M: Let me see your ticket. Umm … This ticket is for Oxford.

W: Yes, that’s right.

M: But this train doesn’t go to Oxford. It goes to Liverpool.

W: Oh no! Then I’ll have to get off and change at London.

W: Hi, Luke. Pad and I are going to watch the tennis game this evening. Do you want to come?

M: Great! I know Thomas really enjoys watching tennis. Can he join us? 

W: Well, I’m afraid I don’t have an extra ticket for him.

M: Mum, have you seen my school bag?

W: It’s hanging up here, with the coats. I moved it because it was on the kitchen table. Tom, remember to leave it 

in the living room when you come home from school. Then it won’t be in my way.

M: I haven’t seen Linda Rivera for a long time. Has she been away on a holiday?

W: Oh, you haven’t heard? She set up her own travel agency.

(Text 5)

W: I can’t believe how hot it is here today.

M: If you think this is bad, you should have been here last week.

W: Have you chosen the music for the party yet?

M: I was going to just let people bring their own.

W: Oh, I don’t think you should do that. One person needs to be in charge, otherwise people will start disagreeing. Sonia’s really good at music. You could ask her.

M: OK, have you got her number?

W: Yeah, it’s on my mobile. I’ll text it to you.

M: Tracy, I want some new shoes for the party tonight. Shall we go and buy some later?

W: OK, but I promised to help my granddad wash his car today.

M: Why don’t you do that immediately? We’ll go as soon as you’re finished.

W: OK. And I suppose I can do my homework when we get back. I’m surely doing that before we go to the party — I don’t want to do it tomorrow!

M: Yeah, I don’t like doing it till the last day of the weekend, either. So I finished all my homework after school yesterday.

M: That was a cool exhibition.

W: I knew you’d like it! I believe it’ll help us with our school cloth project. I’ve got lots of ideas now.

M: I was really interested in the designer wear section. It’s totally special.

W: Yes, it’d be great to wear something so special. But what impressed me most was the part that showed you how to recycle clothes.

M: Yeah, but I can’t see myself wearing any of my dad’s old things just now! I didn’t expect the show to be so interesting.

W: I enjoyed seeing the live models, though I’m not sure whether it lived up to my expectations.

M: Veronique, when you are not studying, what do you like to do?

W: I like listening to music by French singers. Go into any French music store, and you’ll find the top 10 albums by US, German and English artists. It’s good to have variety, but I love French music.

M: Do French teens like fast food, you know, hamburgers, chips, and things like those?

W: Well, we don’t really like that. We usually have quick breakfast, sandwiches at lunch and a family dinner at around 8 to 8:30 in the evening. The younger teenagers like to eat hamburgers at McDonald’s.

M: Paris is well known for popular clothes, so I’m sure it offers French teens the most up-to-date clothes to choose from.

W: Exactly. I like to wear clothes by Agnes B, a popular French designer. I think Agnes B clothes are kind of classic, but they can also be very lovely. One of my favorites is a silver jacket because it came from one of the shows and most importantly there is no other like it.

W: Welcome everybody to this Cititours bus. I hope you’re having a good time here in the West of England. Our 

tours usually last about one hour.

The bus is now turning into Queens Road. From this road we can see a very modern building. This is the town’s new sports stadium. All the big matches happen there but at the moment, an international company is using it for a conference.

Now look to your left. We’re now passing the City Theatre. This building is one hundred years old. It’s very pretty, as you see, but it doesn’t have enough seats for big shows. We’ve got a new entertainment centre in Victoria Park. We don’t pass it on the bus, but you may be interested to know it’s got a cinema and a concert hall. Most people prefer it because it’s got air-conditioning. Now, on your right, is the High Street. This Cititours bus normally goes along the High Street into the Market Place. But at the moment some musicians are practicing for an outdoor concert there. We’re driving round a different route because the roads into the Market Place are closed. The market was an important local trade centre until about 1970. Farmers bought and sold their cows and sheep there. However, we don’t see animals in the city centre these days. The market area’s got some good shops. Why don’t you have a walk round there later on?
