B = Barbara M = Mike

B: What are you doing tomorrow, Mike?

M: I’m not sure. We might go to the concert in the park in the

afternoon.

B: Good idea. I’m thinking of taking the kids there, too – or to the

cinema. It depends on the weather. Do you think it’s going to

rain?

M: Unlikely, I think. They say it’s going to be quite a sunny day.

B: Wonderful! So I’ll take a picnic then. Why don’t you and Susan

join us?

M: Sounds great. Thanks, Barbara.

G = Grandmother A = Alice

G: You look beautiful, Alice. Where are you going tonight?

A: A club in town, gran. It’s salsa night.

G: Salsa? That sounds fun. You’re just like me when I was your

age. I used to love dancing.

A: I know, Gran. And you’re still great at dancing the rock ‘n roll!

Did you use to dance salsa in the 1960s?

G: No, we didn’t unfortunately. But we had all kinds of other weird

dances – the twist, the shake, the locomotion. There’d be a new

dance craze every week!

A: Fascinating. You’ll have to teach me one day!

G: Of course I will!

B1 = Businessman 1 B2 = Businessman 2

B1: So, first of all, what are we going to do about Ken?

B2: Well, the problem is that he’s not a risk-taker and he’s very

indecisive.

B1: Yes, I’ve noticed that. He’s very hard-working but he can’t think

outside the box. We’ll have to find somebody else to do the job.

B2: Yes, I agree. We need a manager who’s more like Frank –

competitive and motivated.

B1: Yes, Frank would be an excellent manager. Why don’t we offer

him the job?

B2: In other words, we have to fire Ken?

B1: Exactly.

M = Maggie D = Dave

M: What’s the matter, Dave?

D: The car won’t start! I’ve got a very important meeting with a

customer and I’m going to be late. I’ll have to call a taxi – it’ll

cost a fortune!

M: Calm down. I’m not starting work until 10 today so I’ll take you to

the station. You’ll probably get the 8.35 train – and you’ll be at

the office by 9.15.

D: OK, thanks Maggie. That would be great. But what should we do

about the car?

M: I’ ll call Tim at the garage. I’m sure he’ll come and look at it.

Leave it with me.

A: Hi Josh, it’s Amy.

J: Oh, hi Amy. How are things?

A: Fine, thanks – but you’re in hot water.

J: You’ve lost me. What have I done now?

A: Kate’s not very happy with you. You didn’t send her a card – or

call her.

J: A card? What for?

A: It’s her birthday!

J: Her birthday’s not until the 26th of May.

A: Right – and what day is it today?

J: Um, the 24th … 25th ? Let me check on the calendar. Oh no, it’s

the 26th. I didn’t realise it was today!

A: Right. So what are you going to do?

J: Well, I’ ll phone her right now. And send her some flowers.

A: I think she’ll expect a bit more than that. Go out and buy her a

nice present, a handbag or something.

J: OK, OK, I’ ll buy her a nice present and take it to her house.

A: That’s a much better idea. Bye, Josh!

J: Bye.
