IV. Speaking Out
MODEL 1   It slipped my mind!
Amy: I sent out the invitations to the dinner party.
Bill:  That’s good. Now what should we do?
Amy: We’ve got to plan the menu.
Bill:  Oh, that’s right. Do you have anything in mind?
Amy: I think I’m going to make the chicken salad we had at the Christmas party. Remember I sled the chef for the recipe?
Bill: Yeah, but did you forget that Linda doesn’t eat chicken?

Bill: Well, everyone forgets something sometimes. It’s not too late yet. I’ll make a phone call. Don’t worry.
Amy: Thanks! You see, I’m getting forgetful. I think I’m getting old!
Bill: Looks like you are, sweetheart
