a. Lee: Are you going to the fundraising concert later?

b. May: Why didn’t you let me know? I wouldn’t have left the homework so late if I’d known you were going.

c. May: No, but I would have bought a ticket if I didn’t have so much homework.

d. Lee: Well, I might have called you if you would answer your phone sometimes, but you’re always studying!

e. Lee: That’s a shame. I saw Leo last night and he had two spare ones. If you’d finished your homework, you could go with me now.

Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?

The chances are that it’s the images that attract your attention.

Hi Holly,

Today I have to stay at home and help my family clean the house.

a. I can’t stand it! Also, mum doesn’t make it any easier. She constantly complains that I do a terrible job at it.

b. My mum assigned me the tasks of dusting the furniture, vacuuming the floor, and washing clothes.

c. I dread doing it, but my mum says it is necessary. I guess I’m fortunate because we only do it twice a month.

d. My sister takes the dog for a walk and does the ironing. I wish I could do that instead of washing the clothes.

e. I don’t mind vacuuming the floor; in fact, I kind of like it. But washing clothes is a whole other story.

Oh well, you can’t always get what you want. Do you have any chores you have to do?

Bye for now,

Nam

c. Mark: We’re having a special lunch at school next week to welcome the new international students.
