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. !!! | |
| Anselmo | I've just been reading through your last project report about teaching Portuguese to foreigners |
| J.B | I hope you didn't find too much wrong with it. I've been looking forward to knowing your oppinion. |
| Anselmo | On 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. |
| Anselmo | You'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. |
