Eric: Hi.
Jill:
Hello. Sorry to bother you. My friend and I are new to the building. We’re in
apartment 3F.
Eric: Oh,
welcome to the building!
Jill: I
hate to ask, but do you have a broom?
Eric: A
broom? Oh, sure. Tom, where is our broom?
Tom: Hold
on.
Eric:
Please, please, come inside.
Jill:
Thanks. By the way, my name’s Jill.
Eric: I’m
Eric. And this is my friend and roommate, Tom.
Tom: Here
you go.
Jill:
Thanks. Oh, are you new to the building, too?
Tom: Um, no.
Why?
Jill: Oh,
never mind.
Maria:
Jill?
Jill: I’m
in here. Come and meet our neighbors. This is Tom and this is Eric. This is my
roommate, Maria.
Maria:
Hello. How’s it going?
Tom: Not
bad.
Eric:
Pretty good.
Tom: Excuse
me for a minute.
Jill: That
smells good. What’s for dinner?
Tom: I’m
not sure yet. But right now, it’s tomato sauce.
Eric: It’s
pasta and tomato sauce. He always makes pasta!
Tom: I do
not! Hey, I have an idea. Stay and have some with us.
Maria: Oh,
um, but we need to clean our apartment.
Tom: Come
back in about 30 minutes.
Jill: Are
you sure? That’s really nice of you.
Maria:
Yeah. Our refrigerator is empty.
Eric: I’ll
text you when it’s ready. Can I get your number?
Jill: Sure.
It’s 555-3992.

sorry. Can you repeat that?
Jill: 555-3992.

it.

Thanks, guys. We’ll see you soon.

you later.

hope you’re hungry!

Hm…What should I make?

I like pasta.
Eric? Will
you ask Jill to bring the broom?

Maria: I
don’t know what to get Jill for her birthday.
Tom: Hm…
how about a ticket to a baseball game?
Maria: Jill
doesn’t like baseball at all. Actually, she doesn’t like any sports.
Tom:
Really? I love sports! Well, what does she like?
Maria: She
likes music.
Tom: What kind?
Maria: She
loves hip-hop and heavy metal.
Tom: Heavy
metal?! Oh, I don’t like heavy metal.
Maria: Me
neither. I think it’s too loud.
Tom: Who’s
her favorite singer?
Maria:
Well, her favorite hip-hop artist is Kanye West.
Tom: Me
too! What about you?
Maria: I
don’t really like hip-hop.
Tom: Well,
do you like any bands in particular?
Maria: I
like Coldplay.
Tom: So do
I! I have all their CDs. Hey, what do you think of getting her a CD?
Maria: Jill
never buys CDs. She downloads all her music.
Tom: Why
don’t you get her tickets to a concert?
Maria:
That’s a good idea.
Tom: Let’s
look online.
Tom: Here’s
something. Susannah Mason. What do you think of her?
Maria: The
folk singer? I think she’s great, but Jill doesn’t like folk music.
Tom: How
about this? Hip Hop Madness. It’s tomorrow night. Tickets are $35.
Maria: It
doesn’t sound interesting to me.
Tom: It
sounds fun to me! It’s at 8:00. Doors open at half past seven.
Maria:
Let’s look for something else.
Maria: Hey,
what about this? Tickets to the new musical Dance City!
Tom: I
heard it was really good!
Maria: Jill
loves musicals!
Tom:
Perfect! Buy four tickets. It starts at 7:30, so we can meet at 7:00.
Maria: I’m
buying them now.
Eric: Hi
guys.
Tom: Hi,
Eric. How was math class?
Eric: It
was great. Math is my favorite subject.
Tom: Is
there any subject you don’t like?
Eric: No,
of course not. I love every subject.
Maria:
Done!
Eric: What
are you guys doing?
Maria: We
just bought a birthday present for Jill.
Eric: Me
too! Look guys! I got four tickets for the new musical Dance City! tomorrow
night.

Tom: What time does your birthday party start
tonight?
Jill: At
7:00. Maria is cleaning our apartment now.
Tom: No
work for you on your birthday, huh?
Jill:
That’s right! That’s a nice shirt!
Tom:
Thanks! You look nice. Is that jacket new?
Jill: Yes,
I got it for tonight. Is it OK?
Tom: It’s
cool. I like it a lot.
Jill: Eric
is here.
Eric: Hi
guys. Sorry I’m late. I wanted to get something new for your party tonight.
What do you think?
Jill: It’s
an interesting shirt.
Eric: So,
we’re going to get to meet your family.
Jill: Yes.
They’re arriving later this afternoon.
Eric:
That’s nice. But I’m always a little shy around new people.
Tom: Not
me! Tell us about them!
Jill: Well,
my father is quiet. And shy. Dad doesn’t say much at first.
Tom: And
your mother?
Jill: Mom
is easy going and creative, like me.
Tom: Do you
have any siblings?
Jill: Yes,
I have two brothers. As you can see, they love to play video games. Their names
are Brent and David.
Tom: What
is Brent wearing?
Jill: Brent
is wearing the blue T-shirt. And David is wearing the gray sweater.
Jill: Brent
will be there, but David doesn’t live around here. He lives in Chicago. You can
meet him another time.
Eric: How
old are they?
Jill: Brent
is 23 years old and David is 22. You’ll also meet my grandmother.
Eric:
What’s she like?
Jill:
Grandma is great. She’s 75 but she doesn’t act or dress her age. Her style is
very… different. But we love her!
Cena 04
Jill: What
are you doing, Eric?
Eric: Oh,
I’m just studying for my history exam.
Jill: Your
history exam? That doesn’t sound fun. You know, you look a little tired. Are
you OK?
Eric: Yeah,
I’m just really busy right now.
Jill: Do
you go to bed late?
Eric: I go
to bed around 11:30.
Jill: What
time do you wake up?
Eric: I usually
get up at 7:00. But I have a lot of homework and I’m working on Saturdays at
that new supermarket. I’m trying to save money.
Jill: You
need to go out and get some exercise. I exercise every day.
Eric: What
kind of exercise do you do?
Jill: Just
light exercise. Why don’t you come out with me next Sunday?
Eric: What
do you do on Sundays?
Jill: Well,
first I do some exercises at that really large park nearby. I get there at
7:30. I exercise for about fifteen minutes. Then I run on a trail for about an
hour. It’s beautiful in the morning.
Eric: I
know what you mean. I like that park too!
Jill: Next,
I eat a delicious breakfast.
Eric: I
really enjoy breakfast!
Jill: After
that, I go for a swim nearby.
Eric: In
the park?
Jill: No,
there’s a really great place to swim near the park.
Eric: That
sounds nice.
Jill: After
that I play volleyball. I play with the same team every Sunday. You can join
us.
Eric: How
long do you play?
Jill: About
forty-five minutes. Later I eat a big lunch.
Eric: I
love big lunches! How about I just meet you for lunch?
