CONVERSATION


Pete: What? What's the matter? 

Debbie: I've forgotten to get a projector. I promised to show some photos of my fashion project to Lily and some of her friends at Sunny Bank this afternoon. I've got them on this memory stick but I need a projector. I was going to borrow one from our neighbour. 

Pete: What about a computer? 

Debbie: A computer screen's too small for them to see properly. Oh, I'm so stupid. 

Joel: I'll get you a projector. 

Debbie: How? I need it now. 

Joel: Meet me in the entrance hall in... five minutes. 


Joel: Here. I need to get it back to the I.T room before school finishes. How long will you be? 

Debbie: About an hour? 

Joel: That's cool.

Debbie: Joel, does anyone know that I've got this? 

Joel: I do. 

Debbie: OK. Thanks. 


Debbie : There, that's the last one. 

Lily: Thank you Debbie. That was wonderful. You certainly do know a lot about fashion! Well done. 


Debbie: Jess! Jess, hi. Listen I'm late for my class. Are you with Joel next lesson? 

Jess: Yes. 

Debbie: Can you give him this? 

Jess: Yeah, sure, no problem. 

Debbie: Cool, thanks. See you later. 

Jass: Joel, Debbie asked me to give... 

Joel: The main part's OK, but the lamp's broken. 

Debbie: Phew! So we just need to get a new bulb. 

Joel: Do you know how much they cost? Around two hundred pounds. 

Jass: I don't believe it! 

Joel: It's true. Projector lamps are really expensive. 

Jass: I am so sorry, guys. This is all my fault. 

Debbie: No you were just trying to help, Jess. It was an accident. Listen, let's just put it back quickly. 

Joel: And not tell anyone? No. We mustn't do that. 

Debbie: Why not, Joel? No one will know who did it. The school will just buy another lamp. 

Joel: No, this is my responsibility and I don't want anyone else to get into trouble for it. I'm going to tell Miss Bradley. 


Miss Bradley. : Joel has told me about the projector. I just want to tell you all that I'm very pleased with him. He didn't have to tell anyone that he took it without permission. But he did the right thing. 

Debbie : It was my fault too, Miss. 

Miss Bradley.: No. Joel decided to take it, not you, Debbie. And Jess dropped it by accident. You were just trying to help each other out. So let's just forget about it, OK?

All: Thanks, Miss. Thank you.

Miss Bradley. : Right, off you go. I've got to write a report about how the projector needs a new lamp!


In this situation, Joel offers help to Debbie, He can use this expression “Let me help you to get a projector” Debbie might say “Of course, It really important to me” or “You’re very kind”

Possible expressions of offering help based on the context of the conversation above:


"I'll get you a projector."

"Can I help you find a projector?"

"Would you like me to borrow a projector for you?"

"I can lend you my projector for the presentation."

"Let me know if you need any assistance with getting a projector."

"If you need a projector, I can try to arrange one for you."

"I can help you set up the projector for the presentation."

"Need help finding a place to rent a projector?"

"I'm available to assist you in getting the projector on short notice."

"If you're in a hurry, I can quickly look for a projector for you."


From the conversation above, several moral values can be inferred:


Responsibility: Joel demonstrated responsibility by owning up to his actions and admitting that he took the projector without permission. He took responsibility for the broken lamp and was willing to face the consequences of his actions.


Honesty: Joel's honesty in confessing to Miss Bradley about the broken lamp is commendable. Honesty is a valuable trait that promotes trust and integrity in relationships.


Cooperation and Friendship: Throughout the conversation, the characters showed cooperation and friendship by helping each other out. Debbie and Joel tried to find a solution together when Debbie needed a projector, and Jess was willing to deliver a message for Debbie.


Forgiveness and Understanding: Miss Bradley showed forgiveness and understanding by recognizing that it was an accident and not holding Debbie or Jess responsible for the broken lamp. She encouraged them to move on from the incident and not dwell on the mistakes.


Personal Integrity: Joel's decision to do the right thing despite the potential consequences showcased personal integrity. He didn't want to involve others in his mistake and took it upon himself to resolve the situation.


Empathy and Support: When Jess apologized for the incident, Debbie and the others showed empathy and support, reassuring Jess that it was an accident and not her fault.


Learning from Mistakes: The characters in the conversation acknowledged their mistakes and tried to find ways to fix them. This reflects the importance of learning from one's errors and using them as opportunities for growth and improvement.


Teachers as Role Models: Miss Bradley's reaction to Joel's honesty and her appreciation of his integrity demonstrates how teachers can be positive role models for students by valuing and encouraging ethical behavior.


Overall, the conversation highlights the significance of taking responsibility for one's actions, being honest, and supporting one another in times of difficulty. It also emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, understanding, and learning from mistakes in building positive and healthy relationships.



In daily conversation you will face situations where someone offers you some help, or food, or invite you to visit their house or to go to some events like a concert or movie. When someone offers you assistance and you need or want to accept, remember to thank them. If their assistance makes them sacrifice a significant amount of time, energy and other resources, ask them if you can return the favor. This is a polite way to return somebody’s good effort for you.
Read the following illustration to make it clearer.

       Take for an example, a situation when you are ill and your friend offers to take you to the doctor. This friend arranges a transportation for you, accompany you in consulting with the doctor, get you the medicine and take you home. What your friend did to you, of course consumed her/ his time, cost and energy. In return, you can offer to accompany her/ him when she/ he needs you. If the assistance makes someone have to pay some money, compensate him or her. For example, if you accept a ride from a friend, offer him or her to spare the gas cost.

How to say it?
       There are various expressions that you can use to accept an offer. When talking to older people or to strangers, you will need to use formal sentences. However, when speaking to close friends you can use more casual way.
Here are examples of how to accept an offer formally:
Thank you for your offer. I would be delighted to.
Thank you. I would love to.
Yes, thank you. That would be great/ wonderful.
Do you know? Sometimes contractions make formal phrases sounds more casual but still polite:
Thanks for your offer. I’d be delighted to.
Thanks. I’d love to.
Yes, thanks. That’d be great/ wonderful.
Let's think!
Read and study these following situations.
Situation 1: a conversation between a taxi driver and a client
Driver: Shall I carry your suitcase?
Ms. Anna: Yes please. That would be very kind of you.
Situation 2 : a conversation between colleagues
Mr. Dean: Would you like me to print the report?
Mr. Hans: If you wouldn't mind. Or If you could.
Situation 3 : a conversation between friends
Hanna : Good morning, Ajeng. Coffee?
Ajeng : Oh, great! I’d love one.
       When someone offers you assistance and you do not need or want it, decline politely and be firm when necessary. In western culture, it is not offensive to politely decline offered assistance. Just say to them that you “get it” or you “want to try it on your own.” If someone offers you food and you do not want it, you can just say “No, but thanks for offering.”
Here are some examples on declining an offer:
No thank you.
No, but thanks for offering.
The following examples are for specific situations:
Declining assistance
It's OK, I can do it.
Don't worry, I'll do it.
Declining foods
I'm really full. Thanks anyway.
Looks delicious, but I'll have to pass.
Here are some more examples:
Situation 1: a conversation between a waiter and a consumer in a restaurant
Waiter : Would you like another piece of cake?
Mr. Brown : Yes please, that would be nice.
Situation 2: a conversation between friends
Mia : Do you want some strawberries?
Tanya : I am good. Thanks.
       When someone says, “I am good.” It means that she or he does not need an offer. Accepting and declining offers politely may depend on what you are asked.
