Noelia: Morning, Bob.
Bob: Oh, good morning.
Noelia: It's so rainy today. The weather in this country is horrible!
Bob: Yes … yes … The weather was even worse when I lived in Canada.
Noelia: Oh, I didn't know that you lived in Canada, Bob. How cool!
Bob: One winter it was so cold and windy that I fell on the ice and broke my leg in three places.
Noelia: Oh no! You're joking!
Bob: I wish I was, Noelia, I wish I was. I was never the same after that winter. And my leg is still bad today.
Noelia: Really? I'm sorry to hear that. Poor you.
Bob: But it's not all bad. I met my wife in the hospital. She was the doctor who looked at my leg!
Noelia: No way!
Bob: It was love at first sight!
Noelia: Ah, that's brilliant!
Bob: Yes, and we're still in love 40 years later …

Bob: Yes, I suppose it was!

Hello mr.yashar,
I'm sorry that's confusing. When you want to drop a phrase in a box, you have to click or press on the small white hand (on the right) of the phrase that is already in the box. Then the second phrase will also move into the box.
It's easy to do but a little difficult to explain, so if you'd like me to describe how to do it again, please let us know.
All the best,
Kirk

When I was 17, I broke my fist. Because I attacked bad guy who attacked me first. He told me to pay. Not only that, I even demanded it from my girlfriend I was with. So I hit him. As a result, I broke my fist.

Hi, when I was 11 years old, I broke my leg. I broke tibia and fibula in two places. I was skating and I fell on my leg. It was horrible because I had my leg in plaster during three - month.
