Conversation Script
I recommend reading the script out loud to practice your speaking skills and confidence. It’s 
even better to practice reading the script with a friend!
[Scene 1]
Vanessa: Hey Dan, aren’t you ready to tidy up? 
Dan: No, I’m not. It’ll take all day! And I’m trying to find my hockey stick.
Vanessa: No, it won’t take all day. And maybe we can find your stick while we clean. 
Dan: Okay. What’s the first thing we need to do?
Vanessa: We need to find the cleaning supplies. 
Dan: They are below the kitchen sink. And the vacuum and the broom are inside the closet in the
dining room. 
Vanessa: Aren’t you going to get the supplies?
Dan: I will, but can you do the laundry. The washing machine is empty, so we’ll be able to wash 
the pillows, the sheets, and the comforter. 
Vanessa: That’s a good idea.
[Scene 2]
Vanessa: I don’t think everything will fit in the washer. It’ll overflow! I’ll start with the sheets. 
Where is the laundry basket?
Dan: It isn’t on top of the dresser in the bedroom.
Vanessa: That’s where we always put it! I didn’t move it. 
Dan: I found it! You’re not going to believe where it was. 
Vanessa: Was it between the bookshelf and the TV? By the coffee table? Next to the bathroom 
cabinet?
Dan: No, it was outside!
