OLIVER

Oliver: Hey, Alfie, what are you doing?

Alfie: I’m studying for tomorrow’s exam. You?

Oliver: Yeah, me too. Well... I’m just uploading some photos to Facebook and I’m sending a message to Billie... oh, and I’m downloading the new Arcade Fire album... oh yeah, and I’m having a cup of coffee, too. It’s tiring all this studying! Oh, and at eight, I’m meeting Lucas, just for a quick coffee. It’s important to take regular breaks, you know!

Alfie: You’re not really studying at all, are you? Come on, mate, if you don’t pass the exam, you’ll have to take it again after the holidays.

Oliver: You sound like my mum, Alfie! Talk of the devil. She’s calling me. I’ll phone you later, OK?

Alfie: Sure.

 

Oliver: Hi, Mum.

Sophie: Hello, love, what are you doing?

Oliver: I’m studying, Mum. I’ve got a big exam tomorrow. What about you?

Sophie: Oh Ollie, I just had to phone you. I’m riding a camel at the pyramids!

Oliver: Cool.

Sophie: I’m with a tour group. We’re having a great time! We’re all riding camels and the sun’s shining. Oh, it’s fantastic, Ollie!

Oliver: Lucky you!

Sophie: So, are you working hard for the exam?

Oliver: I’m trying to, Mum!

Sophie: What’s Daisy doing now? Is she at home?

Oliver: No, she’s at tennis practice.

Sophie: Of course she is. OK, I’ve got to go. They’re waiting for me to get off the phone! Bye, love.

Oliver: Bye, Mum.
