Mai: Hey Khánh, seriously, that big gray wall by the park entrance is just so ugly, right?

Khánh: Yeah, it's very plain. (1)

Mai: I was thinking: What if we organized a project to create community art?

Khánh: Ooh, I love that idea, Mai! Like, a huge colorful painting?

Mai: Exactly! (2)

Khánh: That would be fantastic! It would totally change the feeling of the area.

Mai: (3)

Khánh: And maybe ask the older people about which traditional colors we should use.

Mai: We definitely need to get permission first, you know, from the local committee.

Khánh: Of course. (4)

Mai: If everyone works together, even for a few hours, the change will be huge.

Khánh: I agree. (5)

Mai: It shows everyone that we care deeply about making our town beautiful.

Khánh: A fantastic mural will make our whole neighborhood look much more welcoming.

Mai: Let's start contacting the council about this amazing community art idea right now!

Lan: Hi Quang! I have finished reading these three novels, but I don't want to throw them away.

Quang: Hey Lan! I have the same problem with my old books. They just sit on the shelf.

Lan: We should do something about it. (1)

Quang: That's a clever idea! (2)

Lan: Maybe we could use a small, old cabinet and place it near the communal gate?

Quang: Oh, like a tiny outdoor library! We could call it a free community book swap.

Lan: Yes! (3)

Quang: It would be great because not everyone can afford to buy new books all the time.

Lan: (4)

Quang: We need to put up a simple sign explaining the rules for the book swap.

Lan: We should ask the local youth club to join us and help decorate the little cabinet.

Quang: Getting them involved makes it a true community project! It teaches them responsibility.

Lan: Exactly! (5)

Quang: I think this is a fantastic idea, Lan. (6)

Lan: Great! More reading for everyone is always a win for our local area.
