your teachers, your classmates and schoolmates. In doing so, you
should consider the flow of your conversation so you will be able
to understand each other very well. You have to put in mind that
a nice conversation is a great key for better understanding and
for building ties with people around you.

A Sandwich for Selena

by Pelagio III P-jay B. Tabugoc

It was recess time. Franco went to the canteen to satisfy

himself by eating healthy foods. He bought 2 egg sandwiches and
a glass of lemonade for snacks. After paying the bill at the cashier,
he went on to look for a vacant table. Then he spotted his
classmate, Selena, sitting alone at the canteen.
Franco: Hello Selena! Is this seat taken? Can I share the table
with you?
Selena: Oh Franco! Hi! Sure. You can sit here with me.
Franco: Thank you, Selena. By the way, have you submitted
your output in our English class?
Selena: Not yet, Franco. I am actually working on it now. I can’t
focus in our classroom and since I am also a bit hungry,
I decided to go here so I can continue working on it.
Franco: Oh! I see. What did you have for snacks then? I learned
from my mom that your brain functions well if you eat
the right food.
Selena: Well, I just had a bag of chips earlier and a soda.

Selena: That’s so kind of you Franco. Thank you so much. I’ll
bear that in mind next time. I’m already finishing up my
output. Can you wait for me for a couple of minutes
before we can head back to our classroom together?
Franco: Sure. That won’t be a problem. I’ll just wait for you
Selena.
Selena: Thanks, Franco.
