Unit 3. Part 6. Approvals and objections.

Dialogue 1.

W: So how was your weekend?

M: This was my weekend.

W: Oh, that’s too bad. You said you were going bowling with your wife, didn’t you?

M: Yes, I did. But I had to cancel that. Works come before play, you know.

W: You got that right.

Dialogue 2.

W: I think we should not allow smoking in our office, because it’s too harmful to us.

M: I see your point. Our problem is most of us are smokers and need to smoke when working.

W: I don’t think so. We can help them to quit smoking by forbidding it in the office.

M: I don’t agree. We would get too much complaint if such a rule is set.

W: You are just protecting the smokers because you yourself are one of them. What about those non-smokers like me?

M: I am really not sure about this. Maybe we should discuss it openly with all the people in our office.

Dialogue 3.

W: Ohoh, there is a scratch on it. Did you notice that?

M: Yes, I did. That’s why it is so cheap.

W: But this scratch is pretty bad.

M: That may be true. But a nice table cloth will cover right up.

W: Exactly, then nobody will ever know.
