Hi! I'm Hong lei. What's your name?
Hello, Hong Lei. My name's Ricky.
Hi Ricky. Are you a new student here?
Yes, I had my first lesson this morning. Are you a new student too?
No, I've been here for six months.
Six months. That's a long time.
It's not so long really. What class are you in? Intermediate or. . . ?
Intermediate Three. And what about you?
I'm in Advanced One. Who's your teacher?
I can't remember her name, but she's got curly red hair.
Ah! Does she wear glasses?
Yes, I think so.
That's probably Anne Wallis.
Yes that's right. Do you know her? Is she your teacher too?
No. But she taught me last term. How long have you been here?
Only a week.
Wow, not long. Where do you live? With a family?
Well, I'm staying at the YMCA at the moment. I'm looking for somewhere more permanent. Do you know of any good places?
Yes. Actually my friend has a spare room in here apartment and she's looking for a flatmate. Would you like her phone number?
That would be great! Thanks for your help. Can I buy you coffee?
