◈ Let’s Talk
Nina:  Hey are you watching the Doosan/Samsung game tonight?
SangHyuk:  Absolutely. The Bears are going to cream the Lions.  Go Doosan!
Nina:  What? Are you serious? Lions is going to win by a landslide. The Bears are dead meat.
SangHyuk: Do you really think so? How about a friendly wager? (a bet)
Nina: Sure! I bet you 10,000 won the Doosan Bears beat the Samsung Lions.
SangHyuk: Ah, that’s no fun. How about this? the loser has to carry the winner’s books and bags around for a day.
Nina: A day? That’s a piece of cake. (very easy)  Let’s make it a week! 
SangHyuk: You’re on! (Yes!) Let’s go, Bears, all the way!
