W: David, can I give you a hand with one of those grocery bags?
M: Sure, Jane. Could you take this one please? I didn' t realize how heavy these bags would be.
W: Why did you buy so much stuff when you had to walk back home from the store?
M: Well, I didn' t intend to buy a lot. But I' m having some people over and I guess I needed more than I expected.
W: What' s the occasion?
M: Now the people I live with, the Kremers, have been on vacation for a month and I thought I' d surprise them. I' m inviting some of their friends and families for a welcome home dinner.
W: Oh, that' s really thoughtful of you.
M: I figure it' s the least I can do for them. I' ve been staying with them rent free while I'm in school.
W: Really? That's pretty generous of them.
M: Well, they must understand how difficult it is to make ends meet when you' re a student. They' ve been such a big help to me. I thought that this might be a small way to thank them for the generosity.
