Here is a practice dialogue.
She poked me in the eye!
Storyline: Kate was playing with her daughter when she accidentally poked her in the eye.
Mary: What happened to your eye?
Kate: Nothing really. My daughter poked me in the eye. Actually I was playing with her when her fingernails scrapped my eye.
Mary: That’s no good.
Kate: At first it wasn’t too bad so I just ignored it, but the next morning it really hurt.
Mary: Didn’t you see a doctor?
Kavita: Yeah, I did.
Mitra: What did he say?
Kate: He said that it should be okay but it might take a while. Until then I’ll have to live with a blurry eye.
Mary: I’m so sorry to hear that.
Kate: Yeah. I never thought that a harmless poke in the eye would cause so much damage.
