LINGUISTIC FUNCTIONS

Sandra: You were right, Peter.

Peter: Did you speak to Carol?

Sandra: Yes, I did. And it was a big mistake. I should have listened to you

Peter: Why? What happened?

Sandra: I told her I had seen Terry at the disco with Sharon . But she just got angry with me.

She accused me of exaggerating the whole thing. And she said I was just jealous because I didn't have a boy friend . What a cheek!

Peter: I told you not to get involved.

Sandra: I know. I shouldn't have said anything.

Peter: Wasn't she annoyed with Terry?

Sandra: No. She said she was sure he could explain everything.

Peter: Oh well, never mind. You were only trying to help. She'll soon forget about it.

Sandra: Yes, I suppose so. The trouble with Carol is that she doesn't know who real friends are.

ARGUMENTATIONS

Carol's reactions were that:
