1 Which book does David want to buy?
Woman: Look at this book, David. It’s about sailing on the lakes in Switzerland.
Man: Wonderful! But I prefer this one. I’d like to learn to ski next year. I think I’ll buy it.
Woman: And this book about swimming is great, too. Look at the photos!
Man: Oh yes. But that sport doesn’t interest me really, Ellie.
2 What size sweater does the girl want?
Man: Can I help you?
Girl: Yes, please. I’d like this sweater, but you’ve only got a size 44 here. Have you got a size 40?
Man: I’ve got that sweater in a size 42… or there’s this other one in your size. It’s really nice.
Girl: No. I wanted the other one. What a pity!
3 What’s Robert doing now?
Woman: Hello, Robert! It’s Emma. Are you busy today?
Man: Hi! I am at the moment. I wrote lots of emails earlier and now I’m reading that story for my project. Why?
Woman: Well, I’ve got that DVD you wanted to watch.
Man: Great! I’ll come round in about an hour.
4 How much will the man’s mineral water cost?
Man: I’d like one of those litre bottles of mineral water, please.
Woman: Which one? There’s Allspring. That one’s €3.25, or our most popular which costs €3.95 …
Man: But that other one’s only €2.75, isn’t it? I’ll take that one, please.
Woman: OK.
5 Where’s the magazine now?
Dad: Have you seen that travel magazine, Sophie? It was next to the TV.
Sophie: Yes, it’s good isn’t it, Dad? I was reading it in bed last night. There are some great photos in it. I’ll go and get it.
Dad: Thanks. I want to take it with me to read on the train today.
Sophie: Oh, OK!

Anna: Are you coming on Mr Fox’s school trip tomorrow, Paul?
Paul: Where? I haven’t been in class. I’ve been ill.
Anna: Oh! We’re going to meet some journalists – the ones that write the sports pages in the newspaper.
Paul: At the stadium?
Anna: No, in their city office!
Paul: Are we going there on the underground?
Anna: It’s quicker that way, yes. I prefer travelling by bus or coach because you can look at all the shops on the way.
Paul: What time are we leaving?
Anna: I’ll be at the school gates at about 8.20 because my dad always brings me, but we don’t have to be there until half past. I don’t mind waiting outside for ten minutes.
Paul: OK. Do we have to bring anything? What about project work?
Anna: No, but Mr Fox said we should bring our mobiles. He doesn’t want to lose anyone! And I might take a raincoat with me.
Paul: Right.
Anna: And we have to pay Mr Fox £8.25. That includes lunch which is £5.75. I’m going to take one pound extra.
Paul: What for?
Anna: An ice cream!
