___Hey Anselmo, What's up?
** J.B., my bro! What are you doing here?
___I'm waiting a friend of mine. What about you?
**  I was just walking around to breath some air.
___I heard that you were fired because you slept too much.
** Don't believe that. It's not true.
___Are you sure?
**Yep! I heard that you were looking for a job but nobody wanted to employ you because you lack of experience.
___Who told you that? It's not true. Come to think of it...I've heard a lot about you...
** Oh really? Like what?
___I heard that your daughter prefers to be with your wife instead of being with you.
**  And I heard that you have only three seconds to go away before I kill you.

After finishing his last project report, J.B. is at Anselmo's . Now he is going to know what are his feelings about the foreigner teaching project. 


You've done a fantastic job J.B. !!!


AnselmoI've just been reading through your last project report about teaching Portuguese to foreigners
J.BI hope you didn't find too much wrong with it. I've been looking forward to knowing your oppinion.
AnselmoOn the contrary, you've done a fantastic job J.B.. As far as I know I don't think you could have done it better.
J.B.Well, I'm not sure about that...but if you say I am with you.
AnselmoYou're too modest. It's really well organized and written and offers some very well thought out conclusions.
J.B.Well, I'm glad you like it and hope it proves useful.




...........................................................
Everything went like clockwork !!!


Anselmo I've just popped in to thank you very much for organizing last weekend's trip to the seaside for the old folk.
J.B.That's very kind of you Anselmo. Thanks a lot! They all seemed to enjoy it.
Anselmo They certainly did. Everything went like clockwork, in fact I don't think you could have done it better.
J.B.I'm not sure about that, there were one or two things that could have been improved.
Anselmo In a perfect world perhaps, but as far as I'm concerned it was a great success. So thank you again.
