Conversation 1
Tam: I think we should go to the Seattle School of English in the USA. You can stay with Vietnamese friends.
Kim: I disagree because we can;t practice speaking English with native speakers
Thu: Why don’t we go to the Brighton Language Center in the United Kingdom ? If we go there, we can live in dormitory on campus.
Tam: But the course is too expensive. It costs US $2,000.
Kim: What do you think about the Brisbane Institute of English in Australia?
Thu: I think it’s quite close to Vietnam.
Tam: And we can enjoy the beautiful scenery there.
Kim: If we go there, we can stay with an Australian family to discover their culture and practice English as well.
Thu: People said that they have a good way of teaching English and the course is acceptable. It costs US $ 1,200
Tam: Let’s go to Autralia to attend that course.
Kim: I absolutely agree with you.
