Unit 21: Breakfast Blues
Karen: Do you want any breakfast, Paul?
Paul: Not really, but I must eat something. I mustn’t train on an
empty stomach. Have we got any orange juice?
Karen: Yes, we have. There’s some in the fridge. How much juice do
you want?
Paul: Oh, just a small glass, please.
Karen: Here you are. Do you want any coffee?
Paul: No, thanks. Have we got any tea?
Karen: Yes, there’s some tea in the pot. Help yourself.
Karen: Poor Paul! It’s a very early start!
Paul: Tell me about it! I can’t eat at six o’clock in the morning.
Karen: I’ve got some yoghurt in the fridge. You can take it with you
and have it at the gym.
Paul: Thanks, Karen. That’s nice. They haven’t got any yoghurt in
the canteen at the academy. The food there is terrible.
Unit 22: Watching the neighbours Polly: There’s Claire in Karen’s garden. Look, she’s with Paul again. Polly: Has she got a lot of friends now, Annie? Annie: Well, she’s very new here. And she’s shy. Perhaps she hasn’t
got many friends.
Polly: Well, there are lots of nice girls at the art college. Annie: And Paul has got a lot of friends. He can introduce her to
them.
Polly: Yes. Perhaps she’s happy with Paul. He is a lovely young man. Annie: And they’re both very busy with their studies. They haven’t
got a lot of spare time.
Polly: That’s true. Paul’s always busy. Now tell me about Claire’s
mother.
Unit 23: An Expensive Camera
William: What kind of camera has Claire got, Jack?
Jack: Let me think. It’s a Japanese one. I can’t remember the name.
Oh, yes! I know! It’s an Ixus, a Canon Ixus.
William: Lucky Claire! That’s a very fine camera!
Jack: Yes, it is. It’s a very expensive camera, too, but Claire wants
another one.
William: Why? Doesn’t she like that one?
Jack: Well, she likes it, but she wants a new one. It’s one of Daisy’s
old cameras. Claire wants a new one for her birthday.
William: She can give me the old one at any time! Just bring it here.
Unit24: A light dinner
Karen: Claire, do you like fish?
Claire: Yes, I love fish. I really like salmon!
Karen: Good! I’ve got a nice piece of salmon for dinner tonight.
Karen: Do you like vegetables?
Claire: Yes, I like vegetables, too.
Karen: I’ve got some new potatoes and some salad…There’s some
lettuce and some cucumber. Is that OK?
Claire: That’s fantastic, Karen! It’s my favourite kind of food!
Karen: Well, here’s a bowl. You and Paul can pick some strawberries
from the garden. Then we can have some fruit for dessert.
Paul: This is great, Karen! A really healthy meat! But I’m very
hungry!
Karen: Don’t worry, Paul! I’ve got lots of potatoes in the kitchen!
And you can have some cream with your strawberries. Just pick them first!
Unit 25: The weekend shopping Lucy: Mum, there isn't any sugar in the house.
Karen: I know. I must go to the supermarket. Let's make a shopping list Lucy: Ok. How much sugar do we need? Karen: Two bags. Lucy: Two bags of sugar…. We need some tea, too, Mum. There isn’t
much tea in the tin.
Karen: Let’s get four packets. Lucy: Four packets of tea...What about food for the weekend, Mum? Karen: We need a loaf of bread, some meat for Sunday lunch, and
some vegetables, too. What vegetables do we want, Lucy?
Lucy: One loaf of bread, a piece of meat, some vegetables…Mum,
these things are all really boring. What about some nice things for the weekend? Karen: What kind of things? Lucy: Well, chocolate,and icecream, perhaps… Karen: You’re right. Let’s get a box of chocolates. Some ice cream for you and the boys, and a bottle of wine for me and your father!
