Jeff: Janine, I’m reporting from the trackside as the stadium holds its breath in excitement.
Janine: I can almost picture it now…
Jeff: I can tell you that Jess’ heart is racing at 100 miles per hour.
Janine: Outstanding personification, Jeff!
Jeff: Thanks Janine, I sometimes describe objects as if they’re people, I find it makes my sentences more exciting.
Janine: It’s as if we’re there with you, Jeff.
Jeff: Oooh noooo!
Janine: What can you see, Jeff?
Jeff: That is one miserable shot put!
Janine: Ooh, that’s more top drawer personification!
Jeff: Time for her final throw…
Oooh no, Janine, the score board is weeping in disappointment.
Janine: As am I, Jeff, as am I! Is there any good news for Jess?
Jeff: Not really, Janine…
Janine: Oh well, at least the camera loves her!
