Mind if I...?

Here are the conversation openers and replies that we used in class today. I'll give you everything on a handout on Monday.

Mind if I join you?
Sure. Go ahead.


Sorry to butt in…
No problem. Go ahead.

How are you?
Fine thanks. Any you? You’re looking well.

Nice to see you again.
Nice to see you too. How are you?

It’s been a long time, hasn’t it.
Yes, I think we last spoke a month ago.

Terrible weather, isn’t it.
Yes, awful. I think it’s rained every day since I arrived.

That’s a nice shirt / blouse.
Thanks. I bought it from Harrods.

This coffee’s a bit weak.
Yes it is, isn’t it. Not like the coffee you get in Italy.
