Listening to Club Music 

Anastasia: This is the best club in the city. Grace¹ brought me here last month. You’re going to love it. 

Joshua: What?! 

Anastasia: You’re going to love this club. It has the best DJ in town. She spins the best mixes. 

Joshua: Did you say you’re going to get us some mixed drinks? 

Anastasia: No, I said that this DJ is great. She plays music that gets people pumped up. Oh, I love this song. It samples from two of my favorite songs and it’s my favorite track on this CD. 

Joshua: Did you say that you want to buy this CD? 

Anastasia: No, I said I like this song. It’s got a pounding beat and I can really feel the music. I love dancing to it. Do you want to get out onto the dance floor? 

Joshua: Let’s wait until she segues into something mellower². I don’t really like dancing to this kind of club music. 

Anastasia: What?! You love club music? That’s great. Let’s go dance! 

Joshua: I think I’ll sit this one out. Don’t you think that the volume is a little loud in here? 

Anastasia: What?! You want the music to be louder? I’ll go ask the DJ to turn it up. 

Joshua: No!
