Объяснение:

1 A: Right, Jones! It's a yellow card for you.

B: Oh Ref! What had I done?

A: I had already blown the whistle three times, Jones, but you

carried on playing!

2 A: Did you see the ice hockey last night, Ben?

Great goal by Grabic, huh?

B: Well, I was watching the game when the doorbell rang. I went to

answer it. It was some sales person, and when I got back, I had missed

the goal!

A: No way!

A: Arthur, at seventy-six years of age you're the

oldest competitor to finish the marathon today.

Why did you decide to run?

B: Oh, well, last year my grandson and I were

watching the race on TV when he asked, 'Granddad, have you

ever done that?' I told him that I hadn't run a

marathon and he said, 'Maybe you should try.'

So, I did it for my grandson, Timmy. Can I say hello to him?

Hello, Timmy!​
