Responding to a compliment

Tom:Hi,Lucy.Nice to see you.

Lucy:Me too.

Tom:I was impressed yesterday when you won the English speech contest.You really deserved to win.

Lucy:Thank you.That`s very kind.

Tom:Your speech was excellent.

Lucy:Was it?

Tom:Sure.I really liked what you said about fixing the problems of pollution.It was very reasonable.I think you`re right,too.If people would just care a little more and work a little harder,the problem would solve itself.

Lucy:It was a real challenge speaking to such a big audience.I was scared but I felt good too.

Tom:Well,you were a real success and I think everyone agreed with what you said too.
