Amanda: Hello? Mr Cook?

Mr Cook: Hello, girls. Come in. Welcome to Brighton School. Can I have your names, please?

Roberta: Yes, I’m Roberta Cortez. It’s C-O-R-T-E-Z.

Amanda: And my name’s Amanda Piers. It’s P-I-E-R-S.

Mr Cook: Can I have your IDs please? ... Thank you. What are your birthdates?

Amanda: The twelfth of April, two thousand and four.

Roberta: And mine is the twenty-second of June.

Mr Cook: The same year?

Roberta: Yes. What are our classes?

Mr Cook: Let me check on the computer. Roberta, you are in Class 3, and Amanda, you are in Class 5.

Amanda: Oh, that’s too bad. We’re not in the same class. I really want to be with Roberta.

Mr Cook: Well, now Class 3 is full, but Roberta can come to your class. Do you want to go to Class 5, Roberta?

Roberta: Oh yes. Please.

Mr Cook: OK. The problem is fixed now.

Amanda: Thanks so much, Mr Cook.

Mr Cook: You’re welcome. Have a good day!
