Everyday Conversations: Practical English Dialogues for Daily Life

A beautiful sunset. Look at the sky right now. It is absolutely amazing tonight. Yes, the

colors are so beautiful this evening. I really love this time of the day the most. Me, too. The sunset is always so

special and peaceful. The sky is full of orange and pink. And there is a little bit of purple, too. I have never seen

colors like these before. This is one of the best sunsets I can remember. Should we sit down on the bench over

there? Yes, that is a really great idea. We can watch the whole sunset from there comfortably. The bench has a perfect

view of the sky. How long does a sunset usually last in summer? Usually about 20 or 30 minutes in total.

That is not very long at all. No, that is exactly why it feels so special. Do you watch the sunset often in the

evenings? Yes, almost every evening during the summer months. That is really a very nice habit to have. It helps me

relax after a long day at work. I should really start doing the same thing. You can come here with me anytime you want.

Thank you. That is very kind of you. Look, the sun is touching the sea right now. Wow,

the light on the water looks incredible. Yes, the water looks like shining gold. I really want to take a quick picture.

Good idea. Use your phone before the light changes. My camera is ready to go. The light is changing very fast now.

I think I got a really beautiful photo. Show me, please. I want to see it. Here. Look at this one I just took.

That is a really lovely picture of the sky. I will send it to your phone later

tonight. Thank you very much for that. The wind is also nice and warm tonight. Yes,

perfect weather for a quiet evening outside. Thank you for sharing this beautiful

moment with me. Thank you for coming here with me. Goodbye. Goodbye. Have a wonderful evening.

Feeding birds in the park. Look at all these birds in the park today.

Yes, there are so many different ones today. I brought some bread to feed them this

afternoon. That is a really nice idea of yours. But bread is not always good for birds,

actually. Oh, really? I did not know that at all. Yes, seeds and small grains are much

better for them. What kind of seeds do birds usually like the most? Sunflower seeds and small

grains are their favorites. I will try to remember that for next time.

I also brought some seeds with me today. Good. Then we can use those seeds instead of bread.

Here. Take some seeds in your hand. Thank you very much for sharing. Just throw them very gently on the

grass. Like this? Yes, that is perfect.

Look, the birds are coming closer to us now. They are not afraid of us at all.

They probably know this place really well. Yes, many people feed them here every

single day. That little brown bird over there is so cute. I think that one is a small sparrow.

And what about the bigger gray one near the tree? That bigger one is a common pigeon.

There are also some ducks swimming near the lake. Yes, let us go and feed them as well.

That is a wonderful idea. Ducks really love seeds and corn very much.

I will save some of these seeds for them. The lake looks so calm and clear today.

And the ducks are swimming together in a long line. That is so funny and sweet to watch.

They look exactly like a happy little family. Maybe they really are a real family.

That would be a very sweet thing. Look, there's a tiny baby duck. Oh, it is so small and cute.

It is following its mother very closely. Nature is really so wonderful sometimes. Yes, I really love coming here often.

Have a good afternoon. Goodbye. You, too. Goodbye, my friend. Saving water at home.

I really want to talk about something important today. Of course, what is on your mind?

I think we use way too much water at home. Really? I have not noticed that at all.

The water bill was very high this month. Oh, that is really not good news. We need to find ways to save more water.

Yes, you are completely right about that. I have a few simple ideas to share.

Please tell me what you're thinking. First, we should take much shorter showers.

How short should the showers be exactly? Maybe just five or six minutes each time.

I can definitely try to do that. And we should turn off the water while brushing teeth.

That is a really easy change to make. Many people forget about this small habit.

I will try to remember it from now on. Also, the kitchen tap drips a little bit.

Yes, I have noticed that, too, recently. We should fix that problem very soon. I can call a plumber tomorrow morning.

Thank you. That really helps a lot. A small drip can waste a lot of water. Yes, even tiny drips become a big

problem. What about the dishwasher in our kitchen?

We should run it only when it is completely full. That makes a lot of sense to me.

Same rule for the washing machine, of course. A good rule for both machines.

I also want to water the plants in a different way. How exactly do you mean?

Early in the morning or late in the evening. Why those specific times of day?

The water does not dry up so quickly then. That is a really smart idea.

We can also collect rainwater outside. With big bucket near the garden? Yes, and the water is very good for the

plants. I really like that idea a lot. Thank you for thinking about this with

me. Thank you for listening so carefully. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Have a wonderful evening. Asking for a pay raise. Good morning. Do you have a few minutes

for me? Good morning. Yes, please come into my office.

Thank you very much for seeing me today. Of course. What would you like to talk about?

I want to talk about my current salary. I see. Please go ahead and tell me. I have been working here for 3 years

now. Yes, that is exactly correct. I work very hard every single day.

I know. Your work has been really very good. Thank you.

I really enjoy my job here. We are very happy to have you on the team.

I would like to ask for a small pay raise. I understand. That is a very fair

request. My responsibilities have grown a lot recently.

Yes, you do many different tasks now. I also help train all the new staff members.

That is true. You are a really good teacher. I think a small raise would be fair.

How much are you thinking of, exactly? Maybe around 5% more. 5% sounds quite reasonable to me.

Thank you so much for understanding. I will need to check with the senior manager.

Of course, I completely understand. I will speak with him sometime this week.

Thank you very much. Can you please give me until Friday for an answer?

Yes, that is absolutely fine with me. I really want to give you a clear answer.

I really appreciate that. You are a very valuable team member here.

That really means a lot to me. Do you have any other concerns today? Just one small thing on my mind.

Please tell me what it is. I would also really like more training. What kind of training are you thinking

about? Maybe some computer skills training, please.

That is actually a really good idea. It will help my work a lot. I can look for a course for you.

Thank you very much. Goodbye for now. Have a productive day. Goodbye.

Buying a second-hand car. Good afternoon. I am looking for a used car.

Good afternoon. Welcome to our garage. I need something simple and very reliable.

Of course, we have many good options for you. My budget is around $6,000.

That is a very fair budget. I want a small car for driving in the city.

Then I can show you a few good models. Thank you very much. This blue one over here is very popular.

It looks really nice. How old is it? This car is about 6 years old. How many kilometers has it driven so

far? It has driven about 90,000 km. That is not too much for the age.

No, the engine is in very good condition. >> [clears throat]

>> Has the car had any accidents in the past? No, the car is completely clean.

That is very important to me. We have all the official papers right here.

Can I please take a look at them? Of course, here you are. Thank you very much.

The last owner was very careful with this car. That is really good news for me.

The car was also serviced very regularly. How much does this car cost in total?

$5,500 only. That fits perfectly into my budget.

Would you like to take it for a test drive? Yes, please. I would love to.

Here are the keys for you. Thank you very much. Please take your time during the drive.

I will just drive around the block. Good idea. The car is driving very smoothly.

Yes, it really is a good model. The brakes also feel very strong. They are almost completely new.

I am very interested in this car. Take a moment and think about it. Thank you so much. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Applying for a credit card. Good morning. I would like to apply for

a credit card. Good morning. Of course, I can help you with that.

Thank you very much for your time. Please have a seat right here. Thank you very much.

Do you already have an account with our bank? Yes, for 2 years now.

That makes the whole process much easier. That is good to hear.

What kind of credit card are you looking for? Just a simple one for daily shopping.

We have a basic option for everyday use. That sounds absolutely perfect for me. It also has a very low yearly fee.

How much is the fee exactly? Just $20 per year. That is very reasonable.

We also have a completely free option. What is the difference between them? The free one has a smaller credit limit.

I see. That makes sense. How much money do you usually need each month?

Around $2,000 at the most. Then the basic card is much better for

you. Okay, I will take that one, please. A very good choice.

What documents do I need to apply? Just an ID and proof of income. I have my passport right here with me.

Perfect. And do you have your salary slip, too? Yes, I brought it with me today.

Excellent. That is everything we need. Anything else I should bring?

Just a signed application form. I can sign it right now. Here is the form for you.

Thank you very much. Please read it very carefully first. I will read every word.

Take your time, please. Everything looks very clear to me. Do you have any questions about the

form? When will I receive the new card? In about 1 week from today.

Thank you for the information. Goodbye. Have a great day. Goodbye. Visiting a museum.

Good morning. Two tickets, please. Good morning. Are these tickets for adults?

Yes, two adult tickets, please. That will be $20 in total. Here you are.

Thank you. Here are your two tickets. Thank you very much. Welcome to our museum.

Actually, it is my very first time here. Then I will give you some helpful tips. Thank you. That is very kind of you.

The museum has three different floors. What is on each of the floors? Beautiful art pieces on the first floor.

And what is on the second floor? History and many old objects. That sounds very interesting.

The third floor has photography exhibitions. Oh, I really love photography.

Then maybe start at the top floor first. That is a really good idea. Or you can follow the regular order.

I think I will start at the top. Take the elevator on your right side. Thank you very much.

How long do you plan to stay today? Maybe around 2 hours in total. That is enough time for a really nice

visit. Are there any guided tours available? Yes, we have one every hour.

How much does the tour cost? It is included in your ticket already. That is even better than I expected.

The next tour starts at 11:00 a.m. That is perfect timing for me. It usually lasts about 40 minutes.

I will definitely join the tour. Just wait near the main entrance. Where can I leave my bag safely?

There is a free locker room here. Wonderful. Thank you. It is just behind you over there.

Thank you. Are photos allowed inside? Yes, but please no flash photography.

I will remember that. There is also a nice cafe upstairs. Thank you for your help. Goodbye.

Enjoy your visit. Goodbye. Cheering up a friend. Hi, you look a little sad today, my

friend. Yes, I am not feeling great today. I am very sorry to hear that.

Thank you for asking. Do you want to talk about it with me? Maybe just a little bit.

I am here to listen to you. I had a really hard week at work. That is never easy for anyone.

My boss was very angry at me. Why was your boss angry at you? I made a small mistake on a project.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I know that, but I still felt very bad. That feeling is completely normal.

I could not even sleep last night. Try not to worry about it too much. I will try my best.

One small mistake is not the end of anything. You are right about that.

Tomorrow is always a brand new day. Yes, I know that. Let us do something nice today, just us.

Like what, for example? Maybe a long walk in the park? That actually sounds really good.

Or we could go and get some ice cream. Ice cream is always a great idea. Then let us do both things today.

Okay, you are really making me smile now. That is exactly my goal today.

Thank you for being such a good friend. That is what good friends are for. I really needed this conversation today.

I knew that you did. I sometimes forget to take a real break. We all need breaks sometimes.

You always know exactly what to say. I just listen very carefully to you. Sometimes that's enough.

Yes, often it really is enough. I already feel much better. Good. I am really glad to hear that.

The weather is also very nice today. Perfect for a long walk together. Thank you for cheering me up. Goodbye.

You will be just fine. Goodbye. A difficult boss.

Can I talk to you for a few minutes? Of course. What is wrong? I am having a lot of problems with my

boss. Oh, no. What exactly happened? He has been very difficult lately.

In what way is he being difficult? He shouts a lot during our meetings. That is really not good.

And he gives me way too much work. Have you talked with him about this? Not yet. I am too nervous.

I understand. It is really not easy. I just do not know what to do. Maybe write your thoughts down first.

That is actually a very good idea. Then you will feel more ready. Yes, that helps me think much more

clearly. Try to stay calm during the meeting. I will really try my best. Use simple

and clear words with him. Like what for example? Just tell him exactly how you feel.

Without getting angry, you mean? Yes, that is the most important key. That is going to be really hard.

But it works much better in the end. I see what you mean. Also, listen to him carefully.

Why should I listen to him? Maybe he has some problems, too. That is actually true.

Bosses also have a lot of stress. I sometimes forget about that. Try to find a solution together with

him. That sounds really fair. Most problems can be solved by just

talking. I really hope so. When are you going to talk to him?

Maybe sometime tomorrow. Good. Please do not wait too long. I will ask for a meeting in the morning.

That is the right step to take. Thank you so much for the good advice. You are very welcome.

I feel a little better already. I'm really glad about that. Thank you for listening to me. Goodbye.

Anytime. Have a good evening. Goodbye. A city bike rental. Good morning. I would like to rent a

bike, please. Good morning. For how long do you need it?

For the whole day, please. A full day costs $20. That is absolutely fine with me.

Have you ever rented a bike from us before? No, this is my very first time here.

Then I will need to see your ID. Here is my passport. Thank you very much.

Do you have many bikes in the shop? Yes, we have around 30 bikes. Wow, that is really a lot of bikes.

We have city bikes and electric bikes, too. What is the price for an electric bike?

$35 per full day. A normal city bike is fine for me. Good choice.

I just want something simple and easy. This blue one here is very popular. It looks really comfortable.

Try sitting on the seat first. It feels really good to me. Do you also need a helmet?

Yes, please. Safety first. Helmets are completely free with the bike.

That is wonderful. Here's your helmet. Thank you very much.

Do you have a city map with you? No, I do not have one. Then please take this map.

That is really very helpful. All the bike paths are marked in green. That is great.

Where exactly do you plan to go today? I want to go to the river park. That is a really beautiful place.

Is it very far from here? About 15 minutes by bike from here. That is quite close.

The bike path goes along the river. Perfect for a sunny day like today. Yes, the weather is very nice.

Thank you very much. Goodbye. Have a fun day. Goodbye. My package has not arrived.

Excuse me, sir. Yes, ma'am. How can I help? I ordered a package. It has not arrived. I'm sorry to hear that. When

did you order it? Five days ago. Five days. That is longer than normal. Yes, the website said 3 days.

I understand. Do you have the order number? Yes, here it is. Order number 48271.

Thank you. Let me check the system. Of course. I hope it is not lost. Please don't worry. Let me look.

Thank you. I see your order here. Oh, good. It left the warehouse 2 days

ago. 2 days ago? Then where is it? There was a delay at the delivery

center. A delay? Why? There were too many packages this week.

I see. That is frustrating. I understand. I'm very sorry. When will it arrive?

Tomorrow by 6:00 in the evening. Tomorrow? Are you sure? Yes, I can confirm that now.

Good. I need it for this weekend. You will have it before the weekend. What is in the package?

Our system shows it is a book. Yes, a birthday gift for my daughter. Ah, that is very important then.

Yes, her birthday is Saturday. You will receive it tomorrow. Don't worry.

Okay, I feel better now. We will send you a text message when it ships.

A text message. Good. You will know exactly when it arrives. That is very helpful. Thank you.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It's okay. These things happen. Thank you for your patience.

Of course. Have a good day. You too. Goodbye. Goodbye.

The ticket has been lost. Excuse me, ma'am. I have a problem. Yes, what is the problem? I bought a ticket,

but I lost it. Oh, when did you buy it? Yesterday, online. Online? Do you have the confirmation email? Yes, I have it

that is a relief. Your seat is number 14B. 14B,

good. Can I get a new ticket? Yes, I will print a replacement now. Thank you. Is there a fee? No, the first

replacement is free. Oh, good. I was worried about a charge. No charge this time. Here is your new ticket. Thank you

very much. Please keep it safe this time. Yes, I will. May I suggest saving it on

your phone? On my phone? Yes, take a photo of the ticket. Oh, that is a smart idea. Then you always have a copy. I

will do that now. Good, then you will never lose it. What time does the show start? At 7:30 this evening. And what

time should I arrive? Please arrive by 7:00. 7:00, that gives me 30 minutes. Yes, the doors

open at 6:45. Perfect, I will be on time. Good, have a wonderful evening. Thank you. You were

very helpful. My pleasure, enjoy the show. Thank you. Goodbye. Goodbye. I want to sell my phone.

Good morning, I want to sell my phone. Good morning, of course. Let me see it. Here it is.

It looks in good condition. Yes, I take good care of it. What model is this?

It is a Galaxy S21. Galaxy S21. How old is it?

Two years old. Two years and the screen is perfect. Yes, no cracks, no scratches.

That is good. Does the battery work well? Yes, it lasts a full day.

Good battery life. That is important. I charge it every night. That is the right way to care for it.

How much can I get for it? Let me check the current market price. Of course, take your time.

For this model in this condition, about $180. $180?

Yes, it is a fair price. I hoped for a little more. I understand, but the model is 2 years

old. Yes, I know. New models come out every year.

That is true. Prices go down quickly. Yes, technology changes fast. Why are you selling it?

Oh, I am the buyer, not the seller. >> [laughter] >> Sorry, I meant why do we buy phones?

No problem. Why am I selling it? I want a newer model.

Ah, upgrading. Very common. Yes, the camera on the new model is better.

The S24 is excellent. Yes, that is the one I want. Good choice. So, do you accept $180?

Okay, I accept. Good. We pay cash or bank transfer. Bank transfer, please.

Of course. Can I have your bank details? Yes, here is my account number. Perfect. The money will arrive today.

Today? That is very fast. Yes, we process same day. Thank you. That is very efficient. Thank

you for selling to us. Goodbye. Thank you. Goodbye. I can't find the receipt.

Excuse me, I want to return this item. Of course. Do you have the receipt? That is the problem. I cannot find it. I

see. When did you buy it? Last Tuesday. Last Tuesday. That is within the return

period. Good, but the receipt is missing. Did you pay by card?

Yes, by credit card. Then we can check the system. Really? You can find it without the

receipt? Yes, card payments are in our records. Oh, that is very helpful.

May I have your card, please? Yes, here it is. Thank you. One moment. Of course.

Yes, I found the purchase. Tuesday at 2:15. That is correct. That was me.

The item was $22. Yes, that is right. What is the reason for the return? The

size is wrong. It is too small. Too small. Okay. I bought medium, but I need large. Do

you want an exchange or a refund? An exchange, please, if you have large. Let me check the stock. Thank you.

Yes, we have large in stock. Oh, good. That is perfect. Here is the large size. Thank you. Can I check it first? Of

course. Please take your time. Yes, this looks correct. The price is the same. No extra charge.

Good. So, I just take this one? Yes, I will process the exchange now. Thank you. That was much easier than I

expected. We try to make returns simple. You succeeded.

>> [laughter] >> Thank you. I will keep my receipts next time.

That is always a good idea. I know. I always say that. We all do. Have a good day.

Thank you. You, too. Goodbye. Goodbye. Ordering food.

Excuse me, I am ready to order. Of course. What would you like? What do you recommend today? The grilled chicken is

very popular. Is it spicy? No, it is mild and savory. That sounds good. How is it served? With rice and a side

salad. Perfect. I will have that, please. One grilled chicken. Anything else? Yes. What soup do you have today?

Vegetable soup and chicken broth. I will have the vegetable soup, please. Good choice. It is very fresh today. And to

drink? Water, juice, or soft drinks? Just water, please. Still water. Still water, of course. How long will the food

take? About 15 minutes. 15 minutes. That is fine. Is this your first time here? Yes, my colleague recommended this

place. We are happy to have you. It looks very cozy inside. Thank you. We opened 2 years ago. 2 years? You are

well established. Yes, we have many regular customers. I can see why. How much is everything? Oh, sorry. I should

ask the price first. No problem. The chicken is $12. And the soup? $4. Water is free. So, $16 in

total. Yes, exactly. That is very reasonable. We try to keep prices fair. I appreciate that. I will bring your

soup first. Thank you. That is perfect. And the bread basket is on the table. Oh, I didn't notice. Thank you. Please

enjoy. Thank you very much. I will be back with your order. Enjoy. Thank you. Goodbye for now. See you in 15 minutes.

Why are there no vegetarian dishes? Excuse me, I have a question about the menu. Of course, what is it? I don't see

any vegetarian dishes. I'm sorry, you are right. I am vegetarian. I cannot eat meat. I understand completely. Is there

anything I can eat here? Yes, we can make some adjustments. Adjustments? Yes, some dishes can be made without meat.

Oh, really? Like which ones? The pasta dish. We can remove the chicken. And replace with something? With extra

vegetables, mushrooms and peppers. That sounds very good. The sauce is tomato, no meat in the sauce. Perfect. I would

like that, please. Of course, no problem. Do you have vegetarian soup? Yes, the vegetable soup is vegetarian.

Oh, good. Is there any cream in it? No cream, just vegetables and broth. I will have the soup, too, please. Of course,

good choice. I'm glad there are options. I'm sorry the menu doesn't show it clearly. Maybe you can add a vegetarian

section. That is a good suggestion. Many people are vegetarian now. Yes, you are right. I will tell the manager. Thank

you. That would be helpful. Your feedback is important to us. I appreciate that. We want all customers

to feel welcome. Yes, food choices are personal. Exactly. Everyone is different. Thank you for being so

helpful. Of course, it is my job. How much is the pasta today? The vegetarian pasta is $11. And the soup? $4. $15

total. Very good. Yes, I will bring the soup first. Perfect. Thank you so much. My pleasure. Enjoy your meal. Thank you.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Enjoy. The product is out of stock. Excuse me, ma'am. Yes. How can I help

you? I am looking for this product. Let me check. What is the name? It is called Fresh Start Shampoo. Fresh Start.

Let me look in the system. I always buy it here. I see. I'm sorry, it is out of stock. Out of stock? Really? Yes, I'm

very sorry. When did it sell out? Two days ago. It is very popular. Yes, it is my favorite shampoo. I understand. Many

customers ask for it. When will it be back in stock? We expect a

on Thursday. Thursday? That is 4 days away. Yes, I'm sorry for the wait. Is there a similar

product? Yes, we have Clean Day shampoo. Is it similar to Fresh Start? Very similar. Same ingredients.

Yes, it is very gentle on hair. I have sensitive hair. Clean Day is perfect for sensitive hair.

Okay, I will try it. Good, I think you will like it. Can you reserve Fresh Start for me? Yes, I can put your name

you will call me on Thursday? Yes, what is your phone number? 555-4729

Perfect, I will call Thursday morning. Thank you, you are very helpful. Of course, have a good day. You too,

goodbye. Goodbye, Mr. Cole. I lost my cat.

Excuse me, sir, I need your help. Of course, what happened? I lost my cat this morning.

Oh, no, that is very worrying. Yes, I am very upset. I understand. How long ago?

About 2 hours ago. 2 hours? That is recent. She went out and did not come back.

Does she go outside often? Yes, but always comes home by noon. And it is now 2:00.

Yes, 2 hours late. What does she look like? She is small, orange, and white.

Orange and white. Okay. Her name is Bella. Bella, a sweet name.

She answers to her name sometimes. Huh, sometimes. Yes, cats are like that. Have you seen an orange cat nearby?

Let me think. Not today. I looked on the street, no sign.

Did you check behind the building? Yes, and the garden next door. What about under the parked cars?

Oh, I didn't think of that. Cats like to hide under cars. I will check now.

Also, try calling her name softly. Yes, I will do that. And shake her food bag.

Oh, yes. She always comes for food. Huh, all cats do. That is a good idea. Thank you.

You can also make a small poster. A poster with her photo? Yes, put it on the nearby trees.

And my phone number. Yes, someone may have seen her. I have a good photo on my phone.

Perfect. Make the poster today. I will. Thank you for your ideas. I hope you find Bella soon.

Thank you. Me, too. I will keep an eye out for her. Thank you so much. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Good luck. Problem with the account.

Good morning. I have a problem with my account. Good morning. I'm sorry to hear that.

Please sit. Thank you. What is the problem? I cannot access my online account.

Cannot access it? Since when? Since yesterday evening. Did you forget your password?

No, I remember it, but it says error. An error message. I see. Yes, it says account locked.

Account locked. That usually happens after too many wrong attempts. I only tried twice.

I see. Let me check your account. Of course. My account number is

771-4493. Thank you. One moment, please.

Of course. I see here your account was locked at 8:00 p.m.

yesterday. 8:00 p.m.? That is strange. Yes, there were three login attempts.

Three attempts? But I only tried twice. The third attempt was from another device.

Another device? That is not me. I see. That is concerning. Someone tried to access my account?

It looks that way. We locked it for safety. Oh, so the lock was for my protection.

Yes, exactly. It is a security measure. That makes sense. Thank you. We take account security very seriously.

Yes, I understand now. I will unlock your account now. And change the password?

Yes, please choose a new password. Okay, something strong. Use letters, numbers, and a symbol.

Like a capital letter and a number? Yes, for example, star2024! is strong.

I understand. I will create a new one. Good. Your account is now unlocked. Perfect. Thank you.

Check your email. We sent a security notice. I will check it now.

Is there anything else I can help with? No, that is everything. Thank you. You're welcome. Take care. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Thank you. Check in at the concert. Good evening, I have a ticket for tonight. Good evening,

may I see your ticket? Yes, here it is on my phone. Thank you. Let me scan it. Of course. One moment, please. Is there

a problem? Just one second. The scanner is slow tonight. Huh, technology. Huh, yes, always at the wrong time.

Ah, here it is. It's scanned. Yes, your ticket is confirmed. Oh, good. I was a little worried. No need to worry. You

are in. What seat do I have? Row C, seat number eight. Row C. Is that close to the stage? Yes, very close. Excellent

view. Oh, that is wonderful. I paid extra for that. Huh, worth every dollar then. Huh, I hope so. What time does it

start? At 8:00 sharp. And it is now 7:40. Yes, 20 minutes. You have time. Is there

a bar inside? Yes, on the right as you enter. Good. I would like a drink. The bar closes when the concert starts. Oh,
