Vivien: Hi Tom.
Tom: Hi Vivien. How was your meal last night?
Vivien: Actually, it didn’t go too well. Firstly, we couldn’t get around the table. We’d booked for six people, but eight came.
Tom: Oh dear!
Vivien: Then they didn’t have anything for Monica to eat.
Tom: She doesn’t eat meat or fish, does she?
Vivien: That’s right. She’s a vegetarian. She wasn’t happy! Then they brought Mark the wrong dish. He ordered steak but they brought him chicken, so he sent it back, and then he had to wait again for his steak. What about your meal?
Tom: The food was delicious, especially the dessert. Everything was perfect – until the bill arrived.
Vivien: Was it expensive?
Tom: Well, it was quite expensive, but we knew that from before. The problem was they gave us the bill for a different table. It took half an hour for them to fix the problem! In the end, they gave us a discount because of all the problems with the bill.
Vivien: Well, that’s something at least.

16 You will hear a woman talking about her day. Where did she go?
Woman: I had a lovely afternoon on my own. You know what it’s like – on a weekday there’s almost no one else there. I spent a long time just sitting and looking at one old painting. It was so quiet! I wrote my name in the visitors· book and said how much I enjoyed it.

17 You will hear a man talking. What has he lost?
Man: I can’t believe it! I parked my car late last night in the rain and I didn’t notice the name of the street. I couldn’t find it today until I had looked for it for 30 minutes! Then my money and my keys were missing. My money was in my coat pocket, but I don’t know about my keys.
Now listen again.

Now listen again.

Now listen again.
20 You will hear a man talking in a shop. What is he looking at?

Man: I like that one. That would be good for watching things on.
Woman: Yes, it’s a popular model. And it has more memory than the one here.
