Hi, Jerry. Sorry I missed your call. I was in the shower. P
Yeah, your sister told me. Are you going out tonight? P
No, just staying in tonight. You? P
Same. I've been working hard all week. I just need to relax for a night. P
That's good to hear. Give yourself a break once in a while. P
Yeah. Why are you staying in? P
I have to be up early for a meeting, over brunch. P
Brunch is the best. P
4-2 Visiting
Ask Jessie if she wants us to pick up anything on our way over. P
I asked, but she said she has everything. P
Well, let's get a cake or some drinks then. P
I'm sure she'd appreciate that. But, she's allergic to peanuts. P
Hmm, it's hard to find cakes without nuts. P
That's true. What else can we bring? P
What about ice cream? It'd be nice on a day like today. P
Yeah, it's so hot. Let's bring ice cream cones too. P
4-3 Animals
Dad! Did you see how that gorilla tried to grasp me when I gave him a banana? P
Yes, I was surprised. You shouldn't have gone that close. P
I just wanted to touch him. That's all. P
But you still took a picture with the king of the jungle, son. P
I was scared, dad! But that lion looked mild. P
Ha ha ha. Let's go home. It's getting dark. P
4-4 Coffee Shop Talk
Would you like whipped cream or ice cream on your coffees? P

You like it blended? Sure, I'll be right back with that. P
Excuse me, where is the bathroom? P
It's right over there. P
Oh, thank you. P
4-5 Reasoning
Why do you think it's easier by the fence? P
Because it is easier to create a design for your garden. P
What do you mean? P
You see, there's four sides to your garden if it's in the middle. P
Yes, if it's placed in the middle, as a square. There's four sides. P
Right. But against the fence, you have only one side to worry about. P
I see what you are saying. P
It's up to you where to place it. It's easier for me this way. P
4-6 Taxi-out
If you could slow down here, the turn is coming up. P

No, I'm staying at a friend's house. It's the second house on the left. P

Really? This is my first. How's your steak? It looks delicious. P
It's really good, only, I was hoping it would be a little more rare. P
You normally eat your steak rare? P
Yeah, but that's okay, it still tastes good. Aren't these potatoes tasty? P

Why? You don't like it? P
No, the clothes seem cheap, and I don't like the style very much. P
Well, it's for casual-sporty clothes. Yeah, I guess you like the dressier places. P

These super centers are busy all the time. No matter the time or day. P
Yeah, it's crazy. But I always come back to save a buck. P
Same here. Check out, line 2 looks the shortest. Is it an express lane? P
Yes, it is one. We have way more than 12 items. Let's go to the fourth lane. P
Okay. So what's the total? P
Before tax, about fifty or fifty-five. After taxes, I'd say sixty to seventy dollars? P
That's it? Our cart is packed! This place is good! Are we going to pay together or separately? P
Put it together. But I don't have cash on me, so I'll pay by card. You can pay me back later. P

Let me see, I want to ride a roller coaster first! P
Are you sure you wouldn't cry? P
Of course! I love to ride thrilling rides! P
Alright! Let's stand in line. P
4-19 The Plan
You can take the subway to the St. Lawrence Market. P
I've heard of that place before. P
It's a popular place. So, from St. Lawrence Market, walk along the Harbourfront, and end up at CN Tower and Sky Dome. P
Oh, that sounds interesting. P
You should have lunch in the rotating restaurant in the CN Tower. P
That's a good idea. P
Then, you can take the underground PATH to the Eaton Centre. P
And that's where I'll do my shopping! P
4-20 Rating
How did you like the movie? P
It was fantastic! There was so much action! Did you like it? P
Yes, I loved it! It was very suspenseful. P
I know, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. P
Do you remember the scene when they jumped off the roof? P
That was really well done. I'd give the effects in that scene 5 stars. P
I'd rate the whole movie 5 stars! Except that one character, the reporter. P
Yeah, she got on my nerves too. Ha ha. P
