  • Welcome to the English we speak with.

  • Me Ja Ing and me Neil.

  • You're looking very festive today.

  • And what's that in that huge bag?

  • Well, as it's Christmas, I've bought you a present.

  • Oh, Neil, you shouldn't have.

  • I shouldn't have?

  • Really?

  • Well, I've still got the receipt, so I suppose I could return it.

  • No, no, don't do that.

  • I love presents.

  • I just meant it's unexpected.

  • When we're given a gift, we can say you shouldn't have to express that it's unexpected.

  • Not necessary.

  • But also appreciated.

  • But also appreciated.

  • So I was being polite.

  • I meant you didn't need to buy me a gift, but thanks anyway.
