Adam: Have you seen the new girl in school?

Frank: No. Who is she?

Adam: I forgot her name.

Frank: Is she from around here?

Adam: No. She was born on some small island near India somewhere but then she travelled a lot.

Frank: But she speaks English.

Adam: Yes, perfectly. And, more important, she is beautiful!

Frank: How old is she?

Adam: She’s fourteen, I think. She has lovely eyes.

Frank: How do you know so much about her?

Adam: Well, I saw her and I really wanted to get to know her. So when someone asked her about herself, I listened. She had to come to America because her father got a job here.

Frank: I should meet her. What’s her name?

Adam: Her name’s Sahru. Will you do me a favour?

Frank: Sure. What is it? You don’t want me to ask her if she’ll go out on a date with you, do you?

Adam: Well… yes.

Frank: No way. But maybe I should ask her myself!

Training 1

Adam: “Wow! There is a new girl at school! She is fourteen. She speaks English perfectly. And, what is more important, she is beautiful! She has lovely eyes. I saw her and I really wanted to get to know her. So when someone asked her about herself, I listened. That’s why I know so much about her. Now I want to talk to her. I want her to go on a date with me. But unfortunately, I’ve told Frank everything about Sahru and asked him to do me a favour. You know, I am a bit shy and I thought he could help me and ask Sahru to go out on a date with me. But Frank said he wouldn’t do that. I am sure he wants to go out with her himself, and he is so cute! So he’s got more chances, really.”

Training 2

Frank: “Adam has just told me there is a new girl at school. You see, I was sick last week so I stayed at home and couldn’t know about the new girl. So Adam is telling me the school news. Adam says the girl’s name is Sahru. He says she comes from some small island near India. I have no idea where it can be, though. However, she speaks English perfectly, so it doesn’t really matter. Actually, I haven’t seen her myself yet. Adam says she is beautiful and she has lovely eyes. He is so enthusiastic about the girl that I think it can be true! Adam is a strange guy, though. He wants me to ask her to go out on a date with him. I know he is my friend but I won’t do that. I can’t even imagine how I could do that and not look stupid in her eyes altogether. Besides friends or not, but if she is really beautiful, I will ask her to go out on a date with me!”
