Situation 1 In the Morning
It is Friday morning. Kevin's dad comes into his room, but Kevin is already awake and getting dresses.
Dad: Kevin, you are up early. Is there a reason?
Kevin: Yeah, dad, my band has practice this morning before school.
Dad: Really? But why so early?
Kevin: We are playing at the school dance party tonight, so we have to practise this morning.
Dad: That sounds fun. What time is the party?
Kevin: It starts after the football game at about eight o'clock.
Dad: Yes, but what time does the party end?
Kevin: I don't know, dad, about midnight.
Dad: And what time will you be home?
Kevin: About one o'clock.
Dad: One o'clock?! That's pretty late.
Kevin: I know, dad, but I have to drive my girlfriend Karen home. And dad, I'm seventeen years old; I'm not a baby anymore.
Dad: I know that, but I still worry about you driving your car late at night.
Kevin: But dad, I promise to be careful. And you know I don't drink alcohol.
Dad: That's true. But there are other drivers who drink and they are dangerous.
Kevin: Okay, Dad. I promise to be home by twelve‐thirty. And I promise to drive safely.
Dad: All right then, see you at twelve‐thirty tonight. Have fun and be careful.
Kevin: Thanks, Dad. I will.
