LISTENING TRANSCRIPT

Part 2

Josie and Magda are both stay-at-home moms. They live in the same neighbourhood and their sons attend the
same school. They have recently gotten to know each other and are beginning to become good friends. Listen to
their conversation:

Magda: Hi Josie. How are you doing? I’ve got something to tell you.
Josie: Hi Magda. To tell you the truth I’m right in the middle of something now.
Can I call you a bit later?
Magda: Oh, I’m sorry. What are you doing?
Josie: Well, I’m in the middle of painting my kitchen and I want to finish before the plumber
comes to install my new sink.
Magda: Wow! You are busy. Anyway, I just want to tell you about an interesting presentation
that the community centre is giving two weeks from now. It’s about how to get children
to eat more vegetables, and I thought we could get a bunch of mothers from the
neighbourhood and make it a night out? What do you think?
Josie: Magda, honestly, I’m too busy to talk about it.
Magda: We could go out for dessert and coffee after the presentation. You know, a real girls’
night out.
Josie: Yeah sounds good, but I’m going to have to let you go now.
Magda: Well okay, I’ll talk to you later. Bye.
Josie: Bye.
