M: There will be a meeting after class. Are you coming, Helen?
W: After class? I'm sorry, Mike. I'm afraid I can't.
M: But it's quite important. It's about our helping Bob.
W: Oh, I have to go home to look after my mother. She's ill today.
M: Sorry to hear that. Then we'll have to have the meeting without you. I'll tell you about the meeting tomorrow morning.
W: Thanks.

M: Morning, Sue. Did you enjoy your holiday in the country?
W: Yes, thanks. We had a great time. And some friends went with us.
M: Where did you stay? In a hotel?
W: No. We camped in the mountains, near Snowdon. We cooked all our meals over an open fire.
M: Sounds wonderful. Was the weather good?
W: The sun shone nearly every day and it didn't rain at all.
M: Did you like the people there?
W: Yes, they were great. We met some farmers and had tea in their houses.

W: May I help you?
M: Yes, I'd like to send this letter to my friend in England.
W: Did you write your return address on the envelope?
M: Yes, I did.
W: How do you want to send it?
M: I guess I will send it by airmail.
W: Does it have anything valuable inside?
M: Yes. I enclosed a check and some photographs.
W: Then you'd better send it by registered mail.
M: That's a good idea. Will you take care of that for me?
W: I'm sorry, sir. You'll have to take your letter to the next window.

M: Hello.
W: Hello, Dad?
M: Yes, Mary! How are you? Is there anything wrong?
W: Oh, no. I just want to call and see how you and Mum are. It's been quite a long time since I saw you.
M: Oh, we're both fine. Your mother is at the new shopping center.
W: For a new dress?
M: No, for shoes this time. How's Tom?
W: He's fine. He likes his work and was given a rise last month by Mr.David. We were all pretty pleased about that.
M: Yes, I think you should be. And how is Billy?
W: Well, Billy's home from school today. It's nothing serious, just a bad cold.
M: That's OK. Call again.
W: All right. Bye.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past.Last year, however, Mr.Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to visit London and stay at a really good hotel.
They got to London late that evening.They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in New Jersey, no meals are served after seven.Therefore, they were surprised to hear the man ask whether they would take dinner there that night.
"Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr.Smith.
"Yes, certainly, sir," answered the man. "We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three, tea from four to five and dinner from six to half past nine."
"But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London!" said Mrs.Smith.
