Study some examples and then we will be at the practice session.Person A: "Why didn’t you come to my party last night?"Person B: "I’m sorry I couldn’t make it. I had to go visit my grandmother at the hospital."Person A: "Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Is she doing ok?"Person B: "They just completed a small operation and the doctors said she should recover."Person A: "Did you get a chance to go to that new restaurant down the street?"Person B: "Yeah. I ordered the special, but the server screwed up my order."Person A: "That sucks. So what ended up happening?"Person B: "They finally got my steak out, but it was overcooked. It was a terrible experience."Person A: "What did you do last weekend?"Person B: "I went on a date with Sammy."Person A: "Really? How was it?"Person B: "I couldn’t ask for a better night. We talked all through out our two hour dinner, and then we sat by the river and cuddled in the night."Person A: "Didn’t you finish finals week?"Person B: "Don’t remind me. I think I failed most of the exams."Person A: "Why did you do so terrible?"Person B: "My mind just went blank. I think I overloaded my brain. I just couldn’t concentrate during the exams."
