p. 3-4 - find the illustration of each idiom from the conversation about this party

p. 5 - read and listen to the “real” pronunciation of this conversation
We sometimes write “dunno”, “wanna”, “gonna”, and “gotta” in informal conversations.

graduate - ‘d’ + ‘y’ = ‘j’
future - ‘t’ + ‘y’ = ‘ch’
When it’s between two words, this is an informal pronunciation.  Inside one word, it’s the standard pronunciation.

cure, pure
sure
