A: Hello, can I help you?
B: Ah, yes please. I’m looking for a present for my mum. It’s her birthday next week.
A: Let me see. Ah, here’s a very lovely painting. What do you think?
B: I really like the colour but it’s too expensive for me. What else have you got?
A: I know, how about his old guitar: you can’t play it anymore, but it would look very good on the wall in your living room?
B: My mum already has a guitar. She likes old things, you know, like stuff from the past. She thinks modern furniture is horrible!
A: Then this Italian glass lamp is the perfect gift! I found it in a shop in Spain last year. It’s fifty years old and very special. It still works too.
B: Oh yes. The painting was very beautiful, but this table lamp is the best for Mum!
A: Fine. So, that’s thirty pounds.
B: Oh, I haven’t got the money now. Can you keep the lamp until next week? I’ll ask my dad if he can come with me and get it next Tuesday after school.
A: No problem, I’ll see you next Tuesday.

16 You will hear a mother talking to her son. Where are they going to eat on Sunday?
A: How about going to the new pizza restaurant near the station on Sunday?
B: But aren’t grandma and granddad having lunch with us at home?
A: That’s on Saturday: it’s your father’s birthday, don’t you remember? We’re having a surprise dinner party with them.
B: Oh, you’re right. Then we can go. I can’t wait: I love pizza!
17 You will hear two friends talking. When does the football match start?
A: Hurry up, Amanda. It’s already quarter past six and the match begins in 45 minutes.
B: Don’t worry, Sam. Roger and his father are going there by car. I asked him if he can drive us there, too. So we’ll be there by six forty-five.
A: Good. So we’ll have time to buy some drinks as well before it starts at seven.
18 You will hear a girl, Sue, talking to her friend. What is she doing in the afternoon?
A: Hi, Sue. Where have you been?
B: I was in the park with my aunt’s dog. I always work as a dog-sitter on Saturday mornings.
A: Cool! Shall we go to the cinema after lunch?
B: OK, but we’ll have to go to the 2.30 show because I’m having dinner at my grandfather’s this evening.
19 You will hear a man and a woman talking about buying a TV. What size do they want to buy?
A: Cindy, how about this TV on the second shelf? It looks perfect for the kitchen.
B: I don’t know. It looks as large as the one we have in the living room… it might be too big for the cupboard near the fridge.
A: Maybe you’re right. Let’s get a smaller one. We need more space to cook in the kitchen.
20 You will hear a boy talking to his friend. What is he going to buy to his grandmother?
A: What shall I get my grandmother for her birthday?
B: Well, she really loves shoes. Why don’t you buy the pair near the gloves in that shop window?
A: I’m not sure about her size…
B: Then I’m sure she’ll love these: she always wears jewellery, doesn’t she? And she has a necklace that goes with them, too.
