Oh, yes, that’s great. Sorry, I haven’t got time then. Yes, I would. Thanks for the invitation. I’d like to, but I can’t. I ‘d rather take a rain check this time.
5 Let’s listen: Sam has invited us to his birthday party! Emma and Lisa are in a big department store today. They are looking for a birthday present for Sam.
?? ?
Emma: What are we looking for, Lisa? Lisa: I have no idea. Hey, nice jeans! I’d like to try them on. Emma: Come on, Lisa, we aren’t trying on clothes today. We’re looking for a present for Sam. Lisa: But, Emma! I have nothing to wear to Sam’s party. We can kill two birds with one stone and buy some outfit for ourselves. Look, I need a pair of jeans that fit me nicely, a skirt from Donna Karan, several shirts, a blouse, a blazer… Emma: Are you crazy? Do you have enough money? How much money do you have anyway? Lisa: I’m kidding. I’m in no rush to buy. To be honest, it’s not that big of a deal because I shop year round. Emma: I like shopping for clothing too. It’s a lot of fun finding new shirts or new jeans to put on, trying out new outfits that I normally wouldn’t wear. The only thing I dislike about it is the prices of course, but I really have a good time going out and looking for things – that hunter-gatherer instinct in me. Anyway, we need to find something special for Sam. Lisa: Listen, how about this funny t-shirt with some text…it looks so cute. Emma: T-shirt? Special? It has to be special, silly, but what?
6 Let’s talk: What is a special present? a) Work with your partner. Discuss what could be a special gift for Sam? For you?
