(Bob, Paul, and
Marie help Cheryl plan a party for a client.)
Mr.
Evans: Thank you, everyone, for fixing my mistake with Mr. Wells. Now, I’ve
asked Cheryl to plan a party for his group next Friday. I’d like for everyone
to help. Cheryl, do you have a plan?
Cheryl:
Yes, I do. Marie, I’d like to have
you choose a restaurant for the
party.
Marie:
I’d love to!
Cheryl:
Bob, I’ll let you choose the menu.
Bob:
You will?
Cheryl:
Paul, could you plan the music?
Paul:
Yes!
Cheryl:
Good. Now, Marie, I called ten restaurants and had them give us a price
for a party room. These two had the best prices.
Marie:
The Green Room is a nice restaurant.
Cheryl:
Great! That’s my favorite, too. Now, Bob, about the food ...
Bob:
I was thinking steak and potatoes and ...
Cheryl:
Well, the client asked for fish or chicken. So I had the restaurant put
together a menu with each. Which do you like better?
Bob:
I like chicken more than fish, I guess.
Cheryl:
Great! Chicken it is. Now Paul ...
Paul:
Let me guess. You have a list of music choices.
Cheryl:
Yes!
Paul:
These look fine.
Cheryl:
Great! I think we’re all done.
Mr.
Evans: You see how easy it is to plan something when we do it all together?
Marie:
So glad we could help.
