B: Look, the taxi’s there in front of the library. Let’s go back quickly.
2 What will the girl eat?
A: What are you going to eat? Did you have the chicken last time?

A: Oh right. I’ve already had salad for lunch today so… I’m going to have fish now.

3 What is the weather like now?

B: Thanks, Anna.
5 What sport are these students talking about?

Hello everybody. I’m going to give you some information about tomorrow’s school boat race. All racers must be at the meeting point at ten o’clock because the race will begin at half past ten. All you need to wear is a pair of shorts. You shouldn’t wear sunglasses because you may lose them during the race.
Remember that the race is only for students aged 10 to 15. The swimming race for younger children will take place on Friday.
There are different prizes for each race. In the school boat race, for those who win the first prize there is a new surfboard, and those who come second and third will get a book on sailing each. Don’t be sad if you don’t win, though: everybody who takes part in the race will get a T-shirt as a souvenir. If you haven’t signed up, now just tell me and I will add you to the list.

Nelly: Hey Bart: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where were you last month?
Bart: Hi Nelly, I was on holiday in Italy with my parents. My uncle Jeff lives there so we stayed at his house. Why are you wearing a school uniform?
Nelly: Well, I can’t wear my own clothes any more like at our old school. I changed school last term when I moved to a different part of the town. I told you, didn’t I?
Bart: Yes, but I didn’t know you have to wear a uniform now. That must be awful!
Nelly: Oh I don’t know. It’s not such a bad thing, in my opinion.
Bart: But don’t you want to wear the clothes you choose?
Nelly: Yes, but… the good thing is that I don’t have to think about what I have to wear every morning.
Bart: Well, maybe… but I wouldn’t like to wear a uniform anyway. I don’t like looking like other people. I want to be different!
Nelly: I don’t mind wearing a uniform but I miss wearing my clothes at school sometimes, of course…
Bart: I’m sure you do… but this way you don’t need to buy so many clothes anymore. You’re right, school uniforms aren’t so bad at all!
