Warm Up

Dialogue 1

B: ⑶Don’t worry. Everyone knows ⑷you’re getting your feet wet. I’ll show you how. I bet you’ll be proficient 1 at this in five minutes.
A: This is only your second time skiing. ⑸This is definitely a case of the blind leading the blind.
B: Relax. *I can hold my own. Now, point your skis toward the bottom of the hill. ⑹Easy does it!
A: I don’t think ⑺I can get up enough nerve to do this.
B: Here. I’ll just give you a little push…
A: ⑻No!!!!!!
(Later at the bottom of the hill…)
B: There. *Now, wasn’t that fun? As soon as you get a second burst of energy, we’ll try it again.
A: ⑼Don’t hold your breath!
Dialogue 2

B: Sure Paula, ⑴shoot!
A: Well, it is about Ms. Connors, ⑵the landlord of our rented house.
B: Yeah, What happened?
A: The dishwasher ⑶broke down. I had the repair done and deducted 2 the cost from the rent check.
B: And ⑷so…
A: She is threatening to evict 3 us for not paying the full rent.
B: ⑸Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I’m sure you can work this out.
A: Well, you are over at the law school. So ⑹I wondered if you would mind coming with me when we talk to Ms. Connors. We’re supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.
B: Sure, I’d be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don’t I stop by at about 7:30?
A: *Thanks a million, you are a lifesaver.

Joe: You’re right. I wasn’t. I hear nothing.
Kevin: ⑶Nothing?
Joe: Not a sound on the city streets, just ⑷the beat of my own heart, I think ⑸that’s how it goes, something like that.
Kevin: ⑹You and Patricia got engaged, didn’t you? You can tell me.
Joe: Engaged?
Kevin: Come on.
Joe: *Are you crazy?
Kevin: What? I thought you liked Patricia.
