M: Hi Sarah, you are coming to the dinner party, aren’t you?
F: (11) Yeah, now that it’s on the 3rd. My daughter’s birthday is on the 29th of May so she’s having her party on the 1st of June.
M: Oh ok, what are you wearing? Not your little black dress again.
F: Maybe my new blouse and a skirt?
M: (12) Why not the blouse with the brown suit?
F: We’ll see. Now, I’ve got some great news! (13) I talked to Mr Larson and he told me he was giving away plane tickets to the employee of the month. I could take John to Paris.
M: I hope you get them. Booking that appointment with Gin Sanders was quite a success.
F: I know. So are you taking the kids to the party?
M: No, I asked my mum to look after them.
F: Me too. (14) It’ll just be me and my husband.
M: Great! You have to be there by 8.00 to take some photographs. (15) I will get to the office at 7.00 as Mr Larson wants me to talk to the others first. I suggested calling them the night before but he said no.

16 You will hear a woman talking to her friend about her holiday. What didn’t she like?
M: Hi Diana! Did you enjoy your holiday?
F: It could have been better, actually.
M: Wasn’t the hotel good?
F: It was fine and the breakfast they served was ok too. It was just too far away from the main square.
M: But didn’t you have a car to get around?
F: I did but the car park was far and there was traffic all day.
17 You will hear a couple talking at a restaurant. Why won’t the woman order a drink?
M: Would you like some wine?
F: I’d love some but I can’t.
M: Don’t tell me you’ve got a stomach ache again… I’ve got some medicine with me you could take.
F: Actually, no… But I guess I should tell you we need to get the kid’s room ready soon.
M: Are you serious? That’s great news. I can’t wait to be a dad!
18 You will hear two friends talking outside a shop. Why is the man unhappy?
M: Well, I understand that he was trying to sell that smart phone but he shouldn’t have pushed me so much.
F: He really knew what he was talking about so was trying to get you to buy it with all this information he kept giving you.
M: I know but did you see the prices? I couldn’t buy anything in that shop, anyway.
19 You will hear a woman talking on the phone. What is wrong with the dress?
F: Good morning. I’d like to return a dress. I need a bigger size, I’m afraid. Other than that, it’s great. I thought that, since it was cheap it wouldn’t look good on me or the colour wouldn’t be like the picture but it was ok. Anyway, is it still available?
20 You will hear a man talking to his wife about her handbag. What is the man’s problem?
M: Not again! I never seem able to find anything in here… Why do you have to carry such a big bag? And what is that? A book? What do you need a book for at the supermarket? I’m telling you I’ve lost my keys…
F: Well, if you stop being in such a hurry, then I could help you. Give me my bag. See… Here they are…
