Ning: Don’t panic. When did you last it?
Grace: Yesterday, at the bank. I have left it there.
Ning: The bank be open yet. It’s only seven.
Ji-woo: it be in your backpack?
Grace: No, I’ve checked twice. It be there.
Minjun: Maybe someone it by mistake.
Ning: I doubt it. Our guests are very honest. It have fallen somewhere in the lobby.
Grace: Oh dear. I lose things when I travel.
Pedro: Grace, is this yours? I found it the sofa cushions.
Grace: Yes! It have slipped out of my bag last night.
Grace: You’re a lifesaver, Pedro. I have flown home without it!
Pedro: Don’t worry. It happen to anyone.
Ning: You be tired after such a long trip.
Grace: I am. Perhaps I rest this afternoon instead of shopping.
Minjun: That be a good idea.
Ning: And maybe you make a copy of your passport, just in case.
Grace: I that. Now, where are my sunglasses?
Pedro: They be on your head, Grace!
Grace: Oh no, they are! I believe it!
