Conversation Practice • A: Hey Betty, what are you looking at? • B: The Astology, what's your sign? • A: Me? My sun sign is Virgo. What does it say about me? • B: Let me check. Umm, "don't be uptight, relax and you will have a fun day." • A: No kidding, I am dating with a girl later and I am extremely tense now. And think of my last experience... • B: What happened? • A: That girl stood me up. • B: Poor Alan, trust me, just take a deep breath and ease up. • A: That's really nice of you. • B: I know how to read Tarot cards, would you want me to do check on your fortunes? • A: Well, better not. Tarot freaks me out. • B: How? I think it interesting. • A: I just don't feel comfortable about it. Maybe it's because it's very mysterious. • B: Ok. How about the Chinese Astrology? • A: Sure, you can also check my Chinese Astrology, Monkey is my animal symbol. • B: Oh, it's your day today, just go and enjoy your date. • A: Really, thanks, Master Astrology.
