Need Correction: Susan on the phone.

Hi Teachers,

Could you correct the story please?


Narrator:

It is eleven o’clock. Susan is talking to her boyfriend Tom. She is in London and he is in Paris.

Susan:

What’s the weather like in Paris? Is it raining?

Tom:

No, it isn’t. The weather is fine.

Narrator:

Frank and his wife are getting ready for bed. He can hear Susan downstairs.

Frank:

Is she still talking to Tom?

His wife:

Yes, she is.

Frank:

About one hour and a half talking!

His wife:

Come on Frank, be a good boy and sleep.


Thanks in advance

It's good, the only things I'd change are the last two lines. Frank: They've been talking for an hour and a half! Frank's wife: Come on Frank, be a good boy and GO TO sleep.

  • It's good, the only things I'd change are the last two lines.
  • Frank: They've been talking for an hour and a half!
  • Frank's wife: Come on Frank, be a good boy and GO TO sleep.
  • Also, Tom's reply regarding the weather would probably be more like "No, it's fine [here]".
  • No need to repeat "the weather" in his reply.
