Mary calls John, asking him to give a message to her parents.

M: Hello, Uncle John, this is Mary.

J: Mary, what a surprise! How are you doing in China?

M: Very well!

J: Did you go to the Great Wall?

M: Yes, I did, it’s wonderful. I like it very much.

J: Great! What were you doing when President Bush came to China?

M: I was just at Tiananmen Square, but I didn’t see him.

J: What a pity!

M: Oh, I tried to call my Mom and Dad,, but the line was always busy.

J: OK. I can take a message for you.

M: So kind of you, Uncle John. Please tell my parents I will return to New York next Saturday.

J: Ok, No problem!

M: Thanks a lot!

J: You’re welcome.
