 A:     I’m forming a music band.

 B:     Do you already know how to play an instrument?

 A:     Uh... Yeah! I’ve told you a thousand times that I’m
        learning to play the drums.  Now that I know how
       to play well, I would like to form a rock band.

 B:    Aside from yourself, who are the other members
       of the band?

 A:    We have a guy who plays guitar, and another who
        plays bass¹. Although we still haven’t found any-
       one to be our singer. You told me that you had
       some musical talent, right?

 B:    Yes, I’m a singer.

 A:     Perfect. So you can audition² this weekend here at
        my house.

 B:    Great! Wait here? You don’t have enough
        room for the amplifiers, microphones or even your
       drums! By the way where do you  keep them or
        practice?
 A:    Dude? What are you talking about? It’s right here!
       All we need is my Nintendo Wii and we are set!
