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.

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.
