Vicky:   What time do we have to be at the coffee morning?

Rachel: The invitation says ten o’clock.

Vicky:   Well, it’s ten now. We’d better hurry. We shouldn’t be late.

Rachel: Oh, it won’t matter if we are a bit late.

Vicky:    I think it would be rude, wouldn’t it? I don’t think people ought to arrive late when they’ve been invited to something.

Rachel: You worry too much. You shouldn’t take everything so seriously, Vicky. It’s a coffee morning, not a job interview. We don’t have to get there exactly on time. We may be a little bit late.

Report the dialogue.

Tom:      I can’t come out tonight, Margo. I ought to do some more work. I’m behind with everything. I’ve got so much to do.

Margo: You shouldn’t worry so much, Tom. Don’t panic. You ought to relax sometimes. You could take a break.

Tom:      I know I shouldn’t panic, but I do. I can’t help it.

Margo: Anyway, you’re doing OK, aren’t you? Your results have been good.

              You should be pleased. You oughtn’t to invent problems for yourself.
