Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Sam and you will be Alice. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.
READ
I heard you are planning to have a small business. Have you decided about it?
|
Yes, I have. I would like to invest in a small convenience store near the school. What do you think?
|
|
That is a nice idea. The location is perfect since there are lots of students within that area.
|
|
Exactly. Do you think it will be possible to achieve it early next year?
|
|
Why not? I believe it is possible even at the end of this year if you already have the budget for it. Go for it!
|
|
You actually have a point. I already have the budget. What I just need to do now is to prepare the documents. Thanks for your encouragements. |
