本期话题
Topic:Have you ever been caught in a lie?
Valeria: Hi.
Daniel: Hey, how are you?
Valeria: Fine and you?
Daniel: Not bad.
Valeria: May I ask you something?
Daniel: Yeah.
Valeria: Have you ever been caught in a lie?
Daniel: Yep, I have.
Valeria: When?
Daniel: A number of years ago. I don't think now, I don't think it's a big, big lie but at the moment I think it was. The thing is I, every day I went to school and when I got to school I met some friends and they asked me not to, you know, go to classes but somewhere else instead. I think everyone has done that.
Valeria: Yes.
Daniel: And I did. Obviously I went with my friends. When I came back to my home, my mum asked me so how was the day and I'd say yeah, yeah, you know like classes as usual. But then she was like by the way what were you doing, you know, like the arcade place because the neighbor saw you. And I was like really? And I was really, really scared, you know, I'd just lied to my mum and yeah the neighbor saw me and I was really, really scared, so they caught me and I couldn't say anything because, you know, that's the proof we were caught. So it was a really, really awkward and embarrassing time.
Valeria: Something similar happened to me but the thing is since it was like my brother, the best friend of my brother, my best friend and I, it was kind of pretty obvious and the teacher phoned from school.
Daniel: Ah.
Valeria: To let my mum know.
Daniel: Yeah, if your whole mates just don't go to school, I think that's pretty obvious.
Valeria: Yes, it was.
