* Weather:

It's lovely! I'm enjoying the sunshine.

I prefer cooler weather, but it's not too bad.

I'm not a fan of this heat. I prefer when it's cooler.

* Class:

Yeah, I'm really enjoying it. The professor is engaging.

It's alright. The material is interesting, but it can be challenging at times.

I'm not really enjoying it. The teaching style doesn't work for me.

2. Did you hear about ___________________? (something in the news, for example)

Yes, I did. It's pretty shocking, isn't it?

No, I haven't. Can you fill me in on the details?

Yeah, I saw that on the news. It's definitely a hot topic right now.

3. How long have you been waiting? (for the elevator, the bus, the meeting to begin, etc.)

* Elevator:

Just a couple of minutes. Hopefully, it arrives soon.

I've been waiting for what feels like forever. It's taking forever today.

I just got here, so not too long. Is it usually slow around this time?

* Bus:

About 10 minutes or so. It should be here soon, I hope.

It feels like ages. I'm starting to wonder if I missed it.

I literally just arrived, so not too long. Do you know the bus schedule well?

* Meeting:

I've been waiting for about 15 minutes. I hope it starts soon.

I arrived early, so I haven't been waiting too long.

I'm not sure. I just joined the group. Is the meeting usually punctual?
