Carol: 4827086.
Cathy: Carol? It's Cathy speaking. How are you getting on?
Carol: I am well. And you?
Cathy: Not too bad. Can you help me, Carol?
Carol: Certainly. What's the problem?
Cathy: I need your advice. My younger brother has read all books for children
we have at home. Now I'm going to the library because I want to borrow some books
for him. He can't go there himself because he is ill.
Carol: What kind of books does he prefer? As far as I remember, he is in the 6th
form, isn't he?
Cathy: Yes, you are quite right. If I'm not mistaken, he enjoys reading adventure
novels and different detective stories.
Carol: It seems to me that a detective story isn't good reading for him. What do
you think about The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain? Has he read this
novel yet?
Cathy: I know for sure he hasn't. What a good idea! This novel is loved by
children and grownups all over the world. As for me, I've read this novel several
times.
