W: Hi, Mark. How are you?
M: Actually, I am really fed up, Linda. It's Jane (Q1). W: Jane? Who's Jane?
M: No, nobody really. Just a most stunningly attractive girl in my year school (Q1).
W: Oh, is that all? So, what's the problem?
M: Well, the thing is I just don't know how to make her notice me or….

M: But I wouldn't know what to say. I …
