B : What movie are we watching?
A : ‘Insurgent’
B : Who’s the star?
A : My favorite actor all the time, Theo James!
B : Oh my! My favorite too.
A : Okay then, I’ll go buy the ticket for us.
B : Make sure you don’t get us in the front row seats. I don’t like being in the front row.
A : I know. I don’t like either. But the cinema is free seated, so we can choose our seat.

B : I hope so. I’ll go and get in line, you buy the snacks and soda right there, okay?
A : Okay, dude!
B : We’ll meet again here.
A : Fine. But, what if they run out of tickets for this movie?
B : I guess that means we’ll just have to watch another movie.
A : Okay, how about ‘The Last Song’ instead?
B : Okay, that’s pretty cool!

B : Well, I don’t know the exact zip code. Do you mind if I come back later? I have to go home and ask.
A : Of course not. You’re free to come back anytime.
B : What time does this post office close?
A : We’re close at 4.30 p.m.
B : Okay, that means I still have time. Bye.
A : Bye-bye.

·         A : I need to send these invitations.
B : I’m sorry, sir, but these invitations must be put in envelopes.
