Do you know how to discuss purpose in English?

I'll explain it in just a moment.

Hi, my name is Alicia, and in this lesson, you'll learn how to discuss purpose through a quick conversation.

Let's look at the dialogue.

So, what are you doing here in New York, Jack?

Learning about food?

When I go back home, I'm going to open up the

most extraordinary hamburger place in all of London. You? Back in China, I was studying to be a musician,

but I gave up on that dream. Now I'm setting up an agency to represent American artists in China.

What's that? Sorry, I couldn't hear you. It's pretty noisy here.

Well, I just want to start an artist management agency.

Is that so? When I open up my restaurant, I want a big stage to book live shows.

Maybe you can help me with that.

Sure. By the way, where's Tess? Tess? She said she'd meet us later. Had to go to the library

so that she could drop off some books, she said. Let's go over the dialogue again, more slowly
