party! • Boy1: Yeah, well, I’m a little nervous. I

don’t know what to wear. • Girl1: If I were you, I’d wear a shirt and tie. • Boy1: And I don’t have a present. What if

everyone brings a present?

• Girl1: If I were you, I’d take a small present — a pen or something. Keep it in your pocket and if everyone has a present, you can give him yours. If not, you can keep it.

• Boy1: OK. But what if I don’t know anyone?

• Girl1: If you don’t know anyone, you can talk to Tom. He’ll introduce you to people.

• Boy1: I guess I can do that.
