Phil: Oh, hi. I ’m Phil. Pleased to meet you. Would you like to come in?
John: Oh, no thanks. I’m on my wav to a lecture. I just wondered if I could have a quick word.
Phil: Sure, go ahead.
John: Well, it’s just that your loud music has been keeping my housemates and me awake every night since you moved in. There’s a lot of shouting going on too.
Phil: Oh... yes, I suppose we've been a bit noisy.
John: Yes, I understand, but we’re sitting exams in two weeks’ time and need a good night’s sleep.
Phil: Oh dear, I’m sorry. I’ll make sure that we keep it down.
John: Thanks so much, Phil, I appreciate that.
Phil: You’re welcome! Oh, by the way, we’re having a party this Saturday! You and your housemates are all invited!
John: Oh, errr... well, OK then, it’s the weekend I suppose!
