UNIT 13.1- MAY I ASK YOU WHAT YOU’RE READING?
Mr. Evans: Hello Bob. Dining alone?
Bob: Paul and Marie went to get newspapers.
Mr. Evans: Do you mind if I join you?
Bob: Oh please, sit down.
Mr. Evans: May I ask what you’re reading?
Bob: Um, a history of the world.
Mr. Evans: The best seller. I’m very impressed. Reading nonfiction over lunch. I hear that it’s a very difficult book.
Bob: Ah no. It’s…it’s a pretty easy read. I can’t put it down actually.
Mr. Evans: A real page-turner huh?
Mr. Evans: Do you think I could borrow it when you’re done?
Bob: Sure.
Mr. Evans: I usually prefer fiction myself. You know thrillers, mysteries. There’s nothing like curling up with a good science fiction novel is there?
Bob: You read science fiction too?
Mr. Evans: Don’t tell anyone. Are you learning a lot from your book?
Bob: Oh yeah, I think so.
Mr. Evans: So, tell me what you’re reading about right now.
Bob: Um, this part is about Great Britain.
Mr. Evans: Really? Do you mind if I take a look?
Bob: Cheryl hates when I read comics.
Mr. Evans: That I can understand why you can’t put the book down. Do you think that I can borrow it then?
Bob: I’m still reading this one, but I have another one I can loan you.
Mr. Evans: I meant this one.
Bob: Oh, help yourself.

UNIT 13.2 – SCENE 2
Paul: Look at this. The paper says that a tornado carried a woman for 300 miles, and she lived to tell about it.
Marie: I’m not sure if you know this, but that story isn’t true.
Paul: It’s in the paper. It must be true.
Marie: That paper is trash. I can’t believe you’re reading it.
Paul: What do you mean?
Marie: It’s fiction, not news. Nothing in there is true. If you want real news, you have to read this paper.
Paul: That paper is boring. This one is much more interesting.
Marie: Woman gives birth to cow. Man builds house from bread. Baby with two heads. Come on. This is offensive.
Paul: Storm kills 100 in Texas. Train accident kills 5 injures more. Man kills wife and son. I’m sorry, but all that death and destruction is pretty offensive to me.
Marie: I know that these things happened, and I know that those didn’t.
Paul: You don’t know that. You just assume that it’s true.
Marie: Let’s ask Bob and Mr. Evans what paper they read. Never mind. Let’s just read.
Paul: That sounds good to me. Look at this. A man with four legs.
