May: Don't you think our landlord is a really nice person? He just brought me a small gift for my birthday. John: You can say that again. He's a gentleman in every sense of the word. But how come he gave you your birthday gift already? Your birthday is next week. May: He says that he would be out of town next week. I don't know how to show my appreciation for his kindness. He's always been so nice to us. John: Well£¬ maybe we could buy him something as well as a small token. May: That'll be a good idea. How about a nice hat? It's getting cold so he could use a warm hat. John: Sounds good.
