1.Hi, it’s Maria. Got your message. Yeah, I’d like to go to the movies. There’s a film called Lightworld Two or a comedy – I don’t mind which shall we meet outside the cinema? Or I know, at the coffee bar on the corner we could have a snack before we go in. we could meet at the bus stop. Mum’s driving me into town this afternoon, to buy some trainers so I won’t have to get the bus, but something to eat first is a good idea. Shall we say six o’clock? Ok.

2.Drink up your coffee – we’ll be late for class. What are you looking for now? Don’t tell me you’ve left your essay at home. You said you were working on it till midnight. Don’t worry, it was the first thing I put in my bag – look, here it is. I won’t be a second… just checking everything. Pen now where did I…? Oh, dear, you’ll be able to lend me one, won’t you ? Keys? Oh, here they are, in my pocket as usual.

3.Because of the ski jumping ginals we’re late finishing so there are some changes to this evening’s programmes. We won’t show the Nature Programme, about the dolphins found near the Floria coast at nine a’clock. Instead Tim Wong’s chinese kitchen will be at this time an hour later than advertised. You can see the nature Programme at its usual time next week.

4.Shall we go to Boat Show? It’s on for three weeks but you need to book if you want to go on the first night because there’s a party. Really? Let’s go. How do you book? On the Internet or by phone…. Or there’s a form to fill in this week’s TV magazine with a discount on each ticket. I like saving money, but the post’s always so slow I prefer to talk to someone when I’m making a booking just leave it to me.

5.Will you go on working as a gardener when winter comes, Jim? You’ll get very cold and wet working outside. Well, last winter I took a job in a supermarket. They’re advertising for staff again at the moment but I prefer being in the fresh air – even when the weather’s bad. I’d really like to get a job abroad in the sun but all the ones I’ve seen need building skills which I haven’t got. So I’ll just stay in my present job for the time being.

6.Saral, could you do something for me? Well it depends what it is. I want to clean the bedroom windows this afternoon.But I lend the ladder to John….could you give me a lift to his house and then bring me back with the ladder? Of course – no problem.

7. I love these photos of your holiday. Is this the house you stayed in? I love the balconies and all those plants growing up the walls. Oh, and there’s a love ly big swimming pool. Let me see. Oh, you’re looking at the wrong photo that was the house our friends stayed in. ours was exactly like that one but we only had the sea to swim in. here, let me show you a photo of our house. It was just as nice.
