Sofía: It's a nice day, isn't it?

Marcos: It is! You're going to the party tonight, aren't you?

S: I'd rather not go, actually. I'm very tired.

M: You'd better go. Elena organized it for her birthday and she'd be upset [ʌp'sɛt] if you didn't come.

S: You're right, aren't you? I should go. I'd rather arrive late than not go at all.

M: That's a good idea. You don't have to stay long, do you?

S: No, I suppose not. Would you rather walk there or take a taxi?

M: I'd rather walk. It isn't far, is it?

S: No, it's about fifteen minutes. But we'd better leave soon. The party starts at 8, doesn't it?

M: Yes. You haven't bought a present yet, have you?

S: Oh no! I completely forgot! I'd better go to a shop first.

M: You'd better hurry then. I'd rather you didn't arrive too late. Elena would notice.
