TOPIC 3 SPORTS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

Đoạn hội thoại: “Staying Active” Hey Olivia, do you still go jogging in the mornings? Yeah, I try to keep up the routine. It helps me stay in shape and clears my head. That’s great. I’ve been meaning to get back into working out. I’ve just been a bit out of shape lately. True. I used to hit the gym three times a week, but lately I’ve been tied up with work. Same here, but I signed up for a yoga class last month — it really helps me unwind and stay flexible. Sounds like something I should try. I’ve heard it’s good for both the body and the mind. Absolutely. Plus, it’s low-impact, so it's easier on the joints. You don’t have to go all out to feel the benefits. Alright, maybe I’ll give it a shot. I just need to get...

TOPIC 4 ENTERTAINMENT

Đoạn hội thoại: “Weekend Entertainment Plans” Hey Josh, have you seen the new movie everyone’s talking about? You mean The Night Runner? Yeah, I caught it last night. It totally lived up to the hype. Nice! I’ve been dying to watch something good. I’m so bored of scrolling through random stuff on streaming platforms. I know the feeling. These days, I either binge-watch a whole series or end up watching nothing at all. Same here. I’ve been meaning to check out that live music venue downtown. They’ve got some great local bands playing this weekend That sounds fun! I haven’t been to a gig in ages. I miss the atmosphere — it’s just not the same as listening at home. Exactly. And grabbing dinner after a show sounds like a perfect night out. Count me in. It’s about time we did something different...

TOPIC 5 WORK

Đoạn hội thoại: “Catching Up at Work” Hey Lisa, how’s work going these days? Busy as usual. I’ve been juggling multiple projects and trying to meet tight deadlines. Tell me about it. I’ve been swamped with emails and back-to-back meetings. Sounds like we’re in the same boat. Are you still working from home part-time? Yeah, two days a week. I enjoy the flexibility, but I do miss the team sometimes. Same here. It’s nice not having to commute every day, though. For sure. But I feel like it’s harder to switch off when your office is also your living room. Exactly! I try to stick to a routine — log off by 6 and avoid checking emails in the evening. Good idea. I need to set better boundaries. Anyway, we should grab coffee sometime and catch up properly. Definitely. Let’s set something up for next...
