L: it’s so great to be here! I’m so excited to help you and my daughter with your new home!
D: we’re glad that you’re here. Would you like a tour of the house?
L: that’d be great, but could I have a cup of tea first?
D: sure, I’ll just go put the kettle on. Why don’t you have a seat on the sofa and I’ll go take care of things in the kitchen.
L: that would be lovely, thanks.
D: do you take milk or suger with your tea?
L: I’ll take a little milk, but no suger, please. Make sure you let the tea steep a few minutes before you take the tea bag out of the cup.
D: ok. What do you think about our living room?
L: well, I do like the mantelpiece and the coffee table, but I don’t really care for curtains. Did you get them at a yard sale? They look ancient.
D: my parents gave them to us as a house warming gift.
L: oh dear. Well, I suppose they will do for now. do you ever dust in here? It seems a bit dusty in here.
D: your daughter usually does the dusting, and I do the vacuuming.
L: I see. Well, I can help with the chores while I’m here. You two could probably use my help.
D: that’s very nice of you to offer. Here’s your tea. Be careful, it’s still quite hot.
