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:It's because I've been taking these courses.Actually, I've just learned how.
M:I can't cook at all and I can't even boil an egg.
W:You're kidding.Well, if you want to, you could take several classes at college and learn how to do it, too.
M:Forget it.I was not born for that.Oh, I just remembered.I wonder if I could possibly use your phone.
W:I'm sorry, but there's something wrong with my phone.It doesn't work.Is it really important??

W: Hello, Ben. You're getting ready for tomorrow's lessons, aren't you?
M:Yes. But I'm a little bit nervous because I have no idea how to get along with my classmates.
W:I understand how you're feeling. Just take it easy. You'll make a lot of new friends very soon.
M:Thank you. I am sure that I will. By the way, what time will the first lesson begin?
W:At 8 o'clock. But before that we have 10 minutes to hand in homework and then 20 minutes for morning reading.
M:So we must get to school before 7:30, right?
W:Right.
M:Well, I hear that lunchtime is nearly 12 o'clock and I'll be hungry by then.
W:Don't worry. During the break after the second class, we can buy something to eat.
M:That's good.
