Class Reunion
Listening Exercises

Amanda: Hey, I know you. You're James, right? James Roberts.
James: Amanda Brown. Wow! It's been a long time.
Amanda: Yeah. Oh, are you going to the class reunion in two weeks?
James: Uh, I heard about it, but I'm not sure. Where is it?
Amanda: The reunion is going to be held at the Mountain Country Club across from City Park.
James: And what time does it start?
Amanda: I think it starts at 6:00.
James: And how much does it cost?
Amanda: It's twenty dollars a ticket, and that includes dinner and entertainment.
James: What kind of entertainment are they going to have?
Amanda: They're going to have a live jazz band and dancing.
James: And who is organizing the event?
Amanda: Do you remember Chad Phillips?
James: Uh, wasn't he the quarterback on the football team?
Amanda: Right. Well, he married Sarah Rogers, and they are in charge of the event. So, what do you think? Are you going?
James: I don't know. I never really fit in in high school. I was kind of a loner. I also remember asking Sarah out on a date, and she turned me down. She said she was sick, and it turned out she went out with someone that same night. It could be a little awkward.
Amanda: Hey, why don't we go together?
James: Are you sure?
Amanda: Yeah.
James: Well, sure. Why not. To be honest, I always thought you were very nice. I just never had the guts to ask you out.
Amanda: Well, here's your chance.
James: Sounds great. So, what's your number so I can call you?
Amanda: It's 435-923-6017.
James: 6017, Okay. Where do you live?
Amanda: I only live two blocks south of the old high school.
James: Okay. I remember where you live. Let me call you a few days before to confirm things.
Amanda: Sounds good. It should be fun.

Amanda: Này, tôi biết bạn. Bạn là James, phải không? James Roberts.
James: Amanda Brown. Wow! Đã được một thời gian dài.
Amanda: Phải. Oh, bạn sẽ đến lớp hội ngộ trong hai tuần?
James: Uh, tôi đã nghe về nó, nhưng tôi không chắc lắm. Nó đâu rồi?
Amanda: Cuộc hội ngộ sẽ được tổ chức tại Mountain Country Club đối diện với City Park.
James: Và nó bắt đầu từ lúc nào?
Amanda: Tôi nghĩ nó bắt đầu lúc 6:00.
James: Và chi phí là bao nhiêu?
Amanda: Hai mươi đô la một vé, và bao gồm bữa tối và giải trí.
James: Họ sẽ có loại giải trí gì?
Amanda: Họ sẽ có một ban nhạc jazz sống và nhảy múa.
James: Và ai đang tổ chức sự kiện?
Amanda: Anh có nhớ Chad Phillips không?
James: Uh, anh ấy không phải là tiền vệ trong đội bóng?
Amanda: Đúng vậy. Vâng, ông kết hôn với Sarah Rogers, và họ chịu trách nhiệm về sự kiện này. Vậy bạn nghĩ như thế nào? Bạn có đi không?
James: Tôi không biết. Tôi không bao giờ thực sự phù hợp ở trường trung học. Tôi là một người cô đơn. Tôi cũng nhớ yêu cầu Sarah hẹn hò, và cô ấy từ chối tôi. Cô ấy nói cô ấy bị bệnh, và hóa ra cô ấy đã đi chơi với một người cùng đêm đó. Nó có thể hơi khó xử.
Amanda: Này, sao chúng ta không đi cùng nhau?
James: Bạn có chắc không?
Amanda: Phải.
James: Vâng, chắc chắn rồi. Tại sao không. Thành thật mà nói, tôi luôn nghĩ bạn rất tử tế. Tôi chỉ không bao giờ có can đảm để hỏi bạn.
Amanda: Vâng, đây là cơ hội của bạn.
James: Thật tuyệt vời. Vì vậy, số của bạn là gì để tôi có thể gọi cho bạn?
Amanda: Đó là 435-923-6017.
James: 6017, Được rồi. Bạn sống ở đâu?
Amanda: Tôi chỉ sống hai khối phía nam của trường trung học cũ.
James: Được rồi. Tôi nhớ nơi bạn sống. Hãy để tôi gọi cho bạn một vài ngày trước để xác nhận mọi thứ.
Amanda: Nghe hay đấy. Thật thú vị.
