Dialogue 1: A Damaged telephone

Daisy: Hello! This is 22882228.
David: Hello Daisy. This is David.
Daisy: Oh, hi, darling.
David: What did you do yesterday, Daisy? You forgot our date, didn’t you?
Daisy: Well, it rained all day, David, and I had a bad cold, so I decided to stay at home.
David: Did you? I phoned twenty times and nobody answered.
Daisy: Oh, the telephone line was damaged. They repaired it today.
David: Well Daisy.
Daisy: What David?
David: Oh, don’t worry about it. What did Donald do yesterday? Did he and Diane go dancing?
Daisy: No, they didn’t yesterday. They just stayed at home and played cards.
David: And what did you do? Did you play cards too?
Daisy: No. Georgia and I listened to the radio and studied. What did you do yesterday, David?
David: I’ve just told you, Daisy. I tried to phone you twenty times!


Dialogue 2: The hat in the Window

Miss Brothers: I want to buy the hat in the window.
Assistant: There are three hats together in the window, madam. Do you want the one with the feathers?
Miss Brothers: No. The other one.
Assistant: The small one for three hundred and three Euros?
Miss Brothers: No, Not that one either. That one over there. The leather one.
Assistant: Ah! The leather one. Now this is another leather hat, madam. It’s better than the one in the window. It’s a smoother leather.
Miss Brothers: But I’d rather have the one in the window. It goes with my clothes.
Assistant: Certainly, madam. But we don’t take anything out of the window until three o’clock on Thursday.
