1.Daily Greetings

（1）Chance Meeting

John：Hello，Kate！Fancy meeting you here！Working again，are you？

Kate：Yes，I've got to，if I want to pass all of the exams.

John：How are you getting along，then？All right？

Kate：Yes，not too bad，thanks. I'm a bit fed up revising though. How about you？

John：Pretty good，thanks. My exams are over now，so I can afford to relax a bit. I'm going to a football match this afternoon. It's terrible weather，though. I hope it doesn't rain.

Kate：Yeah，awful. By the way，how's Jane？

John：Oh，she's all right—busy as usual. Well，I'd better be going，I suppose. The match starts at 3：30. Bye！

（2）Neighbours

Boy：Hi. I'm your new neighbour，Garry Fields. I live next door.

Girl：Oh，hi. I'm Lisa Stephens.

Boy：So，you just moved in？Do you need anything？

Girl：Not right now. But thanks.

Boy：Well，let me know if you do. Um，by the way，would you mind turning your stereo down？The walls are really thin，so the sound goes right through to my apartment.

Girl：Oh，I'm sorry！ I didn't realise that. I'll make sure to keep the volume down. Um，by the way，is there a good Italian restaurant in the neighbourhood？

Boy：Yeah. There's a great one a couple of blocks from here. Try their lasagna. It's delicious！

（3）Party

Peter：My name is Peter. What's your name？

Jane：My name is Jane. Nice to meet you.

Peter：It's a pleasure. This is a great party！

Jane：Yes，it is. Where are you from？

Peter：I'm from Amsterdam.

Jane：Amsterdam？Really，are you German？

Peter：No，I'm not German. I'm Dutch.

Jane：Oh，you're Dutch. Sorry about that.

Peter：That's OK. Where are you from？

Jane：I'm from London，but I'm not British.

Peter：No，what are you？

Jane：Well，my parents were Spanish，so I'm Spanish，too.

Peter：That's very interesting. Spain is a beautiful country.

Jane：Thank you. It is a wonderful place.
