Beginner Conversation: Celebrations and holidays

WARM UP

Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Sam and you will be Alice. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.

READ

Alice, do you know that our cousin, Dani, is having a birthday party tomorrow?
I know that it is his birthday tomorrow but I didn’t know that he is having a birthday party. Are we invited?

Of course, we are. He just called me. That is why I told you about his birthday. We have to go to the mall to buy a gift for him.
Okay, but there is one problem. I don’t know what kind of gift we should give him.

Dani likes anything with dinosaurs, like I do.
Right, I remember. You two used to play toy dinosaurs. Well then, let’s now go to the mall and buy a gift for him.
