N：Hello Keith. Today, I' d like you to mow the lawn and get rid of the weeds along the walkway here.
K：No problem. Is that all？
N：After that, could you help me spread some new fertilizer around the vegetable garden？ I want to plant a few things later this week.
K：Absolutely. What about those bushes along the house？ Should I give them a trim？
N：Oh, that would be nice.
