Hey there, Emma. Do you remember Alice, our Class President in Junior High? She’ll be coming home from London to “tie the knot” next week. She sent me a wedding invitation. Are you invited too?
Yes, but I’m not sure if I’m going. We’re not that close back in the day, so I’m not sure if I’ll go. Besides, I don’t know what gift to give.

Well, I heard it will be a grand beach wedding as Alice and her fiancé both worked abroad for years. Anything simple yet elegant will be a good wedding gift.
I guess you’re right. Still, I’m thinking whether I should go or not. I’m not really an outgoing person.

We can go together if you want. It would be nice to catch up with our batchmates. Don’t worry, I’m sure you will enjoy attending Alice’s wedding.
Okay then, I shall go with you. I will also give them gift money as per the tradition.

Giving gift money is polite, but make sure to not hand it directly to the couple. You can hand it over to the receptionist.

PART B_2


I just bought a new air conditioner. Summer season is not here yet, but it is already hot. Are you considering to buy as well?
Actually, I already have one at home, but I do not always use it. I prefer to use an electric fan at night and I take a bath two to three times a day to stay fresh.

I think I will feel more relaxed if I keep the air conditioner on especially at noon and at night. I guess I should also take a bath two to three times a day as you do.
You can use your air conditioner at night. I heard that it contributes to global warming. It releases dangerous gasses in the air especially if it’s overused or misused.

Oh, you’re right. My Science teacher told us that air conditioners use too much electricity. I cannot afford to pay that high for my electricity bills.
I’m glad you understand. You don’t just save money, you also help save the environment. However, if you feel “under the weather” due to the heat, you can use it until you’re relaxed.
Those are good points. As long as I can stand the heat, I will just use an electric fan. I want to help reduce the effects of global warming in my own way no matter how little it may be.
That’s really nice of you. Let’s hope that the others will also consider options like this. I’m sure they will understand.

Whoa! What’s with the peculiar tan skin and blonde hair? Trying a new look?
This is called Ganguro makeup look, brother. It’s a makeup trend from the ‘90s. I lost a bet with my friends, so as a consequence I have to wear Ganguro for a day.

You look pretty weird but it “fits you like a glove”. Here, let me take a picture. Mom and dad will definitely love it.
Hey, you’re funnier. I saw you the other day. You were stuffing lots of marshmallows inside your mouth in front of your camera. What was that, by the way?

That is called Chubby Bunny Challenge and it’s the latest fad. You have to put as many marshmallows as you can inside your mouth and then you will say the word “chubby bunny” loud and clear.
That sounds interesting, but why would you do that? Wouldn’t you get choked?

My friends challenged me to do the Chubby Bunny Challenge—something funny that we could share on social media. It’s hilarious.
