A. How thoughtless of you, the evening was cold and windy. Now you’ll have to stay in. Here’s the thermometer, take your temperature.

- Ні, не слід ходити до неї. Я їй учора дзвонила. У неї грип. Він дуже небезпечний. Ти можеш заразитися.

- А з ким ти розмовляла по телефону?

- З мамою Ніни.

- Що вона сказала?

- Ну, це добре. Сподіваюся, вона скоро одужає.
