Stirling: Hello.
Mary: Hello, dad?
Stirling: Yes... Mary! How are you? Anything wrong?
Mary: Oh, no. I just wanted to call and see how you and mom are. It's been quite a while since I saw you last time.
Stirling: Oh, we're both fine. Your mother is down at the new shopping center shopping.
Mary: For a new dress?
Stirling: No, for shoes this time, I think. How's David?
Mary: He's fine. He likes his work and was given a raise last month by Mr. Smith. We are all pretty pleased about that.
Stirling: Yes, I think you should be. And how are the children?
Mary: Well, George's home from school today. It's nothing serious, just a bad cold. And. it's his birthday, too!
Stirling: Oh, I thought his birthday was May 24th.
Mary: No. April 24th.
Stirling: Well, that's too bad. Tell him we'll send him a present.
Mary: All right. Diane's still taking dancing lessons.
Stirling: She must be pretty good by now. How about Tom?
Mary: He's OK, too. He's having a part-time job at a garage now.
Stirling: Well, it's certainly good to hear your voice.
Mary: OK, dad. Nice talking to you and give Morn our love.
Stirling: All right. Good-bye.
Mary calls her dad to check if everything is fine at home. Mary also tells her dad how her family members have been doing.
