A: That sounds amazing! What made you choose Japan?
B: Well, I’ve always been fascinated by Japanese culture, and I’ve heard so
many great things about the country. Plus, I’ve been wanting to try authentic
sushi for a long time.
A: That’s a great reason! Have you planned out your itinerary yet?

want to explore Tokyo and visit some traditional temples in Kyoto.

looking forward to?

experience a traditional tea ceremony in Kyoto.

preparing for?

around. And I’ve been researching the local customs and etiquette to ensure

forget to try some local street food too! It’s usually delicious.

to indulge in some ramen and sushi.

3. Write a short dialogue including FORMAL greetings and farewells

Julia: Good morning, I was wondering if your bank is offering a loan to

buy a car. I want to buy a car for my work, but I need a loan for that.

David: Yes, ma'am. We offer loans for the purchase of a car. Do you

have a bank account at this bank?

Julia: Yes. I have a bank account here. Actually, I have some documents

to show you my banking details.

David: That's great. Can I look at your credentials?

Julia: Yes, here they are!

David: It seems that you are availing two other loans from the bank

and you have not fully repaid the loans yet. It's true?

Julia: Yes. I have been availing two loans, namely a home loan and an

education loan for my children. Can I get another loan? I have been

paying the monthly installments of the other two loans regularly.

David: I'm sorry, ma'am. You cannot avail three loans at the same time.

You can apply for another loan when you have paid off one of your
 current loans. That will be in December and you can apply on that

date.

Julia: Oh! I see. Thanks for your valuable information.
