A: I just have to say, your comedy shows always leave me in stitches!
B: Ah, so my jokes are working then!
A: Haha, I mean it. Your ability to find humor in everyday situations is remarkable.
B: Well, life is too short not to laugh./ A: Actually, your comedy really helped me when I was in the hospital.
B: Wow, then the next time you see me, call me Dr. Carrey. Seriously, thank you so much.
A: Did they teach you about the Korean War back in school?
B: Sure. That intense clash between the North and South in the 1950s, right?
A: Bingo! It started today in 1950 when the North Korean forces charged across the border.
B: Right, and then the UN stepped in to back up the South, with the US ane others lending a hand.
A: This summer, I'm thinking of going abroad, maybe to Europe.
B: Cool! I'm traveling, too! I'm considering joining a group tour this time.
A: Really? I'm not too sure about that. What's good about group tours?
B: Well, they take care of everything ㅡ itinerary, accommodation, and even guided tours.
A: Sounds convenient! And it's fun to meet new people too./ A: But isn't a group tour a bit restrictive?
B: Yeah, to some extent. Sometimes you're rushed through attractions, and there's less flexibility.
A: I heard they stick to a fixed schedule, which can be tiring.
B: Plus, you might miss out on discovering lesser-known places.
A: True, and you're always with a big group, so it's less personal.
A: So, I've decided to go for a group tour with my mom for the first week.
B: How sweet! That'll be a nice bonding experience./ A: I hope so, and then for the second week, we'll do our own thing.
B: That's perfect! You get the best of both worlds ㅡ structured tour and independent exploration.
A: Exactly! I can't wait for our summer adventures!
A: Excuse me, can you help me? I can't seem to find my seat./B: Sure, it looks like you're in car number 8, but this is car number 1.
A: Oh, no wonder I can't find it. How do I get to car number 8?/ B: You'll need to walk all the way down the platform.
A: I see. You mean, until I reach car number 8, right?/ B: Correct. It's at the other end of the train. Just head back that way.
A: There you are! What took you so long?/ B: Sorry, I almost missed the train because I got on the wrong car.
A: Oh no, really?/ B: Yeah, but thankfully a lady helped me out. She told me I was on the wrong car and directed me to the right one.
A: Nice! I'm glad you didn't miss the train./ B: Me too. I was worried I'd have to wait for the next one.
A: Emily, did you hear that? Our flight might get canceled due to the storm!
B: Oh ne, seriously? We can't afford to miss this flight; we have that meeting tomorrow morning.
A: I know, it's stressing me out. I've been looking forward to this trip for weeks.
B: Let's call the airline and see if they can give us any updates. Maybe there's another flight we can catch.
A: Good idea. I'll give them a ring right now.
A: Well, our worst fears came true. The flight got canceled./ B: Figures. This weather is a nightmare.
A: At least the airline is offering accommodation and dinner. That's something./
B: Yeah, I guess it's better than nothing. But I was really excited about getting to Hawaii tonight.
A: Let's go line up and see what they have for us.
A: So, what are you planning to do to kill time while we're stuck here at the airport?
B: I brought my laptop, so I might catch up on some work./ A: I think I'll just relax and read a book.
B: That sounds nice. I wish I had your chill attitude, especially in situations like this.
A: Well, there's not much we can do about the situation, so might as well make the best of it, right?
