Caspar: Thanks. I found the recipe on the internet. Hamburg steak with mushroom gravy. It was easier than I thought.

Alexis: Please make it again.

Caspar: Sure, I’d love to.

Alexis: Caspar, I appreciate your cooking, but please put the dishes in the sink.

Caspar: I know. I forget sometimes.

Alexis: And never leave the knife out like this. Just wash it and put it back in the drawer.

Caspar: OK, I got it.

Akira: We’re doing fine, Commander. The base is expanding, which is good.

Megan: That’s great to hear. Akira, we have received new orders for you.

Akira: Standing by for new orders.

Megan: You must stay on Mars for another three months.

Akira: Three months?

Megan: Yes, the good news is that a spaceship with lots of sushi will leave for Mars soon.

Akira: That is heartening news.

Megan: Indeed. You should read some good books to pass the time.

Bob: Sally, you have mastered all the basic techniques.

Sally: Thank you. I was wondering, maybe I should start watercolor painting.

Bob: Sure. I also teach a watercolor class.

sally: Great! What do I need to buy first?

Bob: All you have to buy is one brush, a few watercolor paints, and watercolor paper.

sally: How many colors should I get?

Bob: You only have to get a set with eight colors.

Aki: Well, it has its good and bad sides.

Peacock: That’s true. So, when are we going to the ward office?

Aki: Tomorrow! I need you to fill out this form.

Peacock: What is it?

Aki: It’s the marriage registration form. I’d like you to write your full name here.

Peacock: Sounds simple enough.

Aki: Wait, it needs to be written in Japanese.

Peacock: OK. How does this look?

Aki: Great! You write katakana very well!
