Exercise VII. Read the, dialogue and act it out. 

What Time Does the Plane Leave? 

Rоbert: What's the time? 

Emily: Ten past two, dear. 

Robert: When does the plane leave? 

Emily: Not until a quarter to four. 

Robert: Why did we get here so early? 

Emily: Because you said we must allow plenty of time for traffic jams and accidents. 

Robert: Where's my briefcase? What have you done with my briefcase? 

Emily: It's there, dear, between your feet. 

---

Robert: Emily! Where are you going? 

Emily:  I'm  going  to  ask  that  gentleman  what  they  were  announcing  over  the 

loudspeaker. 

Robert: Which gentleman? 

Emily: That man over there with all the packages. 

Robert: Who is he? 

Emily:  I don't  know. But  he looked as  though he was  listening to  the announcement... 

Yes, I was afraid so. The plane's delayed. It won't be leaving till five. 

Robert: How did he manage to hear it if we didn't? 

Emily: Because he was listening. You were talking too much to me. 

Robert: What do you mean, I was talking too much? 

Emily: Oh dear. Never mind. 

Robert: What time is it now, Emily?
