1. A: Mr. Grant is really funny, isn’t he? He loves telling jokes. And he’s so easygoing. B: I know. Then there’s Mrs. Grant. She never seems to smile. I wonder why she’s so serious all the time. 2. A: Where are Bobby and his brother today? B: I think they’ve skipped class again. A: Really? They’re always doing that. B: Yeah. They aren’t serious about studying, that’s for sure. All they like to do is sit at home and play computer games. 3. A: What are your new neighbors like? B: Mr. and Mrs. Roberts? Well, they seem nice. I’ve spoken to Mrs. Roberts several times. She’s very easy to talk to. But I haven’t spoken much to her husband. He’s kind of shy and not very talkative. 4. A: Have you met Wendy’s new boyfriend? B: Yeah, I like him. A: Me, too. I think he’s perfect for Wendy. B: He sure is. They’re so sociable. They both love partying and they’re both a little crazy at times. A: That’s for sure. 5. A: How do you like the new teachers? B: Well, Mr. Williams is very easygoing, and he’s really smart, too. A: Yeah, I know. And what about Miss Vaughn? B: She’s not as easy to get to know. She’s not as easygoing as Mr. Williams. She seems very serious. A: Yeah. I think so, too. 6. A: What’s your brother’s wife like? B: She’s just like my brother—serious and hardworking. She’s at the office every night until around 9:00. And so is he. A: They sound like the perfect couple.

1. A: Hey, Anne, there’s a guy in my Spanish class who’s really cool. He’s really friendly and easy to talk to. He just always seems happy. B: Oh, really? He must have a lot of friends. A: Yes, I think he does. He tells really funny jokes all the time, too. I’m always laughing in class. B: Man! He sounds great! A: Well, he is, but he forgets his book every day. Then he asks to share mine. I hate that! B: Sounds like we have a lot in common. I always forget my book, too. I’d love to meet him. Why don’t you introduce us some time? 2. A: There’s this new girl in class named Rosie. She always looks like she’s in a bad mood. I don’t know if she’s just very shy or what. B: Really? A: Yeah, when someone tells a really funny joke, we all laugh, but she doesn’t seem to think it’s funny. B: No way! A: But she is very good at music. She always practices the piano after school. B: That’s nice. But I don’t think I could get along with her, because laughing and having fun are important to me. 3. A: There’s this guy who sits in front of me on the bus sometimes. He never talks to anyone. He just sits there and talks to himself. It’s kind of weird. B: Oh, man! Really? A: Yeah. He likes to make people laugh, though. He’s always making funny faces and
