W: Look John, would you mind leaving the room for a minute? There’s something I need to discuss with Pete here.
M: Of course not. I’m feeling a bit hungry anyway. I just want to go out for something to eat.
(Text 2)
W: How much are the tickets for the match?
M: The cheapest are ￡21 and the next ones are ￡24.
W: That’s not bad. Last time I paid ￡28. We won’t save much if we get two cheaper tickets.
M: That’s true. Let’s go for the more expensive ones then.
(Text 3)
W: Hello? David? Thank goodness, you turned your cell phone on. I locked my keys in the car. Can you wait about an hour?
I called the repairman and he’s on his way.
M: Don’t worry, then. I’ll just take a taxi.
W: I’m really sorry.
(Text 4)
M: Pardon me, would it be possible to get a table by the window? My co-workers and I are celebrating a colleague’s
promotion, and we’d like the nicest view.
W: Let me check the reservation book to make sure that the table is free.
M: OK.
(Text 5)
M: We’re moving very slowly again now. I’m going to miss my meeting if we don’t speed up soon.
W: Yes, we seem to be late most days at the moment.
(Text 6)
M: Is this the T-shirt with tiny computers?
W: Yeah, tiny computers are put into your T-shirt, and they do things like checking air temperature, switching lights on and
off, taking phone calls for you.
M: They can take phone calls?
W: Yeah.
M: What, through your shirt? You’re joking!
(Text 7)
M: Hello, Erin. What are you up to?
W: Well, I want to plan for a trip this year and I’m just thinking about when I should take my holidays.
M: I see. I guess the obvious times are Easter or around Christmas and New Year’s.
W: Um … So when is Easter this year?
M: Let me see. April the eighth. So Good Friday is April the sixth and Easter Monday is April the ninth. You could take a
trip during that holiday then.
W: Sounds good.

M: Hello.
W: Hello. 168 Motel Reception. What can I do for you?
M: This is the room 8658. I want to know how I can get to the Art Museum.
W: You can take Bus 5, and the bus station is across the street from the hotel. The driver will tell you which station to get
off.
M: Yes, but I’ll drive my own car.
W: Oh, then you drive along the street in front of our hotel, turn right at the third turning, and then take the first left. Keep
straight on until you see the road sign that says “Art Museum”, and then you follow the sign. It will direct you to the Art
Museum. It is behind a bank.
M: OK. Thank you.
W: You’re welcome.

W: Hello. Care for the Community. How can I help you?
M: Oh, good morning. I’m interested in doing some part-time work for your organization. My name is Philippa Tailor. I’m a
student at Brookfields University.
W: Good morning, Philippa. When would you be available to work? Days? Evenings?
M: Well, days would be difficult, as I have classes then. I was thinking maybe a couple of evenings a week, or maybe three.
But no more than that.
W: OK. Philippa, why are you interested in working for us?
M: Well, I major in Social Care Studies. I’m hoping to apply for a job in social care when I graduate, and this would give
me some work experience in this field.
W: Great. And what makes you suitable for this kind of work, do you think?
M: Well, I have very good communication skills. That’s my strong point, I think. And I’m a good listener. Sometimes you
can help by just listening, you know.
W: I agree. Hmm, right. What I’d like to do, if it’s OK with you, is fix an appointment so we can meet and talk about this
some more. It wouldn’t be anything formal, not an interview or anything like that. Er, how are you fixed for Tuesday 9th
September at 4:30?
M: Ah, I’m sorry. I have a lesson then. Would Wednesday be possible?
W: The 10th? Yes, that would be fine.

W: This summer I took part in a really interesting project. It’s called One-Day Clean-up and its aim is to clear the world’s
natural environments of rubbish. I heard about its work from my neighbors who used to take part some years ago. I
thought it would be fun and persuaded a couple of my cousins to come along with me. But it wouldn’t matter if you took part on your own. You’d soon make friends with other people there. Most of the people there were teenagers. We were a very international group in my team. Over half of the people there were from Australia, like me, but there were also people from China, Thailand and the USA. Most teams were working on the south coast of the country, but mine was working on the east. We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find on the seaside. It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the environment. I’m determined now to get my family to recycle as much as possible.
It’ll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals. So, if you’d like to join me taking part in this Day next year, it’ll be on January 11th. The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers. There’ll be a day later in the year on cleaning up woodlands.
