Tom: Hi, Trang. Surprised to see you. What brings you here?

Trang: Oh, hello Tom. I'm looking for a knitting kit.

Tom: A knitting kit? I didn't know you like knitting.

Trang: Actually, I'm keen on many DIY activities. In my leisure time, I love knitting, building dollhouses, and making paper flowers.

Tom: I see. So, you like spending time on your own.

Trang: Yeah. What do you do in your free time?

Tom: I'm a bit different. I usually hang out with my friends. We go to the cinema, go cycling, or play sport in the park.

Trang: You love spending free time with other people, don't you?

Tom: That's right. By the way, would you like to go to the cinema with me and Mark this Sunday? There's a new comedy at New World Cinema.

Trang: Yes, I'd love to. Can I ask Mai to join us?

Tom: Sure. Let's meet outside the cinema at 9 a.m.

Jack: It sounds noisy there.

Justin: It is! The spectators aren't just listening, they're clapping and shouting and singing with the music.

Jack: Thank you, Justin. And in Helsinki, Finland, Pam Sykes is reporting on the Helsinki Festival.
