Conversation One
W: Good morning. Can I help you?

W: Is that a summer course you’re interested in?
M: Yes, please.
W: OK. Well, we have…erm…short intensive full-time courses during the summer.
M: mm-mm. I would want to know the length of one course.
W: Yes. Each course lasts for three weeks.
M: How many hours per week, please?
W: Well, it’s about twenty-three hours a week. Usually four and a half days each week.
M: You must have a lot of students in the class, haven’t you?
W: We have a lot of students in the school but in the classes only about between 12 and 14 students.
M: 12 and 14. Could you please give me the dates of the first and the second course?
W: Yes, certainly. The first course begins on 3 July and lasts until 20 July and the second course is from 24 July until 10 August.

M: How much does it cost?

W: Hi, Scott, have you heard about Diana recently?

W: Well, she is OK. She only had a little accident last week in her new car.
M: Oh, It’s too bad! Was anybody hurt? Was there much damage?
W: No, it was really a small accident and everybody was fine. It was the other driver's fault.
M: Well, that's good. By the way, is she still going out with David?
W: Haven't you heard yet? They're getting married!
M: You are kidding!
W: She said he gave her a ring on her birthday.
M: My! How romantic! When is the big day?
W: This October.
M: Will it be a church wedding or a civil one?
W: Diana is a catholic. So, there will be a church wedding.
M: Good. No doubt, she will be very beautiful in her wedding gown.
W: Surely, and she’s invited me to be her maid of honor.
M: Did you promise her?
W: Yes, I did. It'll be my first time.
M: Whom did David ask to be his best man?
W: He told me that you would be his best choice.
