raining.

directions, meeting new people, hobbies,

plans, and the weather.

>> That is a lot of conversation practice.

>> And now, how do we end a conversation?

>> Ah, yes. Saying goodbye. This is very

important. I cannot just walk away.

>> No, Emily, please don't. It is not

polite.

>> Okay. Okay. So, what do I say?

>> You can give a reason. Well, I have to

go now.

>> I have to go to work.

>> I have to meet my friend.

>> It is getting late.

was nice to talk to you.
