friend and express gratitude for the assistance rendered.

You : Hi Lina.
Lina : Hi Jane. Come in.
You : I have a problem, Lina. I don’t know how to do my Geography project.
Lina : Which part of the project are you having problems in?
You : Part 1 – looking for information and Part 2 – preparing a questionnaire.
Lina : Don’t worry. For Part 1, you can surf the Internet to get the required
information. Just google the place or factory you are going to visit. It’s as
simple as that, Jane!
You : What about the questionnaire? I’ve no idea how to do it.
Lina : I’ve done mine. Perhaps you could have a look at it. Let me get it
for you.
You : Thank you very much, Lina. You’ve been a great help.
Lina : It’s my pleasure. Just relax and don’t get too stressed, Jane.
You : Ok, Lina. Thank you again. Bye!
Lina : Bye!
