Morning everyone. As you know, you all have the possibility to join Mr Shelley’s piano lessons, starting from next week. That’s S H E L L E Y. You can join the lessons if you have a piano at home, but keyboards are OK too.

Lessons are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but on Wednesday you already have the French course with Mrs Dufour, so your day will definitely be Tuesday.

Now, the price. A single lesson for two students is £25 pounds an hour or £15 for half an hour. I suggest you start with the one-hour lesson, then once you know the basics you can do half an hour. You must go to Mr Shelley’s house which is very close to Queen’s Square. The exact address is 105 Main Street. Remember to call him first, his number is 0753 715380. Did you get it right? I’ll stay it again: 0753 715380. The best time to call him is between six and nine.

Is that clear to everyone?

Ravi:   Hey, Jed, how about going to the cinema on Sunday?

Jed:   OK. What shall we see? How about that new comedy?

Ravi:   Actually, I want to see the horror film.

Jed:   Oh no, I hate scary films. The sci-fi one sounds good, though.

Ravi:   Good idea. Let’s see that.

Jed:   Is it on at the cinema near the market?

Ravi:   No, that cinema is shut at the moment. It’s also not on at the cinema opposite the station.

Jed:   So, let’s go to the cinema in the shopping centre. How are you getting there?

Ravi:   You can take the train, but there are lots of buses from outside my house.

Jed:   OK. I can walk to your house and get the bus with you. What time shall I meet you?

Ravi:   Let me think. The film starts at 6.15 p.m. It takes about 20 minutes to get there. So come to my house at twenty to six.

Jed:   OK. How much money are you taking? Tickets cost five pounds fifty, right?

Ravi:   No, they’re six pounds fifty but I’ll take ten pounds so I can get a drink and a snack too.

Jed:   Right, see you Sunday, then.

16   You will hear a mother talking to her son. Where are they going to eat on Sunday?

A:   How about going to the new pizza restaurant near the station on Sunday?

B:   But aren’t grandma and granddad having lunch with us at home?

A:   That’s on Saturday: it’s your father’s birthday, don’t you remember? We’re having a surprise dinner party with them.

B:   Oh, you’re right. Then we can go. I can’t wait: I love pizza!

17   You will hear two friends talking. When does the football match start?

A:   Hurry up, Amanda. It’s already quarter past six and the match begins in 45 minutes.

B:   Don’t worry, Sam. Roger and his father are going there by car. I asked him if he can drive us there, too. So we’ll be there by six forty-five.

A:   Good. So we’ll have time to buy some drinks as well before it starts at seven.

18   You will hear a girl, Sue, talking to her friend. What is she doing in the afternoon?

A:   Hi, Sue. Where have you been?

B:   I was in the park with my aunt’s dog. I always work as a dog-sitter on Saturday mornings.

A:   Cool! Shall we go to the cinema after lunch?

B:   OK, but we’ll have to go to the 2.30 show because I’m having dinner at my grandfather’s this evening.

19   You will hear a man and a woman talking about buying a TV. What size do they want to buy?

A:   Cindy, how about this TV on the second shelf? It looks perfect for the kitchen.

B:   I don’t know. It looks as large as the one we have in the living room… it might be too big for the cupboard near the fridge.

A:   Maybe you’re right. Let’s get a smaller one. We need more space to cook in the kitchen.

20   You will hear a boy talking to his friend. What is he going to buy to his grandmother?

A:   What shall I get my grandmother for her birthday?

B:   Well, she really loves shoes. Why don’t you buy the pair near the gloves in that shop window?

A:   I’m not sure about her size…

B:   Then I’m sure she’ll love these: she always wears jewellery, doesn’t she? And she has a necklace that goes with them, too.

Nick:   I asked for one, but my mum said it was too expensive, so he bought me a skateboard.

Tina:   What did your sister get you this year? Another T-shirt?

Nick:   No, actually she gave me this jacket I’m wearing. What do you think?

Tina:   Nice! You usually get a book from your aunt, don’t you?

Nick:   Well, she bought me a book. I haven’t read it yet.
