DIALOG

Cindy :         Hi, Sandi. How are you?

Sandi :         Great, And you?

Cindy :         Ahahaha, it’s a bit ridiculous!

Sandi :         What’s the matter, Cindy?

Cindy:         The result of the short story contest were announced this morning.And I did’nt win any prizes because I forgot to send it. And I just knew it this morning when I found the envelope inside my drawer.

Sandy :        That’s too bad. How come? But, don’t worry about it. You’ll win another contest and you’ll not forget next time, won’t you?

Cindy :        Yes, that’s for sure. But, I don’t think I’ll never win a writing contest because I think I wrote it badly.

Sandy :        Huh? Look at this short story.It’s written by Marcia an eleven years old girl. I think you can writte better. Would it be possible for you to send your short story to the newspaper?

Cindy :        OK, I’ll consider that. Anyway, I’m not sure the newspaper will publish my short story.

Sandi :         Come on. Don’t give up.

Cindy :        Well, I’ll try. If I fail, I’ll quit writing short stories. I must admid I’m not a talented writer.

Sandi :         Oh, no. I wouldn’t do that if I were you. I don’t think it was a good idea.

Cindy :        Thanks for telling me.

Sandi :         Let’s just hope that someday your short stories will be published in a newspaper or magazine.
