| Write 2-3 short dialogues using discourse markers from the unit, and be ready to present them in class. Ask another student to help you with the oral presentation. Use props in your performance, if possible.

B: Well, I can't believe in it. Mind you, it's October outside!
D: Have you been in this museum before?

A: Listen, why don’t you come to the party with me?
B: Well, in fact, I will not be able to, because I will be busy that evening.
A: Fine, then I’ll go alone.
B: OK, then I’ll see you next week.

A: What are your plans for next Saturday?
B: Let me see, I’m free in the afternoon.
A: Great, how about you join me for a cup of coffee?
B: Good!
A: So, we’ll write off then about time and place on Friday evening.

YOU SEE, I’m not in an emotional resource right now to go to noisy parties. I MEAN, it will be more pleasant and calmer for me to meet someone alone. LET ME SEE, I’m free for the weekend, how about we meet at our beloved coffee shop?

A: Hi, Jenny! How about we go to the cinema on the weekend and watch the new film "The Devil Wears Prada 2"?
B: That's a great idea! It's been 20 years since the first part came out. Look, is it about the same characters as before?
A: Yeah, the main characters are the same. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt are back.
B: Awesome!
2.
A: There are so many people on the subway.
B: Yeah.
A: Mind you, it`s monday morning and everybody is going to work.

| M: Stacy, are you sure you want to do this?
S: Yes!
M: Cause I'm not sure, that's quite save, YOU KNOW, it's SORT OF...dangerous
S: ANYWAY I'll do it!
M: LOOK, nobody will blame you if you...
S: I've made a decision! I took you with me, cause I expected you cheer me up, but you're just like my mum.
(A man who pushes people off a bungee jump): Ok, ma'am, are you ready? On three. One. Two. Three.
S: HOLD ON! I'm not ready! ( She's already flying over the abyss)
M: YOU SEE, I've told her.
S: And we just mix this with that?
M: RIGHT.
S: And then heat it up? And we cool it and that's it?
M: MIND YOU, you need to be very careful!
S: WELL, it's all on you.
M: What do you mean?
S: I'm a great watcher and you - a great laboratory-doer!
M: FINE. STILL, it's better to work in pairs, even if you work alone.

– Oh, no! We missed the train!
– LOOK, why don't we take the bus?
– Are there any buses that are suitable for us?
– LET ME SEE, I have a route map. Yes! Here, the bus number 23. It goes in the direction we need. There's a bus stop over there. Let's go!
2.
– Have you heard the news about our neighbour?
– That he is moving out? I've already heard it a million times this week.
– HOLD ON! That's not all. He sells his flat and moves out with Jeffrey...
– Who is Jeffrey?
– A friend of him. SO, WHERE WAS I? He sells his flat to buy a motorhome.
– A motorhome?
– Yes, YOU KNOW, SORT OF caravan. And they are going on a trip around the world! Isn't it gorgeous?
– WELL, I'm a bit sceptical about such ideas, to be honest.
– Why?
– WELL, YOU SEE, there are many things which seem doubtful to me. First of all, A) it is dangerous, and B) it is expensive and impractical.
– You are so boring!
– MIND YOU, I'm already quite old.

| A: Are we going to the university library now?
B: Well, I need to return this book first.
A: Right. By the way, did you finish the assignment for tomorrow?
B: As a matter of fact, I did it last night.
A: Oh, excellent! Still, we need to find a quiet place to study for the history test.
B: Good point. Anyway, let's start moving because it is getting late.
A: Look, I really don't want to go to this party tonight.
B: Why? You see, everyone from our group will be there.
A: I know, but I am sort of tired after the long lectures.
B: Mind you, the exams start next week, so this is our last chance to relax.
A: So, did you buy the tickets for the weekend train?
B: Hold on! I completely forgot about the time!
A: You're joking! You know, the good seats disappear very fast on Fridays.
B: Well, let me check the app on my smartphone immediately.
A: In any case, we can go by bus if the train is full.

A: RIGHT, so where should we go this weekend? The beach or the mountains?
J: WELL, I’d love the beach, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, it might be too crowded. YOU KNOW, kind of a nightmare with summer traffic.
A: LET ME SEE… what about that lake we went to last year? QUIET, and we can rent kayaks.
J: OK, but the cabin rentals are expensive. I MEAN, we’re on a tight budget.
A: LISTEN, my cousin has a small campsite there. FREE. GOOD?
J:FINE! I’ll bring the marshmallows. ANYWAY, what time do we leave?
2.
T: NOW THEN, where’s your essay, Maria?
M: OH… WELL, you see, my laptop crashed yesterday. SORT OF lost everything.
T: MIND YOU, you’ve had two weeks to write it. STILL, I can give you one extra day.
M: GREAT! I mean, I’ll email it tomorrow morning. THANK you.
T: SO WHERE WAS I? Right, the rest of the class… open your books to page 49.

B: Well then, what shall we do first?
A: Let me see... I think we should start with the slides.
B: Hang on! What about the history of the picture? We haven't analysed it yet.
A: Oh, right. Anyway, let's just split the work.
B: Fine. I'll do the introduction.
A: Listen, just keep it simple, okay?
B: Deal.
A: So, what shall we do this weekend?
B: Well, I’m a bit busy on Saturday.
A: Mind you, Sunday is free for me.
B: Great, let’s go to the park on Sunday, then.
A: Now then, I hope you didn’t forget to bring the tickets for the concert.
B: Hang on! What concert?
A: Listen, I told you yesterday – the jazz concert. You see, I’ve already bought the tickets.
