#Person1#: Mike, come here, please.
#Person2#: I'm coming, mom. It looks like you're very busy. Is someone coming this afternoon?
#Person1#: Yes, some of my friends are coming over this afternoon. There's still so much to get ready.
#Person2#: Is there anything I can do to help you?
#Person1#: Sure, I still need to get some drinks. I'd like to have coffee, water, fruit juice and some cola.
#Person2#: I'll go and buy some fruit juice and cola and then I'll make some coffee.
#Person1#: Do you know how to make coffee?
#Person2#: Yes, aunt Joan taught Mary and me when we visited her last week. So I can make very nice coffee now.
#Person1#: That's great, Mike. Don't forget to buy some sugar
#Person2#: OK. By the way, when will your friends come? It's already 5:00 o'clock now.
#Person1#: They'll arrive in an hour.
#Person2#: OK. Should I buy any fruit, perhaps some apples or bananas?
#Person1#: Oh, yes. Let me see, we still have some bananas left, so just buy some apples.
