Beginner
A: hello! How are you today?
B: hi. I’m feeling very nervous. I just had a test and I’m not sure how well or how badly I did.
A: it’s not use worrying about it now. you’ve done test and you can’t change any of your answers.
B: that’s true. I really should go home and prepare for the next test, but I’m feeling tired.
A: let’s go and get a coffee together. That will help you to wake up again!
B: ok. I feel like sitting down and having a chat. How have you been recently?
A; oh, you know me. I’m always happy! If I think I’m getting into a bad mood, I call some friends and socialize or have a chat.
B: that’s a good idea. I usually just sit at home alone and get increasingly moody.
A: I hate spending too much time at home. I get bored of it really quickly. I’m always excited about going out to party or other social event and meeting people.
B: perhaps I’m being too shy. I should go out more too and not spend time worrying about tests!

Intermediate
A: hello! What are you reading about in the newspaper?
B: hello! I was exhausted form studying, so I decided⁶ to read the newspaper to relax. Unfortunately, the news is so depressing. There has been another murder in the city center. I’m shocked that the police haven’t caught the killer⁷ yet.
A: people are starting to get frightened by it. Everyone will be relieved when they finally catch the murder.
B: you mean “if” they catch the murderer. I’m scared stiff about going into the city center at night.
A; there must have been some good news in the newspaper. I can’t believe that none of the news stories make you happy or excited.
B: well, there was one good piece of news. You remember the local girl who was dying of a rare blood disease?
A: yes. Her parents were raising money to have her treated in the united states.
B; well, they’ve got the money and she’s going tomorrow for treatment.
A: I’m so happy for the family! They must be very relieved and excited about that.
B; I’m sure they are. Oh, and a local man won the lottery⁸. I’m so jealous! I wish it were me! I buy a lottery ticket every week and I’m amazed that I haven’t even won a small prize yet. It’s so unfair!
