Listen to the Entire Lesson
Study some examples and then we will be at the practice session.
Person A:
"
Why didn't you come to my party last night?
"
Person B:
"
I'm sorry I couldn't make it. I had to go visit my grandmother at the hospital.
"
Person A:
"
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Is she doing ok?
"
Person B:
"
They just completed a small operation and the doctors said she should recover.
"
Person A:
"
Did you get a chance to go to that new restaurant down the street?
"
Person B:
"
Yeah. I ordered the special, but the server screwed up my order.
"
Person A:
"
That sucks. So what ended up happening?
"
Person B:
"
They finally got my steak out, but it was overcooked. It was a terrible experience.
"
Person A:
"
What did you do last weekend?
"
Person B:
"
I went on a date with Sammy.
"
Person A:
"
Really? How was it?
"
Person B:
"
I couldn't ask for a better night. We talked all throughout our two hour dinner, and then we sat by the river and cuddled in the night.
"
Person A:
"
Didn't you finish finals week?
"
Person B:
"
Don't remind me. I think I failed most of the exams.
"
Person A:
"
Why did you do so terrible?
"
Person B:
"
My mind just went blank. I think I overloaded my brain. I just couldn't concentrate during the exams.
