Sample Dialogue

A.Have you got the invitation card from Kate?

B.Yes, I have. I think you referring to the invitation from Kate for her birthday.Im thinking about the present now.

A. Ha-ha, that is just what is in my mind.

B. What do you suggest?

A. What about a lady-bag? Kate is crazy about shopping. So maybe it is useful for her to take some small items. In addition, Kate has the hobby of collecting bags. What is your view?

B.I should say it is a good idea. But I don’t think it is very easy to choose a suitable one in a short time, since the party is to be held tomorrow evening. What do you think of a doll as a birthday present? Every girl likes such small things.

A. I have no objection to the suggestion, but don’t you think it is a little childish? I prefer something practical, a tape-recorder for instance. You know Kate is in a crash class, learning French.

B.Yes, thats right. I’m in the same French class with Kate. It needs listening for a long time. But actually tape recorders are free for us, and the charge for it is included in the fee.

A. I remember Kate likes jewelry very much, so a ring may be a good idea.

B. Are you kidding? Usually a ring is from a boy to his girlfriend. Kate spares her spare time playing games, so…

A. You mean we are going to buy a game-player? Don’t pull my legs. Don’t you know how much time Kate has wasted in games? I would rather take a bicycle to her for exercises.

B. You are a genius. I like the idea. …but wait for a minute. I remember peter once talked to me that he would buy one for Kate.

A. My god, I have never thought it is such a hard problem to choose a birthday gift. What do you say?

B. Come on. Don’t worry. Let’s think about it. Er, have you noticed that a new fiction novel by Smith Denver is being issued in book stores?

A. Yes, what a fantastic idea. It is the best seller of this year. Kate is a fan of Smith Denver.

B. So it is settled. Let’s call the book store at once to order the book.
