[speaker001:] When you are in a restaurant you want the waiter to bring the bill, what do you do to attract his attention?
[speaker002:] I just make eye contact with him and nod my head. Then I tell him when he comes over to the table. Why do you ask?
[speaker001:] I went out with my girlfriend to a nice restaurant last night and I noticed that many people shouted for the bill.
[speaker002:] That seems a little impolite in such a restaurant.
[speaker001:] That 's what I thought. I just thought I 'd ask you and see what you thought of it. Anyway, what did you do yesterday evening?
[speaker002:] Well, it was a warm evening, so I stretched my legs. I walked along the canal for a couple of miles. Actually, several other people had the same idea. I saw Bill.
[speaker001:] Did you? How is he these days?
[speaker002:] He seemed ok. We didn 't stop and chat because we were on opposite banks of the canal. We just waved at each other.
[speaker001:] I need to move some furniture. Could you help me to lift it?
[speaker002:] Of course. What do you want to move first?
[speaker001:] Let 's move the sofa. Can you get a grip on the bottom at that end? I 'll lift this end. I want to move it sideways in that direction.
