you. Hey, wait, wait! You can't leave like that! Cindy, come back! Damn it.

She's the meanest person I've ever met. The weather is so beautiful today. I wish I could go out instead of going to school. What's that noise? Cindy, is that you?

Hey Mina, why are you crying? Tina! Did you bully Nina? Calm down, Tina.

It's not what you think. You don't have to defend her. No.

No, Tina. Calm down. I have seen you bully her with my own eyes. You are a bad person. I will report this to the principal.

Come on, Tina. She's a bad person. We shouldn't care about her anymore.

She's not as bad as you say. Ha, she threatened you, didn't she? I'll protect you.

Don't worry, Mina. She is so mean. No, no.

You know, yesterday she even made me clean the classroom by myself. Tina, listen. It was Cindy who protected me from being bullied. Really? Are you telling the truth?

She didn't hit you? No, she protected me from being bullied. God, I blamed her. That's right, you should apologize to her. You're right.

By the way, are you okay? Yeah, everything is okay. You know, Cindy is very brave. She dared to argue with the thugs.

She threatened to call the police. Maybe I was wrong about her. Yes, we were wrong to think she was mean.

Well, Cindy, I have something to tell you. Yes? About this morning, I want to apologize to you. I misunderstood you. It's okay.

People always think I'm mean. No, no. I know you're not that kind of person. You were very brave when you stood up to protect Mina. Thank you.

But why didn't you explain? At that time, I was also very angry because I was misunderstood. Once again, I'm sorry.

I also want to say I'm sorry to you. Sorry for what? For leaving suddenly and leaving you to clean the classroom alone.

May I ask why you left so suddenly? Well, because yesterday my grandma fell. Sorry to hear that. My neighbors called the teacher and told him that my grandmother had fallen. So I rushed home.

So how is your grandmother now? Fortunately, my grandmother didn't have a bad fall. The doctor said she just needs to rest for a few days. Thank God. Anyway, do you live with your grandmother?

Yeah, since I was little. Oh, really? Yeah, my mom and my dad were constantly fighting.

I tried to stop them arguing and stop them from fighting, but nobody cared about what I had to say. The one person that did care about me was my grandmother. She loves me a lot. Then they divorced, and since then, I have lived with my grandmother. Your grandmother is a wonderful person.

Yeah. My grandmother is the whole world to me. So I rushed home after hearing that she had fallen. I also love my grandmother very much.

Anyway, next time I will clean the classroom for you. No, next time let's do it together. Okay. By the way, I heard Sam talk about you bullying a kid. Well, at that time I hated you.

Well, that kid stole a toy from the store. Then I found it. And he cried.

So everyone thought I bullied that boy. Turns out I misunderstood you all this time. By the way, you look beautiful when you smile. Thank you very much. Be more sociable with people.

Everyone in the class really likes you too. Yeah, I know. It's lunchtime.

Let's go to the canteen. I'll treat you to lunch. Hey. We also want to be treated to lunch.

Hmm, let me think. I have an idea. What?

Can we go visit Cindy's grandmother? That is a great idea. Is that okay, Cindy?

Of course. My grandma will be very happy. Grandma always says I should bring my friends home to hang out, but my personality is so difficult so I've never had close friends before. Okay, so after school we'll go to Cindy's house.

Great! We have found a new roomie. Present perfect tense. Hey! Come in!

Why are you so late? Your house is only 200 meters from here. We brought some snacks.

Do you want to eat and watch a movie? That's a great idea! Come in! John, why don't you close the window?

We are using air conditioner, you know. Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot it. John, come join us. I will join later.

Oops! Why is the bathroom so wet? Ah, I am cleaning the bathroom.

Hey, don't use that towel. You can use a mop. It will be better. Where is it?

I have never seen it before. Oh my. It is on the balcony always.

Why have you asked such a question like that? Okay, I know now. John, you have a phone call.

John! Coming! John, the floor has been dirty again. Oh, why is that? It's you.

You have worn the dirty slippers on the floor. Oh, no. I didn't notice. You are always like that. I can't understand.

Come on, Jack. Calm down. Yeah, he didn't do it on purpose. Don't be so mean. That might hurt his feelings.

If I were you, I would gently remind him. It is one better way. He may be a clumsy person.

I have been patient with him since the first day, but he has never changed. Maybe he needs some time. You should stay with John for one week. No, only one day. You will understand why I reacted like that.

Hey John. Hey. Why are you standing here? I have forgotten my keys. I am waiting for Jack.

How long have you stayed here? I don't know exactly. I have been here for a while.

Have you contacted Jack yet? I have tried, but his phone is busy all the time. Maybe he was having a meeting. Yeah, he has been super busy recently. You can't just wait here.

I don't know where Iz should go. The best option is to wait for Jack. But he hasn't even answered your phone yet. Hey, he is calling. Hi, Jack.

Hey, John. I am on a sudden business trip right now. I will be back the day after tomorrow.

Take care. Jack! Hey!

He hung up. What did he say? He said he's on a business trip and won't be back until the end of tomorrow.

That's bad. Oh my God. I don't know what to do now. Where will I stay tonight?

Would you like to come to my home? That's right. You can be there until Jack is back. Is that okay?

Yeah. Thank you guys so much. Wow! Your decorations are so lovely.

Thank you. Make yourself at home. How long have you rented this apartment?

For about three months, I think. You have never come here before, right? Yeah, this is my first time.

This will be your room. You know, I can sleep on the sofa in the living room. Nah, it's uncomfortable. You can stay here.

Thank you. This is the bathroom and your bath towels. But remember to put it in the basket after using it.

Okay, sure. And the kitchen. You can cook or use foods in the refrigerator.

Most of them are fast food, but they are pretty good. I know. You are so kind. Tom, why is the towel here? I don't know.

I have just cleaned up this afternoon. Maybe it's John's? Hmm.

I have reminded him many times today. He's so absent-minded. I will tell him to collect it. What is that noise?

Oh my God. He has been playing music for two hours. He is a night owl. I'm getting uncomfortable. So do I.

David, is that you? Quickly, I need to use it. Hey, why are you so loud?

Oh, I thought you were in the bathroom. No, I have just woke up. It must be John.

What took him so long? How long have you waited? I have been waiting for him for over 30 minutes.

I'm going to be late for work. Hey, why are you guys here? Do you know how long you have been in there?

I'm not sure. Are you waiting for me? Yeah, I have waited for you for over 30 minutes. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm gonna be late. I am making some breakfast. Do you want to have some? No, I'm fine. By the way, John, have we told you to put the towels in the basket?

Oh, my bad, I forgot. Your towel has been laid in the living room since yesterday. I will clean up now, no worries.

Yeah, please. Hey, John has many bad habits. Yeah, I understand why Jack has behaved like that. I never want to have a roommate like him.

Me too. By the way, my cousin is coming by today. Great. I haven't seen him for a long time. If he wants, he can stay with us for the weekends.

Yeah. Are you looking for a roommate? Um...

Yeah, I have just stayed at your house for a short time, but I feel this house is quite good. You guys are good roommates also. If possible, can I move in?

What about Jack? We have lived together for six months, but he is always angry with me. I have wanted to move out many times, but I haven't found a suitable place.

Oh yeah, I understand. You guys are so kind. I think we can happily live together. Actually... I think Mike comes.

Hi, Mike. Come in. Hi.

Long time no see, brother. Listen, Mike, help me to make a play. A play? Yeah.

Mike, don't touch it. Hey, your slippers. Close the door when leaving the room.

Have you done yet? Hurry. Why are you so different?

I think you guys are rarely angry. No, actually, you are our guest. But he is going to be my roommate. We need to be strict.

Is everything alright? Oh, it's okay. Do you want to move in? We can consider.

I have lived with Jack for a few months, so I need to consider more. Thanks anyway. Don't forget to practice your English every day to improve your English level.
