AFTER SCHOOL
What are you going to do after
school?
I’m going to go home and do my
homework.
No, I mean after you leave school.
No idea. I don’t even know what
I’m doing next week!
HAVE YOU EVER?
Have you ever been to
New Zealand?
Yes. I was there last year
for a month. I loved it.
Have you been?
No, not yet. But I want
to go next year.
HARDLY EVER
You look really fit.
You must do a lot of sport.
I suppose I do. I run every day and
I go to the gym two or three times a
week. What about you?
I have a gym membership, but I
hardly ever have time to go.
A PLACE OF MY OWN
Where do you live?
I’m living at a friend’s place at the
moment. It’s just temporary. I hope
I can find a place of my own soon.
