Situation 1:
Talking About America(Mr.Pak, a Korean father, decides to go
to America with his daughter Su-mi.To get ready to go to
America,he also thinks it would be good if they speak only in English. )
Su-mi,would you like to go to America?
What?
I asked you if you want to go to America with me.
I will go next Tuesday.I think you will learn
a lot if you go with me.
Dad,of course I want to go with you,
but why are you speaking English to me
Well,next Tuesday is only five days from now.
If we are going to America we should practice our English
every day.
That is a good idea,Dad.If we speak English together until
next Tuesday,speaking English in America will be easier.
That's right. So do you promise?
Yes,Dad,I promise to speak only English until next Tuesday.
No,you must promise to speak only English until the week
after next Tuesday.
Why?
Because we will be in America for one weekand you have to
speak only English until we come back to Korea.
Yes,I promise.
That's a good girl.
Is Mom going with us?
No,your mother has to stay here and take care of your
younger brother.
So Tae-gyun is staying in Korea with Mom?
Yes,your brother Tae - gyun is only twelve years old.
He doesn't know much English yet.
But I am only fifteen years old.
I know,but that means you have already learned English in
school.Now I want you to practice your English with me and with
people in America.
Okay,Dad.But I don't think Mom and Tae - gyun are going
to be happy.
Don't worry. I will explain it to your mother and your brother.
Okay, Dad.Good luck.
