• Year, it sounds nice, doesn’t it? I wish I could play a musical instrument.

• Don’t you play the violin?

• No, but my sister does. Actually, she is pretty good at it.

• I took flute lessons for a couple of years but I never learned to play very well. I guess I don’t have any musical talent.

• Oh, that’s not true. You sing very well. I can’t even do that.

10. - Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me.

• Yeah, I thought so, too. That’s what the weatherman said.

• It must be the wind that makes it so cold. I’m freezing!

• Me, too. Let’s go inside.

13. - That’s a beautiful cat. I wonder who it belongs to.

• It belongs to the Browns. They live across the street from us. They have three cats, two dogs and a canary.

• Don’t ask me. Ask the Browns.

• Five dollars.

• All right. I’ll take them.

• Why do you say that? I think you are making a lot of progress.

• OK. Let’s play, then. We’ll see who’s the best.

29. - Would you like some cookies? I just made them.

• Thank you. Yes, I would.

• These are chocolate, and those are almond-flavoured.

• I guess I’ll try a chocolate one first. Mmm, this is delicious. Are they hard to make?

• No, they are really quite easy. Wait a minute, I’ve got the recipe right here.

• Looks easy. I think I’ll make some tonight.

30. - I hear you’ve been ill.

• Well, I had the flu for a couple of weeks, but now I’ fine.

• You’re looking well. By the way, did you hear about Mrs. Jackson?

• No. What about her?

• She had such a bad case of the flu that they had to take her to the hospital.

• Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

31. - Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?
