finished.   2  
—   3    But it was easy. You see, I got a job.
— A job? What did you do?
—  4  
— But you're not a teacher.

— Hi, Mike. Are you going to the barbecue tonight?
—    1   . 
— Why maybe? Are you sure?

good conversation.
—    4  .
— I think small groups are the best way to meet people. I meet the most interesting people in the class. I
see how they think and talk every day. If I like someone, then we might get together later on. 
—     5   I met my best friend in sports club. We came to know we have a lot in common. If you ask me,
big parties are the best way to meet people.
— Well, I think I should try my chances at the barbecue. See you tonight, Mary.
A. But that's the idea
B. No problem.
C. What seems to be your problem?
D. Maybe

Fred: What time is it now?

    It's much too big to be seen in an hour or so.
