- Not at all.
Dialogue 18
- So you've passed your exams.
- It wasn't all that difficult.

- I'd like to see your sister. Is she in?
- Oh, no. She's still at school.

- Yes.
- Well, what's happened?
- You see ... I ... well ...
- Come on now, out with it!
- All right, then, if you must know. I've got a bad mark.
- What? Again?
Dialogue 27
- I say, what's wrong?
- Nothing. Everything's fine.
- Why are you crying, then? Will you tell me what's happened?
- Well, you see, I've lost my book.
- Have you looked for it everywhere in the room?
- Yes. I still can't find it.
Dialogue 28
- What are you looking at?
- That book.
- Which one? Point to it.
- That one, there.
- Oh, yes. Beautiful one, isn't it?
- Yes, it is. I wish I had it.
- So do I.
Dialogue 29
- What about killing that fly?
- No.
- Why not?
- Why should I?
- Isn't it annoying you?

- Well, it's annoying me.
- In that case you kill it yourself.
