What’s up, listeners? Gary Scott Fine, here. Thank you so much for joining us.
Hello everyone, I’m Hannah Grace. I’m so happy to be with you today.
Hello, I’m Sumida Moeno. I’m excited to learn more.
Ooh, let’s do it!
Let’s do it here. Okay, now let’s start.
Topic 23: What could you do to make the world better?
Day 2
Let’s start by listening to this week’s dialogue.
Hugo and May are talking about ways they could make the world better.
Now, let’s find out more about what May says. We’ll ask you some questions.

Everyone, let’s think together.
Moeno?
To buy food that’s closer to the expiration date.
Hmm. Very nice! Let’s listen to what May says.

Try not to waste anything. Use everything up. I also try to buy food that’s closer to the expiration date.
So, one way to answer is “Use everything up.” Another way to answer is “Try to buy food that’s closer to the expiration date,” or just, “Buy food that’s closer to the expiration date.” Hmm.

Everyone, let’s practice saying the answer like this.
If vegetables start to get old, he uses them in fried rice or soup.
Very nice.
-What would you say?
This week’s topic is:
What could you do to make the world better?
Today, let’s look at some ways to talk about your idea of a better world.
In the dialogue, May points out to Hugo that a lot of food gets thrown out in restaurants and stores and even at home.
Yes. And in response, Hugo says,
In an ideal world, we wouldn’t waste food.
In an ideal world, we wouldn’t waste food.
