Misha: Hi, Rosy. It's Misha.
Rosy: Oh! Hi, Misha, how are you getting on?
Misha: I'm OK, thanks. And how are you?
Rosy: I'm fine.
Misha: Well, mmm..., what's the weather like?
Rosy: It's been raining since this morning.
Misha: That's boring.
Rosy: Yes, it's bad. Look, Misha. Is there something I can do for you?
Misha: Well, yes. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.
Rosy: That's right.
Misha: Well, you know, girls and boys send valentines and little presents to each other, if... you know...
Rosy: If they like each other.
Misha: Yes. And I have been thinking about one girl for a long time...She has been helping me a lot since I first met her.
Rosy: And you want to send her a valentine, don't you?
Misha: That's right. Her name is Emily Wilson. I have known her for six months and she's very special to me. But I'm not sure about English traditions.
Rosy: Oh, I see... Well, Valentine's Day used to be a big deal at St David's. When I was there, we used to organise a post box and after class teachers opened it and gave out valentines to the students. There was only one problem: some people who were unpopular never got any valentines and got very upset. So three years ago the teachers changed the rules: if you want to send valentines, you have to send them to everybody in your class.
Misha: Oh! That's impossible! What shall I do? It's nine o'clock already.
Rosy: But there's no need to worry. I can give you some advice. Put your valentine in Emily's bag when nobody is looking at you.
Misha: Thank you, Rosy, I'll do that.
Rosy: OK, Misha, I have to answer my mobile now. Somebody has been trying to get through all this time.
