Dialogue Script: What´s the weather forecast for the weekend?
Nancy: Have you heard the weather forecast for the weekend?
Ted: Yeah, I heard it on the radio on the way to work this morning. It seems we are in for some very cold days. The weatherman said it might even snow on Sunday.
Nancy: Really? I guess I’ll have to change my plans then.
Ted: Why? What were you planning to do?
Nancy: I was supposed to go meet this friend who lives about a two-hour drive from here, but I always get a little scared to drive when it snows.
Ted: I see, but you’re used to very cold weather, aren’t you? You lived in Canada for about two years, right?
Nancy: I did. It was kind of tough for me to adapt at first, but I had a great time while living there. So, are you doing anything this weekend?
Ted: Well, with all this cold weather coming our way I might just as well stay home and watch some DVDs by the fireplace.
Nancy: Sounds cozy! I guess I might just do the same.
