PART B_1

Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.

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.

[HS]2-2 What kind of pet do you like to have in your house?

PASSAGE READING

Please read aloud the following passage. I will check your pronunciation as you read.

READ

There are various reasons as to why people keep pets at home. Aside for their cuteness, pets are said to enhance the mood and reduce the stress of their owners. A pet can either be bought from a pet shop or adopted from an animal shelter. Cats, dogs, fishes, birds, and small animals are some of the common pets. The two most popular pets around the world are cats and dogs. Dogs are said to be the most loving pets. They are the so called “man’s best friend” and are known to be man’s protector and helper. On the other hand, cats are said to be smarter than dogs. They can also be loving and obedient if one gets to train them well. Another reason these two animals are the most popular choices is because they can easily adapt to their owners’ environment.

[HS]2-1 What is the most important thing to sustain our Earth?

PASSAGE READING

Please read aloud the following passage. I will check your pronunciation as you read.

READ

Earth is the only planet in the solar system that can support life. It is also the only planet that has water on its surface. Life on Earth is currently in danger, but it’s not too late to do something about it. People can help save the Earth simply by conserving water.

All living things need water to survive. Because of this, we have to control our consumption of water. We can start saving water at home by simply turning off the faucet while brushing our teeth. Instead of letting the water pour down from the shower, we may place a bucket to collect water and reuse it to water plants. Through this, people can save thousands of gallons of water. These small actions can have a huge impact on helping the environment and sustaining the Earth.

READ


Good to see you’re back, Emma. Why were you absent for a week? Are you well?
Hey, Ron. I caught a flu last week. I couldn’t get up to prepare for school until today.

That’s too bad. I had colds last month. It was terrible. I hope you’re okay now.
Thanks, Ron. I’m feeling a lot better now. I think I just needed some rest. I slept for almost 9 hours yesterday, but I still feel a bit weak.

Take some rest, Emma. Let me know if you need anything. Take care of yourself and eat well. After all, health is wealth.
I totally agree with that. Anyway, shouldn’t you be preparing for gym class?

Well, I asked Ms. Roberts for me to be excused from gym today. I hate baseball. Besides, I often get dizzy because of the heat.
I see. Take care, Ron. See you around.
