1. A: I just walked in and there's water everywhere!
B: Calm down. What seems to be the problem?
A: I don't know. I've been out all day, and now there's water everywhere.
B: Did you leave the sink running?
A: No. Oh, wait a minute. I think it's the dishwasher. It must be broken. I turned it on this morning before I left, and now the kitchen is flooded.
2. A: Hello, Amy? It's Mark.
B: Hi. Mark! Are you on your way?
A: Yes, but I'm calling because I'm going to be late. B: Did you get lost?
A: No, but I missed the 6 o'clock train. I'll have to catch the next one.
B: That's okay. Thanks for calling.
3. A: Oh, no, the entire bathroom is flooded!
B: Did you leave the water running or something?
A: No, I never do that. I don't know what happened. Wait a minute ... do you feel that?
B: Yes, there's water dripping from the ceiling. Look!
A: I guess the upstairs neighbors left the water running in their bathroom. Now. ours is flooded! We better call the manager, quick!
4. A: Hey, can you help me? I've got a 10 o'clock appointment, and I think I'm going to be a little late.
B: Did you get lost?
A: I'm afraid so.
B: Where are you?
A: I'm just opposite the new train station. According to my map, there's a street that goes right through it!
B: Yes, there used to be. Now, you have to go down to Main Street and take a right, and then another right.
A: Oh, okay. Thanks. I'll be there in a little while.
5. A: Hello. This is Robert Baldwin.
B: Yes, Robert, what can I do for you?
A: I'm calling because I'm going to be late.
B: Did you get lost?
A: No. I've got a flat tire. I'm going to have to call a tow truck.
B: Well, why don't we just reschedule the appointment?
A: Okay, I guess we'll have to.
6. A: Hi, Sue. This is Eric.
B: Hi Eric. What's up?
A: I'm afraid I'm going to be a little late for work today.
B: Did you miss the train?
A: No. But I was sitting in a cafe this morning, having coffee. The server walked by with someone else's coffee. She tripped and spilled it all over me! Now I have to go home and change my shirt.
B: No problem. Thanks for calling.
