What is the weather like now?

Look at the weather outside. This always happens when we plan a trip.<br />Let's go anyway. The mountains are lovely in the snow. In fact, it's better than seeing them in the sun.<br />But the mountain rivers could flood if it turns to rain.

How does the man feel?

Yes, we scored. That means our team is through to the final.<br />It's sad for the other team though. They played so hard. I bet they're really tired.<br />Never mind about that. Football is all about winning.

What does the woman request the man to do?

I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to bring drinks into the library.<br />But I just bought this coffee.<br />It was quite expensive.<br />Well, I suggest you drink it outside and then come back.<br />We can't risk having our valuable books damaged by drinks.

What does the woman say about the delivery?

Parcel for Miss Simmons? Could you sign here, please? Also, I'll take a quick photo with my phone.<br />Wow, I only ordered this yesterday. I thought I had to pay extra for one-day delivery.<br />I don't know about that, Miss. All I do is deliver the parcels.

What does the woman want?

Is this the right way to the theater?<br />I parked my car down the road.<br />Am I walking in the wrong direction?<br />No, just take the next right and you'll see it.<br />Are you going to see the Rolling Stones?<br />Yes, I'm really looking forward to the concert.
