A: Hey, Jane, you seem a bit preoccupied. Everything okay?
B: Ah, just a bit worried about my grandma. She's been showing some signs of forgetfulness lately.
A: I'm sorry to hear that. How old is she now?
B: A little over 80. I've been trying to figure out the best way to approach the situation.
A: I heard your dad started learning the piano and Italian. That's awesome!
B: Yeah, he's been keeping himself busy with new hobbies lately. Says it helps keep his mind sharp.
A: That's really smart./  B: Kepping the brain active is key to delaying dementia.
A: You can say that again./  B: I hope to follow his example when I get older.
A: I heard Mr. Jin, our old Chemistry teacher started volunteering at a homeless shelter./  B: That's amazing!
A: Yeah, he wanted to give back to the community and stay active after retiring.
B: Wow! Keeping socially engaged can help with healthy aging.
A: You know, it's Teachers' Day today. Maybe we could call him up and say hi.
A: It was great to see Mr. Jin yesterday being so active.
B: I'll say. He's really keeping himself physically active./  A: ... and mentally stimulated, too. I'm really proud of him.
B: I think he's setting a really great example of aging well.
A: I guess it's never too early to start thinking about healthy aging
A: Managing stress is also a key, I guess.
B: Absolutely. We'd better make sure to take good care of ourselves now so we can age well later.
A: Sure. Oh, well, I've been feeling pretty out of shape lately. Time to get serious about it.
B: Yeah, no more chicken and beer for a while, huh?
 
A: Hey, what do you think about starting a volleyball tournment for the college festival?
B: That sounds fun! We could have teams from different departments compete.
A: Exactly, it could be a great way to bring everyone together. How could we organize it?
B: We'll need to set up a schedule and get permission to use the volleyball court. Plus, find someone to referee the games.
A: I was thinking we could have a book fair during the festival. Invite local authors and bookstores.
B: That's brilliant! We could also invite people from the community outside of campus.
A: Yes, and who doesn't love books?/   B: We should reach out to some authors soon then.
A: And maybe set up a small stage for readings.
A: For the concert, should we try to get a famous pop star? Maybe a girl band or a solo ballad singer?
B: Tough choice. A girl band could attract a lot of fans, but a solo singer might bring in a more diverse audience.
A: True. Maybe we should consider who'd be more likely to accept our invitation too.
B: Let's also think about our budget. Big names mean big bucks.
A: We should sell some quick meals as well as snacks./  B: Absolutely. And we could offer a variety of options.
A: We need to ensure there's something for everyone./  B: Last year we had bindaetteok, and they sold like hotcakes.
A: I remember. It was so popular that you had to keep flipping bindaetteok nonstop all day long.
A: Did you hear it might rain on Friday?/  B: Mmm, I doubt it.
A: But what if it rains during the festival? We need a backup plan.
B: Well, we could move some events indoors. Maybe the gym or the auditorium.
A: Good idea. And we should have some rainproof cover for the food stands and book displays.
B: Maybe we can rent some tents or marquees. Just in case.
