Female 9: I've got two tickets for a volleyball match this evening. Why don't you come?
Male 10: Uh ... no, thanks. I ... I'm not very interested in volleyball.
Female: Oh, why not? Have you ever seen it played?
Male: No, I haven't, but I really don't th...
Female: That's what I thought. You don't know what you're missing 11.
Male: Don't I? Why?
Female: Because it's very fast, with lots of action.
Male: Really? Who's playing?
Female: Two of the best women's teams in the world, one from Finland and the other from Belgium.
Male: Hmm. It sounds exciting.
Female: Yes, it is! Very!
Male: Hmm. Well, perhaps I'll come after all.
Female: Good! Now ... uh ... could you ... uh ... could I have five pounds, please?
Male: Five pounds? What for?

(sound of telephone ringing)
Tom: Tom Haley speaking.
Philip: Hello, Tom. It's Philip. I waited for a phone call from you but I can't wait any longer. Tell me about your first week.
Tom: Hmmmmmm. It wasn't easy.
Philip: Wasn't it? Why? What did you have to do?
Tom: On Monday and Tuesday, I lifted heavy boxes. On Wednesday, I put hundreds of bottles and tins 14 and packets 15 on shelves.
Philip: Was it boring?
Tom: Yes, very boring. And I dropped a lot of boxes.
Philip: Did you break anything?
Tom: Oh, just a few jars 16 of jam and a lot of bottles of tomato juice.
Philip: Ugh. What a mess 17. So tell me about Thursday.
Tom: I'm afraid I was two hours late ... and the supervisor 18 was really angry. Then I put price labels 19 on bottles and tins and packets. Very confusing 20.
Philip: Did you put the right labels on them?
Tom: Not always. I made one or two mistakes.
Philip: Only one or two? What did you do on Friday and Saturday?
Tom: I didn't do very much. I was fed up. The supermarket was open until 9 pm. They wanted me to work overtime 21 but I went home at six.
Philip: I see. Have you still got a job?
Tom: I don't know. I have to see the supervisor tomorrow.
Philip: Well, you'd better get up early. Good luck!
1. I hate the stairs. Sometimes the lift isn't working and you have to use the stairs. I can't get up the stairs by myself; it's my back, you see. Jane, my friend, lives on the ground floor, that's much easier. Nearly every morning I stop there for a cup of tea before I come back up here.
2. I don't mind living in a tall building. I don't mind the stairs. I quite like the exercise. Of course, it's difficult for older people but I don't mind if you live on the top floor, like Mrs. Green, it's not easy. And I don't like the ground floor; I don't think it's safe. But I like my place. I've got three floors below me and three above, I feel very safe. My Mum lives here too, on the ground floor.
3. Alice comes every morning. Well, nearly every morning. She's not young any more, you see, she's seventy-eight next birthday, and it's difficult for her to walk up to the top floor. I can't go up; I can't move. It's my leg; I've got a bad leg. Carol 22 comes to see me sometimes. She lives here too, you know, in another flat. She's my daughter.
We are going to Scotland 23 for our holiday. We are leaving early on Saturday morning and I hope we will get to York about eleven o'clock. We are spending the night in York, then on Sunday we are driving up to Scotland. We are going to stay at a lovely little hotel near a lake. Of course we will probably get some rain, but I am sure we will have a fantastic holiday.
People often ask me for my telephone number. But I have not got a telephone, so I tell them to ring me at work. Why don't I have a telephone? I think the telephone is expensive and I prefer to write a letter. There aren't many people I want to speak to in the evening and I do not want to speak to anybody at breakfast time. When I want to use the telephone in the evening, I can always use the box at the end of the road.
—But you can't do that.
—Why can't I?
—We haven't got a duster.
—Did you walk to the match?
—No. I went by car.
—Did John go by car, too?
