Could You Do Me a Favor? - Hi man, this is Mike, how is it going? - Hi Mike, everything is going well thanks for asking. What about you? There has been a month since we met the last. How have you been? - Actually, I have already been on vacation in Miami for a week and Alice is with me. We relax, have fun and go swimming in the ocean every day, stuff like that. Were you here you would be delighted. - That sounds amazing. I wish I could be hanging out with you but I can't afford to get away from my work till the end of the month. Next time maybe. - Yeah, it would be great. To be honest, I'm calling you to ask for a favor. The matter is that my girlfriend and I are coming to New York on 23rd so we have to find a place to stay for a short time and then we move forward. I wonder if you would let us stay at your place for two days. What do you think? - Man, you know me, I have never refused to help you. Of course, I will let you stay at my place but there is one problem. I have only one bed in my apartment, so there is not enough place for everybody. What can we do with it? - It is not a problem as we have got an air mattress. We had a lot of fun while sailing on it. Guess what? It proved to be very reliable. - Haha. In such a case everything is OK. I will be looking forward to your arrival. We have so many things to talk about. - Thanks, man. I always knew I could count on you. - Don't worry. Shall I meet you at the airport? - I don't think so. On coming we will take a taxi. - OK. Let's keep in touch. Relax well. See you soon. - OK, I'll call you when we are going to leave. Bye man. Examples: Would you mind lending me some money for an espresso? I wonder if you could take these books back to the library for me. I was wondering if you let me wear this leather jacket to the party this weekend. Would you mind if I borrowed your cell phone to call my friends in London? Would you mind me looking at the newspaper after you would have finished reading it? I wonder if you could take care of my pet while I'm on vacation.
