1. M: Hi, the woman so disappointed? W: Hi. Did you remember to buy the tickets? M: Well, I remember, but they were sold out. W: Oh, no. I was really looking forward to it. It’s the last night that the play is on. 2. M: Have you got something bigger? W: That’s the last one we’ve got, I’m afraid. M: I’ll leave it, thanks. 3. W: Why so early? M: Early? It’s 3 o’clock now. School starts at 8:45 in the morning and ends at 3 in the afternoon. W: In my country, we go to school from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. M: Gosh! 4. M: Excuse me, can you tell me when the next us leaves for the airport. W: It leaves in three minutes. If you run, you might catch it. M: Thank you. I will try. 5. W: What have you got behind your back? No, don’t tell me----chocolates! M: No, these! W: Oh, they are lovely, and my favorite color roses too! Thank you! 6. W: Gosh! All these people, and I don’t know any of them! M: Don’t worry! First things first. What would you like to drink? W: A glass of wine, please. Thank you. Could you tell me one or two names? M: Of course. Right. Can you see that man over there, sitting at the table? His name’s Paul and he’s really nice. He’s musician and he works in LA. W: sorry, where? M: Los Angeles. W: Uh huh. M: And he’s talking to Kathy. She’s on the other side of the table. She’s wearing a red and white T-shirt. She runs a hotel in London, a very rich woman indeed. Come on, I’ll introduce you. W: Thanks. 7. M: So, Susan, do you have anything planned for this Saturday? W: Uh, I’m kind of busy. Why do you ask?
M: Oh, I was wondering if you’d like to get together and do something, like catching a movie or taking a walk down by the lake. W: I’d love to, but I’m really going to be busy all day on Saturday. M: What do you have going on that day? W: First, my mom asked me to help clean the house in the morning, and then I have to see my doctor at 12:30. I can’t miss that. M: Well, what about after that? W: Well, I’m going to be running around all day. After seeing the doctor, I need to meet Julie at 2:00 to help her with her science project that’s due on Monday morning at school. M: Okay, but are you free after that? W: Hardly. Then I have to pick up my brother from basketball practice at 4:30, and my mom asked me to get dinner ready for the family at 5:30. Then, I have to clean the dishes and finish doing my history homework. Who knows how long that’ll take. M: Wow, sounds like you’re going to have a full day. Hey listen, why don’t I come over later in the evening, and we can play a game or something. W: Sounds good, but give me a call before you come. My mom might try to come up with something else for me to do. 8. W: So, how are things going, Steve? M: Well, to be honest, Cala, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon. I thought I’d get better, but I feel worse than before. And I’m really worried because I’ve got an exam on Friday, so I have to be better by then. W: Well, what seems to be the problem? M: Well, the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold medicine to take care of my fever. I’m surprised to take the medicine three a day after eating, but it doesn’t seem to help. He also told me to stay in bed for a day or so, but I’m so busy these days. W: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. My mom has some very good Chinese medicine. M: Oh, no thanks. W: Ah, come on! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom’s special tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me. You’ll be up and dancing around in no time. M: Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job. W: Great, I’ll come by your place at 7:30. See you then. 9. W: Hey Taxi! Ah great, thanks for pulling over. M: Where to? W: Well, I’m going to the National Museum of Art, and… M: Sure, Get in. No problem. Hang on! W: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there? M: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes. W: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking , but do you have any idea how much will it be? M: OH, it shouldn’t be more than 18 dollars… not including a …uh-hum… a tip of course. W: Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes? M: Well, I would guess around 6:00 o’clock. W: Uh, do you have the time? M: Yeah. It’s half past four. W: Thanks. 10. John was a little boy from the town who went to spend a holiday on a farm. He hadn’t been to a farm before, and this was the first time in his life that he had seen such animals as goats and sheep, pigs and cows. He wanted to see everything. The first morning he got up almost before daylight to watch the farmer milk the cows. Then he wanted to help feed the other animals. The farmer gave him a lamb and told John he must take good care of it, as its mother had died. John also learnt to feed the chickens and collect the eggs. He liked the pigs too, and spent many hours at their sty just watching them. At last the day came when John had to go back to his home in London. That was a very unhappy day for him. He went with the farmer to see all the animals, and said good-bye to every one of them. He felt sure they understood him, though they could say nothing to him. Finally, he had to leave his lamb. This made him more unhappy still, but the farmer offered to look after the little animal himself until John could come back on another visit, which they all hoped would be quite soon.
