<em><u>Conversation:</u></em>
<em>Fred: (waves to Sarah) Hi, umm... I just moved here. My name is Fred.
</em>
<em>Sarah: Hi Fred. Where are you from?
</em>
<em>Fred: Florida. The weather here in Michigan sure is cold.
</em>
<em>Sarah: I know what you mean, I moved here from San Diego two years ago. Wait until January.
</em>
<em>Fred: I can just imagine. Hey do you mind if I sit with you for a little while?
</em>
<em>Sarah: No, take a seat. I’d love the company during lunch.
</em>
<em>Fred: It’s been hard to meet anyone since I started school last week. Thanks.
</em>
<em>Sarah: No worries. I know exactly how you feel. I moved at the end of the school year and </em>
<em>didn’t get to know anyone. Then I spent the summer alone. </em>
<em>Fred: Aw, bummer. It sure is tough to start a new school. </em>
<em>Sarah: Yeah, but when school started again, I met some cool people. </em>
<em>Fred: I am really shy about meeting new people.
</em>
<em>Sarah: Well, I can introduce my friends to you.
</em>
<em>(bell rings)
</em>
<em>Fred: That would be great! Guess lunch is over. It’s been great talking to you.
</em>
<em>Sarah: You too. Meet me here for lunch tomorrow and I’ll introduce my friends.
</em>
<em>Fred: Great. Bye.
</em>
<em>Sarah: Later.</em>
