Short Conversation
Direction : Read the following conversation with your instructor.
It seems like Sophia and Steven are having an argument.
Sophia : I heard you were shopping with an attractive girl the other day.
Steven : Oh this again? You just can’t help finding fault with me, can you? Why don’t you
concentrate on your school work or hobby or something?
Sophia : Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? Our relationship is not what it used to be
all because of you.
Steven : It doesn’t matter whose fault it was or who did what. I’m just so tired of being accused and
grilled for silly things like this. It’s just so unproductive and unhealthy.
Sophia : What you have been doing and all your ridiculous lies are exposed and you are still not even
admitting anything. I can no longer take this.
Steven : Neither can I. Why don’t you pack what few belongings you have and leave?
I can’t stand your being insecure all the time anyway.
Sophia : Don’t talk to me as if I were your burden or something. I am leaving.
