Part 1: Kevin and Laura
Kevin: Hi Laura, are we still planning the multicultural dinner party for our class?
Laura: Yes, Kevin. We need to set a date. I was thinking about the 14th of November.
Kevin: I’m afraid I can’t make it on the 14th. I have a swimming competition. How about the following week? The 21st?
Laura: Let me check... Yes, the 21st works for me. Now, about the food. Since it's multicultural, I should cook something from my heritage.
Kevin: Why don't you make tacos? Everyone loves them.
Laura: Tacos are great, but they get messy. My grandmother taught me a great recipe for Lasagna. It’s a traditional Italian dish and easy to serve.
Kevin: Lasagna sounds delicious. I’ll bring a big Greek salad to go with it. What should we wear? Just casual clothes?
Laura: No, let's make it special. It's a culture party, so everyone must wear their traditional clothes.
Kevin: Traditional clothes. Got it. I'll wear my kilt! Do you need me to bring anything else? Plates? Cups?
Laura: I have plenty of plates and glasses from my birthday party. But I ran out of paper napkins. Can you pick some up?
Kevin: Sure, napkins. I’ll get the colorful ones. Finally, what about entertainment? Should we hire a DJ?
Laura: No, the neighbors will complain about the noise. I think a quiz would be fun. We can ask questions about different customs around the world.
Kevin: A quiz is a great idea. I'll write the questions.
Part 2: Mr. Wilson
Mr. Wilson: Good morning, students. Welcome to our field trip to the ancient pottery village. Before we start, I have some important changes to announce.
First, regarding transport. We usually take the school bus directly to the village gate. However, the main bridge is being repaired today, so the bus cannot cross. Instead, we will take the ferry across the river. It will be a nice short boat ride.
Second, tickets. The normal price for adults is $10. Because you are students, you get a 50% discount, so you only pay $5. Please have your cash ready.
Third, rules in the village. You can walk around and watch the artisans making pottery. You are welcome to take photos, but please, do not touch the wet clay. If you touch it, you might ruin their work.
Fourth, lunch. The plan was to have a picnic in the park, but the weather forecast says it might rain later. So, I have booked a meal at a local craftsman’s house. You will get to eat traditional food with his family.
Finally, souvenirs. There are many shops selling plastic keychains, but those are made in factories. I highly recommend buying the painted bowls. They are handmade right here in the village and make beautiful gifts.
