PRACTICE / DIALOGUE

While driving a car

A : Look out. There’s a tree across the road.

B : Oh! We had it. I almost drove over it. Luckily there are people already working on it. Let me see.

A : Watch out. The electric wire has snapped. You’d better not go anywhere near it.

B : Don’t worry. I’m not going that far.

A : it’s drizzling. Be careful you don’t get wet. You might catch a cold.

B : Oh, it’s a light drizzle.

Between friends

A : Mind your purse. There are a lot of pickpockets in the city.

B : Oh, none can reach my pocket.

A : You’d better not carry large sums on you.

B : I know this city very well.

A : I should be careful, if I were you.

At the office

K : Mr. Prakash, who typed this letter?

P : I did it, sir.

K : There are many mistakes in this letter.

P : I’m sorry. I typed it in a hurry. I shall be more careful.

K : You ought to be. Mind your spelling more than anything else.
