Here is a conversation between Mrs Smith (Joan) and husband Steve.
It’s Saturday
and Joan and Steve are decorating.
|
|
Joan
|
Steve, you missed a
bit.
|
Steve
|
Where?
|
Joan
|
Here, on the wall
just by the window, you can see a patch of white.
|
Steve
|
Oh yes, I see it.
It’s difficult in this light.
|
Joan
|
I know, well at
least we have finished this room, only five more to go.
|
Steve
|
Are you sure you
want to put wallpaper up in the lounge?
|
Joan
|
Yes, but don’t
worry, I’m really good at wallpapering. I just wish that John would decide on
what he wants his room doing in.
|
Steve
|
I know, it’s
difficult when you’re a boy. At least he’s grown out of Star Wars, I keep
thinking he’ll ask for red and black or something equally gruesome.
|
Joan
|
Yes, but it is his
room. I’m glad we decided not to move though. Maybe we should think about
building an extension to the kitchen instead.
|
Steve
|
One thing at a time
please! Lets get this decorating over and done with first.
|
Joan
|
Ha! Oh by the way
you missed a bit by the door too!
|
Steve
|
Hmmm, thanks. Here’s
a brush
