CONVERSATIONS
Conversation 1
a.
B: You know what, I think I will. There’s no point in both of us eating alone.
b.
B: Great. And here’s mine.
c.
A: Well, I was thinking of checking out one of the restaurants. I don’t suppose
you’d like to join me for dinner?
d.
A: Great. Do you like Italian food? There’s supposed to be a really nice Italian
restaurant near the old castle.
e.
1 A: So, do you have any plans for this evening?
f.
A: OK, well, it’s up to you. If you do decide to join me, you’ll be very
welcome.
g.
A: Perfect. OK, so here’s my business card – you can call me if you can’t find
it.
h.
B: Well, I don’t know. Possibly …
i.
B: Sounds great. Shall we say seven o’clock?
j.
B: Not really. I thought I might have a walk around the old town later. What
about you?
Conversation 2
k.
B: By the way, please allow me to pay for tonight’s meal. I can put it on my
company’s invoice.
l.
A: Well, er, OK, then that’s very kind of you. Thank-you. In that case, you must
allow me to at least buy you a drink. What can I get you?
m.
B: No – I got here about five minutes early, but I’ve been admiring the view of
the castle. It’s spectacular, isn’t it.
n.
B: Please, I insist. You were kind enough to invite me, so it’s the least I can do.
o.
B: Just an orange juice for me, please. Thank-you. Now, you must tell me more
about this project you mentioned earlier.
p.
A: It is indeed.
q. 11 A: Ah, you’re here already. Have you been waiting long?
r.
A: No, no, I wouldn’t dream of it. I invited you.
Conversation 3
s.
B: No, I’m fine, thanks. I think I’ll walk – I need some exercise after all that food.
t.
A: OK, fair enough. What are you doing tomorrow evening?
u.
B: No, no. It’s not a problem.
v.
A: It’s really my pleasure. And are you sure I can’t pay for anything?
w.
B: I’m flying back tomorrow afternoon, I’m afraid. Why do you ask?
x.
A: Oh, nothing. I was just going to suggest meeting up with some of my
colleagues. But it doesn’t matter. I’m going to order a taxi back now. Can I offer
you a lift anywhere?
y. 19 B: That was a lovely meal. Thank-you again for inviting me.
