Conversations:
At a Meeting
Mr. Robert: Sales have been off quite a bit this month. I think
we need a big sale to get
things moving.
Mrs. Heina: I’m not sure that’s the best idea. In my opinion,
people will get used to the
lower prices and not want to buy when the sale is over.
Mr. Robert: Maybe we could offer a short-term rebate?
Mrs. Heina: I might go along with that.
Between Friends
Mark: What do you think of having hiking expedition next Sunday?
Costa: I think it’s an excellent idea.
Mark: But don’t you think the season is not right for hiking?
Can’t we wait till the
monsoon is over? I believe it is rather risky going up hills
during the season.
Costa: But then don’t you also agree that there is an element of risk in any adventure?
Mark: Of
course. As far as I’m concerned, I’ll be glad to join. I was only expressing my
view.
Mr. Zoe : What do you think of my new house?
Shane : It is beautiful. I think. Oh you have many novels in your new house.
Mr. Zoe : Yeah, some. I like Andrea Hirata’s novels.
Shane : How do you feel about Andrea Hirata’s novels ?
Mr. Zoe : I feel they are great novels.
Shane : Yes, you are right. I think it is going to rain.
Mr. Zoe : I don’t think so. Look outside at the sky! It’s so clear. No clouds there.
Shane : But I watched the weather forecast yesterday. It said that today is going
to rain. OK Mr. Zoe see you.
