Conversation 2

Man: Well, the party will go until midnight, so please come if you have time.
Woman: Thanks. Should I bring anything?
Man: No, I think I have everything covered, but you can bring extra drinks if you like.
Woman: OK. Can I park at your house?
Man: Parking might be a problem, so if you can, I would take the subway.
Woman: OK, I will do that.
Man: If it is raining though, just call and I will pick you up from the station.

Man: Yes, I know.
Conversation 4
Man: What are your plans for the winter holiday?

Woman: Oh, I didn’t know you are writing a book.
Man: Yeah, this is my third one. I try to keep it secret.
Woman: Really! I had no idea. What books have you written?
Man: Well, I’ll tell you, but only if you promise to keep it a secret.
Woman: I promise. So what is the book?
Man: Well …
