Listening. 5 .3. Read and listen to the conversation. Jill is talking to her aunt on the phone.
I want to talk to you about a problem, Molly. Can I come over to your house at around three
o 'clock?
I'm afraid I'm busy then. I'm going to have tea with some friends. Do you fancy joining
us?
I'm sorry, but I can't. I don't know them very well. I'm going to talk to you later.
Why don't you come and tell me your problem after they leave at five o 'clock?
I have another idea. Why don't we chat online? We can log on to the internet tonight and talk.
Do you have an account on a social networking site?
Do you mean an email account? I have one.
No, that's just for sending and receiving email messages. I mean an account on an internet
site, like Facebook. On those sites, people can chat with each other by writing messages.
I don't use any sites like that.
Why don't you create an account? Then you can chat with me when you get access to the site.
How do I do that? Can you tell me how to create an account?
Yes, it's very easy. You go to the home page of the site and enter your name and email address
on the form there. You also create a password and enter it. That's all. After that, the site
will send you an email. You must click on the link to confirm.
Oh, but it sounds very difficult. I mean, I can't do it. Why don't you come and talk to
me here? You can have dinner with me too.
That sounds great. I will be there at six o 'clock. See you in the evening.
