b: Dad: Hello, Pete Richmond speaking. Cathy: Hello, Dad. It’s me, Cathy. I was just ringing to see if you got my letter.

Dad: Hi, Cathy. Yes, I got it last week. Thanks for writing.

Cathy: And …?

Dad: And what?

Cathy: And what do you think? Did you find it interesting?

Dad: Well, to be honest with you, I just skimmed through it. I didn’t have enough time to sit and read it properly.

Cathy: Oh, Dad! That’s exactly why I wrote to you. You need to start making time for yourself. You work too hard. You need to take some time off.

Dad: Now, don’t tell me what to do, young lady. I’m not going to listen to an eighteen-year-old who wanted to leave school three years ago.

Cathy: That’s right, Dad. But you told me to think carefully and you also told me it was your duty to tell me what you thought. Now I’m doing the same thing for you. I love you. I can’t stop you working and I don’t want to. But I do want you to start making some time for yourself.

Dad: OK, OK. I get the message. As soon as I hang up I’ll sit down and read your letter properly. Now what was the party like?
