Coming for tea

It's Friday afternoon and John's friend Mark is coming for tea tomorrow.

Mrs S: John, is Mark coming for tea tomorrow?

John: Yes mum, I told you yesterday!

Mrs S: Oh did you? Sorry, I must have forgotten.

John: What are we having?

Mrs S: I don't know yet, I was just writing out the shopping list. What sort of things does he like?

John: Anything, just about. I know he hates pasta though, he never eats school dinner if it's pasta.

Mrs S: OK, what about pizza.

John: Yeah, pizza would be great, not too much salad though please mum.

Mrs S: How about a fruit salad for pudding instead?

John: With ice cream?

Mrs S: Yes, ok.

John: Great, I can't wait!

Entertaining at Home - It's Saturday and John's friend Mark has just arrived.

John: Hi Mark!

Mark Hi John, how's it going?

John: Fine, and you?

Mark Oh you know.

John: Yeah, tell me about it.

Mrs S: Hello Mark, how are you.

Mark: Very well thank you Mrs Smith.

John Mum, can we go and play in my room?

Mrs S: Yes, after tea. We're having pizza tonight Mark, is that alright?

Mark: Yes Mrs Smith that should be fine, but I am a vegetarian.

Mrs S: Oh John, you didn't tell me!

John Sorry mum, I didn't know.

Mrs S: Well it's just as well I bought mushroom pizza as well then, isn't it?

Mark: I'm sorry if it's any trouble Mrs Smith.

Mrs S: Don't worry Mark, it's not your fault, we can eat the salami pizza and you can have the mushroom one. Why don't you both go and play upstairs, tea will be a little bit longer than expected!

John: This way Mark.
