M: I want to make sure my son receives this letter. It has an important certificate in it.
W: You can send it either by certified mail or registered mail. If you only want to make sure it is received, send it by certified mail. It’s less expensive.
M: OK. How about this package
W: What’s in it
M: A watch.
W: You should insure it for the value of the watch, and sent it by registered mail. It’s more expensive, but it’s the safest way.
W: My parents told me my uncles and aunts are planning a big family gathering in Paris this fall.
M: Are you going there
W: You bet. All my uncles and aunts will take their children along, too. So I’ll meet many cousins there.
M: How nice! But why Paris
W: Because two of my aunts are French. They met and got married to my uncles in France. Some of their relatives are still living there.
M: Have you ever been to France before
W: No. I’ve never traveled abroad. I’m very excited about it. I just can’t wait.
M: My parents are going to take me on a trip to Hawaii next month by way of Tokyo, but I’ve been there three times already.
M: It’s so hard for me to learn English. Why is it so easy for you
W: I didn’t know you were having problems. Maybe it’s easier for me because I already speak two languages. But also, I really work at it.
M: Well, I always do my homework and go to classes. What else do you think would help
W: Well, you might try reading newspapers. And I always talk to Americans when I get a chance, though sometimes it’s hard.
M: But, how do you meet Americans I only know other foreign students.
W: How about sitting next to an American at lunch, or have you ever thought of asking someone over to your house for dinner
M: Those are good ideas. But I’m a little shy to speak English.
W: You won’t learn if you don’t try and speak. If I were you, I’d talk to your English teacher. He might have some good ideas.
