Dialogue A
John:(To Lusy) May I have the first dance?
Lusy:With pleasure!
J:(They are talking while dancing. )I know that you are a good dancer. What dances do you like?
L:I like the old styles of dance, such as fox-trot, waltz, rumba,tango and so on. They're all so graceful.
J: Why do you like the old styles of dance?
L:Why not?Is it strange?Do you think I should like modern dances?
J:I think so,because most young people like modern dances,such as rock and roll, the twist, and especially the break dance.
L:Oh,sorry,I don't rumba. Susan can do it well. Why no task her?
J: Yes,I will. Thank you.
L:You are welcome.
J:I admire your gracefulness.
L:That's very kind of you to say so.
(The music stops. )
J:Thanks. I'll go ask her. (He leaves to find Susan. )
L:(Smiles. )Enjoy yourself!

A:Susan,may I dance with you?
