Johari   Hello, Salleh, How are things ?
     
Salleh   Hi, Johari, fine thanks. Are you better ? You've been ill, is it ?
     
Johari   Nothing serious. I was having the flu, that's all.
     
Salleh   Did you take anything for it ?
     
Johari   Just panadol. I was lazy to go to the clinic. I'm better now anyway. Hey, you are coming to the English society meeting tonight, isn't it ? I hope you would come because we are electing our new committee.
     
Salleh   Is it ? I'll try to make it. Who is standing for President ?
     
Johari   Azlina and Mei Yen are, but both of them don't stand much chance because Rashidi is standing for re-election. I think he would win quite easily.
     
Salleh   Yes, I think so too ! He was such an active president last year. I'm sure he could do a good job again this year. Anyway, he's much more experienced compared tot he other two.
     
Johari   Yes, I think so, too. Hey, do you know what is the time ? I mended my watch yesterday and I forgot to put it on this morning.
     
Salleh   Yes, it's half past three. Oh, by the way, Jo, did you remember to bring the book I lent you last week ?
     
Johari   Sorry, Salleh. I brought my book and forgot all about your one. Never mind. I'll give to you this evening at the meeting.
     
Salleh   Okay. Don't forget through, because I'm having an Economics assignment which needs to be finished by Friday.
     
Johari   Okay. I'll see you at the meeting then.
