Exercise on Conversations (Basic)

We make Conversations every day.
Here is an interesting exercise on Conversations:

Match the Statements with the appropriate responses:

2. Why is everything in your report arranged in the wrong order?
3. I never liked the philosophy of your school.
4. You very well know how cold it is in our town.
5. I am extremely angry at and unhappy about what happened today.


RESPONSES
A) You have to rise above it and carry out your duty.
b) I wouldn’t bank on it, but let’s not loose hope.
C) I am so sorry. I dropped the file in the morning and picked it in a hurry; guess everything’s muddled up now.

E) Yes, I am carrying enough clothes to wrap myself up.

One of you asked me if we could talk about the new office, but I’d prefer to leave that aside for today and come back to it some other time. I’m sure I don’t need to spell out how important it is that we’re all thoroughly prepared for the upcoming conference, so maybe we can deal with that first. So, let’s have a quick run through of the schedule and discuss each event in detail.
