Now Your Turn

James: Well, you see, when you get up, you always take a long shower—one hour sometimes.

John:  That’s not true 1! I do have a shower every morning, but I don’t think I spent that long.

James: But when you use the bathroom, you always lock 2 the door.

John:  I’m sorry. I just like my privacy 3.

James: Well, the fact 4 is that others 5 need to use the toilet too. Do you think we should go downstairs 6 to the gas 7 station to use the public 8 toilets?

John:  I’m afraid you’re right. I promise 9 I’ll take a quick shower later 10, and keep the door open.
