1   What does the woman order?

Man:   Are you ready to order?

Woman:   The burger looks good. Does it come with anything?

Man:   You can have it with salad or chips. If you’d like both, it’s a bit extra.

Woman:   I’ll do that. I don’t mind paying a bit more.

2   What size boots is the woman going to try on next?

Woman:   Do you have these boots in a bigger size? I’ve tried them in a thirty-seven, but they’re too small.

Man:   Do you want to try them in a thirty-eight or a thirty-nine? I can get them for you.

Woman:   I think the thirty-nine will be too big.

Man:   OK. I’ll be back in a moment.

3   Where will the man get off the bus?

Man:   I’m going to the college. Where should I get off the bus?

Woman:   There’s a stop by the supermarket and another next to the park. They’re both near the college.

Man:   I’ve got plenty of time, so the stop by the park is best. I can go for a walk first before I go to the college.

Woman:   OK, I’ll tell you when we get there.

4   How many books does the boy want to borrow now?

Boy:   Can I borrow these three books, please?

Woman:   Let me see. You have already borrowed six books and you can’t borrow more than eight.

Woman:   OK, please return those books first before you borrow any more.

Mark:   He’s still there but he’s not a receptionist any more.

Woman:   Really? Why not? He was really good at it!

Mark:   I know! He’s a waiter at the moment, and he hopes to be a chef one day, because he really loves cooking.

Emily:   Did you have a good weekend, John? I heard you went on a sailing trip.

John:   It was too expensive, so I just fishing. I saw Pete on his bike a lot. He went all the way to the beach! What did you do, Emily?

Emily:   I played tennis with my brother. I wanted to play basketball, but I couldn’t find anyone to play with.

John:   Why didn’t you ask Jenny? Oh no, that’s right, she was busy at the park. There was a skateboarding competition.

Emily:   I hope she won a prize. Did you hear about Joe? He broke his leg playing football!

John:   Oh no, that will stop him going swimming with me next weekend!

Emily:   Are you going to the beach? I’ll come with you – I love it there.

John:   OK, we can ask Andy as well. He played a lot of table-tennis this weekend, but he says he wants to do something outside next weekend.

Emily:   Great, I’ll ask him if he wants to come. We can go to East Beach.

Suzy:   A new clothes shop opened in the town last week. I went there yesterday and I’m going back again today!

Woman:   Do you mean the one near your college, Suzy?

Suzy:   That’s been there a long time, in fact they’re opening another one in the shopping centre. The one I’m talking about is across the road from the newsagent’s.

Woman:   What does it sell?

Suzy:   It sells shoes and boots as well as clothes. The only thing missing is bags!

Woman:   What time does it open?

Suzy:   It’s normally open from ten ‘til six, but it stays open until eight p.m. on a Thursday.

Woman:   So, is it open every day of the week? I’d like to go on Tuesday.

Suzy:   That’s fine. The only day it’s closed at the moment is Monday, but it will open every day if it’s popular enough.

Woman:   Oh, OK. I’m looking for some work. Do they need any staff?

Suzy:   Yes, they need shop assistants. The sign in the window says, if you are interested, go in and talk to the manager. Don’t phone, because they’re very busy.

Woman:   Oh great, I’ll just write that down. Thanks, Suzy.

We’re very lucky to have a modern sports centre for you to use. It’s not expensive. You only pay seventy-nine pounds to become a member of the sports centre for twelve months, or you can pay six pounds seventy each time you go. We also have a café which is open on weekdays from ten a.m. to three p.m. You’ll meet your teachers at four p.m. today to get more information about your course but if you have any questions about the college, you can speak to the receptionist, Mrs Myatt – that’s M-Y-A-double T. She is here from Monday to Friday but if you can’t come in, you can call her on double nine-three-six-five-four-one-two-seven-o-four. When you come back on Wednesday, you’ll need to give us a photo. We need that for your student ID card. Those will be ready for you to collect next Friday.
