Dialogue
I'm So Happy to See You
I. Tapescript
Jane Hello, Ann. I'm so happy to see you. Come in.
Ann Jane, you look very well.
Jane Thank you, Ann... you look very well, too. And the children... they're both so tall.
Ann Well, you haven't seen them for five years.
Jane Right. I last saw them at a party when they were just little boys. Now they've grown up.
Ann Oh, Jane, we've brought a friend with us. This is Bill Brown. He hasn't visited London before.
Jane Very pleased to meet you, Bill.
Bill How do you do, Mrs Davis?
Jane Please call me Jane. OK, everybody, how about a drink first?
Ann That'll be very nice.
II. Language and Culture Notes
1. People in the West enjoy parties very much. They like to invite their friends over for the weekend. Sometimes those who have been invited may bring their own friends along with them.
2. Please call me Jane. In addressing someone you have just met, it is always safer to use his or her family name plus the appropriate 8 title, e.g. 'Mr Williams', 'Miss Smith', etc. However, many people, especially the young, prefer to call each other by their first names even when they are meeting for the first time. This way of addressing helps to bring people together. For example, one may say, 'My name is Wilson — James Wilson. Call me James.'
3. When a guest comes, the host or hostess usually offers him/her something to drink first. Here 'drink' refers to fruit juice of all sorts, or beer sometimes. Wine or alcohol 9 is served at dinner time but not before.
