Riko: Hi, Paul. Did you buy the princes costume for Hannah’s Halloween event?

Paul: Yes, I got a pink one.

Riko: But she wants a purple costume, not a pink one. She may get disappointed.

Paul: Sorry, but they only had pink ones left.

Riko: Well, I guess I’ll have to make another costume for her myself this year.

Paul: Do you have time to do that?

Riko: Not really, but you know how picky Hannah is about everything.

Tom: I’m not sure. He didn’t say exactly. He may or may not be ill.

Masami: What do you mean? Don’t you know?

Tom: I’m not sure. He’s acting very strangely. He might be covering something up.

Masami: What would he be covering up?

Tom: Listen, Masami. if you want to be with Sota, that’s fine with me.

Masami: What are you saying, Tom?

Carlos: Yes. Don’t worry. The teacher said, “You may use a dictionary during the test.”

Shiho: That’s good. I’m not so confident about my spelling sometimes.

Carlos: Me neither. English isn’t like Spanish, my native language.

Shiho: Oh, of course. You’re from Argentina, so your mother tongue is Spanish.

Carlos: Yes, although our Spanish is a little different from that of other Spanish-speaking countries.

Sejun: That’s good.
