Conversation With a Neighbour: br Hi, Mr. Myers. br I'm doing great, thanks. What about you? br Oh, that's good to know. br Yeah, I've been busy at school, but it's not too much to handle. br I know, the weather's been terrible, eh? br You need something? Sure, what is it? br I'll fetch it as soon as I can, you're always welcome. br Yes, I'm sure it'll be no problem. br Well, I'll leave you to your work then. br Always a pleasure talking to you. br br Translation: br Hi, Mr. Myers. br I'm doing pretty badly-I've gotten a rather nasty cold and my nose is br still running. What about you? br Well, good for you, but that's not going to help me get better, is it? br Yeah, I've got a math test and a 5-page essay due tomorrow, and a br science project on Monday that I've barely started. br You can't imagine how heavy the workload pressure is. br The weather's bad, so what? Just deal with it. br No, I don't have the time to do any of your dinky little favours. br A problem always arises when I try to do something for you. br Well, I'll leave you to your work then. br Never a pleasure talking to you.
