Una buena versión. Léela después de que las parejas lo intenten, no antes.

A
Hi, I don't think we've met. I'm Lucía — I've just started in Marketing.
B
Oh, hi Lucía, nice to meet you. I'm Tom, from IT. How's your first week going?
A
Pretty well, thanks. Everyone's been really friendly. Is this machine working? Nothing's happening.
B
Ah, no, it's been broken for days. The one on the third floor works, though.
A
Thanks, good to know. Have you worked here long?
B
About three years now. Are you from around here?
A
No, I moved here from Valencia two weeks ago, so everything's new.
B
Wow, that's a big change! Have you found anywhere nice for lunch yet?
A
Not really. Any recommendations?
B
There's a lovely little café on Mill Street — the soup's amazing. What do you do in your free time?
A
I love running, actually. I'm looking for people to run with.
B
Really? You should join us! A few of us go running every Thursday after work.

Reto extra para los más avanzados

B is in a hurry and keeps giving very short answers, so A has to use open questions to keep the chat going — and then end it politely when B's meeting starts.
