1.You’re looking well, David have you been to the gym a lot recently or something? Well I joined a gym earlier this year, but I stopped going it was just too difficult. And expensive, too! I’ve done a lot of swimming instead and I feel much better for it! It shows I’m thinking of taking up tennis again. Would you be interested in a game one day? You used to be quite good, didn’t you? Well, I haven’t played for a long time. Well I haven’t played for a long time but……..why not?

2. Suzie? It’s Emma we’ve got to make some paper flowers so the classroom looks nice for the end – of – term party. Can you come to my home this evening to help me do it? There’s some paint left over from last time. But I can’t find any brushes have you got one? Bring it if you have and if we have a pair of scissors each, we can work faster so don’t forget yours we’ll need coloured paper but I’m getting that from college. See you around six.

3. Look, it’s your present Just choose a T- shirt and then you can have anything you like printed on it. They’ve got three types a picture like this one with boats on, or three are some with words and this type has shapes on it well I really don’t like writing – it makes me feel like an advertisement and those pictures are awful right then I know which one you’ll choose

4.How was your camping holiday in Africa? Oh, fantastic we saw all sorts of wildlife you know lots of lions and all that wasn’t it frightening with all those animals so close to your tent? Not really to be honest, what scrared me most were the bats they flew so close at night I thought I’d be frightened of all the other things like elephants but in the end I wasn’t because we only saw them during the day and they were mostly quite a long way away.

5.Hello Mary could you come and collect me? I went to a client’s house by taxi and I can’t get one back Sure where are you exatly? You know the bridge over the river on the North Road? If you go over that and take the first left, you see a bar on the right. I’ll be waiting there, I’m actually in the farmhouse down the road from there at the moment Mrs Collins has been kind enough to let me use her phone. Fine see you in the bar soon.

6. You’re looking well how was your holiday in the moutains? Not so good, I hurt my foot on the day I arrived so climbing was just impossible while everyone else was going off to the mountains I stayed and read a book by the hotel pool not my idea of a good holiday sorry to hear that sorry to hear that, well at least you had a good rest is your foot better now? Not really, I sit and watch television a lot and try to be patient.

7. Mum, I’m just off to the shop Oh, wait a minute, where’s my money? Oh, I found your purse lying on the table earlier so I put it back in your bag well it’s not in there now maybe it’s fallen on the floor somewhere can you help me look under the sofa? That’s where I was sitting a minute ago just a minute let me check yes look it is in here after all I told you that’s where I’d put in you just didn’t look properly!
