3. IDIOM

Julie couldn’t get through to Bill all day and was very upset. She didn’t want to talk to her classmates and went home alone. Her mother was cooking an apple pie in the kitchen and was chatting with a friend of hers on the phone. When she hung up, she smiled at Julie and said, «A penny for your thoughts, honey. You look sad. What’s happened?» Julie didn’t say anything and just went upstairs to her room. She had no thoughts, nothing, but disappointment and bitter resentment.

4. TEXTS

? I CAN’T GET THROUGH

Jim (listening to long beeps in the receiver): – Hey, Tom, pick up

the phone! Where are you, goddamn it?!

Tom (cheerily): – Hello! Hello?.. Who’s calling?

Jim: – Tom, it’s me, Jim! Can you hear me?

Tom: – Who? Jane? Sorry, you are breaking up.

Jim: – No, not Jane! Tom, it’s me, Jim! I’ve been calling you for the whole morning. You aren’t picking up the phone. You mother said this was your number.

Tom: – Ah, Jimmy. It’s you! I’m in the shopping centre with Mary now. It’s crowded. Speak up, please!

Jim: – Hey, I couldn’t get through to

you yesterday. A girl picked up the phone, wrong number and I pissed her off

dialling ten times or so. She eventually cut me off and switched off

the phone.

Tom: – What number did you dial?

Jim: – It’s 8852476391. It’s in my diary. Is it wrong?

Tom: – Yes, it is. Mine is 8852176394. Mother mixed up

4 and 1.

Jim: – Lucky me, Julie had Mary’s number.

Tom: – Great! Sorry, hold on, please! Mary is calling me asking to have a look at her. She’s trying on a new dress. I’ll be back in a flash!

Jim: – Don’t hang up on me

! I’m waiting…

Tom: – OK, I’m back. Sorry to have kept you waiting. OK, what’s up?

Jim: – There is a problem with our holiday. I can’t get through to Jane. She had to phone around

to find a cheap hotel. I left a message on her answering machine, but she didn’t get back to

 me.

Tom: – Did you call her office?

Jim: – The operator in the office put me through to her, but I got cut off. Can you believe it? We are leaving early tomorrow morning and I don’t know whether she’s booked a hotel or not. The operator later said Jane had called in

to say she was taking a day off.

Tom: – OK, calm down

! Don’t worry, we’ll come up with

something. I have a friend in Luton. I’ll call him and ask to put us up

for a day until we find out

what’s going on. Keep in touch! See you and Julie tomorrow at the railway station! Don’t be late.
