2 AT THE AIRPORT 3 WHAT’S YOU PROFESSION?
Edward is an American who lives in New York. He has a Brazilian friend, Carlos, who is going to spend some days in his home. They’ve been friends for a long time and Edward is glad Carlos is coming.
Chris : Hi, Edward, how are you?
Edward: Fine, thank you, and you?
Chris : Just fine. You look happy today. What happened?
Edward: A friend of mine is coming from Brazil to visit me.
Chris : Really? What does he look like?
Edward: He is medium height and strong. He has broad shoulders and curly hair.
Chris : Does he speak English?
Edward: Yes, he does. He can ask and answer questions with almost no difficulties, but he finds it difficult to maintain a conversation.
Chris : How long has he been studying English?
Edward: He’s been studying for almost a year, but he doesn’t practice it very often. He thinks he needs more vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. How about you, Chris? How are you doing with your Spanish lessons?
Chris : I’m not doing very well because I’ve missed some classes, and you know, good results depend on how much you study.
Edward: Chris, would you like to meet my friend Carlos?
Chris : Of course, I would! I wouldn’t miss the chance to know your foreign friend.
Edward: Fine. So, let’s meet tomorrow at the airport at nine o’clock.
Chris : Okay. Bye-bye now.
