Todd: So, Ruthie, what did you do today?


Ruth: Well, I got up quite early this morning, actually, to go shopping.


Todd: Oh, yeah! (Yeah) Ooh, shopping.


Ruth: I really like shopping.


Todd: That's true but you're on a budget. You're trying to save money.


Ruth: I know, but is was my brother's birthday. Well, it is my brother's birthday in a week so.


Todd: Oh, no kidding.


Ruth: Yeah.


Todd: So, what did you get your brother for his birthday?


Ruth: Well, it was quite difficult to find something that I thought he would like, but I got him some cakes in the end, some Japanese cakes.


Todd: Japanese cakes?


Ruth: Yeah, they're in like a special presentation 1 box.


Todd: So, how are you going to get the cakes to your brother? Just through the post office?


Ruth: Yes, I sent them in the post this morning.


Todd: Oh, did you send them express or just regular mail?


Ruth: No, regular mail because it was cheaper.


Todd: But, don't you want it to hurry and get there for his birthday?


Ruth: I've got one week. I think it will get there in time.


Todd: So, what do you think you're brother will think of the cakes?


Ruth: I don't think he'll like them actually.


Todd: No?


Ruth: Well, he likes chocolate cake, and they look like they've got kind of chocolate inside but it's bean paste 2. I think he'll be disappointed 3.


Todd: So what did you brother get you for your last birthday?


Ruth: That's a good question. He always gives me money, and he often gives me chocolate as well. He's very generous 4.


Todd: Actually, I'm the same way. Guys like to give money. Money is so easy. No shopping involved.


Ruth: It's practical 5, though, it's good.


Todd: Now, I've been told that when you give money for a gift, it's actually very impolite 6.


Ruth: Really?


Todd: Is that true? Yeah!


Ruth: Why is that?


Todd: I don't know. Some people say it's just really impersonal 7. That you should take the time to get a gift.


Ruth: Really! I really think if anybody gave me money I would be so pleased. It's a good present.


Todd: Exactly, that's what I think. (Pause) Hey, um, actually, when are you going to see your brother next?


Ruth: Probably, I will see him in August of September.


Todd: Oh, that's quite a ways away.


Ruth: Yes, about four months is that.


Todd: So is this a younger brother or older brother?


Ruth: He's older. He's twenty-six.


Todd: Oh, he's twenty six.


Ruth: He's going to be twenty-six soon.


Todd: Ok, well, if you happen to e-mail him, tell him happy birthday.


Ruth: Oh, certainly will do. Thanks.
