M: May I speak to Mary, please?

W: She’s not here right now. This is her sister speaking. Can I take a message?

M: Could you ask her to call Max Peterson at 465-878-4931…

W: Hold on one second, Mr. Peterson. Let me just get a pen.

W: I’m going to spend the next year studying in London. Someone told me that you once lived there.

M: Oh, but I was just a kid at that time.

Text 3

M: Lydia, I haven’t seen you for ages! How have you been doing?

W: Um, do I know you?

M: Oh, dear, I’m terribly sorry! You look like one of my old friends.

Text 4

M: Could I have three pounds of apples, please?

W: Sure. They are one dollar a pound.

M: OK, let me just get my wallet… here we are… Uh-oh. I’m so sorry about this, but could I have just two pounds instead of three?

W: No problem, sir.

M: As we all know, shopping plays a very important role in people’s lives, and it is many people’s favorite activity, especially for women.

W: I couldn’t agree with you more. In order to promote sales, both sellers and producers place a variety of shopping ads in newspapers, magazines, and on the radio and television.

M: Is everything ready for Billy’s birthday party?

W: Yes. I finished making the birthday cake and I put everything on the table. Did you find the party hats?

M: Yes, I did. I put one for each child on the table. I put up the big “Happy Birthday” sign, too.

W: Thanks, honey. Do you think we have enough for the kids to eat and drink?

M: I’m sure we do. Here’s enough food to feed an army.

W: That birthday cake looks beautiful, but you haven’t put any candles on it yet.

M: Thanks for reminding me. I’ve prepared some party games for the children, too.

W: Great. I bought a tape with a lot of children’s songs on it.

M: Hopefully, that will keep everyone happy.

M: What a nice garden! Look at these flowers!

W: That would be a good shot. Can you take my picture here, dear? Please try to get the garden in the frame as well.

M: All right. Would you please stand closer to the flowers? Good. Smile. Say cheese. OK, got it. That’s terrific.

W: Thanks. Could you take one more from this angle?

M: No problem… Got it.

W: Now let’s take one together.

M: Do you know how to set it to take a picture of the two of us?

W: Let me see... We just push this button… OK, come here!

M: OK, here I come!

W: Cheese!

M: Did it come out?

M: We still have one more day to go before we return home. What do you want to see tomorrow?

W: No idea. We’ve enjoyed both the natural scenery and the city sights. What else is there to see?

M: How about a factory tour?

W: You mean visit a factory?

M: Yes. I heard there’s a large car company nearby that is open to the public every weekend. We can go there to see how a car is made and learn more about the car industry.

W: Good idea! I’ve always been interested in that. How much is the entrance fee?

M: I’m not sure, but as far as I know, most factory tours are free. They are sponsored by the car company providing the tour.

W: Really? What do the companies do that for?

M: Excuse me. How much is this suit?

W: It’s on sale today for $750. It’s normally $900.

M: Wow, that is pretty expensive! I was thinking that it might be four or five hundred.

W: This material is imported from Italy. It’s the finest in the world, and if you bought a suit made of this material at many department stores, you would pay about two thousand dollars.

M: Uh-huh… but isn’t that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides, I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that was too expensive.

W: It’s possible that the suit you saw was the same color as this one but made of a different material. Unfortunately, our prices are final, and we think they’re the lowest anywhere in the city.

M: Could I try it on first?

W: Of course, sir. The dressing room is down there to your left.

M: Yes, I see it. Could I also take a tie to try on? I’m not actually looking to buy one, but I do want to see how the suit looks on me if I wear a tie.

W: No problem. I’ll have my assistant bring you a few ties that we give our customers for this exact purpose.

M: Great. I’ll be back in a minute… So, how do I look?

W: You look very handsome, sir. This suit is made for you!

M: Thank you. I like it very much. It fits perfectly, and the style will never go out of fashion. The only thing is that I still think it is a bit too expensive. Couldn’t you lower the price by just a little?

W: I’m not the owner of the shop, sir. Otherwise, I might be able to reduce the price.

Good evening to you, and a good evening it is! In fact, it’s absolutely beautiful outside. Of course, it’s all due to the winds of March! Yes, if you were outside around 2:00 p.m., you were probably blown right off your feet. We had wind this afternoon that was blowing at 50 mph! You could see large umbrellas from food carts rolling down the sidewalks — a few of them blew right into traffic and caused a few accidents. Fortunately, though, the wind died down to a more reasonable 15 mph by 4:30 p.m.

Now, the forecast for tonight is for the temperature to stay around 60 degrees Fahrenheit with a light breeze — just enough for a light sweater. It should be a clear night, great for all you astronomers and star gazers. Enjoy it while you can because the clouds will begin to roll in again tomorrow, and they will be staying for a while.

Yes, for the next three days, you can expect clouds, the daytime temperature to drop to around 50, and a 90 percent chance of light rain on and off throughout the day. The temperature at night will be about 36-40 degrees, so you should expect some frost in the early mornings. Well, that’s all. Go out there and enjoy a lovely, warm, star-filled evening tonight. Tomorrow, take your raincoat and umbrella as you head out the door!
