Sammy: Are you ... OK?
Julia: Yes, Sammy. I'm OK.
Sammy: Yes, but ... I mean ... Are you doing anything tomorrow?

Julia: Yes. Maybe.
Sammy: Oh, I see. Sorry.

Sammy: OK. Well, what do you like doing? Oh, but not ...
Julia and Sammy: Cycling!
Sammy: I don't like cycling.
Julia: Do you like music? We could go to the opera.
Sammy: My dad loves opera. He listens to it all the time ...
Julia: Great, so ...
Sammy: But I can't stand it.
Julia: OK. OK. OK, so no opera. Great.
Sammy: What about sports? There's a football match in the afternoon.

I don't understand phrase "Take the lift". Can you explain to me, please? Thanks you.
Hello tranvanthanh141, The phrase 'take the lift' means to choose the lift rather than the stairs in a building. You can 'take the lift' or 'take the stairs'. It's similar to the way we use 'take' with modes of transport: 'take the train', 'take a taxi' etc. ~ Peter The LearnEnglish Team
