Felicia: Thank you, Mr. Morikawa. I enjoy working with Yuriko. She has more experience than I do.

Mr. Morikawa: That’s true, but you have a lot of fresh ideas.

Felicia: Well, I have a younger perspective on things, maybe.

Mr. Morikawa: Exactly. That’s why I am putting you in charge of the advertising department.

Felicia: Me? But what about Yuriko? She is my manager.

Mr. Morikawa: I’m afraid she has decided to quit.

Felicia: Really?

Mr. Morikawa: She was very surprised, of course.

Yuriko: I’m sure she will do a great job as head of the advertising department.

Mr. Morikawa: Well, it will be a challenge, but she can do it.

Yuriko: It’s tough leaving this company. I’ve been working here for over 20 years.

Mr. Morikawa: You’ve contributed a lot, Yuriko. We will miss you.

Yuriko: I’ll miss everybody, too.

Station staff: Are you sure it’s in the train?

Casper: Yes, I used my train card to enter the gate. It’s always in my wallet. It must have fallen out of my pocket onto the seat.

Station staff: OK, would you please fill out this lost-and-found form?

Casper: Certainly.

Station staff: If it’s brought to the station office, we will contact you.

Casper: Thank you.

Johann: Yes, those were the best scallops I’ve ever had!

Tour guide: Soon we will stop at our main destination: Hirosaki Castle.

Johann: Is this the place that has the cherry trees in full bloom?

Tour guide: Yes, exactly. This is one of the most famous spots to enjoy Sakura in Japan. You will have two hours to look around. Don’t leave your valuable unattended.

Johann: Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot my camera.
