Conversation 2
Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland.
Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you.
Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it. "And what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation?" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ...
Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going? You've got my laptop!
Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon.
Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work.
Kate: She should have been more careful.
Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid!
Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief!
Kate: You were talking in your sleep.
Janet: What was I saying?
Kate: "Stupid, stupid."
Mark: I've sorted out your computer.
Janet: Have you? Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem?
Mark: It was the graphics card, as I predicted ...
Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark.
Kate: He's great, isn't he?
Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate.
Kate: You're such a good friend.
