パート3: ショートストーリー

Online English Classes

Yuko is from Japan. She can speak Japanese and English. Next month, she will go to America on a homestay, so she started taking online English classes. She had the textbook but she didn’t have an English dictionary. She asked her sister, “Can you come to the store with me? I need to buy an English dictionary.”
