对话文本
R: who are you writing a letter to?
J: I'm just responding to Sue's letter. Do you want to help?
R: OK. I guess I could add something. Tell them that I send my love.
J: that's kind of boring. Don't you want to tell them anything else?
R: well, maybe you could tell them about my promotion.
J: you've been promoted? when did that happen?
R: just today. I guess I forgot to mention it.
J: congratulations! That's really exciting! Let's get out a bottle of wine to celebrate!
R: shouldn't we finish writing this letter first?
J: ah. That can wait. Your promotion is the best news I've heard in a long time!
R: it is good news, but it looked like you were almost finished. We might as well just sign off.
J: ok, you're right. I'll just tell them how pround I am of you for getting a promotion...and then I'll thank Sue for her kind letter.
R: I guess you can write that I'm looking forward to seeing them in June.
J: that's thoughtful of you.
R: and also thank them from the botttom of my heart for the Christmas package they sent us.
J: that's right! I almost forgot about that.
R: what would you do without me?
J: we do balance each other out well. I guess we were really made for each other!
