Woman Oh, where’s that tow truck?
Man Calm down. We’ve only been waiting for five minutes.
Woman Did you call Jeff and Linda to tell them that we’re going to be late?
Man Of course. Be thankful we have mobile phones these days.
Woman You’re right. What did we do before mobile phones? I really can’t
remember.
Man I can. One time, my car broke down near New Forest and I
walked for 45 minutes before I found a house.
Woman Did they let you use their phone?
Man Yes. They were very nice. And they even gave me a lift back to my car.
Woman What a nightmare! Why were you in the New Forest?
Man I got lost. I didn’t have a GPS back then, either.
Woman Life was a lot simpler, but I think it was worse.
Man What do you mean?
Woman I mean, life without mobile phones, GPS or Internet was difficult.
Man Well, I don’t want to go back to life without the Internet, that’s for
sure. Just think, we do our banking, check the news, weather, find
information about everything.
Woman That’s true. But life seemed a lot simpler without all this technology.
Man What about shopping? You buy almost everything on the Net these
days.
Woman You’re right. Technology has given me more time to do other things.
Man Well, when we get home, maybe I can download a new car.
Woman Ha, ha... That’s a good idea.

A:Hello, you. I haven’t seen you for ages.
B:I’m sorry. Do I know you?
A:It’s me, John.
B:I don’t think I’ve met you before.
A:Come on! Don’t you remember me?
B:Maybe you think I’m my brother, Alan. We look alike.
A:No, we used to work together at the supermarket on Hillary Street.
B:But that was twenty years ago!
A:Well, I still remember you.
2.
A:Hello?
B:Hi, is Julie there?
A:I’m sorry. She’s gone to the gym. Can I take a message?
B:No, it’s OK. It’s Emma from work. She rang me earlier but I was in a meeting. I just wanted
to know what she wanted.
A:OK, I’ll tell her you called.
B:Great, thanks.

A:So, how’s your new flatmate?
B:Stuart? He’s OK, I suppose.
A:Umm, you don’t sound very enthusiastic.
B:Well, he’s starting to get on my nerves.
A:Is he forgetting to pay the bills like your old flatmate?
B:No, he’s OK with the bills. It’s just that he cooks some really nice food, but he never shares it
with me. And I don’t think he likes it when I play on his game console.
A:I see. Well, some people are just like that.

A: Hey, Wendy.
B: Hi, Fiona. Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?
A: Sure, but can we go somewhere normal for a change?
B: What’s normal?
A: Well, that last restaurant where there were no waiters and we ordered using a tablet
wasn’t very good.
B: Come on, it was fun! We got our food really fast, and it was delicious.
A: Yeah, I suppose. It was just a strange place, that’s all.
B: Well, maybe you won’t like what I have planned for tonight then.
A: What is it this time?
B: It’s a restaurant where you eat in the dark.
A: What? No lights at all?
B: Nope. It’s supposed to be amazing because all you think about is the taste. What do you
think?
A: That makes sense actually. But how do you know what you’re eating?
B: You don’t, until you’ve tasted it. That’s the exciting thing. Also, they have got live
relaxing music playing, too. So, you just listen and taste.
A: It sounds pretty interesting actually.
B: OK, then. It’s very near my flat. It’s on the corner of Wilson Street and Gilbert Road.
We can meet there, or do you want me to pick you up?
A: No, I’ll see you there. But if you get there first, wait for me. Don’t enter the restaurant,
OK?
B: Why not?
A: I’m not going to find you inside if it’s dark!
B: That’s true. OK, see you there at eight.

A: Hello, I’m Will Anderson, and this is Channel 6 news. We’re going over to Sandy
Watson, who is going to give us the latest on the fire in Bridge Street this afternoon.
Sandy?
B: Hello, Will. Well, as you can see behind me, firefighters have just managed to put out
the fire here at the National Museum. A few moments ago, they told us that the fire
started in the cafeteria on the top floor and then spread to the fifth floor, which is below
it.
A: Were any people injured in the fire?
B: No, luckily, there were about 100 people in the building at the time, but they got out
pretty quickly. As we speak, firefighters are trying to rescue six people who are in one of
the rooms on the top floors. They are trapped, but they are fine and they are in no
danger.
A: What about the damage to the building?
B: Well, as you can imagine, the two top floors are pretty badly burnt. Fortunately,
firefighters worked fast and managed to get most of the paintings out before they got
destroyed in the fire.
A: That’s good news. We’ll be back with Sandy, with any further developments...

A: I can check on the Internet for my symptoms

Let’s go there and ask them.

I had some unforgettable moments on this
beach when I was a child.
A: But on the other side of the island you have
breathtaking views of the volcano.
B: All right, we can go there tomorrow, OK? Did
I ever tell you about the time my uncle Steve
took us out in his boat and...?
A: Yes, about a hundred times.

A:Did you see that news article about sending a human to Mars?
B:Are they really going to do it?
A:Not quite yet. But it might happen in our lifetime. Imagine that!
B:I can’t see the point, really.
A:What? Don’t you think it’s exciting?
B:Not really. OK, they do research and they might even find life forms or something, but it’s
just a waste of time.
A:No, it isn’t. I don’t believe that they’ll find anything of interest, but it’s not all about the
actual space travel to Mars.
B:What do you mean?
A:Just think of all the progress we make while designing the technology for space travel. I
mean, computers, smartphones, GPS wouldn’t exist without all the research done on space
travel.
B:I hadn’t thought of that, actually. But is it really worth it? I mean, there are millions of
people in the world who are homeless and hungry, and we’re spending billions on
spacecraft. It doesn’t seem right.
A:Well, yeah. When you say it like that. I suppose there are more important things to think
about.

And here’s the latest news about yesterday’s disaster in Portersville. Authorities have
announced that many buildings were damaged, but luckily nobody was killed. There
was some flooding in the city centre and the bad weather has made it hard for rescue
teams. At the moment, there is a group of workers trapped in an office building. A
rescue team is doing their best to get them out, but they are worried about aftershocks.
Let’s go over to Sandy now, who is at the scene.

always fall over.

works there.
B:That’s cool.

Open answer.
A:Well, what an end to the third quarter that was!
B:Yes, it was very exciting.
A:Let’s just go over it again, because it all
happened so fast. With ten seconds to go, the
Tigers were winning by 6 points. I thought it
would stay like that.
B:Me too. The Falcons seemed to be in deep
trouble, but then Ericson came into the game
and really changed things.
A:And he only came on because Thompson was
injured. Is that right?
B:That’s what it looked like. Thompson fell while
he was dribbling from one end of the court to
the other. He obviously sprained his ankle,
and with about 15 seconds to go, Ericson was
given the chance to play.
A:Yeah, I think Coach Rollins just didn’t want the
Tigers to score any more points, so he put
Ericson on to try and stop them.
B:But Ericson had other plans. As soon as he
caught the ball for the first time, he shot and
scored.
A:Three points! What a shot!
B:Then with 5 seconds on the clock, the Tigers
came down the other end. They missed a shot
and Ericson caught the ball again. He had a
few players he could pass to, but with only two
seconds left he threw the ball from the other
end of the court. Another three points!
A:The whole arena watched as the ball flew the
length of the court and into the basket. I
haven’t seen anything like it for many years.
B:No, you’re right. It really was a special shot.
A:And the players are entering the court now for
the fourth quarter. Will Coach Rollins play
Ericson in this quarter?
B:I think he has to, after that performance.
A:OK. Let’s take a look at the teams.

accounting?

I wasn’t getting paid much, which I didn’t like.

Last year my wife and I were on a bus tour of castles in Germany. There were a lot of bus
journeys and it was very tiring, but we had a very nice time. One morning we were travelling in
the north of the country. Our next stop was a long way away, so the bus stopped in a small town
for a break. My wife was sleeping so I got off quickly to get some coffee. The café was busy so I
had to wait in a long queue. When I got back to where the bus had parked, it was gone. I
panicked, and didn’t know what to do. Then I had an idea. I got a taxi and told the driver to take
me to the next castle. Luckily, he could speak English and understood what I told him. The only
problem was that I only had enough money for a coffee, not for a taxi to the next town. When I
explained, the driver believed me, and I promised to pay him when we got there. He drove as fast
as he could to the castle, and just as we arrived, we saw the bus arriving, too. I jumped out of the
taxi and onto the bus, because I thought my wife would be really worried. But there she was, still
asleep. I couldn’t believe it. As I was looking for money to pay the driver, she woke up and said,
‘Be a dear and get me a coffee, please.’

1.
A: Hello?
B: Hi, Fred. Are you coming to my get-together on Saturday? It’s going to be fun.
A: I’d like to, but it’s a long drive. I have to be somewhere in the morning, and I don’t want to
drive all the way back home late at night.
B: What? You have to come! Everyone is expecting you.
A: Maybe I can find a cheap hotel near your house, and leave early in the morning.
B: What are you talking about? I can put you up.
A: But you must have a full house.
B: We’ll find some space.
A: Are you sure?
B: Of course!
2.
A: So, what do you think of the game?
B: It’s all right, I suppose. I think 2-2 is a good result for United.
A: No way! United should win this match.
B: Yeah, but they aren’t playing well, at all.
A: You’re right. And Jameson has had a terrible game. What a disappointment!
B: You can say that again.
A: I hope United sells him at the end of the season.
B: It would be a bad decision to keep him.
3.
A: Hi, Roger. Did you have a nice morning?
B: Yeah, I went for a walk in the city centre. I had a few things to do, and I also went to the
bank.
A: What for? Don’t you use Internet banking?
B: Yeah, but I needed to withdraw some cash, and the cash machine near me is broken. Of
course there are other machines in the area which I could have gone to, but my sister wants
to open an account, and I wanted to get a few brochures for her.
A: Well, it was a nice morning for a walk anyway.
B: Exactly.
4.
A: Hello, how are you today?
B: Not good. I’m in a lot of pain.
A: Have you been to see a doctor?
B: No, I just need some painkillers. Some strong ones, please.
A: Are you sure? It looks like you need a dentist.
B: Yes. I’ve booked an appointment for tomorrow morning, but until then...
A: OK, I understand. Let me see what I have for you.
