Example :
John : Hi John, would you like to do something with me this weekend?
Jane : Sure. What shall we do?
John : I don't know. Do you have any ideas?
Jane : Why don't we see a film?
John : That's sounds good to me. Which film shall we see?
Jane : Let's see "Action Man 4".
John : I'd rather not. I don't like violent films. How about going to "Mad Doctor Brown"? I hear it's quite a funny film.
Jane : OK. Let's go see that. When is it on?
John : It's on at 8 o'clock at the Rex. Shall we have a bite to eat before the film?

John : Great idea! Let's meet there at six.
Jane : OK. I'll see you at 'Michetti's' at six. Bye.
