Susan: Are you going to give up your job?
Christine: Yes, probably, but I may look for another one when we've settled11 in.
    I have a watch. It is a Swiss12 watch. It is not new and my friends are sometimes a little rude about it. They tell me to buy a new one. But I do not want a new one. I am very happy with my old watch. Last week it stopped. So I took it to the shop. I did not ask for an estimate13. Today I went to get it. Do you know how much I had to pay? Five pounds. Five pounds just for cleaning a watch.

    Have you ever thought what it is like to be one of those beautiful girls that you see on the front of fashion magazines? They meet interesting people, they travel to exciting places, and sometimes they make a lot of money. But they have to work hard. They often have to get up very early in the morning, and of course they have to be very careful about what they eat.

Female: Good! Now ... uh ... could you ... uh ... could I have five pounds, please?
Male: Five pounds? What for?
Female: Your ticket, of course. I bought two of them in advance, hoping I'd persuade you to come with me.
Male: Oh ... uh ... You know, I've just remembered something.
Female: What?
Male: I've got to see some friends this evening.
Female: Oh ... I see ... I mean ... you won't be coming, after all, then?
Male: No, not unless...
Female: Unless what?
Male: Perhaps you could let me have the ticket for a bit less? Let's say three pounds.
Female: But you said you had to meet some friends!
Male: Come on. I was only joking. Here's your five pounds. Of course I'll come.
(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 and packets 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 of jam and a lot of bottles of tomato juice.
Philip: Ugh. What a mess. So tell me about Thursday.
Tom: I'm afraid I was two hours late ... and the supervisor18 was really angry. Then I put price labels19 on bottles and tins and packets. Very confusing20.
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 overtime21 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. Carol22 comes to see me sometimes. She lives here too, you know, in another flat. She's my daughter.
    We are going to Scotland23 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.

—Can I help you?
—Yes, please. I'd like some instant24 coffee.
—Certainly. How much would you like?
—A large jar, please.
—That's a very nice cardigan. Is it new?
—Yes. It was very cheap. I got it in a sale.
—I like it very much. It suits you very well.
—Oh, thank you.
—Do you read many novels?
—Yes. I suppose I've read about four novels this year.
—I see. And what was the last novel you read?
—Let me see. It was A Man in Havana.
—And when did you read it?
—I read it on Tuesday evening.
—Why did you read it?
—Well ...
—Do you smoke?
—Yes, I do.
—How long have you been smoking25 for?
—Six years.
—And how many cigarettes have you smoked during that time?
—Thousands!
—I was just about to have a swim when I saw the shark!
—That's nothing. I was in the middle of swimming when I saw the shark.
—What happened?
—I started swimming for the shore, of course.

Yvonne: Can I have breakfast in my room?
Clerk: Certainly, madam. Breakfast is served in your room from 7 o'clock until 10. Here is the menu.

Maid27: I've brought you your breakfast, madam.
Yvonne: Oh yes. Thank you. Could you put it on the desk over there please?
Maid: Shall I pour you a cup of coffee straight away, madam?
Yvonne: No, thanks. I'll pour it myself in a minute.
Maid: Is there anything else, madam?
