Hi Lucy. Have you been shopping?Yeah⦠getting stuff for my room at college ā¦Whatās it like?Well not large! Thereās a bed, a desk, but nowhere to put books. And thereās only one big light in the ceiling. Iād prefer to have a lamp on my desk, so thatās what I got today. If Iāve got enough money, Iāll get some bookshelves next week. They had some lovely big cushions on special offer in the department store ā I nearly got one today actually ā so maybe the bookshelves can wait.
1.What did the girl buy on her shopping trip?
Good morning. This is your captain speaking. I'd just like to apologise for the late departure of the flight. As you know, we had to wait for the runway to be cleared of snow before we could take off and get on our way. We'll arrive in Manchester in about an hour, and we're told the weather on the ground isn't good ā there's heavy rain in the city, and we're expecting strong winds at the airport as we land, but we shouldn't be too far behind schedule. Thanks for your attention.
2.Why did the plane leave late?
Hello, Iām just ringing to book an activity at your leisure centre for the weekend. I was hoping to book a sailing lesson, but I understand from your website theyāre all full, so Iām wondering if there are any cycles available to hire instead ā thereās no information about those. Iād really like to join one of the group rides through the forest ā I think Iād enjoy that more than the car racing I tried last time. Could you ring me back to confirm? Many thanks.
3.What activity does the woman want to book for the weekend?
I:Have you chosen a cake yet?
H:Iām not sure. I guess youāre having the lemon one?
I:How did you know?
H:Because you always do!
I:I suppose I do! So what about you?
H:Hmm, I might try the one with the strawberries on.
I:You had that last time and you werenāt keen on it, remember? Iād go for the chocolate cake if I were you.
Mmm, the chocolate one does look good. Might be a bit sweet, though. Oh, I think Iāll have the same as you.
4.Which cake will the girl order?
