Wendy Hi, Kate. What are you doing?
Kate Oh, hi! Ive been waiting for my bus for ages, but it
hasnt turned up yet and Im freezing! I cant even get a
taxi because I dont have enough money and the cash
machine has broken.
Wendy Poor you! Look, my cars parked just over there. Ill give
you a lift, and if you want, I can lend you some money
too.
Kate Thanks so much, Wendy!

Gavin Hi, Rachel. Have you found any bargains so far?
Rachel Actually, yes. Ive just bought these amazing boots. I
love markets. What about you? Have you spent any
money yet?
Gavin Well, I bought these DVDs. But to be honest, I think
theyve charged me more than the films usually cost
new in the shops!
Rachel Youre too nice. You need to be more aggressive like
me!

Diana Chris, whats the most life-changing thing that has
happened to you?
Chris Erm, probably leaving my job and going abroad for a
year.
Diana When did you do that?
Chris I was 25 at the time.
Diana And how did it change you?
Chris I suppose, erm, living in another culture really opened
my eyes. I was probably a bit immature before I went,
and now I think Im much more independent and more
open to other ideas.

Paolo Helen, should you say Sorry in Britain if you walk into
someone?
Helen Oh, definitely. Actually, we often say Sorry even when
someone walks into us! But if you just want to get past,
you need to say Excuse me.
Paolo OK And what should I say when someone says Sorry?
Helen Well, it depends on the situation, really. We usually just
say Sorry back, especially for a small thing. When
someone is really apologizing for something say they
stand on your toe and hurt you then you can say, Thats
all right or Dont worry.

now?

Clare and Tom from your department? Really? But I
didnt think they used to get on!
Rachel Well, they both started going to the gym at lunchtime,
and they obviously became friends!

I cant imagine Tom doing any kind of exercise! How
long have they been together?
Rachel About a month, I think.

foul against his old P.E. teacher.

Chloe Have you seen this quiz about films? In the first part,
you have to recognize the actors by the part of the
body.
Lars
Lets have a look oh that ones easy. I think that must
be Daniel Craigs neck and shoulders. What about this
close-up of someones mouth?
Chloe Well, its obviously a woman and someone with
perfect teeth.
Lars
Ah! I recognize that smile. It must be Julia Roberts.
2
Chloe Do you know anything about this film?
Lars
No, but from the picture it might be a horror film
because that man has scary eyes! Or it may be an action
movie because several people are running about with
guns. It definitely looks violent.
Chloe Yes, but it cant be a serious horror film. It just looks
too silly to me. I think its probably a comedy.
3
Lars
Can you remember who made the Star Wars films?
Chloe Wasnt it Steven Spielberg?
Lars
No, the only science-fiction film hes ever made was
E.T.
Chloe But didnt he make Close Encounters of the Third Kind?
Lars
Oh, yeah. Youre right.
Chloe I know. It was George Lucas.
4
Chloe What nationality is this actor?
Lars
Well, the previous actor who played Zorro was
Antonio Banderas. It might be another Spanish actor.
Chloe No, I think its Gael Garca Bernal, the Mexican actor.
Lars
Oh, yes, hes excellent.
5
Chloe Do you know where The English Patient was filmed?
Lars
I know the storys set in Italy and Egypt, and I think
they shot it in both places, although I heard they filmed
some of the Egyptian scenes in Italy! For example, I
think they used a hotel in Venice to represent the hotel
in Cairo.
Chloe Thats probably true. Apparently, the old Cairo hotel
was destroyed in the 1950s!

Buyer
How old is the house?
Estate agent Well, its nearly 100 years old, but as you can see,
the roof has been recently replaced and the
chimney too. Lets go inside
Buyer
Oh, I like the living room.
Estate agent Yes, the old stone fireplace is original, and if you
decided you wanted to buy it, the curtains and
carpets would be included. And this is the
kitchen, very modern, with a new cooker. Shall I
show you upstairs?

school?

I was really lucky I got the first job I applied for. Im
working at the chemists on the High Street.
Maria Do you like working there?
Joe
Its all right. I enjoy working with the people, but it can
get a bit boring on a quiet day because Im only
working on the till at the moment.

Rafa Whats wrong?
Jane I have to give a presentation in 10 minutes, and I cant plug my
laptop in.
Rafa Whats the problem?
Jane I forgot that the sockets were different in Europe and I didnt
bring an adaptor from the UK!
Rafa Here, why dont you use my cable? It has a European plug on.
Jane Thank you so much.
2
Rafa How did the presentation go?
Jane It went well, thanks. Heres your cable. I dont know what I
would have done if I hadnt met you!
Rafa Glad I could help! Technology isnt as international as we
would like it to be, is it? The first time I used an English
keyboard, I kept pressing the wrong keys. It was very
embarrassing. I had to use my own laptop with a Spanish
keyboard for a while because I was making so many mistakes!

Shop assistant Good morning. How can I help you?
Customer
Hello. I bought a computer recently from this shop,
and Im having a few problems with it. I didnt realize
there were only two USB ports. I need to keep one
just for the mouse, so that only leaves one for
everything else. If I want to plug in a memory stick
and connect to the printer, I have to unplug
something else. What would you suggest I do?
Shop assistant Well, the simplest thing would be to buy a USB hub
which, for just a few pounds, allows you to plug in up
to seven devices at once.

Dave How was your holiday in Australia, Kate?
Kate It was wonderful. But I must tell you about the most amazing
coincidence!
Dave Really? What happened?
Kate I was walking in the Blue Mountains and decided to write a
postcard to a friend I hadnt seen for a long time, called Sue. So,
I walked into Katoomba, a small local town, to buy a stamp,
and I had just come out of the post office when I saw Sue
walking down the street! I couldnt believe it!
Dave Thats extraordinary! So did you give her the postcard?
Kate Yes. If Id met her five minutes earlier, I could have saved a
stamp!
5
Paula Gus, have you ever been helped by a complete stranger?
Gus Yes, when I was a student. I was travelling around Hungary one
summer and arrived in a village quite late. I couldnt find
anywhere to stay, and I didnt speak the language, which didnt
help.
Paula So what happened?
Gus Well, luckily, I met an old couple and tried to explain that I was
looking for a hotel. They were very patient and, when they
understood, they just pointed to their house, which was nearby.
If I hadnt met them, I mightve had to sleep in the park.
Paula How kind of them!

them there, but then I dont remember seeing them
when I got home.
Steph You didnt leave them on the bus, did you?
Ben
Oh no, thats probably what I did.

Javier What do you think is the most iconic album cover?
Sophie Oh, well, it would probably be Abbey Road, the one
with the famous picture of the Beatles walking across a
zebra crossing.
Javier Yes, everyone knows that picture, dont they? When I
went to London, my friends and I tried to take a photo
of us in the same place, but it was difficult because
there was so much traffic, and we couldnt really stay
on the zebra crossing long enough to get a good
picture!
Sophie I can imagine! Perhaps some traffic policemen would
have helped.
Javier Erm, how?
