Jane:   Oh, Dave, you can stay a little bit longer, surel

Dave: I'd like to, Jane- really-but if I don't get home i. arly at night I'll

never be able to wake up in the morning.

Jane:  Oh, come on, Dave. Just stay for one more dance, that's all.
Dave: I'd like to, Jane, honestly, but I think I'd better go now.
Jane:  Well, thanks for coming and see you soon.
Dave: Yes, fine. Cheerio then, Jane.

Does she try to per­suade him to stay? What does she say? 6. Does Jane sound a bit ex­cited? If so, what language shows she does? 7. Why do you think Dave didn't say "Good-bye" to Jane? 8. Would have he sounded too formal if he had used it? 9. Are there parting words in your own lan­guage that reflect a different degree of formality? Can you be too for­mal?
