Dialogue

Linda: Oh, that was great! 
 
Brian: Linda, you are also here? Our performance was not bad, but our bassist,
unfortunately, was sick. 
 
Linda: Your sound is very mad! My sister and I were very much impressed! 
 
Brian: You are so nice! So is your dress... 
 
Linda: Oh, thanks. My sister gave it to me. 
 
Brian: Your sister has very good taste. Your taste in music is also very good!
Hahaha... Are you friends with the Fischers?
 
Linda: Yes, the Fishers are good friends of mine. My sister and Britney Fisher are
team mates. And the Fishers are our neighbours. 
 
Brian: Super! Pete Fisher is my friend. I also know his parents. My father and his
parents play Bridge together. Our families know each other very well. 
 
Linda: Do your parents live in London? 
 
Brian: My father does. My parents are actually divorced; my Mum lives with my
brother in Germany, and our father lives with his wife here in London. Their house is
beautiful. He is a lawyer and his wife works as a teacher.

brother goes to school, but he is at home today. My brother is an actor too. Do you
know an actor by the name of Paul Marifa?
