a. James: My motorbike barely moved for twenty minutes.

b. James: Exactly. That road is always jammed after 8 a.m.

c. Oliver: Let me guess—Nguyen Trai Street again?

a. Oliver: True. I just want cleaner air for my children.

b. Emma: I know what you mean, but it's better than breathing dirty air.

c. Oliver: I try to wear a mask, but it's hard to breathe with it on.

a. Ava: Yeah, no one thought about using paper ones or reusable bottles.

b. Emma: After the school fair, the ground was covered in plastic cups.

c. Emma: Next time, we should help plan something greener.

a. Ava: Someone sent me a nasty message on Snapchat last night.

b. Grace: That's awful. Have you reported it?

c. Ava: Yeah, I blocked them right away. I'm being more careful now.

a. Jordan: That happens to me all the time. It's easy to get hooked.

b. Grace: I need to set a timer or something to remind me to stop.

c. Grace: I didn't realize I had been watching Netflix for five hours!

a. Jordan: It's so hard to find affordable housing here.

b. Jordan: I think I'll have to do the same for a while to save up.

a. Noah: Yeah, I think I'll just explore different things and see what clicks.

b. Nathan: It's fine! You don't have to figure it out right now.

c. Noah: Everyone keeps asking me what I want to do after school, but I have no idea.

a. Nathan: It's just so convenient when I'm in a hurry.

b. Mom: I see you're getting fast food again. It's okay sometimes, but not all the time.

c. Mom: I get it, but maybe we can prepare some quick, healthy meals for you to take with you.

a. Casey: I'm thinking about getting into a vocational course. I'd rather work with my hands.

b. Sophia: Yeah, I get that. I can't sit in a classroom for too long.

c. Casey: That's the plan! I feel like vocational training is the quickest way to get there.

d. Sophia: Cooking sounds great. You could even open a restaurant one day.

e. Casey: Same here. I want to learn something practical, like cooking or car mechanics.

a. Caleb: I've noticed that too. It's easy to ignore them, but we shouldn't.

b. Hannah: I saw someone sleeping in a doorway near the mall. It made me think about how many people are struggling.

c. Hannah: I've tried giving money to a few people, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to help.

d. Hannah: Yeah, that sounds like a more long-term solution. I'll look into it.

e. Caleb: Maybe donating to organizations that support the homeless would be better.

a. Grace: Does that mean they can see doctors more often?

b. Grace: That should really improve their quality of life.

c. Mr. William: Yes, exactly. The government is making it easier for elderly people to get appointments and treatments without long waits.

d. Mr. Jordan: Yes, many families there can't afford school fees, so this will help a lot.

e. Skyler: It's a big step toward equal education.

a. Teacher: It's important to report it if you see something like that. We can handle it from there.

b. Teacher: It's good that you're telling me. Did you see what caused the fight?

c. Lucas: Okay, I'll make sure to tell you next time.

d. Lucas: I saw a fight between two students during lunch today. Should I have done something?

e. Lucas: No, they were just shouting at each other and then started pushing.

a. Mason: Do you think I should still go out even though I feel nervous?

b. Sophia: Yeah, sometimes pushing yourself a little helps. Plus, you can always leave if it gets too much.

c. Mason: I've been feeling nervous about hanging out with people lately. I'm not sure why.

d. Mason: Okay, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice.

e. Sophia: I totally understand. I feel anxious in big groups sometimes too.

c. Ella: Thanks, Mom. I will always share how I feel with you.

d. Ella: I understand, Mom. I don't want the relationship to affect my other priorities.

e. Mom: Are you in a relationship? I want you to know that you need to keep clear boundaries.

a. Alex: I guess we all use paper and wood products. Are there any alternatives to reduce deforestation?

d. Alex: I think I'll try using more bamboo products from now on.

e. Alex: So, we could use more bamboo products instead of wood?
