8. DIALOGUES
Conversation 1
Mary: How’s the weather today?
John: It’s all right. Not too warm, not too cold.
Mary: Do you think I need a sweater?
John: No, not if you’re not going out for long.
Mary: Are you sure? I’m pretty cold-blooded.
John: Well, in that case, you might bring a sweater along.
Conversation 2
John: I’m going to lunch. Is it raining yet?
Mary: Not yet, but the clouds look ominous.
John: Do you recommend an umbrella?
Mary: Sure. Or at least a good hat and coat.
John: It was raining this morning. Then it stopped and the sun came out, but the clouds were moving fast.
Mary: I know. I noticed that too when I was driving to work.
John: Did you bring a raincoat?
Mary: No, I don’t like raincoats. I prefer a good umbrella—unless it’s too windy.

Mary: I’m so glad to be going home. It’s such a sunny day!
John: I know. It’s beautiful outside. Do you have any plans?
Mary: I might sit on my deck and enjoy it for a while with my kids.
John: I know what you mean. I plan to soak in the sun in my own backyard.
Mary: My husband and I sometimes go hiking too along with our kids.
John: That’s not for me. I like a good chair and a book instead.
Mary: Well, enjoy the beautiful weekend!
John: You too!
