1. A: Uh-oh, I just spilled some tomato sauce on the rug.

B: What? You spilled tomato juice on the floor?

A: No. On the rug. Tomato sauce. Now there's a stain.

B: Oh, I have the best solution for that.

A: Really?

B: Just pour soda on it.

A: Soda? That sounds crazy!

B: I'm serious. Pour plain soda on it.

A: Don't you think plain water will work?

B: Trust me. Soda is the best thing. I've seen it work.

A: Okay. I'll try it.

2. A: I need your advice.

B: What's the matter?

A: Lisa invited me over for tea yesterday. When we finished, I was carrying this heavy teapot on a tray and I slipped ...

B: Oh, no! Did you spill tea on your clothes?

A: No. Worse. I dropped the tray, and Lisa's teapot broke into little pieces. It was her favorite teapot. and it looked expensive .

B: Well, if I were you, I would offer to buy her a new one.

A: You don't think an apology is enough?

B: No, you should at least offer to buy her a new one.

A: You're right. That's the best thing to do.

3. A: Oh, no. I've got a stain on my new shirt. What should I do?

B: Is it a food stain?

A: No, unfortunately, it's ink.

B: Ink? That's very tricky.

A: Should I just put some water on it?

B: Hmm.. -Let me look it up on the Internet. Here it is: For ink, use plain soda. It will lift the stain right out.

A: That doesn't sound right to me.

B: I'm sure this is right. Let's try it.

A: No way! I'm not going to do an experiment on my best shirt. I'm going to take it to the drycleaner.

4. A: Remember that jacket my aunt gave me for my birthday?

B: Sure. The one you lost at the theater?

A: No, the one I spilled coffee all over.

B: Oh, yeah ... It was ruined ...

A: Yes. Anyway, she's invited me to dinner. I'm afraid if I don't wear the jacket, her feelings will be hurt.

B: You should just buy a new one exactly like it.

A: Gee, I don't know ... That sounds expensive.

B: But you don't want to offend your aunt. do you?

A: No, but she's very understanding. I'll just show up without it. If she says anything, I'll tell her the truth. The truth is always the best!

5. A: Uh-oh.

B: What happened?

A: I can't find my wallet. Whenever I sit in a theater, things fall out of my pockets. Oh, wait a minute . .. there it is. But my keys are missing!

B: Oh, great! How will we get back into the house?

A: Well, we could go back to the theater and try to find them.

B: But the theater is closed. It's past midnight!

A: Well. I guess we'll have to call a locksmith.

B: Is there such a thing as a 24-hour locksmith?

A: I'm sure there is. I'll look one up on my phone.

6. A: Why are you stopping? Is there something wrong with the car?

B: No, the car is fine. but we're lost!

A: What should we do?

B: I don't know. I've got it. You wait here.

A: What are you doing?

B: I'm going to ask someone for directions.

A: But there's no one around here. It's completely deserted. In fact, it looks kind of dangerous.

B: Do you have a better idea?

A: Yes. Let's just call the restaurant and ask them how to get there.

B: That makes sense.
