Hi Mum, it's Julia.

Hello Julia. How are you?

Julia: Why? What's wrong?
Mother: Oh, I hurt my back.
Julia: Oh no. What did you do?
Mother: I pulled a muscle.
Julia: Oh that's terrible! How did you do that?
Mother: I slipped over in the kitchen on the weekend.
Julia: Oh Mum, I'm sorry. Did you see a doctor?
Mother: Yes. He gave me a massage and he said I should rest.
Julia: So, can you walk?
Mother: Yes I can walk but my back hurts when I lift things.
Julia: Mum you shouldn't do any housework.
Mother: Oh, I'm okay Julia. Your father is helping me.
Julia: Do you want me to come and stay? I can look after you.
Mother: Thanks Julia, but I'm all right. Don't worry about me.
Julia: Okay, but take care Mum.
Mother: I know, I know. Anyway, how's your study?
