V. Invent five shot dialogues with various expressions of

apology and replies to them.

Example: Miss Shaw: Sorry I’m late.

Mr. Riley: It doesn’t matter.

3. Requests, thanks

Dialogue A (relatively informal)

(Mrs. Wade comes out of the backdoor of her house, crosses the lawn, leans over

the hedge and calls to her next-door neighbour’s teenage daughter, who is lying in a

deck chair.)

Mrs. Wade: Joan, could you do me a favour? I want to go to the launderette, and

my husband isn’t back yet. Do you think you could look after Angela while I’m

away? I shan’t be long.

Joan: Of course. I’ll come round straight away.

Mrs. Wade: Thanks a lot.

Joan: Would you mind if I had the TV on? I want to watch the hockey

international.

Mrs. Wade: No, of course not. Make yourself at home.

Joan: If you meet my mother when you are going to the bus, would you tell where

I am?

Mrs. Wade: Yes, of course. Well, I’d better be off now. It’s very nice of you to

help out.

Joan: Oh, that’s all right.

Dialogue B (formal)

(Two people who do not know each other are sitting at the same table in a

restaurant having a meal.)

Man: Could I trouble you for the mustard, please?
