Man

Hey, did you enjoy the party? Who was there? 

Tell me all about it!

Woman

It was good fun, except that I met Rosie’s new

seemed bad-mannered.

Girl 

Did you see the outfit that Rihanna was wearing

at the Music Awards? Rather bright, wasn’t it?

Girl 

I did see it. I thought it was great, actually. Very 

creative, just like her personality.

Boy 

I wish that footballer would keep his views to 

himself. He’s always got too much to say about 

the other players.

Boy  

Yes, he’s a bit too judgemental in interviews. It’s

fine to have opinions, but he goes too far, 

doesn’t he?

Man

Listen to this. The Education Minister is now 

saying that teachers deserve a pay rise. That’s 

a complete change of opinion! 

Woman

I’m glad to hear it. He’s been listening to public 

opinion, obviously. It’s not often that you get an 

open-minded politician.
