Conversation 1 (with everyday expressions)_on March 15

1. How are things with your neighbours these days?
2. We're getting on like a house on fire now.
3. It took a while to break the ice but we're getting on well now.
4. I remember you didn't get off to a good start.
5. We didn't hit it off when they first moved next door.
6. I thought they came across as abrupt and unfriendly.
7. They were there in a flash to offer help.
8. It dawned on me that I'd misunderstood their way of speaking. 
9. It's easy to get the wrong idea about people sometimes.
10 . We were having a chat.
11. I was quite taken aback at first and I thought they'd really overstepped the mark.
12. We have had a long conversation about the dos and don'ts in both our cultures.
13. We've probably all put our foot in it at some time.
14. The whole experience was an eye opener for me.
15. For a start, it taught me not to jump to conclusions about people.
16. It's easier said than done though, isn't it?
17. I'm going to try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
18. When all is said and done, I think people everywhere are really more the same than different.
