Wayne: Hi, Amy. How did your concert go? Sorry, I couldn’t be there this time.

Amy: It was great! I didn’t make any mistakes. Finally, I had a perfect performance!

Wayne: Congratulations! By the way, I heard something from Mom. Is it true that Ms. Stravinsky got some kind of award?

Amy: Yes, she got the Outstanding Teacher Award from the city.

Wayne: That’s great. She is definitely the best piano teacher I know.

Amy: I agree. She really deserves that award.

Burt: Oh, you do?

Ms. Jetz: Yes. I went to that concert in Japan last year too!

Burt: You did?

Ms. Jetz: Yes. My name’s Bennie. Nice to meet you.

Burt: Nice to meet you, too. I’m Burt. So, Bennie, this is my friend Alice.

Ms. Jetz: Hi there. You two must be serious fans.

Burt: Well, I like the bass player, but he’s not playing tonight.

Ms. Jetz: Derek Simmons, right? Yeah. They have a different guy this time.

David: My name’s David. It’s a pleasure to meet you in person.

Taeko: Likewise. I didn’t know how tall you were.

David: Right, since we only see our faces in online meetings. Anyway, did you enjoy your lunch?

Taeko: Yes, we had Thai food. It was delicious.

David: I love Thai food too. Please come this way. The meeting room is in the next building.

Taeko: Thank you. Your offices are huge.

David: Yes, we’re constantly expanding.

Shiho: I’ve read all your books, Professor. Your writing is amazing.

Peacock: I’m not sure about that. But thanks.
