M: Hi, Mary, it’s been a long time

W: Hello, my old friend. Long time no see. How are you doing?

M: Oh. I’m sorry to hear that. What happened?

Conversation 4

M: Good morning, Miss Li.

W: Morning, Mike.

M: I’m sorry that I was absent yesterday.

W: Have you received the reading material handed out yesterday?

Conversation 5

M: Hi, Lilly, it’s so nice to see you again.

W: Hum, me too. This winter holiday was especially long. What have you done?

M: Nothing special. I had a get-together with some schoolmates at the high school, visited the Internet and read a couple of books which I had been longing for. How about yours?

W: You know, I like traveling. I made good use of this long vacation and enjoyed myself.

Conversation 6

M: I’m sorry to hear that. Is there anything else I can do?

W: No, thanks.

M: Well, I hope you’ll feel better soon.

W: Thank you for your concern.
