Listening Review 4

Nick: Hey, Claudia. What is that?

Claudia: Hey, Nick. It’s the wedding cake from Jane’s sister’s wedding.

Nick: It looks delicious. Can I have a bite?

Claudia: Yes, but not now. I will give you a piece tomorrow morning.

Nick: I feel like eating it now. Why tomorrow?

Claudia: I want to find out who my husband will be, so I am going to sleep with this piece of wedding cake under my pillow. I heard it will make me dream of my future husband.

Nick: Do you really believe in that superstition?

Claudia: Well, I will tell you tomorrow if it works.

Listening Review 5

Julie: Hey, Tim! What book are you reading?

Tim: Hey, Julie. You mean this book? It’s The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen.

Julie: Ugh, Tim. Aren’t you a little old to be reading fairy tales.

Tim: No, Julie! Fairy tales are good books for all ages. Even my mom reads them sometimes.

Julie: OK. But why did you pick The Ugly Duckling?

Tim: Whenever I feel down, I read The Ugly Duckling. It encourages me to be confident about myself. 

Julie: I see. Well, enjoy reading your fairy tale, Tim.

Listening Practice 1

Daniel: Hey, Karen. Did you get an invitation to Jin’s older sister’s wedding next month?

Karen: Hey, Daniel! Yeah, Jin gave one to me yesterday, but I am a little worried.

Daniel: Why are you worried?

Karen: Well, I have never been to a traditional Korean wedding before. Have you, Daniel?

Daniel: I went to one last year. They are really fun. You have nothing to worry about.

Karen: Are there a lot of differences between Korean weddings and the weddings back home in Canada?

Daniel: Yeah, there are quite a few differences. The first thing you will notice is the wedding attire. In a traditional Korean wedding, brides and grooms wear special colorful traditional clothes, called hanboks.

Karen: That sounds cool. Oh, by the way, what kind of gift should I bring? Is there a bridal registry?

Daniel: No, Koreans don’t really have bridal registries. Most people just give money.

Karen: Why money and not gifts?

Daniel: The money usually goes to the parents to help pay for the wedding. 

Karen: Oh, OK. That makes sense. Well, I will definitely see you there!
