THE DAILY PROGRAMME
Nina: Hello, Mary.
Mary: Hello, come in. Don’t mind the mess. I’m just doing the room.
Nina: Oh, what a pity you are busy! Look, I’ve got two tickets for the cinema. The show begins at five sharp.
Mary: Don’t worry. We have enough time for everything. We still have an hour before the show. It never takes me much time to tidy up my room.
Nina: Let me help you. What can I do?
Mary: If you like you can water the flowers and dust the books while I sweep the floor and put everything in its place.
Nina: Shall I put this flower-pot on the window-sill?
Mary: Yes, please.
Nina: It’s a bit stuffy in here. Do you mind if I open the window?
Mary: Oh, no. I don’t mind a bit!
Nina: Now the room looks quite tidy. There is nothing else to do. Let’s go.
Mary: Wait a moment. I’ve got to wash up.
Nina: Somebody else can do it.
Mary: Of course, but today it is my turn to do it. We all help mother about the house as much as we can.
Nina: And who does the shopping in your family?
Mary: As a rule, mother goes shopping after work. Oh, that reminds me. I must buy something for supper. Mother has a lecture tonight.
