Emily
Here’s your room.
Teresa
It’s really nice, Emily. And what’s this?
Can you play the saxophone?
Emily
Yes, I can. … How’s that?
Teresa
Fantastic! I can’t play an instrument, but
I can sing. What other instruments can
you play?
Emily
I can play the guitar and the piano – but
not at the same time as the sax!
Teresa
Great – we can have a two-girl band. We
can sing in lots of languages – English,
Spanish, German …
Emily
Oh dear, I can speak French and a little
Italian, but I can’t speak Spanish or
German.
Teresa
Never mind! I can sing in Spanish and
you can sing in English.
Emily
OK. Now can I help you with anything?
Any questions?
