Jane: My sister was here last week.

Bob: Really? I didn’t know that. Why didn’t you introduce me to her?

Jane: Sorry. We were so busy. We went to all the tourist sites and ate in a lot of nice restaurants.

Bob: Is your sister rich?

Jane: Well, she makes a lot of money. She is a film director.

Bob: She’s older than you, right?

Jane: Yes. She’s twenty-eight years old.

Bob: So is my brother. Maybe we should introduce them to each other.

Jane: I don’t know. It depends if your brother is good enough for my sister.

Training 1

Jane: “My elder sister is twenty-eight. She is a film director. She is quite successful, so she makes a lot of money. When she was here last week, we had a good time together. We went to all the tourist sites and ate in a lot of expensive restaurants. My friend Bob has an elder brother who is twenty-eight, too. When Bob heard that my sister was a successful film director, he wanted me to introduce my sister to his brother. I don’t think it is a good idea because my sister meets a lot of famous and successful people in her job. And Bob’s brother isn’t famous.”

Bob: “I have a brother. He is older than me and bigger. He is a very handsome young man. He is a successful businessman and makes a lot of money. However, he never tells his new girlfriends what he really does. He believes that some girls might be very nice to him only because he is rich. My brother is coming soon and Jane wants me to introduce him to her. I want Jane to introduce my brother to her elder sister. Her sister is a film director. Jane says that her sister is pretty, too.
