****** THE END ******

Suggested dialogue
A. Hi Nam, have you got ready for our trip this weekend.
B. Not yet. I am thinking about what to bring to the beach. What do you intend to take
along with you?
A. I think I’ll bring a beach towel so that we can lie on the beach when we sunbathe or
watch the sunrise or sun set.

B. I’d prefer a pair of sunglasses because the sun shines very strong in the sea and we
need to protect our eyes from ultra violet laser from the sun.
A. Not that serious. We just spend some time in the sun and sunscreen can protect us
from sunlight.
B. Hey, what about a camera. We should take some photos to check in and show to our
family when we come home.
A. Sounds great. But we can take photos by our smart phone.
B. Ah, I know. The float must be necessary for both of us as we can’t swim.
A. That ‘s true. Why don’t I think of it. I’ll go to the store and buy one.
B. Me too. I have to go now. See you next week.
A. See you.\
