Track 12

Molly: Hi, Jack!

Jack: Hi, Molly.

Molly: You look really tired. What's the matter?

Jack: I feel awful. I've got earache. It's really sore. I couldn't sleep last night and now I can't hear anything.

Molly: Can you hear me?

Jack: Yes, I can. Ha. Ha. I feel sick, too.

Molly: Have you eaten something strange this morning?

Jack: No, I haven't eaten anything. Well, just two chocolate biscuits and an orange juice for breakfast.

Molly: You shouldn't eat chocolate if you feel sick! And I don't think orange juice is a good idea when you've got a sore stomach.

Jack: OK, OK! I just feel … terrible.

Molly: Well, you shouldn't be at school today.

Jack: I know. I'm going to go home after lunch.

Molly: You should go to the doctor if you've got earache.

Jack: But I feel too sick to walk to the doctor's.

Molly: You should take a taxi.

Jack: No way! Taxis cost a bomb. I'll just go straight home and straight to bed. I think I'll have an ice cream for lunch first though. I do feel a little bit hungry now …

Molly: Oh, Jack!

Track 13

Mum: Ryan, would you prefer pizza or burger for lunch?

Ryan: Oh, I'd prefer pizza, please Mum.

Mum: OK. And would you rather have chips or salad with it?

Ryan: Well … salad is more healthy, but I'd rather have chips.

Mum: OK, but I'm going to have salad. Now, we can eat here in the kitchen … but I'd like to eat outdoors in the garden. It's nice and warm outside.

Ryan: No, it's too hot for me. I'd prefer to eat indoors if that's OK.

Mum: Of course. You can lay the table for me. Or would you prefer to empty the dishwasher?

Ryan: Er ... Neither to be honest!

Mum: Ryan!

Ryan: OK, OK. I'll lay the table!

Narrator: Ryan is now with his friend, Beth.

Ryan: Hi, Beth. How are you? What are you reading there?

Beth: I'm reading a magazine questionnaire. It's all about choices. Listen, I'll ask you some of the questions.

Ryan: OK, go on.

Beth: Number one. If you have to contact someone, would you prefer to write a letter or write an email?

Ryan: Well, that depends. I'd prefer to write an email to friends. But, if I'm going to write to my grandad, for example, I'd rather write a letter. Mainly because he doesn't have a computer!

Beth: OK. What about a girlfriend?

Ryan: Oh, a letter. It's more romantic!

Beth: Now, if you want to arrange to go out, would you rather text your friends or call them?

Ryan: I'd rather call them. I hate sending texts! It's slow and it's boring. You have to wait for an answer.

Beth: OK, here's another. Would you rather buy a CD or download it from the Internet?

Ryan: That's tricky because I like having CDs. But I'd rather download it I think, it's much cheaper and it's quick.
