Hi, Ms. Green! I’m going to Canada for winter vacation.

G :

I wish I were you! Well, it’ll be really cold, so make sure you bring a tuque.

H :

A “tuque”? What’s that?

G :

It’s a type of knit cap. It usually has a pom-pom on top. It’s very popular in Canada.

H :

Oh, we call that a “bobble hat” in Britain.

G :

Really? If we hadn’t talked, I wouldn’t have known that.
