Week 5: Conversation for Linking Practice



Two Parents-to-be



Read the following conversation that you can find on your textbooks on pages 29 & 30. Mark all linking in it.


Donna

Bob, I want to talk to you.

Bob

Are you all right, Donna?

Donna

Don’t be alarmed. I saw Dr. Johnson at the hospital. You’re going to be a father! Our baby will be born in October.

Bob

I’m in shock. How do you feel?

Donna

I’m feeling on top of the world. I’ve got a list of names for the baby.

Bob

If it is a girl, let’s call her Donna after her mom.

Donna

Donna is fine for a middle name. How about Connie or Barbara for her first name?

Bob

Fine. If it is a boy, we’ll name him Don.

Donna

Better yet, if it is a boy, let’s call him Bob after his father. If it is a girl, we’ll call her Barbara.

Bob

Donna, maybe you want to name her Rhonda after your father’s sister. Then, if it is a boy, we can name him Ron.

Donna

We don´t want to forget your mother Carla. So, let’s call him Carl if he is a boy.

Bob

I think we ought to stop. This could go on and on.

Donna

It’s not really a problem. Now we have name for our first four darling babies.

Bob

Donna, you’ve gone too far. One at a time is enough for this mom and pop. Donna or Don is a good start for now!
