W: Good morning, everyone. I'm your student council president, Kelly Green. Many students have complained that there are no printers available for them to use. To solve this problem, next week we will set up several new printers in the student council room. Students will be able to use the printers for homework, projects, or any other school tasks. We hope this will help you do your work more efficiently and make your school life easier. Thank you.

M: Anna, I see you're studying Spanish.↵
W: Hi, Mr. Brown. Yeah, I've been really into it these days.↵
M: I've noticed. Do you feel like you're improving a lot?↵
W: Hmm... Well, remembering words is really hard. I forget them quickly.↵
M: I see. How about saying the words out loud? It can be an effective way to remember them.↵
W: Does it really help? I feel more comfortable just memorizing quietly.↵
M: When you speak out loud, you use different parts of your brain, and that helps you remember words better.↵
W: But I always thought saying words out loud would make it harder to focus.↵
M: Not at all. Studies show that it can help you stay more focused on the task.↵
W: Really? Then, maybe I should give it a try.

M: Hello, listeners! This is Thomas White's Living Well. What do you do to stay healthy? Maybe you exercise regularly and eat healthy food. Those are both great habits. But I have one more simple tip for you. Go outside and get some sunlight! Sunlight is important for your body and mind. Getting sunlight can prevent you from getting sick and can reduce anxiety. It's an easy way to help you stay healthy both physically and mentally. I'll be right back with more after the break.

M: Jenny, how was the pajama party yesterday?↵

M: Let's see. Oh, I like the pajama party banner next to the clock.↵
W: Yeah, it's really eye‐catching, isn't it?↵
M: It is. And here you are standing in your striped pajamas.↵
W: I absolutely love these pajamas. They look so cute.↵
M: And the girl making a V‐sign with her fingers is your friend Mia, right?↵
W: That's right. Do you see the pillows on the bed? We had a pillow fight!↵
M: It must've been so much fun. By the way, what are those three stars on the wall?↵
W: Oh, those are stickers. They glow in the dark.↵
M: I see. Sounds like you had an amazing time at the pajama party.↵
W: Definitely! I'll never forget it.

W: Brian, I think we're almost ready for our candy shop's opening event.↵

W: Great! What about the bluetooth speakers?↵
M: I tested them and they're working fine. Did you choose the sample candies for customers to try?↵
W: Yeah. Look! I put them in these pretty little baskets.↵
M: Thanks! They look nice.↵
W: And all the other candies are nicely placed around the shop.↵
M: Wait, how about the price tags?↵
W: Oh, we almost forgot. Could you put them on the candy boxes?↵
M: Of course. I'll do it right away.

M: Welcome to Lake Boat Tours. How can I help you?↵

W: Thanks, Oliver. Your singing videos are fantastic, too.↵
M: I have an idea. There's a busking event this Sunday. How about performing together?↵
W: This Sunday? I'd really love to, but I can't.↵
M: Why not? Do you feel nervous about performing in public?↵
W: Not really, but I already have another plan on Sunday.↵
M: Oh, do you still take tennis lessons every Sunday?↵
W: Not anymore. Do you remember I had an interview for a part‐time job?↵

W: Really? We don't have much time. Let's do it right now.

W: Honey, we need to buy Robert a backpack for school.↵
M: Right, let's search for one online.↵
W: [Clicking Sound] Wow, there are so many options. What should we consider first?↵
M: Well, let's start with budget.↵
W: We already spent a lot on his other school supplies. I'd like to keep it under $70.↵
M: All right. What shape should we get him, a square one?↵
W: Yeah, it's better for carrying school supplies. Then, what about the color?↵
M: White ones get dirty easily, so we should go with a black one.↵
W: Sounds good. And does it need to be waterproof?↵
M: Definitely. It'll be useful on rainy days.↵
W: Then, this is the one. Let's buy it.

M: Ms. Adams, I'm not feeling well. I have a bad headache.↵

W: That sounds great! If I do a good job with his cat, will you let me get my own cat?↵
M: I'll definitely think about it if you take good care of his cat.↵
W: Thanks, Dad. Please tell Uncle Tony that I want to do it.↵
M: Okay. I'll ask him if you can look after his cat.

M: Grandma, look what I found in the garage. It's an old cookbook.↵
W: Oh, I haven't seen that for years.↵
M: It says here, "Recipes for Fine Dishes."↵
W: That's the cookbook I wrote when I was a chef before you were born.↵
M: Really? You were a professional chef?↵

W: Chloe is on an overseas trip and staying at a hotel in Cairo, Egypt. After some sightseeing, she goes back to her hotel room. It's hot outside, so she decides to turn on the air conditioner, but it doesn't work. She calls the hotel clerk to get it fixed. He explains that it can be fixed tomorrow. It's too hot to sleep without the air conditioning, and Chloe wants to know if she can stay in another room. In this situation, what would Chloe most likely say to the hotel clerk?↵
C: Would it be possible to change to another room?

M: Hello, class! Last time, we learned about the national flags of various countries. Today, we'll talk about different countries' national flowers and what they symbolize. First, the Philippines' national flower is jasmine. Because it means good luck, people often give big necklaces made of this flower to welcome special guests. Next, Denmark's flower is the daisy and it represents happiness. Children express happiness by making daisy chains during their traditional games. In France, the national flower is the iris. Throughout history, French people have thought of this flower as a symbol of perfection. Lastly, the United States uses the rose as its national flower. Americans consider it a symbol of love. So you can find many roses in American weddings. Now, let's watch a short video to look at these flowers up close.
