Read the below conversation.

W: What are you reading, Paul?

M: Oh, it's a book about naval engineering.

W: Why are you reading on Friday evening?

M: Because I've got to write an essay this weekend.

W: What are you going to do when you've qualified?

M: I don't know. I'd like to get a job abroad, I think. What are you going to do when your year at Weston is over?

W: I'm going to spend a few weeks touring Britain, then I'm going back to Canada, I suppose.

M: What is John going to do?

W: I think he's going to open a branch of" pretty feet"in London.

M: What is he doing in Italy?

W: He's seeing some designers here. He's coming back tomorrow. By the way, what are you and Sue doing on Saturday evening?

M: I don't know yet. Why?

W: Well, I thought we could cook another of our suppers and invite John and Sue.

What would the listener say?


M: Oh, no! Not Potato Salad again! Sorry, Barbara, but I really have to read this book.
