Rainers: Hello Nick!

Niks: Hello Rainer! Where are you going?

Rainers: I am going to a rock concert.

Niks: What is a rock concert?

Rainers: It is a place where you can listen to many bands and singers. Have you ever been to
a rock concert?

Niks: No, I have never been there. What do people do at rock concerts?

Rainers: I want to listen to my favourite band.

Niks: Can I go with you?

Rainers: Yes, of course.

Niks: See, there are so many people. I have just seen some singers on the street! Are they
going to the rock concert, too?

Rainers: I think that they are! Do you like rock music?

Niks: Yes, I like it, I listen to it every day!

Rainers: If you want, I can lend you some money. Have you taken enough money or do you
need me to lend you some?

Niks: That will be great. If you give me some money, I will give it back to you tomorrow. Do
you believe me?

Rainers: Yes, I believe you. What sort of friend am I now?

Niks: You are a good friend and you are generous! You are not thrifty!

Rainers: I know it and you are a good friend too. Where is the ticket office?

Niks: I think that we can buy the tickets at Statoil. Will you go with me?

Rainers: Of course!
