# 4 [d] A Damaged Telephone.

A: Dunsten 238282.

B: Hello, Daisy. This is Donald.

A: Oh! Hello, darling!

B: What did you do yesterday, Daisy. You forgot our date, didn’t you?

A: Well, it rained all day, Donald, and I had a bad cold. So, I decided to stay at home.

B: Did you? I telephoned 20 times and nobody answered.

A: Oh, the telephone was damaged. They repaired it today.

B: What did David do yesterday? Did he and Dotty go dancing?

A: No! They stayed at home and played cards with the children.

B: And what did you do? Did you play cards too?

A: No! Cindy and I listened to the radio and studied. What did you do yesterday, Donald?

B: I’ve just told you, Daisy. I tried to phone you 20 times.

# 5 [k] The Coo-coo Clock.

A: Would you like some cream in your coffee, Mrs. Clark?

B: No, thank you, but I’d like a little milk.

A: Would you like some chocolate cakes?

B: Oh, thank you.

A: Take two. Here’s a cake fork and here’s…

B: Excuse me, Mrs. Cook, but what’s that next to your bookshelf? Is it a clock?

A: Yes. It’s an American coo-coo clock.

B: Is it plastic?

A: Oh, no, Mrs. Clark. It’s a very expensive clock. It’s an electric clock. Well, it’s exactly 6 o’clock now, and it’s very quiet.

B: Doesn’t it say “coo-coo”?

A: Of course, Mrs. Clark. Look!

B: Oh, how exciting! What a clever clock!

# 6 [g] Guests in August.

A: I’ve just got a telegram from Margaret and Greg.

B: Are they coming to England again?

A: Yes. At the beginning of August.

B: Good. We can all get together again.

A: Ah, I’m glad they are coming in August. We can take the dog and go for walks together.

B: Yes. And we can give a garden party.

A: Mm… And Margaret can play her guitar in the garden and sing Greek songs again.

B: Yes. August is a good time to come to England.
