Exercise 3
Girl:

Jake, have you got some free time today?
I’m doing a school project about people’s
favourite online games. I’d like to ask you
some questions.

Boy:

OK, sure. I’m free now, so go ahead.

Girl:

Thanks! So which game do you like the
best?

Boy:

Well, I’ve got a new one called Football Fan
and another called Animal Games, but the
one I like the most is Karate King. It’s really
fun.

Girl:

So where did you get the game? From the
shop that you usually go to?

Boy:

No, my grandparents gave it to me for
being so hard-working at school! But
usually I buy games online.

Girl:

So how do you play your games? On a
laptop?

Boy:

No, the laptop belongs to my parents.
But they gave me a new games console
for my birthday, so that’s what I play on.
Sometimes I’ll use my smartphone, but
then after that I’ve often got no battery!

Girl:

So what’s the best thing about your
favourite game? Is it the colour in the
pictures?

Boy:

Well, there’s lots of colour, but that’s not
so important to me. What’s great is how
fast the people move in the game. They
don’t look like real people, though.

Girl:

And how about the way they speak? That’s
important too, isn’t it?

Boy:

Yes, and the people who speak are all
famous, so that’s great. On some other
games the speaking sounds funny, or it’s all
by the same person.

Girl:

And I guess you’re a really good player,
aren’t you?

Boy :

Well, I’m OK, but my friend Kerim is better.
He wins quite a lot, actually, and he often
beats other players online, too. But I still
really like playing with him. He’s more fun
than my older brother!

Exercise 3
Woman:

Hi Mark! How was your school trip to the

museum?

Boy:

Great thanks, Mum. Really interesting!

Woman:

How was the train journey?

Boy:

Oh, there was a problem with the trains, so
we went by bus, and we met our History
teacher there. He came in his car.

Woman:

So did you have enough time in the

museum?

Boy:

Well, the journey there took about an hour,
so we only had two hours to look around
inside the museum. But we did have half
an hour in the park, so that was good.

Woman:

Did you fi nd out anything for your school

project – how people in our town lived a
long time ago?

Boy:

Yes, and we can choose what we write
about, because it’s a really big subject! We
can write about the clothes that people
used to wear, or where they used to live.
I’m more interested in what they used to
eat, so that’s what I’ve chosen to write
about.

Woman:

And did you see anything that you really

liked?

Boy:

Let’s see … some old silver rings. They
were OK. Oh, and there were some bronze
horses from 100 years ago. They were
beautiful. The gold coins in the museum
weren’t very interesting, but I want to go
back soon and look at some of the old
maps there.

Woman:

And what did you have for lunch?

Boy:

We went to a restaurant near the museum.
The food was fantastic, especially fi sh and
chips, so I had that. Most people had pizza,
but our teacher just had a salad.

Woman:

Maybe he wasn’t hungry. So did you buy

anything?

Boy:

Yes, from the souvenir shop. They had
some interesting books, so I bought one.

My friend Sam got a bag, and he bought
me some pencils!

Woman:

Great!

Girl:

Well, fi lms usually start at quarter past
six in the evening and fi nish around
nine o’clock, don’t they? But I have to be
home by eight o’clock. I’m not allowed to
stay out later.

Boy:

You’re kidding! Well, then we should go to
the early fi lm – at half past three. There’ll
be a lot of people in the cinema then, but
we’ll have time for a pizza after it fi nishes.

Girl:

Great idea.

Boy:

So which cinema are we going to?

Girl:

The Regal, in the centre of town. It’s a nice
cinema but the music’s always too loud.

Boy:

I don’t agree. I like it! But it’s always cold
there.

Girl:

That’s true. I think we’d better wear our
coats! But I haven’t got much money. Do
the tickets cost a lot there?

Boy:

That’s OK – I’ve just got some birthday
money from my grandma! I can buy the
tickets.

Exercise 3
Boy:

Hi Sarah. I’m just ringing to check about
your birthday trip up to the top of the
Skyhigh Building next week,

Girl:

Oh, hi Tom. Yes, it’s next week, but my
dad’s decided to change the day. He hasn’t
got enough time to take us on Wednesday,
so it’s now on Thursday instead. Friday
would be better, really, but there aren’t any
tickets left for that day. Is that OK?

Boy:

Yeah, sure. So what should we take with
us?

Girl:

Well, we’ll bring some food for lunch, and
I’ll have my camera with me, but we can
go out into the garden on the roof, so
you’ll need a jumper. The information we
got says that it can be cold up there – but
our photos will be brilliant!

Boy:

Yeah, we’ll be really high up! What do you
think it will be like?

Girl:

Well, everyone who’s been to the roof says
it’s incredibly exciting, but I think it’ll be a
bit frightening. It’s such a long way down!
And my brother says it’ll be boring, but
then he says that about everything …

Boy:

And what’s on the top fl oor of the
building?

Exercise 7
Man:

For her birthday, Sarah got a new digital
camera. She took it to the park near the
river in her town, to do some photography.
She wanted some creative pictures of
the fl owers and birds there for her school
project. But she found there were a lot
of people in the park, so it was diffi cult
to use her camera. Then she found she
couldn’t turn the camera on! The battery
wasn’t working because she forgot to plug
it into the charger before she left home.
So she sat in the café for a while and had
a drink. Luckily, just then her friend Jess
walked into the café. She gave Sarah her
smartphone to take some photos and
Sarah got some brilliant pictures of fl owers.
Her teacher was very pleased!

Exercise 3
Boy:

Hi Sarah. Did you go to the cinema at the
weekend?

Girl:

Yes, John. I saw Cameo . My friends said it
was silly, but I thought it was brilliant. It
wasn’t very funny, but that didn’t matter.

Boy:

So was it a science fi ction fi lm? I know you
like those.

Girl:

Yes, it was. They’re the type of fi lm I
like the best. They don’t always have a
very clever plot, and the characters are
sometimes a bit silly, but the special
effects are amazing every time.

Boy:

OK, what’s on at the cinema this week,
then?

Girl:

Well, there’s a very funny fi lm called
Windows . Everyone says it’s brilliant. Then
there’s an animated fi lm, or a thriller one
with plenty of action, so there’s a lot to
choose from.

Boy:

Well, let’s go and see Windows . Why do
people say it’s so good?

Girl:

Well, my friend says the ending is very
clever, and that the director is fantastic,
but the problem is that the main star is
Jake Smith and I can’t stand him. But I’d
like to see it anyway – it’ll be a laugh!

Boy:

OK, let’s try it. But what time shall we go?

Girl:

Well, I thought there was a wonderful
restaurant, but Dad says that’s on the 99 th
fl oor. The top fl oor is all offi ces, which is a
bit boring.

Boy:

Well, I thought it was all fl ats, and that’s
not very exciting, either. So what about
the tickets? I should give you some money
for mine.

Girl:

Oh, no – it’s my birthday treat and my
dad’s paying! But the tickets cost a bit
more than other tourist places in the city.
I know it’s an amazing place to visit, but I
don’t think it should cost so much money.

Boy:

Well, thanks very much to your dad! So
what are we going to do after the visit?

Girl:

Well, Dad thinks we’ll be hungry by then,
so he’s taking us to a place he knows to
get some drinks and snacks – it’s a little
café. I’m not sure the park is a good idea.
It’s going to be a bit too cold. Oh, and
by the way, don’t forget our cinema trip
on Saturday!

Boy:

No, I won’t! OK, thanks, Sarah!

Exercise 7
Woman:

Adam and his friend Paul went into the

town centre last week to buy some new
DVDs. They were walking along the street
when Adam fell and cut himself on his arm.
Paul didn’t really know what to do, but a
woman who was working in a shop came
out and helped them. She cleaned Adam’s
arm and put a plaster on it. Then she gave
them both some lemonade, and they sat
down outside the shop for a few minutes.
When Adam felt better, they caught the
bus to Adam’s home and watched one of
their new DVDs. It was a really brilliant
sci-fi fi lm, so Adam soon forgot all about
his arm!
