A: Hey, Annie, that looks really nice on you. Is it new?
B: Yeah, I got it on sale at George Brothers Department Store. I never miss their sales. They've got really good prices. A: Well, you made a good choice. That color looks great.
B: Thanks.
A: Oh! Look at the time. I didn't realize it was so late. I've got to run. Good seeing you!
2.
A: What are you taking this year?
B: Mostly literature courses.
A: Oh, really. Are they any good?
B: Some of them are. Except for Professor Scott's class. I mean, the books are interesting, and the lectures are great, but his tests are so hard.
A: Really? Are they essay or short answer tests?
3.
A: What an awful month we are having.
B: It's pretty bad, isn't it? So hot and humid. It's hard to sleep at night, too. I wish I had air conditioning.
A: Me, too.
B: Funny, it's not usually this hot in the fall.
A: That's true. Well, I think I'm going to get some more chips. Enjoy the party!
4.
A: So tell me, Kim. What's he like?
B: Well, he's really fun to be with. He always says funny things and makes me laugh.
A: He sounds really nice.
B: He is. And he's always giving me little presents. But I guess the gifts will stop when he knows me better.
A: Yeah, probably. So how long have you known him, anyway?
5.
A: So, are you still doing the same thing, David?
B: Yeah, I am, unfortunately. I wish I was doing something more challenging.
A: So why don't you look for something else?
B: I really should. I feel stuck in that office because I'm not moving ahead. That's the worst thing about it.
A: Well, good luck to you. If I hear about any jobs, I'll let you know.
6.
A: So, everybody's fine at home, Sarah?
B: Yes, they are, thanks. Oh, some exciting news! My sister Jenny's getting married!
A: Really? When?
B: Next month. She's marrying a guy she met when she was studying in Canada, and we're all going to Toronto for the wedding. It'll be fun.
A: Sounds great. And how about your brother? What's he been doing lately? |
