Conversation
Cheska: Hi, Claire. Come on in...
Claire: Hi, Cheska! How're you doing?
Cheska: Pretty good.
Claire: Cheska, this is my friend Ian. He’s from Egypt.
Cheska: Hi, Ian. Nice to meet you.
Ian: Nice to meet you too.
Claire: So, Cheska, we're going to make some research. Do you want to join us?
Cheska: Gee, I don't know... I mostly do online searching these days.
Ian: Why?
Cheska: Because it saves time.
Ian: Yeah and I guess it saves energy, too.
Claire: What do you mean?
Ian: Well, you don't have to go to any library. . .
Cheska: Right. And you don't have to spend more time looking for book, either.
Claire: Yeah, but you can't see the books. And you can't touch them! I like
old-fashioned searching!
Ian: But, it's such a nice day . . . Are you sure you want to sit in front of a computer
screen?
Cheska: Yeah, I see what you mean . . . but with all this online searching,
I seldom go out.
Claire: But you can come with us. Oh, no… Cheska, please.
Cheska: Give a reason.
Claire: We could discuss to each other to choose a good topic for our group.
Cheska: That sounds great. Ok, let’s go.
