Section A 2a, 2b　

Daisy: Hi, Maria. How was Paul’s party?

Maria: Oh, Daisy, it was terrible.

Daisy: It was?

Maria: Uh-huh.

Daisy: What happened?

Maria: Well, I was supposed to arrive at 7:00, but I arrived at 8:00.

Daisy: Oh, so you were late.

Maria: Yeah, but in my country, it’s different. When you’re invited for 7:00, you’re expected to come later! It’s considered strange to turn up on time.

Daisy: I see.

Maria: Then when I met Paul’s mom, I kissed her.

Daisy: Oh… you were supposed to shake hands instead.

Maria: That’s right. And I wore a fancy dress.

Daisy: What’s wrong with that?

Maria: Well, it turned out that it was an outdoor party, Daisy. Everyone else was in a T-shirt and jeans.

Daisy: I guess next time you should ask what you’re supposed to wear.
