At your American friend, Shaun’s house
Shaun: Hi! I’m so glad you could come over!
Ukrainian Exchange Student: Thank you very much for the invitation! Doing my homework by myself is so boring.
Shaun: No problem! Do you want to meet my parents?
U.E.S: Uh, ok, but I’m a little shy and I’m afraid that my English isn’t very good.
Shaun: Don’t worry about it! They’re excited to meet you.
U.E.S: Alright!
Shaun: Mom! Dad! Come and meet my new homework buddy!
Shaun’s mom and dad enter the room

U.E.S.: Thank you very much, you have a lovely house.
Shaun’s Mom: Thank you! My , your English is so good! Where did you learn to speak so well?
U.E.S: Back in Ukraine at school. During the 9th grade, I had a Peace Corps Volunteer teacher and she really helped my progress.
Shaun’s Mom: Well, isn’t that nice!
Shaun’s Dad: Would you like some tea? I know Ukrainians love tea.
U.E.S: No thank you. I think maybe we should get started on our homework now.
