Dialogue 6 :


Linda: Oh, I liked the movie very much! Did you like it too?

Brian: I tried to understand it, but I could not!

Linda: Yes, they used many slang words. The actors were really good though!

Brian: By the way, I saw your sister, yesterday, after the match.

Linda: Yes, she was at the match too. She liked it a lot.

Brian: But afterwards, it started raining! What did you do then?

Linda: I hurried home. What did you do afterwards?

Brian: Hahaha We played darts! Your sister´s boyfriend is very nice!

Linda: I preferred my sister´s last boyfriend. He was also an actor.

Brian: The actors´ achievements were really great, but the leading actor’s accent
was terrible! Hahaha

Linda: You are right. I particularly liked the end of the film, but the seats at the
cinema were, however, somewhat uncomfortable.

Brian: That’s why I already look forward to my own couch. Hahahaha!

Linda: Yes, it is certainly more comfortable. I already look forward to seeing your
place!

Brian: I’ll pick you up tomorrow from your office!

Linda: Great! See you tomorrow! Oh, it is raining again.
