16 You will hear two friends talking about the weekend. What did the man do on Saturday?
F: So did you have fun at the weekend?
M: Well, Saturday was busy. I woke up early because I had to finish that project for work but my daughter wanted me to drive her into town to meet her friends. I thought I had some time to go to the supermarket but then Sarah called me and said we shouldn’t be late for lunch.
17 You will hear a boss talking to an employee about work. Why didn’t the man come to the office yesterday?
M: Mrs Gibbs, can I talk to you about the meeting?
F: Of course, Sam. You missed it yesterday. Are you feeling better?

F: Oh, why didn’t George go?
M: Actually, he’s in Greece for the summer. Anyway…
18 You will hear a woman talking about sailing. How did she learn to sail?
F: When I said I wanted to learn how to sail, my friends got really excited and said we’d go on sailing trips together… John told me about a YouTube sailing channel.

19 You will hear a woman talking about her day at work. What did she like best?
F: Work was great today! First, we had a meeting where our boss talked to us about the company’s future plans. We are making an advertisement about our new smart phone these days and he’s really happy about it. He asked me to think of a person to star in the ad. How exciting! I’m going to meet a celebrity. That’s why I love this job.
20 You will hear two friends talking about a flight. Why didn’t they rest?
M: What a flight! I can’t believe we are back from our holiday.
