W: Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. What kind of problems? M: Well, we haven't had any hot water for a couple of days now. I wonder if you could send someone to have a look at it. W: Of course. I'll get someone to come around at the weekend. M: Well, could he come around a bit sooner? I don't think we can manage until the weekend. W: I see. Okay. I'll send someone over this afternoon then. M: There's also the matter of the fridge. We all assumed there would be one in the flat when we moved in, because that's what we read from the advertisement in the newspaper. W: Ah, yes. Sorry about that. I got rid of the old fridge, but I didn't get around to ordering a new one yet. I'm really sorry. I'll order one today and get it delivered to you tomorrow.

Time sure flies! Now we are celebrating our golden anniversary! And Thomson was very friendly. You know, chefs seldom tell people their recipes. They often keep them a secret. W: I understand that. So you see, I have promised I will also keep the recipe a secret. M: Well, Thomson will appreciate that. Oh, but did you forget that Linda doesn't eat chicken? W: Linda? Oh, my Gosh! I forgot to invite her! She'll be mad at me. It just slipped my mind. Thanks for reminding me! I think I'm getting old! M: Looks like you are!, Question: How many years have the speakers got married?

I'm buying some Christmas gifts for those who work with me, but it's really a headache. M: Maybe I could give you some advice. Firstly, you'd better divide them into different groups-who were the people that are your friends as well as your workmates and who are the people you do not know well but you see pretty much daily. W: OK, then what should I do? M: For the friends, you want to get them personal gift. Do they like chocolate? W: This is what I always give, but I know Mary is on a diet. M: Does she like fruit or coffee? Anyway, think of the gift that you know your friend likes. W: Well, I think fruit is helpful to keep fit. What about the rest of them? M: Leave cards in their mailboxes or on their desks. W: Christmas cards? M: Yes, you can afford that. More importantly, it's true of them that you're thinking of them.
