Giving Advice

Adam wants to buy a gift for his teacher, but he doesn’t know what to buy. He asks Bill for some advice…


Adam: Hi Bill! Have you got a couple of minutes to talk?


Bill: Sure, Adam. What’s the matter?


Adam: I need some advice… I have no idea what to buy my teacher, Mr. Richards, for his leaving present.


Bill: Mm…does he have any interests or hobbies that you know about?


Adam: I don’t know him very well, but he always tells stories about fishing and cooking.


Bill: Maybe some new fishing equipment?


Adam: Maybe…but that’s very expensive…


Bill: You’re right… What about a new cookbook? That would be a thoughtful present.


Adam: That’s a really good idea – that’s what I’ll buy him. Thanks for your advice Bill!


Bill: No problem at all…
