Read and listen to four conversations using the grammar.

----------------------------------

Conversation 1

Man: Wow. You sound terrible.
Woman: Yeah, I think I have the flu.
Man: Oh, well, you’d better go home and get some rest.
Woman: I will, as soon as I finish this.
Man: No, no, no. You need to stop. It'd be better for all of us.
Woman: I guess you're right. I don't want you to get sick, too.

Conversation 2

Man: Where's Sally? I need her to sign this.
Woman: I think she just left to go home.
Man: Oh, no! Maybe I can catch her.
Woman: Well, you’d better hurry.
Man: Thanks. I'll try to catch her.
Woman: Good luck.

Conversation 3

Man: Well, it's getting late. I'd better get going.
Woman: Okay. Thanks for stopping by.
Man: Oh, it was my pleasure. Thanks for inviting me.
Woman: Any time. So, how are you going home?
Man: I'm thinking of taking the expressway.
Woman: You’d better drive slow then. The fog is bad tonight.
Man: Thanks, will do.

Conversation 4

Man: Oh, man, this pizza is great.
Woman: Yeah, it is. But how many slices have you had?
Man: I'm not sure. Maybe eight or 10 or 12.
Woman: Yeah, you'd better slow down. You'll get sick.
Man: Yeah, you're right. I'd better take it easy.
Woman: Yeah. And save some for me, will you?
