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’ll go. We weren’t that close back in the day.
Besides, I don’t know what gift to give.

Well, I heard it will be a grand beach wedding as Alice and her fiancé have both worked abroad for years. Anything simple yet elegant would be a good wedding gift.
I guess you’re right. Still, I’m wondering 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 old classmates. Don’t worry, I’m sure you will enjoy attending Alice’s wedding.
Okay then, I’ll go with you. I’ll also give them gift money, as is customary.

PART B_2


I just bought a new air conditioner. Summer is not here yet, but it is already hot. Are you considering buying one as well?
Actually, I already have one at home, but I do not always use it. I prefer using 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 when necessary, but try not to misuse or overuse it. Using it too much can increase electricity use and contribute to global warming through greenhouse gas emissions.

Oh, you’re right. My science teacher told us that air conditioners use too much electricity. I cannot afford to pay that much for electricity.
I’m glad you understand. You not only save money but also help protect the environment. However, if you feel unwell due to the heat, you can use it until you feel comfortable.
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, even if my contribution is small.
That’s really nice of you. Let’s hope that other people will also consider options like this. I’m sure they will understand.

Whoa! What’s with the peculiar look? Trying something new?
This is called the Ganguro look, brother. It’s a fashion trend from the ‘90s. I lost a bet with my friends, so as a consequence I have to dress in the Ganguro style for a day.

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

That is called the Funny Face Challenge, and it’s the latest fad. You have to make as many funny faces as you can on camera and then say the words “funny face” loud and clear.
That sounds interesting, but why would you do that?

My friends challenged me to do the Funny Face Challenge—something funny that we could show our friends. It’s hilarious.
