B: Rose, I know you’re nervous, but you play beautifully. Everyone will love hearing you.

2) A: Jan, are you to tell Thomas that he needs to do more work on the project? He hasn’t done his share. He’s being really lazy.

B: Well, he’ll probably get upset, but I’m going to talk with him about it this afternoon.

3) A: I’m so relieved that I found my wedding ring. It’d been missing for a month. The next time I take it off, I’m going to put it in a box on top of my dresser.

B: That sounds like a wise thing to do, Susan. It’d be terrible to lose your wedding ring again.

4) A: This is the first year I’m eligible to vote in the presidential election. I’m going to research all the candidates extensively.

B: They have very different position, Sam. It’s good to get as much information as you can.
