STEVE: Not a bad party last night. Lots of old faces from college were there.
CLARE: (1) That sounds interesting; can you tell me more........?
STEVE: Yeah. Lizzie was there with her new husband. (2) This is something I’ve heard although it may not be true, .............., he’s something very high up and important in the civil service.
CLARE: Yes, I’ve heard that too. (3) This is my true opinion, although it may be shocking............ , I never really expected her to marry anyone successful. She was always so scruffy and laid back. She was never into social status or anything like that.
STEVE: (4) It is a logical deduction..............., she’s changed her outlook on life. I mean, she was very smartly dressed and she kept telling me all about how much money their new house had cost.
CLARE: (5) Do you expect me to believe that?...............
STEVE: Yes, she was really bragging about it.
CLARE: Well she never used to be interested in money at all. (6) This probably contradicts what I ‘ve just said..............,she did like eating out and travelling.
STEVE: (7) What I’m about to say isn’t really related to what we’ve been discussing...............,your old flame Simon was at the party.
CLARE: Was he? I haven’t seen him for ages.
STEVE: (8) As one would expect............, he couldn’t stop asking me questions about you.
CLARE: I think he still hopes that we might get back together one day.
STEVE: (9) That is completely accurate ...............
CLARE: Well, not much chance of that! Oh. was that obnoxious old creep Douglas Jarrold there?
STEVE: I’m afraid so. (10) I’m pleased about this .............., he was right over the other side of the room so I didn’t have to talk to him. He was trying to chat up Mary Bracknell. I can’t think why.
CLARE: (11) This is obvious ..............., he still fancies her.
STEVE: Maybe. She certainly wasn’t very interested in him, (12.) which one can sympathize with................
CLARE: Strange how some people never change, isn’t it?
