Conversation 1
Tom: Hi, Kevin, this is Tom. Can you talk right now?
Kevin: Sure, Tom. How can I help you?
Tom: Well, I had an accident, and now my bike is a bit of a mess. Can you come over
and help me repair it?
Kevin: I'm sorry, I can't. I'm going on a trip with my parents and will be gone all
weekend. But I can borrow you my tools.
Tom: Oh, that would be great! I'll come over and get them.
Kevin: I'll leave them by the gate.
Tom: Thanks so much! And have a nice trip!

Ron: Speaking.
Sara: Oh, hi, Ron. This is Sara. How are things?
Ron: Great! And you?
Sara: Great! Listen, I need to prepare a presentation for tomorrow. I have to do a lot of
research on the Internet. Can I borrow your laptop?
Ron: I wish! It fell out of my bag last weekend and is still being repaired.
Sara: Oh, that's too bad.

you want.

Katie: OK, I guess. You?
Becky: Good. Say, I need to go to the shops tomorrow. Can you go with me?
Katie: Well, that sounds like a nice idea, but…
Becky: I was really hoping you could show me that cool new clothing store.
Katie: The thing is, I can't.
Becky: Oh?
Katie: Yeah, I spent too much money last time, and now Mum won't let me go out.
Becky: Oh, that's terrible!
Katie: Sorry. Maybe next time?
Becky: Maybe next time.
