CONVERSATION: ALYSSA WEARS A BOW TIE
A: Hi … how are you?
B: Hey ….. I am fine, thanks.
A: I am very happy to go to school again. What about you?
B: Well, not exactly. I am still tired. School is not that bad but I hate alarm clocks!
A: Yes, that was one of the best parts of the holidays. I have been thinking a long time about what to wear today.
B: Why is that?
A: Because my parents taught me that you can only make a first impression once.
B: Yes, they are right. So what did you choose to wear today?
A: I picked out my nicest jeans and a T shirt with this lovely jacket.
B: Well, you chose the right things to wear, you are looking good!
A: And what about you?
B: I had to wear this old outfit because my mum didn’t have the time to go shopping with me. But she promised to go shopping with me next Saturday.
A: What do you want to buy?
B: I would really want a pair of the most modern jeans with tears in them, but I don’t know if my mum will agree to that.
A: Oh yes, I understand that. My mum doesn’t want to buy me tattered jeans either! She told me to go and tear up some of my old jeans.
B: Yes, that’s what my mum told me as well. Mums are sooo old-fashioned.
A: Right, there’s the bus. Let’s get on!
