Li Ming, Jenny, and Brian are chatting online.

Jenny: Hi, Li Ming. Let me introduce you to my cousin, Brian. He’s going to stay with my family this year.

Brian: Ni Hao! Nice to meet you, Li Ming.

Li Ming: Nice to meet you too, Brian. You’re from London, right? 

Brian: Yes, and I am very interested in Chinese culture. I hope you can help me with it.

Li Ming: No problem! We can learn together.

Jenny: Speaking of learning, how’s Grade 8 going for you, Li Ming?

Li Ming: It’s going well. It’s similar to Grade 7. We have a new subject this term — physics. It seems interesting. How about you?

Jenny: I’m learning a new language — French.

Li Ming: That’s great, Jenny. You’re good at learning languages.

Jenny: Thanks, Li Ming.

Li Ming: Today at school, we talked about our future jobs. Jenny, perhaps you can be a language teacher.

Jenny: Hmm, I’ll consider that! Brian is talented in art. Maybe he can study Chinese art in the future.

Brian: Haha, I hope so! That would be fun. What about you, Li Ming?

Li Ming: Well, I’m not sure yet. Maybe I’ll be a teacher or an engineer. I do know that every job requires hard work.

Jenny & Brian: Exactly!
