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: Yes. 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.
