Dialogue 5 :
Brian:The opponent plays well! Their fast offender is very dangerous. He aims very precisely and shoots very hard.
Linda:Our team is not bad either. Our goalkeeper keeps the ball very safe.
Brian:Exactly, you know this game very well! Would you like to have a delicious hot dog?
Linda:Yes, together with a cold beer. That would be fantastic.
Brian:I will bring you a beer.
Linda:Hurry up, because our good sweeper hurt himself.
Brian:Here is your beer. It is actually warm.
Linda:And the hot dog is cold. Hahaha. It looks good though, and…. hmmmm…. tastes very good too! A wonderful goal has been scored. Unfortunately for the opposing team.
Brian:Oh, I don’t know if we have a chance. The opponent plays very hard and fast. It is getting very difficult.
Linda:It does not seem to be easy, because our best defender seriously hurt himself.
Brian:But our team must win, otherwise they cannot play in the World Cup. We cannot give the opponent so many chances.
Linda:The coach should bring in a new player. Our midfield players cannot run anymore.
Brian:You might be quite right. He is still allowed to exchange another player in. I
would bring in a younger player!
Linda:May I have another sip of beer?
Brian:Of course… Oh, no! That can’t be! 0:2! I think we should go!
Linda:Yes… me too. I should not stay out so late tonight. I have to watch out for my little sister!
Brian:But we can still go out on another date again, right?! Let us go to the cinema tomorrow!
Linda:That would be nice! I do not want to miss “Love me, if you can”! Bye!
