Host: It’s 10:00 and you’re listening to Donna’s Do-It-All Show. Do you have a problem? Give me a call and … wait, I see a light flashing. I think we have a call.
Caller: Hello? Hello?
Host: Hello. This is Donna. Can I help you?
Caller: I need help with my errands. I don’t have enough time.
Host: OK, tell me about it.
Caller: Well, for example, today is really bad. I have a doctor’s appointment and need to do the grocery shopping. Then I have to leave the car at the garage. And that is just this morning! I have many more errands to do!
Host: Well, you sound tired. I have an idea for you. … Why don’t you hire an errand service?
Caller: An errand service?
Host: Yes, it’s a company. You pay them by the hour, and they help you with your errands.
Caller: Really?
Host: Yes. They can help you with many kinds of errands. They can do your grocery shopping, for example. Or go to the bank for you … if you don’t have the time.
Caller: What about my daughter? I pick her up every day after school.
Host: They can even do that.
Caller: That’s incredible! I think I’ll call them.

Agent: So, what do you think of the house?
John: It’s great.
Dana: Yes. We really like it.
John: How about the neighborhood. Is it safe?
Agent: Very. And it’s quiet, even on weekends.
Dana: Is it convenient for shopping?
Agent: Absolutely. There’s a mall over on Church Avenue, and a supermarket about two blocks from here.
Dana: I see a lot of traffic during the day. Is the neighborhood pedestrian friendly?
Agent: Well, I think so. There are pedestrian bridges over the larger streets. So you and your family can cross safely.
Dana: That’s good. I worry about the traffic when I’m shopping with Timmy. He’s only three years old.
