1- I've been looking forward to...


___Excuse me, Are you Mr. Ribeiro?
**  Yes. What can I help you?
___I'm J.B. , the English Teacher.
** Oh, yes! I've been looking forward to talking with you.
___So have I. Your wife has told me lot about you.
** All good. I hope.
__Yes. I heard that you speak English very well, Mr. Ribeiro.
**Don't believe it. It's not true. I just know some things.
__have you ever been abroad?
**Yes. I have. A couple of times.
__Were you there for work or on vacation?

2- I heard that


___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.
