| Gina: | It’s not warm, is it? | |
| Katie: | I know. I can’t believe how cold it is this morning! It’s absolutely freezing. | |
| Tim: | I’m afraid I have to disagree with you there. According to my digital thermometer it is three and a half degrees at present – so not freezing at all! | |
| Gina: | I can’t wait for spring this year. It’s been such a cold winter. | |
| Katie: | Oh, absolutely! | |
| Tim: | I’m sorry but I can’t agree with you there. These are perfectly normal temperatures for the time of year. In fact, this winter has been rather warmer than average. | |
| Gina: | The bus service seems to be getting worse these days. | |
| Katie: | I couldn’t agree more! I’m late for work nearly every morning at the moment! It’s just a joke! | |
| Tim: | I agree to a point. I think it’s fair to say the bus service is less than ideal. However, by my calculations, the average time between buses is in fact less than a year ago – down from thirteen minutes to eleven and a half. | |
| Katie: | Do you know what? I think I’ll walk. The exercise might warm me up. | |
| Gina: | Do you mind if I join you? |
