A: I went to my cousin's wedding last weekend./ B: How was it? I've never been to a wedding ceremony in Korea.
A: It was fantastic. The venue was beautiful, and the ceremony was lovely./ B: I love weddings. So, who officiated the wedding?

​A: I'm sure they had lots of Korean food there./  B: You guessed it! And people loved it.
A: I'm not surprised. What exactly did they serve?
B: The noodles were a big hit. They symbolize longevity and a good life, I heard./ A: I didn't know that. That's a nice touch.
​A: You know, wedding ceremonies in the States are quite different./  B: Really? How so?
A: The reception is usually very big, with lots of dancing and a live band./ B: That sounds fun. What else is different?
A: There are often speeches from the best man and the maid of honor./ B: I see. No wonder their wedding ceremonies take longer.
​A: The couple registered for gifts at different stores, so guests knew exactly what to buy./  B: That sounds so organized.

B: True, that does sound practical. What kind of stuff do they usually ask for?
A: Mostly household items like kitchenware, bedding, and appliances.
​A: I've heard that wedding receptions in America are quite something.
B: Absolutely! There's often a live band, and sometimes a DJ takes over later./  A: That sounds like a blast.
B: Oh, for sure! The bride usually has this emotional dance with her father. It always gets everyone teary-eyed.

​A: Hi, I'm Jack. Just joined this computer course./  B: Nice to meet you, Jack. I'm Kelly. First time here too.
A: So, what did you do before this?/  B: I was a full-time housewife for 15 years. How about you?
A: I was a marketing manager for many years. I just retired from my old job and I'm looking to pick up some new skills now.
B: Is that right? Well, pleasure to meet you, Jack.//  ​A: So, what do you hope to get out of this course, Jack?
B: Well, AI is the thing now and I'm hoping to learn more about it. You know, for the next chapter of my life.

B: Me too. Let's make the most of it.//  ​A: Coming straight from your workout?
B: Yup. Did a little bit of swimming today. How about you?
A: I just dropped off my kids at school. By the way, how are you managing with the early starts?
B: Well, it's tough. I'm not an early riser at all. Dragging myself out of bed every morning is hard.
