Dialogue:
Mary: It is John birthday next week. Let’s celebrate with a party.
Joe: Let’s not. John’s not really keen on surprise parties. But how about going to his favourite restaurant?
Mary: Let’s do that. Shall we buy a birthday cake?
Joe: I suppose we could but he is on a diet. Why don’t we buy just some small presents.
Mary: I don’t mind. Shall we book a table in the restaurant?
Joe: Yes, that’s a good idea. Let’s call them.
Mary: I’d rather call them tomorrow after inviting the others, too.
Joe: It’s OK with me.
