3.2 How’s your day?

Mini-lesson

Work with your partner to practice the following dialogue (credit: lingq.com):

– Hello, darling. Did you have a good day?

– Not bad. The usual sort of things. Meetings, phone calls, letters… You know.

– Did you see anybody interesting?

– Well, Richard came into the office this morning. We had a long talk.

– Oh, yes. What about?

– Oh, this and that. Things… You know.

– I see.

– And then Janet turned up. As usual. Just when I was trying to finish some work.

– And what did you do?

– Had lunch with her.

– Where did you go? Somewhere nice?

– No. Just the pub round the corner. A pie and a pint, as usual.

– And in the afternoon?

– Then in the afternoon there was a budget meeting. It went on for hours.

– Sounds like a boring day.

– Well, not so bad, but not so interesting. And how was your day?

– No better. A lot of work, a lot of meetings… However, it’s over, and it’s OK.
