Hoa meets Tim at the airport.
Tim: Hoa. I’d like you to meet my parents and my sister, Shannon.
Hoa: How do you do? Welcome to Viet Nam.
Mrs Jones: Thank you. It’s nice to meet you finally, Hoa.
Hoa: Can I help you with your bags, Mrs. Jones?
Mrs. Jones: Thank you. It’s great to be in Viet Nam.
Hoa: Would you mind sitting in the front seat of the taxi, Mr. Jones? I’d like to sit with Tim and Shannon.
Mr. Jones: No problem. I prefer the front seat.
Mrs. Jones: Are we far from Ha Noi?
Hoa: It’s about a 40-minute drive from the city center.
Tim: Look, Shannon! I can see a boy riding a water buffalo.
Shannon: Wow! This is very exciting. Are those rice paddies, Hoa?
Hoa: Yes, and the crop over there is corn. On the left, you can see sugar canes.
Tim: Would you mind if I took a photo?
Hoa: Not at all. I’ll ask the driver to stop the car.
