Lesson 12 Section 1 A Dialogues Dialogue 1：

Do you think you could stop whistling? I'm trying to write an essay.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were in the other room. Dialogue 2：

Is it alright if I leave my rucksack on the back seat? Yes, of course. Go ahead.

And would you mind if I took off my shoes? My feet are killing me.

Well, I'd rather you didn't. It's a rather hot day. Dialogue 3：

Hello, Charles, I haven't seen you all day. What have you been doing?

Actually I've been working on my first novel. Oh, yes. How far have you got with it?

Well, I thought of a good title, and I made a list of characters, and I've designed the front cover. Have you started writing it yet?

Oh, yes. I've written two pages already. Only two?

Well, yes. I haven't quite decided yet what happens next. Dialogue 4：

I saw an accident yesterday. What were you doing at the time? I was queuing for the cinema.

And what did you do when you saw the accident? I rushed forward to see if I could help. Dialogue 5：

Hmm. You are a good squash player. How long have you been playing?

I have been playing since the beginning of the last term. What about you?

Me? Oh, I've been playing about two years now. But I'm still not very good. Dialogue 6：

I've got a watch with a silver strap.

That's nothing. I've got one with a gold strap. I've got a watch that tells you the date.

That's nothing. I've got one that tells you the date and the day.

Something wrong? I should think there is something wrong. My wife and I have been kept here waiting nearlyan hour for our meal!

I'm terribly sorry about that, sir. Our staff has been kept unusually busy this evening. I'll see to it personally myself. Now, if you wouldn't mind just telling me what you ordered. Dialogue 3：
