Receptionist: Good morning, this is Sunny Leisure Centre. How can I help you?

Alex: Hi, I was wondering about the fitness classes you offer.

Receptionist: Sure thing! We have classes for different ages. How old are you?

Alex: I’m 25.

Receptionist: Great! We have classes for adults. We’ve got yoga, aerobics, and dance classes. Which one are you interested in?

Alex: I’d like to try aerobics.

Receptionist: Perfect! The first class is on the 3^rd of September. Oh, and the best part is, your first class is free.

Alex: That’s fantastic! How do I sign up?

Receptionist: Just come to the leisure centre, fill out a form, and you’re good to go. Can I get your name?

Alex: It’s Alex Turner.

Receptionist: Thanks, Alex! We look forward to having you in our aerobics class.

Alex: Thanks a lot! Bye!

Jake: Hey, Emma! What do you usually do after school?

Emma: Oh, hey Jake! I usually go home and do my homework first. What about you?

Jake: Yeah, me too. Homework is a must. But after that, I love playing video games for a bit.

Emma: Cool! Do you have other favorites?

Jake: Yeah, I’m really into that adventure game with the superheroes. It’s so much fun!

Emma: Nice! I haven’t tried that one yet. Maybe I should check it out. Besides games, what else do you do?

Jake: Well, I also enjoy riding my bike around the neighborhood. It’s a lot of fun, especially with my friends.

Emma: That sounds awesome! I like riding my skateboard sometimes. We should do that together!

Jake: Totally! And, on weekends, I usually go to the park to play soccer with my family.

Emma: Soccer is great! I play with my brother too. Do you have any other favorite things to do?

Jake: Hmm, I love drawing. I have a sketchbook, and I doodle all sorts of things in it.

Emma: That’s cool! I like drawing too, especially cartoons. Maybe we could draw something together sometime.

Jake: Yeah, that would be awesome! We have so much to do after school.

Emma: Definitely! Let’s make plans to play video games and draw together soon, Jake!

Jake: Sounds like a plan, Emma! See you tomorrow!

Sarah: Hey, Minh! Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up.

Minh: Hi, Sarah! I know, I am so excited.

Sarah: How does your family celebrate it?

Minh: We usually enjoy mooncakes and light lanterns together.

Sarah: That sounds fun! Do you have any special traditions?

Minh: Yes, we often tell traditional stories about the moon. We also watch the lion dance.

Sarah: Nice!

Minh: What about you?

Sarah: In my family, we make homemade mooncakes and have a little outdoor picnic with lanterns. It’s such a beautiful time.

Minh: You’re right! The Mid-Autumn Festival is all about family, food, and celebrating under the moonlight.

Sarah: I love the idea of celebrating under the moon. It makes the festival feel magical.

Minh: Absolutely! It’s a time to appreciate the beauty of the moon and enjoy the company of loved ones.

Alex: Maria, I’m fascinated by the customs in this country. It’s so different from back home.

It took me a while to get used to it, but now I find it quite endearing.

Alex: And did you notice how important it is to take off your shoes before entering someone’s home?

Maria: Absolutely. It’s a small gesture, but it speaks volumes about their values. Oh, and the tea ceremony – it’s like an art form here.

Alex: True. It’s not just about the drink; it’s a whole experience. I also found it interesting that it’s considered impolite to point at people. Instead, they use their whole hand to gesture.

Maria: Yes, I learned that the hard way. I accidentally pointed at someone on my first day here, and they looked so shocked. Now I’m extra careful with my gestures.

Alex: And the festivals, the way they celebrate with such vibrant colors and traditional dances is a sight to behold.

Maria: I love how they embrace their heritage and celebrate it with the whole community. It creates such a sense of unity.

Alex: It makes me appreciate the richness of their culture. I feel like I’m learning something new every day.

Maria: That’s the beauty of travelling. You get to immerse yourself in different customs and traditions, broadening your perspective.

Alex: Couldn’t agree more. Let’s make sure to respect and embrace these customs during our stay. It’s all part of the adventure.
