Conversation 10.

June : Steve, what on earth is that smell?
Steve : It smells as if some things, burning.
June : Perhaps there’s been a fire.
: Tom! What’s happened? You’ve burnt something, haven’t you?
Tom : Calm down, mum. I only burnt the sausages.
June : Well, it smells terrible in here. I think we ought to open all the windows.
: What happened to this tea towel? Look, it’s complete burnt.
Jamie : Tom used it to put the flames out.
June : Well, could you put it in the bin, please? It smells horrible!
: Tom, I’ve told you before. You should never leave something
under a hot grill.
Nicola : We’re really sorry, Mrs. Penhale.
Louise : We simply forgot about the sausages.
Nicola : How much was the tea towel? We must buy you a new one.
June : It’s all right. You don’t have to, but Tom does!
