Text 2 M: Excuse me for being late. W: Never mind. You?re not too late. The film will start at 7:30. We still have five minutes to go. Text 3 W: Would you mind helping me move the sofa? M: Help you? Can’t you see I have my hands full with all this typing. Text 4 M: Hi, can I speak with Mr. Johnson, please? W: He?s out with our son. He?ll be back later on tonight. Can I take a message? Text 5 W: I hope we have a good harvest this year. M: Me too. But it hasn?t rained very often. The fields haven?t gotten too much water. Text 6 M: Why did your parents make you stay at home yesterday evening, Mary? W: They wanted to go out, and so they made me look after my baby sister. M: Didn?t you mind doing it? W: No, I didn?t. My sister was very good and I did quite a lot of homework. M: Didn?t you even want to go to the cinema? W: Not really. I watched TV for an hour. M: What was on TV last night? W: Boxing. It was excellent. M: Oh, I enjoy watching boxing on TV, too. What a pity? I missed it last night. W: What did you do last night, John? M: I went to a concert. Text 7 W: I?m planning a dinner party. M: That sounds fun. W: Yeah. But I haven?t figured out exactly what to serve. Can you help me? M: Sure. How many people have you invited? W: Six. I was thinking of having a chicken. M: That?s a good idea. Will you roast it? W: Yeah, probably with garlic and potatoes. Do you think people will be pleased with that? M: Of course! What side dishes do you plan to make? W: Well, in addition to potatoes, I?ll also make a salad. M: Will you serve bread? W: I could put out bread and cheese before the meal …? But I?m not sure about dessert. Should I make it or buy it? M: Do you like baking? W: Not really. M: You might as well buy it, then. There?s a shop near here that makes delicious pies. Text 8 W: What a great day, isn?t it? M: I guess so. I didn?t notice. I feel terrible because I watched television until midnight last night. W: Midnight? Did you watch so late because you were bored? I usually watch TV only if I have nothing better to do. M: Bored? No, I was unhappy because I left my meal tickets in the dining room. There were more than fifty dollars worth of meal tickets. W: So, did watching TV make you feel better? M: Well, I felt a bit better while I was watching. You know, it took my mind off my troubles. But after I turned the TV off, I just felt even worse with myself for wasting so much time. W: I?ve had that feeling before. Text 9 M: Excuse me, madam. Can you spare me some change, please? W: Uh … why are you living on the street? M: Oh, we actually share a room with another family. The problem is that my wife is disabled and cannot work, but the government won?t help her right away. W: Why don?t you get a job? M: My boss stole a lot of money from all his workers and left town. We got left with nothing. I?ve been looking for a new job every day, but we need to eat. That?s why I?m here. W: That?s awful. Here?s ten dollars … And here?s my card. We need someone to clean my office building in the evenings. It?s not much money, but it?s a start. Come by tomorrow morning at nine, okay? M: Oh, thank you so much for your kindness! I won?t let you down! Text 10 Walt has two daughters. He took them everywhere. They liked to go to amusement parks.
