Beginner Conversation: Technology and Internet

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

Hey, Alice. Is our internet okay?
Well, yes. In fact, I am watching cooking videos online. Why?

I cannot seem to connect on our internet. I have an online game to play in ten minutes.
Did you try to turn off our internet line?

Not yet, but since you asked, I guess I have to try. Maybe after I turn off our internet and turn it on again, it will finally be okay.
Let’s hope so.
