_Minh_: Hi, Tom. Are you back in Ha Noi? _Tom_: Yes. I came back yesterday. Can we meet up this Sunday morning? I bought you a board game. _Minh_: Sure, I can't wait! But our Green School Club will have some community activities on that morning. _Tom_: What activities does your club do? _Minh_: Well, we pick up litter around our school and plant vegetables in our school garden. _Tom_: School gardening? That's fantastic! _Minh_: Yes. We donate the vegetables to a nursing home. Does your school have any activities like these? _Tom_: Yes. We donate books to homeless children. We also have English classes. Last summer, we taught English to 30 kids in the area. _Minh_: Sounds like great work! _Tom_: Thanks. _Minh_: ... So, let's meet in the afternoon then.
