Dialogue А

A: Can I help you?

B: Yes, please. You see, I want to adopt a puppy, but I don’t know much about

dogs or how to take care of them.

A: Right. I can recommend this book. Have a look – it gives a detailed

description of the most popular breeds of dog so that you can choose which

is the best for you.

B: Oh, and it also contains very good pictures! These puppies are so cute! Yes,

I’m taking it …though the price is rather high… Anyway.

A: The cash-desk is over there.

B: Fine. Thank you.

Dialogue B

A: I’ve got a complaint, I’m afraid.

B: What’s happened, sir? Just let us know. We do everything we can to keep

our guests happy.

A: The problem is …that …there’s a dog in the room next to mine.

B: Yes, and what’s the actual problem? Many of our visitors choose us for just

that reason. We admit pets which is very convenient for those who travel

with animals.

A: But why did nobody tell me about that? The dog barks! I can’t sleep

properly at night.

B: Sorry, sir. But the only thing we can do is to offer you another room. I’ll just check which one would be quieter.

Dialogue C

A: It’s pretty cold today, isn’t it?

B: Yes, it is. But I’ve got used to walking in any weather.

A: Is it because you have to walk your dog?

B: Yes. Twice a day, at least. We are heading to the pond at the moment – there

are special facilities for dogs there, like ladders and ramps. Are you going

there too?

A: Oh, no, I’m going home. That’s enough jogging for me for today. Too cold!

Dialogue D

A: Are you leaving? So soon?

B: Yeah. I have to. I need to walk my dog and he won’t accept any excuses on

my part.

A: Yeah, I understand… What kind of dog have you got?

B: A Labrador. He’s very clever but hates it if we don’t follow his routine.

A: That’s a shame… I mean that you are leaving… because it’s so cool here.

And the music is great.

B: Ok. Just one more dance and I’ll be off.

A: Yay! A good decision.
