Dialogue1
Jessica : You wouldn't believe what I got in the mail today!
Riley: What's that?
J: It's a letter from Ray and Sue in Shanghai!
R: Have you read it yet?
J: No, I thought I'd wait until you got home.
R: Go on, read it out loud.
J: OK. It says, "Dear Jessica. It was so good to receive your letter.
It sounds like you and Riley are settling into your new home
with ease ... "
R: When did you send her a letter?
J: Just a few weeks ago. Sue and I send letters to each other often.
R: I didn't know anyone did that any more. Ok, go on.
J: Ok... I'm going to have to skip over this section. It's girl-talk.
R: That's fine with me.
J: Oh. It's actually all rather personal.
R: Well, skip over all of that and read me the rest.
J: Ok, it just says, blah, blah, blah. .. "
Ray and I look forward to seeing you in June.
Write soon. With love, Sue. "
R: Are we going to see them in June or are they coming to see us?
J: Didn't I tell you?
We're going to Shanghai to stay with them in June.
R: Oh, I guess I missed that.
J: Men!
Dialogue2
R: Who are you writing a letter to?
J: I'm just responding to Sue's letter. Do you want to help?
R: Ok. I guess I could add something. Tell them that I send my love.
J: That's kind of boring. Don't you want to tell them anything else?
R: Well, maybe you could tell them about my promotion.
J: You've been promoted? When did that happen?
R: Just today. I guess I forgot to mention it.
J: Congratulations! That's really exciting!
Let's get out a bottle of wine to celebrate!
R: Shouldn't we finish writing this letter first?
J: Ah. That can wait.
Your promotion is the best news I've heard in a long time!
R: It is good news, but it looked like you were almost finished.
We might as well just sign off.
J: Ok, you're right. I'll just tell them how proud I am of you
for getting a promotion ... and then I'll thank Sue for her kind letter.
R: I guess you can write that I'm looking forward
to seeing them in June.
J: That's thoughtful of you.
R: And also thank them from the bottom of my heart
for the Christtnas package they sent us.
J: That's right! I almost forgot about that.
R: What would you do without me?
J: We do balance each other out well.
I guess we were really made for each other!
