Emily: Of course. What’s it?
Anna: You know my sister lives in New York. I want to visit her because tomorrow is her birthday.
Emily: Oh, how nice! Please tell me what I can do for you. Oh! Is it about the present?
Anna: Good guess, but you’re wrong, Emily. Could you please take care of my home while I’m
away? Nowadays, the electricity goes off very often and my refrigerator may have some
problems.
Emily: Sure Anna, no problem. Anything else?

Anna: No, dear. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. See you.
