Helen’s Dad is visting the flat and is impressed with Khalid’s DIY.
| Helen’s Dad: | The shelves look great Khalid. |
| Khalid: | Thank you. I enjoy working with my hands. I miss doing practical things like this when I’m studying all the time. |
| Dad: | Well I have an idea which might suit us both. |
| Khalid: | Really, what’s that? |
| Dad: | I hear you’re not going back home over the holidays. |
| khalid: | Er, yes. It’s too expensive and my family doesn’t celebrate Chrismas in Bahrain anyway. |
| Dad: | Well, I was planning on doing some redecorating on one of my other flats while my tenants were away for Christmas. |
| Khalid | Oh yes? |
| Dad: | I could really use another pair of hands. Of course, I wouldn’t expect you to work for free. What do you think? |
