- Hi!
- Nice to meet you.
- I’m going to English courses to improve my language. What do you think about it?
- Oh, I think it's not a good idea.
- I disagree with you, because every educated person should speak at least one foreign language.
- But it is very difficult to learn foreigh language. I have no free time for it.
- By the way, a lot of jobs require the knowledge of foreign languages.
- You can always find a job where they needn't any knowledge of foreign languages.
- Will you join me?
- Not now. Maybe a little later.
- See you later. Bye!
