Task 1
Luigi: Hey, Amy. It’s Luigi. What are you doing?
Amy: I’m making a cake.
Luigi: Oh, are you making a chocolate cake? I love chocolate cake.
Amy: Yes, I am. It’s for the school dinner.
Luigi: Oh, no! I forgot about the school dinner! I need to make something, too. What
can I make?

Task 2
Felipe: Hey, Andrea, look at all these after-school activities!
Andrea: Yeah. I’d like to join the volleyball club. I want to exercise and have fun.
Would you like to join the club with me?
Felipe: Gee, I’d like to, but I can’t. I go to the computer club on Tuesdays. How about
the drama club? That sounds like fun, and it meets on Mondays. Would you like to
join?
Andrea: No, I wouldn’t! I don’t like drama. I like sports. Too bad there isn’t a soccer
club.
Felipe: You can start one! Ask your friends. I’m sure they’d like to join.
Andrea: That’s a good idea. Would you like to join?
Felipe: Yes, I would. In fact, I’d like to be the president!

I ate a lot of cotton candy . . .
Evan: Oh, no! I can’t believe it! I forgot about the festival. I really wanted to go!
Sandy: That’s too bad. Did you do anything special on Sunday?

Section III
I’ve always loved to travel. I’ve been to the United States and Mexico, Italy,
Greece, and Turkey . . . Japan, Thailand—all over the world. Last year, I bought a
digital camera. Well, I couldn’t take very good pictures at first, but I’ve gotten better.
Now it’s a real hobby! I take my camera everywhere, and I’ve taken hundreds of
pictures. I’ve even taken a few photos of famous people.
