PRACTICE / DIALOGUE

At the office

X : The All-India Conference begins in Delhi on Monday next. We have to send someone as our representative.

Z : Let’s ask Sunil to attend it.

X : Ah, no. Sunil is away in Bangalore and won’t be back before next Wednesday.

Y : How about D’souza?

X : Well, he’d have been the right person. But you know it’s unreasonable to ask him to go to Delhi when his father is in critical condition.

Y : Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that.

O : Why not Mrs. Sindhu?

X : Yes, she can, if she is willing to.

Z : What about George? He seems to be relatively free these days.

X : All right. Let’s ask both George and Sindhu.

At home

A : Usha wants to go to here aunt in Chennai-Tamil Nadu in during holidays. Why don’t we let her go?

B : But how does she go? She can’t make it all alone, can she?

A : You know Mrs.Shakeela and family are going to Kodambakkam. How about sending Usha with them?

B : She already has five children to manage. It’ll be cruel to ask her to take care of one more.

A : Could we let her go alone? After all it’s only an overnight journey.

B : No, I can’t agree with that.

C : I’ll tell you what. Let me fly to Chennai. Kamal come to the airport and take me home.

A : That’s a good idea.

B : The idea is good. Do we have enough money?

A : Oh come on. Let’s make use of the bonus you got a week ago.

B : Well, if you all agree.
