People & real conversations: Daniel's story continues
Daniel has met a few people at the cafe, and he spends time with them after class. At first, he only smiled and nodded. Now he can ask better follow-up questions, even when the conversation moves quickly.
He still gets nervous, but he keeps talking. One friend says, 'You sound more natural than before,' and Daniel laughs because he can feel the difference too. He has already picked up small phrases, but he has not mastered everything yet.
The best part is not that he speaks perfectly. The best part is that he stays in the conversation longer than he used to.
Tell a short conversation memory about someone you have met recently. Use present perfect, already/still/yet, one phrasal verb, one comparison, one linking word, and one can/might/should sentence.
