Dialogue

Here is a conversation between Joan and her husband Steve.

It's Monday morning and something is happening next door.

Joan:

Steve, what's all that noise outside?

Steve:

Just a minute, I'll have a look. ....... Oh! It looks as if the new next door neighbours are moving in.

Joan:

It's a bit early, isn't it? Ah well I guess we'd better get ready for work.

Steve:

It's amazing how quickly the houses are selling round here, the Browns only put theirs on the market about a month ago.

Joan:

Where did they move to in the end?

Steve:

I think he told me they were buying a detached house in Surbiton.

Joan:

Sounds lovely. I hope the new neighbours are nice.

Steve:

Well, I was speaking with Mr Brown last week. He told me they were a young couple with two daughters. They liked the house because the school here has a good reputation.

Joan:

Two daughters! That will please John.

Steve:

Maybe we'd better pop next door and say hello.

Joan:

Yes, and maybe we'd better start thinking of selling as well. I fancy a detached house in Surbiton too.

Steve:

Hmm?
