M: It's Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary next month. Shall we hold a party for them?

M: Then, let's take them out to have dinner at a restaurant.

W: Great! And we can buy some gifts for them.How about going shopping this Sunday?

M: OK.

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: 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, 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?

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.

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.
