Amy: Have you heard the (astonish) news about Lucy and Sam?

Cathy: You mean about their getting married. Yes, I have. I was absolutely (astound) when I

heard about it. I thought it was the most (amaze) thing I'd heard in a long time.

I was (worry) that they would split up. They were always at each other’s throat.

It was (embarrass) to hear them row. And what is more, they didn’t care who heard them.

Amy: I agree with you. I was pretty (stun) when I heard them myself. I was

(horrify) once at a dinner party. They didn’t stop arguing through the whole of the

main course. It was really (distress).

Cathy: Of course, I'm (relieve) to hear that they are going to tie the knot.

But I can’t imagine that they will live a life of (content), (wed) bliss.

Amy: What a (depress) thing to say.

Cathy: Not really. I’m just being honest.

Amy: Well, we’ve got the wedding to look forward to. Weddings are always so (thrill).

Cathy: I can’t see what’s (thrill) in seeing two people getting hitched, knowing full

well that it won’t last.

Amy: Now, you’re making me (depress) again. What’s more, you’re

(irritate) me. I think I had better leave before we have a row.
