Nick and Duong
- Who are they?
- What are they going to do?
- making plans
for the weekend.

Nick: Hi Duong. How are things?
Duong: Good. Oh, have you visited the Crazy Paint art gallery recently?
Nick: No, I haven’t. I heard that it’s not as good as it was before.
Duong: Oh, no! It’s great! I went there last weekend. The paintings are excellent!
So what shall we do this weekend?
Nick: Let me see. The La La Las are playing at the Young Club, let’s go!
Duong: But we can watch the concert live on TV.
Nick: Oh, come on! It’s quite different to be there in person-the musicians, the crowd,
the colourful lights, the atmosphere…it will be fantastic!
Duong: I don’t like so much noise, Nick. Loud pop music really isn’t my thing.
Come on, Duong. It will be exciting!
Duong: How about going to the cinema? I like films.
Nick: Me too. OK, we can go to the cinema if I get to choose the film!
