Situation 9: Walking in Los Angeles
(Mr. Park and Su-mi decide to go for a walk near Mrs. Kim's house.)
Mrs. Kim: Are you tired?
Mr. Park: No, I feel fine. What about you, Sue?
Su-mi (Sue): No, I'm not tired. Why do you ask?
Mrs. Kim: Well, in front of our house, there are many nice stores. I thought you might want to take a walk and see some of them.
Mr. Park: Okay, That sounds fun. Do you want to go too, Sue?
Su-mi (Sue): Of course I want to go. I love shopping.
Mr. Park: Well, I can't promise you whether you can buy anything or not. So we won't really be shopping.
Su-mi (Sue): That's all right. I like window-shopping, too.
Mr. Park: Okay, let's go. We'll come back in about thirty minutes.
Mrs. Kim: Thirty minutes? All right. See you then.
(Mr. Park and Su-mi go out of the house and go down the street to where there are many stores.)
Mr. Park: Hey, there is a store that sells food and drinks.
Su-mi (Sue): Can we go in? I am thirsty.
Mr. Park: Yes, I am thirsty, too.
(Mr. Park and Su-mi go into the store, but they cannot find the milk. Mr. Park asks the man working at the store "where it is?')
Mr. Park: Excuse me, but where is the 'milk'?
(a man): I am sorry. What are you looking for?
Mr. Park: Milk. I want to know where the 'milk' is?
(a man): I am very sorry, but I can't understand.
Su-mi (Sue): We are looking for some milk.
(a man): Oh, milk! Thank you. It is in the back of the store, next to the cheese and eggs.
Mr. Park: Wow, Sue. Your pronunciation is very good. That is the different between the old and the new generation.
