AAgreed. I'll create a shared document so we can both add our work and leave comments for each other.

A student, Kevin, is speaking with his teacher, Ms. Park, about how to prepare for the upcoming final exam.

AMs. Park, I'm a bit worried about the final exam. Do you have any advice on how to prepare?

Conversation 3

Two parents, Helen and Tom, are talking about their children's different educational paths — one attending university and one choosing a vocational training program.

AMy son just got accepted into an engineering program at the university. I'm so relieved he has a clear path now.
BThat's wonderful! My daughter decided to go to a vocational school instead to study culinary arts. I was uncertain at first, but she seems so motivated.
AI think both paths are valid. A university degree is great, but so is having a specific technical skill.
BExactly. And she's already been offered an internship at a local restaurant. The hands-on experience seems really valuable.
AThat's impressive. I hope my son gets similar practical experience as part of his degree program.
