M: Where are you going for your next vacation?
W: Well, I’m going to Italy.
M: Oh. What’s the weather like there?
W: It’s beautiful ... And it’s always sunny and warm!
M: Really? What are you doing there?
W: Oh, going to the beach ... maybe playing volleyball
...
M: Anything else?
W: Oh, yes, going sightseeing, going shopping, you know,
the usual ...
M: And how long are you staying?
W: Oh, only for three weeks ...
M: Well, that sounds wonderful!

M: Oh, Anne, that was a wonderful dinner. That’s the best
meal I’ve ever had.
W: Thank you.
M: Can I give you a hand with the dishes?
W: I’ll do them myself later. Would you like some coffee?
M: Thanks a lot. I’d love some. Oh, Anne, I didn’t
realize you were such a good
cook.
W: (laughs) Actually, I’ve only just learned how. It’s because I’ve
been taking
these courses.
M: Why, I can’t cook at all, can’t even boil an egg.
W: You’re kidding. Well, if you want to, you could take
several classes over at the
college and learn how to do it, too.
M: Thanks a lot, but… I’m pretty busy these days. Oh, I
just remembered. I wonder
if I could possibly use your phone.
W: Oh, I’m sorry, but there’s something wrong with the
phone. It doesn’t work.
Is it really important?
M: Well, you see, I have
to call my secretary about tomorrow’s work plan. So, I’m
afraid I have to go now. Thank you for your dinner.
W: You’re welcome. Good night then.
M: Good night.
