A2 Reading Comprehension

Yesterday, I met my friend Hana at a park in Nara. We talked about our plans for the weekend. Here’s our conversation:

Me: Hana, what are you doing this weekend?

Hana: I’m going to a pottery class. I want to make a cup. What about you?

Me: That sounds fun! I’m planning to visit a temple with my family. It’s near our house.

Hana: Nice! Have you been to that temple before?

Me: Yes, but it’s always peaceful. I like the garden there. Have you made pottery before?

Hana: Only once. It’s hard, but I love creating things. Last time, I made a small bowl.

Me: Cool! Let’s meet next week and you can show me your cup.

Hana: Sure, let’s do it!

We ate ice cream and walked around the park. It was a relaxing day.
