[phone rings]
KATE: Hello?
ROB: Hi, Kate. This is Rob.
KATE: Oh, hi, Rob. How are you?
ROB: I’m a little stressed out, actually. As I was packing my
suitcase this morning, I realized all the things I still have to do
to get ready for my business trip next week. I was wondering
if you could do me a big favor.
KATE: Sure, Rob. What is it?
ROB: I need someone to take care of my apartment while I’m
gone – you know, water the plants and feed my fish. Would
you mind doing that?
KATE: You know, Rob, I’d be happy to, but I’m going to be
out of town all next week on vacation. I won’t get back
until Friday.
ROB: Oh, OK. I’ll ask someone else, then. Thanks, anyway, Kate.
KATE: Oh, no problem. And I hope you find someone.

B Listen to the people talking. Check the correct answers.

CHARLIE: Hi, Sonia. I saw your roommate just now. She’s
really pretty. What’s she like?
SONIA: Well, Charlie, I like Grace most of the time. But
not always.
CHARLIE: What do you mean?
SONIA: Well, she’s not very serious.
CHARLIE: What’s wrong with that?
SONIA: Nothing, usually. I like to have fun, too. But sometimes I
like to be serious and talk about things that are important to
me, like global warming or politics.
CHARLIE: Can’t you do that with Grace?
SONIA: I’ve tried, but when she thinks I’m getting too serious, she
changes the subject.
CHARLIE: Well, I know what you mean. I like it when people can
have fun with me and be serious with me, too.
SONIA: Yeah, the perfect friend is someone who can talk to you
about anything.
