DIALOGUE
Exercise 1
Dialogue 1
[ 5 ] Marco So, don't - just smile and think
about something else. Or better, start
talking about something else.
[ 3 ] Marco I get that a lot from my family
too. Just don't let it get to you.
[ 1 ] Marco What on earth's the matter with
you? You look really fed up!
[ 6 ] Sonia Yes, you're right. But it's not
always that easy to smile. I just need to
chill out a bit, I reckon.
[ 2 ] Sonia I've just been listening to my
uncle and aunt going on about how
terrible teenagers are these days.
[ 4 ]Sonia Well I try not to, but sometimes
it makes me so mad. And they're nice
people - I like them a lot, so I don't want
to argue with them.
Dialogue 2
[ 6 ] Stevie I suppose you're right. After all,
there are worse things in life than spam,
aren't there?
[ 4 ] Stevie I suppose not. But sometimes
I get so angry that I write back with
something rude.
[ 2 ]Stevie Me too. I hate those emails,
trying to sell me something or trying to
trick me. It drives me crazy.
[ 3 ] Esther I know. But I try not to get
angry - there's no point in getting worked
up, is there?
[ 1 ]Esther I seem to be getting more and
more spam in my inbox these days.
[ 5 ] Esther Oh that's the worst thing you
can do! Then they know that your email
address really exists. You need to calm
down and just hit the delete button.
Dialogue 3
[ 5 ]Jason Well, that's easier said than
done - we're in the same class, so how
can I avoid her?
[3 ]Jason It's not what she's done, it's
what she's said. Another nasty comment
about my sister. She's clearly trying her
best to annoy me - and it's working.
[ 1 ]Jason I'm never going to talk to Judy
again! I've had enough!
[ 6 ]Harry Sit as far away as possible and
look in other directions - that's what I'd
do, anyway.
[ 2 ]Harry Hey, take it easy, Jason. What's
she done?
[ 4] Harry Look, don't let her get under
your skin, OK?
