Mark: Hi, Jane.
Jane: Oh, hi Mark.
Mark: I'm really looking forward to the food festival. I love Chinese food and I hope our friends can come.
Jane: Well, I'm afraid most of them are busy.
Mark: What even Marco? He always says he has nothing to do and that he's interested in trying new food.
Jane: Mohammed says Marco has no money. Mohammed can't go because he is helping his flatmate decorate his room.
Mark: But the festival is free!
Jane: Yes, but we have to go there on the underground and I'm sure he'll want to buy some food when he's there.
Mark: Well, I don't have much money either, perhaps Pierre could lend him some. He's got a job and he is Marco's best friend.
Jane: Oh, Pierre can't come either.
Mark: Really? Is he at work? All he thinks about is work!
Jane: No, his parents are coming from France and he's going to show them around London ... you know, Big Ben, Tower Bridge ...
Mark: OK, what about Hang Vie, her mother owns a Chinese restaurant, she must be interested.
Jane: She is, but she's going to help with the cooking for her family's party on the day we're going. I don't know about Lucy and Larissa though.
Mark: Well, I phoned Lucy, but her flatmate said she was on holiday in Italy and won't be back until the week after the festival.
Jane: I didn't even know she was on holiday. And Larissa?
Mark: She's got a really important exam, so she needs to prepare for it!
Jane: Well, it looks like it's just going to be you and me then. Not to worry. We'll take lots of photos to show everyone! |
