Sally's Phone

Sally is having breakfast with her mother and her brother Jack. 'I'm going out tonight,'

Sally tells her mother. 'Andrew

and I are meeting his new boss.' 'Andrew?' Jack says. 'Huh!' 'Oh be quiet, Jack,' Sally says. 'Andrew is very nice to me.' 'Nice?' Jack says. 'Huh! "Yes, Andrew."

"Sally, I want a sandwich."

"Sally, I don't

like your hair."

"No,

Andrew, sorry Andrew." "Sally-'" But then Sally stands

up, and J ack runs out of the

room.

'Hello Sally, it's Andrew.' Andrew is Sally's boyfriend. He has got a lot of money and a beautiful and expensive car. 'Andrew, it's only seven o'clock-' 'Don't

Then the train goes into a tunnel. The people on the train can not talk on their phones. They must talk to the other people on the train. 'Hello, Max! How are you?' 'Oh, hello Graham! I'm very well.' 'Where are you working now, Lucy?' 'I'm in a new office in Bank Street.' 'Those are nice shoes, J ane.' . 'Thank you, Mary.' After three minutes, the train comes out of the tunnel.
