Elena: Wow, this girl looks so cute.

Trang: Yeah ... She’s my cousin. She's at Sa Dec Flower Village. Tet is coming soon, so many people visit flower villages to take pictures with the blooming flowers.

Elena: Oh, I'm fond of admiring the flowers. Does your family visit places like this too?

Trang: Yes, we do. We usually visit Nhat Tan Village to buy kumquat trees and peach blossoms.

Elena: I see flowers and ornamental trees everywhere these days. What are they for?

Trang: We, Vietnamese, use plants and flowers for decorations and for offerings. They are an important part of our Tet tradition.

Elena: And what's that tall tree in the photo?

Trang: Well, it's actually a bamboo pole. People place it in the yard of the communal house. They hang decorative items like small bells and lanterns on it. They want to chase away bad luck and pray for a lucky new year.

Elena: Interesting! I didn’t know that.

Read and listen to the dialogue. Why does Mason change from feeling anxious to feeling terrified?

Ruby: So, this is your first school show, Mason. Are you excited about it?

Mason: Yes, I am. But I'm anxious too. There's going to be a big audience!

Ruby: Don't worry. They’re friendly!

Mason: I hope so. Where’s Alex? He isn't here yet.

Ruby: That's strange. He's usually very punctual.

Mason: Maybe he's too frightened to come.

Ruby: Alex? No, it can't be that. He's a really confident person.

Miss Hart: Hello, Mason. I had a message from Alex. He’s ill and can't perform tonight. He's very upset about it. Can you sing this song in the second half?

Mason: I know the song well, so maybe…

Miss Hart: Thanks, Mason. That's brave of you. Don't worry, you’ll be great.

Ruby: You've got your own song now. How exciting!

Mason: I know. But I'm terrified!

USE IT! Work in pairs. Read the situation, prepare and practise a new dialogue. Use the key phrases and the dialogue in exercise 1 to help you.

Student A: Ask your partner what the problem is: he/she looks tired. Listen, find out some more information, then offer some advice.

Student B: You're not sleeping well and you're always tired. You're worried that your school work is getting worse. You listen to music and text your friends when you should be asleep.
