Mary Hi, I'm interested in this necklace. How much does it cost?
​Seller It's priced at $200. That's one of our best pieces.
​Mary Hmm, that's a bit steep for me. How about $150?
​Seller I can't go that low. How about we meet in the middle at $175?
​Mary I really can't go higher than $160.
Tony That was a successful shopping trip!
Mary Yes, we found some great bargains.
​Tony We were able to get some things at a steal.
Mary Definitely. We could negotiate and not pay through the nose.
​Tony And we didn't end up with any lemons.
Mary Exactly. I'm so glad we could find some real gems.
Mary I found out that the bag I bought at the bazaar has a hole in it.
​Tony Oh no, that's too bad.
​Mary I know. I noticed it too late, and the seller is nowhere to be found.
​Tony That's a bummer. Well, "buyer beware."
​Mary Yeah, I guess I should've been more careful but still it's so disappointing.
​Tony Yeah, I hate it when that happens. I'm so sorry, Mary.
Mary I think we'd better stock up on summer essentials now, like sunscreen, deodorants, snacks, and stuff like that.
​Jack Let's not forget insect repellent! We're going to have a lot of outdoor activities.
Mary Great idea. Oh, can we also get a dehumidifier? I can't stand getting sweaty and feeling sticky all over.
​Jack Same here. I'll definitely put the dehumidifier on our list.
Mary Have you thought about which dehumidifier to get?
Jack You know, at first, I thought it was a good idea, but I'm not too sure now.
​Mary Oh, you have no idea how muggy the summer gets around here!
Jack But doesn't it cost a fortune to buy one?
​Mary Not necessarily. There are many energy-efficient models that are pretty good and cheap.
Jack Well, I don't know. I'll leave this one up to you.
Helen What's up with this heat wave? It's starting to drive me up the wall.
​Tim Yeah, I'm actually having second thoughts about our camping trip this summer. I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
​Helen Tell me about it. They say it's supposed to hit 35 every day this week.
​Tim Yikes! I'm definitely staying indoors for a while.
Fred I heard it's Korean Memorial Day today. Is that right?
Sujin Yes. It's a national holiday that commemorates the soldiers who sacrificed for our country.
Fred I see. How do you usually honor this day?
Sujin Some people visit war memorials to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers.
​Fred What a great way to show your gratitude. I think it's important to keep their memory alive.
Jack Where do you want to go for summer vacation?
Mary Well, we could go to the beach and soak up the sun.
​Jack Or we could explore the countryside and enjoy beauiful nature.
Mary Hmm, I'm a little torn. I love both ideas.
​Jack Well, we still have plenty of time, so let's not jump the gun.
Mary I agree. We'll have a great time wherever we go. I can't wait.
Sophie I was wondering if I could take a week off in July for my vacation.
Manager Sure thing. It's time for you to recharge your battery. You've been working around the clock lately.
​Sophie Thanks for understanding.
Manager Just make sure that everything is taken care of before you go.
Sophie Of course. I'll be sure to tie up any loose ends before I go.
Manager Gary, can I talk to you for a second? It's about your vacation.
Gary Oh, no. Please don't tell me that I can't go to Guam in July!
​Manager I'm afraid we'll need you here at that time. We're going to be short-staffed that week.
Gary What?! How did that happen? My vacation was approved a month ago!
​Manager I'm really sorry, Gary. Other people's vacation days got mixed up with yours. I'll be sure to make it up to you later. I promise!
