W: Hi, Rob. Shall I see you at your house?

M: Well, I’m just finishing some homework at school. Can you come and meet me here? We can go to the restaurant later. 

W: OK.

(Text 2) 

W: Dad, remember you and Mum have to come to the school this evening to meet all my teachers.

M: I know. It starts at a quarter past six, doesn’t it? So we can leave home at ten to six and walk there together.

W: Oh, my paper is finally finished. But I still haven’t got any idea for my speech next week.

M: What is it about?

W: Modern literature.

M: Oh, you can get some great ideas from Mr. Green. He’s an expert on it.

(Text 4)

W: Tom, here’s a note from the library. It says you have a book that should have been returned earlier. It’s All About Airplanes.

M: Oh, that’s right. It’s in my room.

W: Well, go and get it. We can walk to the library.

M: OK.

(Text 5) 

M: I like your dress, Sally. Did you make it yourself? You should become a designer.

W: Thanks, Uncle Tom. Mum says I should be a doctor or a teacher but I’d love to take photos for magazines!

W: Garden Hotel. May I help you?

M: Oh, this is James Turner. Last week I booked a double room and a room for three from the 3rd to the 6th of April. 

W: Oh, yes Mr. Turner. I remember.

M: And now I’d like to book a single room, for a workmate, for the 4th of April. 

W: Let me see. Oh, I’m very sorry, Mr. Turner, but we’re fully booked on April 4th, because of a great show. Well, you can try another hotel nearby. It’s newly-opened.

M: OK, but I need to tell my workmate about that first. Thanks a lot.

M: Hi, Nina! Can you tell me about the class trip? I wasn’t at school for Mrs. Green’s lesson this morning.

W: OK, Jack. Well, it’s to the Science Museum.

M: Great! What will we see there?

W: We’re going to a special exhibition about birds. But there are lots of other things to see too — about the weather, for example, and the sky at night. 

M: Cool! How much is it?

W: The ticket for the exhibition is only three pounds, but we have to pay twelve pounds each to include lunch and the bus.

M: I see. Thanks.

M: Molly, come and get your dinner. I cooked your favorite.

W: Thanks, Dad. It’s Sunday today, and I’m going on the plane to Aunt Diane’s city on Wednesday. Shall I pack my bags on Tuesday?

M: Yes, that’s fine, Molly.  

W: Who’s meeting me at the airport?

M: Well, Aunt Diane and Uncle Matt will be at work, but your cousin David can meet you.

W: Good! What clothes will I need? I know it’s hot there now.

M: Yes, but it rains a lot. You can borrow an umbrella or a jacket if it’s wet. Just pack your dresses.

W: OK. What will we do while I’m there?

M: Well, I know Diane wants to show you the forest. You saw the mountains and the beaches last year, with me and Mum.

M: I found a very interesting article yesterday, Monica.

W: Oh? I thought you were in the library studying maths!

M: I was, but after that I went to the dentist. I found it while I was sitting in the waiting room. 

W: What was it about?

M: Canadian bears, and how they catch fish in the rivers. There were some amazing pictures! You know, they can run as fast as horses. And the man who wrote the article was also interesting. He used to teach English but he didn’t like his job. He was really interested in wildlife so he went back to college and now he studies bears.

W: My dad would love to read that article.

M: I showed it to my brother but he didn’t like it.

W: Why not? Doesn’t he like animals?

M: It’s not that. He thought the article was too long! But it wasn’t! And it was actually very funny. I liked it, anyway.

M: I attended a primary school in a quiet village where I lived when I was five and I stayed there until 11, when I moved to the secondary school where I am now. My secondary school is for students of all abilities, and we’re put into different groups according to certain subjects like maths and languages. I’m much better at numbers than words, so I’m in the highest group for maths, but not for languages. I’m in the second set for those and I study Spanish and German. 

Moving to secondary school was quite hard for me because it meant catching the school bus instead of walking, but I’m used to it now. And the school is very big — there are over 1,000 pupils. There are playing fields at the back where we can do sport, and a proper restaurant. And there are science laboratories, quite a big library and a swimming pool. My life’s very busy now. I get homework every night, and I play in the school band and the baseball team.
