Coming for tea
It's Friday afternoon and John's friend Mark is coming for tea tomorrow.
Mrs S: John, is Mark coming for tea tomorrow?
John: Yes mum, I told you yesterday!
Mrs S: Oh did you? Sorry, I must have forgotten.
John: What are we having?
Mrs S: I don't know yet, I was just writing out the shopping list. What sort of things does he like?
John: Anything, just about. I know he hates pasta though, he never eats school dinner if it's pasta.
Mrs S: OK, what about pizza.
John: Yeah, pizza would be great, not too much salad though please mum.
Mrs S: How about a fruit salad for pudding instead?
John: With ice cream?
Mrs S: Yes, ok.
John: Great, I can't wait!
Entertaining at Home - It's Saturday and John's friend Mark has just arrived.
John: Hi Mark!
Mark Hi John, how's it going?
John: Fine, and you?
Mark Oh you know.
John: Yeah, tell me about it.
Mrs S: Hello Mark, how are you.
Mark: Very well thank you Mrs Smith.
John Mum, can we go and play in my room?
Mrs S: Yes, after tea. We're having pizza tonight Mark, is that alright?
Mark: Yes Mrs Smith that should be fine, but I am a vegetarian.
Mrs S: Oh John, you didn't tell me!
John Sorry mum, I didn't know.
Mrs S: Well it's just as well I bought mushroom pizza as well then, isn't it?
Mark: I'm sorry if it's any trouble Mrs Smith.
Mrs S: Don't worry Mark, it's not your fault, we can eat the salami pizza and you can have the mushroom one. Why don't you both go and play upstairs, tea will be a little bit longer than expected!
