NARRATOR：

Listen to a conversation between two students.

MALE STUDENT：

Hey, Julie, what's up?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Oh, hi George.

I'm just waiting for my friend Amy.

We're supposed to drive into town together to see a film at one of the movie theaters there.

MALE STUDENT：

Sounds great.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah, our professor for film class wants us to go see it.

It's a film by one of the directors we're studying, and we'll be discussing the film next week in class.

MALE STUDENT：

Cool.

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah, but I'm the one with the car, and we were supposed to leave like fifteen minutes ago...

and Amy hasn't shown up.

She's really late.

If we don't leave in like the next few minutes, we're going to miss the beginning of the movie.

MALE STUDENT：

Have you tried calling her?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yeah, I've called her several times and left voice mails-and she hasn't responded to any of my messages.

So, anyway, I don't know what I should do.

MALE STUDENT：

Well, I know Amy's your friend and everything,

but if you need to see the film,

and you've already been waiting fifteen minutes for her,

I mean, maybe you should just go by yourself.

FEMALE STUDENT：

You mean, just leave now without her?

Yeah, I guess she could see it another time.

They are showing the film again tomorrow-so Amy could still go see it then.

But I'll be busy tomorrow. So I need to go today.

MALE STUDENT：

Yeah, so maybe you could just leave Amy a voice mail saying that you had to leave without her.

FEMALE STUDENT：

That's true.

But, I don't know, maybe I should just wait ten more minutes and go late to the film.

She might be on her way over here right now-

she did mention that she had a lot of other things to do first before she met me.

And besides,

Amy's often late for stuff.

MALE STUDENT：

But if you wait another ten minutes for her, you'll miss the beginning of the movie,

right?

FEMALE STUDENT：

Yep.
