A: Hey Anne, there’s a guy in my Spanish class who’s really cool. He’s really friendly and easy to talk to. He just always seems happy.

B: Oh, really? He must have a lot of friends.

A: Yes, I think he does. He tells really funny jokes all the time, too. I’m always laughing in class.

B: Man! He sounds great!

A: Well, he is, but he forgets his book every day. Then he asks to share mine. I hate that!

B: Sounds like we have a lot in common. I always forget my book, too. I’d love to meet him. Why don’t you introduce us some time?

2.

A: There’s this new girl in class named Rosie. She always looks like she’s in a bad mood. I don’t know if she’s just very shy or what.

B: Really?

A: Yeah, when someone tells a really funny joke, we all laugh, but she doesn’t seem to think it’s funny.

B: No way!

A: But she is very good at music. She always practices the piano after school.

B: That’s nice. But I don’t think I could get along with her, because laughing and having fun are important to me.

3.

A: There’s this guy who sits in front of me on the bus sometimes. He never talks to anyone. He just sits there and talks to himself. It’s kind of-weird.

B: Oh, man! Really?

A: Yeah. He likes to make people laugh, though. He’s always making funny faces and making animal noises and things like that. Sometimes he’s really funny.

B: That does sound funny.

A: But you know, he always chews gum really loudly. I really hate that!

B: Me, too!

4.

A: There’s a really cute guy from Canada on the basketball team!

B: Oh yeah?

A: Yeah. And he’s really outgoing. Very friendly, too.

B: Tell me more.

A: Well, it’s difficult to get him to laugh. He doesn’t seem to enjoy any jokes. I guess he’s pretty serious. But he’s very good-looking.

B: Hmm. Sounds cute. Do you know if he has a girlfriend?

A: I’m sure he has many. He always asks a new girl out on a date every weekend. I don’t like guys like that.

B: Yeah, but as long as he’s cute, I don’t mind.
