JANE AND MAGGIE ¹HAVE A CHAT

 

Maggie: Come in, Jane, we're just finishing supper. ²You'll have a cup of coffee, won't you?

Jane: Thanks, Maggie.

Jim: Well, I must be leaving now, or I'll be late for my class. Good-bye, Jane. ³Sorry I can't stay and talk to you.

Jane: Good-bye, Jim.

Maggie: Come and sit down ⁴by the fire, Jane, and tell me all about your new job. It's with a ⁵travel agency, isn't it?

Jane: Yes, I do our ⁶Austrian correspondence.

Maggie: Is your German still good enough or do you write your letters in English?

Jane: ⁷I can just about manage with my German, and I'm learning Russian, you know.

Maggie: Russian? Why?

Jane: We arrange tours in Eastern Europe as well. I go to evening classes twice a week and ⁸I'm getting on quite well. ⁹Why don't you come along, Maggie, you'd enjoy it. I remember ¹⁰you used to be very good at languages at school.

Maggie: Oh, I'm ¹¹far too tired in the evenings. After supper I sit down with a book or listen to the radio. You're much more energetic than I am.

Jane: I enjoy the classes, but I must say they are tiring. ¹²It's a good thing I don't have to catch 8 o'clock train these days.

Maggie: What time do you start work then?

Jane: 9.30. I usually catch the 8.55. Er... sometimes ¹³Robert gives me a lift on his scooter.

Maggie: Who's Robert?

Jane: Oh, he's just ¹⁴someone I met in my Russian class. He lives ¹⁵just round the corner from me.

Maggie: And he owns a scooter and ¹⁶takes you to work on it. That's a good beginning.

Jane: A good beginning for what, Maggie? Don't start ¹⁷jumping to conclusions. We're just friends.

Sometimes Robert gives me a lift on his scooter

Maggie: And ¹⁸what does he do for a living, this Robert?

Jane: He works on ¹⁹the Daily Sentinel as a reporter. This week ²⁰he's covering the Trade Union Congress in ²¹Blackpool.

Maggie: And why is he learning Russian?

Jane: He wants to go to Russia this summer, if he can.

Maggie: Well, I can see you're going to make excellent pro­gress in your Russian classes, ²²with such interesting company. Are you learning to ride a scooter as well?

Jane: Don't be silly, Maggie!
