Prateek – Hey Jay, how are you? It has been such a long time.

Jay – I am doing good. Yes, four long years after college. I got your contact number from Piyush. You
remember him, right?

Prateek – Yes, yes, I do remember him. Wasn’t he the one who topped our engineering batch last year?

Jay – Yes, that’s him! He’s in Boston working for a big MNC now.

Prateek – Wow! Good for him.

Jay – The main reason I called you up is because I am planning to organise a reunion of our batch and
wanted to know if you could make it.

Prateek – Really? Yes, I would love to attend the reunion. Just let me know the time and venue.

Jay – Do you remember the auditorium of our college where we had our orientation program?

Prateek – How can I forget that auditorium? We all have spent so much time in that place over the years.

Jay – That’s the place for our reunion. I called up the college regarding this and they gave us permission
to have the reunion there. In fact, some of our professors might also be there. I’ve sent out invitations to
them too.

Bye

Sample Conversation 3 – Between Two Friends Discussing a Movie

Anjali – Hi, Raj. How was your weekend?

Raj – Hey, Anjali. My weekend was great. I watched a great movie.

Anjali – Oh really? What was the name of the movie you watched?

Raj – I watched Avengers Endgame. It is the last movie of the Avengers.

Anjali – Oh, I have watched Avengers Endgame too. I loved the movie.

Raj – Really? Who is your favourite Avenger?

Anjali – I can’t name one! Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch and Black
Widow, to name a few.

Raj – Wow, you have some of the strongest Avengers there! I have the same choice except that I loved
Spider Man too.

Anjali – My sister took me to see the movie as soon as it was released. Both me and my sister have been
great fans of Avengers since childhood.

Raj – Oh wow! I am myself a big fan of Avengers and have watched all the movies. I too wanted to go to
the theatre and watch the movie, but I was out of station for a family function.

Anjali – Oh I see. The movie stood up to all the expectations that the audience had after watching the
trailer. In fact, I would say the movie surpassed expectations.

Raj – Very true. There was no better way to finish the Avengers, I believe. The movie just took me
through a rollercoaster of emotions.

Anjali – True! Just when I was feeling happy that the Avengers got rid of Thanos for good, the next
moment I was bawling my eyes out seeing Iron Man had sacrificed himself to save the world and
everyone else.

Raj – We can’t ever see Black Widow, Iron Man and Captain America ever in any Marvel movies.

Anjali – Yes, very sad. Anyway it was nice talking to you. See you tomorrow in school. Bye.

Raj – Same here. Bye.
