Test six.

Paula: Hi Dave, I haven't seen you for ages. What have you been up to?

Dave: Oh, hi Paula. I've been helping out at the community center.

Paula: Oh, I see. How come?

Dave: Well, you know I have a part-time job at the Red Hill Retirement Home.

Paula: Yes.

Dave: Well, I got to know a lot of the senior citizens there quite well, and some of them don't get out much, so I thought it would be a good idea to start organizing a few trips out and about in the minibus to different places.

Paula: That's very nice of you.

Dave: Well, we're all going to be old one day, you know.

Paula: I suppose that's true enough.

Dave: I think it's awful the way that some elderly people are treated. Just because they're older doesn't make them any less of a person. We should all show them more respect as a society and as individuals.

Paula: You're right.

Dave: I think about my own grandparents and how I didn't really get the chance to know them very well. So I treat these people like stand-in grandparents in a way.

Paula: So where have you taken them?

Dave: We haven't been to a lot of places yet, it takes a lot of organization and time to get everyone ready. But we've had a trip to the community center, and that's where I've been, playing cards and reading to people whose eyesight is not very good. For the next outing, I'm rounding up some volunteers so that we can go for an evening out at the bingo hall. I'm also hoping to sort out a coach trip to the flower show next month. What do you think?

Paula: Sounds great.

Dave: No, I mean, why don't you volunteer to help?

Paula: Oh. Well, um, yes, all right then. Why not?

Dave: Great, you won't regret it.

Paula: Okay. Well, give me a call with the details tomorrow.

Dave: Great. Talk to you later.
