A:Have you heard about Sam?

B:No, I haven't.
A:Well, I haven't spoken to him myself, but, apparently, he was caught cheating in
his Maths exam.
B:No kidding! I can't believe that. Does he have a problem with Maths?
A:No. Actually, Maths is his best subject.
B:Really? So why would he cheat? He doesn't need to.
A:Exactly. And anyway, Sam's not the type to cheat.
B:He must be very upset. Presumably, he's going to complain.
A:Yeah, he's seeing the principal this afternoon. Obviously, he's going to deny it
completely.
Well, hopefully, the principal will believe him. Let me know what happens.
I will. Personally, I think he'll be OK.
I hope you're right. Cheers. See you later.
Yeah. Fingers crossed for Sam. Bye.

A:So what do you think of Liverpool, Lars?

B:It’s really interesting. Liverpool’s such an old city, isn’t it? There are some lovely
buildings, and the people are so friendly!
A:Yes, they are, aren’t they? When did you get here?
B:Two days ago. I got the plane from Oslo. We were a bit late landing, but it didn’t
matter.
A:Oh, good. Where are you staying in Liverpool?
B:At the Grand Hotel. It’s very convenient for the office. My room isn’t very big, but
it’s OK.
A:What a pity! Never mind. Where are you from?
B:Well, from Norway. I was born in Bergen, but I live in a suburb of Oslo. It’s very
pretty, and it’s not far from the sea.
A:Really? It sounds beautiful. Your English is very good. Where did you learn it?
That’s very kind of you, but I know I make a lot of mistakes. I learned it at school for
years, and I’ve been to England quite a few times.

[Pt. II]
We were young
posters on the wall
praying we’re the ones that the teacher wouldn’t call
we would stare at each other
coz we were always in trouble
 
And all the cool kids
Did their own thing
I was on the outside always looking in 
Yeah I was there but I wasn’t 
They never really cared if I wasn’t
 
We all need that someone
Who gets you like no one else 
Right when you need it the most
 
We all need a soul to rely on
A shoulder to cry on
A friend through the highs and the lows
 
I'm not gonna make it alone 
La la la la la la la la alone/lone
I’m not gonna make it alone 
La la la la la la la la alone/lone 
 
Then I saw your face 
Your forgiving eyes 
Looking back at me from the other side
like you understood me
And I'm never letting you go
 
We all need that someone
Who gets you like no one else 
Right when you need it the most
