: People drank more milk after hearing that?
: Yes! In the US, June is National Dairy Month. And they usually drink milk and eat products made of milk. : What are they?
: Cheese is one, so is ice cream. I think my favourite food is cheese. : I have to agree with you there.
: Sometimes I like ice cream, although we shouldn't eat that as often as we drink a glass of milk. The phrase “got milk” became better known and helped some people make a lot of money. : Ha... That's funny! And then it's used in other ways, right?
: Well, yes! You might see newspapers and T－shirts that say “got guitar” “got dogs”“got fruit”. Ha...Oh, that's a lot of fun!

: How long are you planning to stay here?
: I've got three weeks altogether. What do you suggest I see? : What would you like to do?
: I think I'd like to see some of the things that you can't find in other countries.
: Well, I suggest you see some of our national parks. You've got lots of old buildings in your country. Ours is a fairly new country, so our cities and towns are modern. But I guess we've got some of the most beautiful mountains and countryside in the world. Why don't you hire a car and drive around for a couple of weeks? : Is it expensive to rent a car?
: No, not very. You need a driving license. Have you got one? : Yes.
: I think you'd better fly somewhere in the west. Then you can pick up a car and travel around. : What about places to stay?
