Dialogue
Mr Smith is discussing the
football with his wife.
Sport - Conversation
Mr.
Smith:
I`ve been thinking about
exchanging our football
tickets. Instead of going
to Friday's game, I think
we should go on
Saturday. Then, John
and his friend Mark could
come with us because
they wouldn`t have
school the next day.
What do you think?
Mrs
Smith
:
I think that`s a great
idea. I didn`t really like
the idea of keeping John
out of school just to got
to a football match.
Mr
Smith:
I know. So, shall we
swap them?
Mrs
Smith:
Well, first, let me check
with Mark`s parents to
see if he`s free on
Saturday.

would you like to come to
the match with us?
Mark:
Yes, I'm free and I'd love
to, but I'll have to check
with my parents.
(Pause)
Yes, they say it`s fine. I
can go. Could you give
me a lift though?
Mrs

That`s great! John will be
glad, and of course we
can pick you up. How
does 2pm sound?

Sounds great. I`ll look
forward to it.

OK, we`ll see you on
