don't know if you'd have time to get any work done good point yikes it's after 1:00 I have to go and spend the rest of the day in meetings I'm really glad I ran into you Laura tell Jim I said hi and that I'll call you soon so we can all have dinner great idea and say hi to Jenny and the kids see you [Music] hold it Kathy what in the world are you doing I can't believe my eyes what's the problem well don't you recycle how can you throw glass away Michael I was only
trying to help I know I know but I'm really surprised Kathy I thought you cared about the environment and I do care but there's no place to recycle bottles here and I wanted to help clean up you make me feel so guilty I'm sorry I did go a little crazy it's just that recently I did some research on pollution and found out that we're running out of places to put our garbage listen you two why don't we all go through these bags and take the bottles out I'll take them home and recycle them Oh Lee
you don't have to take them all why don't we each take a few yeah good idea Mike well let's get started so we can all go home [Music] okay we have a few more people to ask Carmen what are you doing over the break well my best friend will be here for two weeks and I'm going to show her around I can't wait to see her wow that sounds really nice there's so much to do around here I'm sure you'll have a great time and Danny how about you I don't have anything planned really well
I was going to go back home but it didn't work out what happened I didn't get my ticket early enough and now the prices are really high that's happened to me before to get a good price you really need to get your ticket for in advance I know but I think I'm better off staying here anyway so I can work more on my English Wow that's music to my ears good for you Danny and now may what are you going to do over the break nothing much I have to work I have a part-time job
well at least you won't have any homework for a while do you have any plans for the break uh-huh and I'm really looking forward to it I'm going to take it easy take walks go to the movies visit friends read oh wow look at the time it's time to go when I hate to say goodbye I hope you all got a lot out of our class and that you'll keep in touch have a great break and above all don't forget to speak English [Music]
