Mary: Hi, Chris! You asked me to phone you.

What are you doing now?

Chris: Hello, Mary. I've just finished reading two books. They are so different from each other.

Mary: Really? And you enjoyed both of them, didn't you?

Chris: Oh, no! Only one of them. The other one makes unhappy reading. But I won't tell you the story. You may want to read it. Better tell me what you are reading or have read.

Mary: Well, I usually prefer true-to-life stories, but this time I chose something different. I've just finished it.

Chris: An adventure story, eh?

Mary: Yes, and the author has a fine imagination.

He holds your interest right to the end of the book. But you haven't told me anything about the other book you've just finished.

The one you said you enjoyed.

Chris: Well, it is a book you could spend hours with. It's a very funny story. I laughed all the time while I was reading it. And, besides, the author has created very truthful characters.

Mary: Do you think it would interest me?

Chris: I think so. Come with me to the library tomorrow, if you like.

Mary: That's an idea. Besides, my dad asked me to bring a detective for him. By the way, have you

heard of Lilly? She has been ill for the last week, as far as I know.

Chris: Yes, she has. She phoned me yesterday and told us to find some information about Alan Milne. She needs it for the article.

That's why I asked you to phone me. We should go to the library tomorrow.

Mary: Fine! Let's do it right after the lessons. Then we can visit Lilly together.

1. Chris asked Mary…
2. Chris enjoyed...
3. Chris told Mary…
4. Chris hopes Mary…
5. Chris asks Mary…
6. Chris hasn’t heard…
7. The girls are going…

4. Make up a dialogue, using new vocabulary.

•          Last week I finished such an interesting book.
•          Was it really so exciting? What is it about?
•          It’s a thriller with lots of mysterious things — exactly what I prefer
•          Oh, no. I’m not interested in mysteries. As for me, I prefer true-to-life stories with truthful characters.
•          You’re so boring. Try something different. Not often you can find a good book which will hold your interest right to the end.
•          Well, I’ll try.
•          Then let’s drop in on my place on our way home right after school and I’ll give you this book.
•          OK.
