F: * Hi, it’s Victoria. I’m really sorry about this but I’m going to have to cancel our trip to the cinemathis evening with you and your cousin. My aunt is in hospital and I’m going to see how she is withmy mum. Please go ahead without me if you want to – but if not, do you fancy going on Fridaynight instead? I know the comedy film won’t still be showing by then, but how about the thriller?It’s got your favourite actor in – can’t remember his name. I know you want to see that romance aswell but I’m not really into those. Anyway, call me back! **

M: * Are you going out with the cycling club this afternoon? They’re going on a ride.

F: To the mountains! I need to improve my fitness and that would be a great way to do it. It’s steep upthere, though – I won’t be able to keep up. Cycling along the river is more my kind of thing – not astough. I’ll start doing hill climbs on the ride they’re planning next week. What about you? I guessyou won’t be going cycling today – haven’t you got a  swimming class?

M: You mean basketball. I started last month, and I’m going to try tennis soon, too. 

F: Wow! That sounds great! **

3. 

M: * Can I help you, madam?
F: Oh, yes please. I need a new phone, and I can’t decide between these two. I’ve heard of the Saturn brand, but I don’t know this one, Crystal. Is it a good make?

M: Absolutely, it’s had very good reviews, and it’s also slightly cheaper. But the bestseller is the other one, in fact.

F: OK, that’s interesting. Well ... I think I’ll go for the Crystal phone, as it’s more stylish, even thoughI’m not quite so keen on the colour ...

M: Right. Well, if you’d like to come over to the till, I’ll get you one in a box. **

4. 

M: * In the past when people wanted to gain an understanding of the world, they would have to spendtime looking at books and maps. When the internet came along, it hugely improved our knowledgeof geography, in terms of where countries and seas are located. But this isn’t all it did. It also gaveus the opportunity to find out about the climates, people and landscapes of the world, too. Whatwe’re going to do this week is concentrate not on a physical aspect of geography, but on culture.Each of you will do some research and report back to the class what you’ve found out. **
