tuition fees, why don't you practice the phrases we've
learned today with our receptionist? She's quite
fluent in English, you know.
C - Oh, really? I didn't know that.

use the phrases when you're paying to the cashier, just
like what we've taken up today in our "Shopping" topic.
L - Okay. (to the receptionist) Kuri, I'd like to pay
in cash.
C - Me, I'd like to pay with my Diners card.
J - And, Sanae.
