The Car Thief

 

Samantha was walking home from work one day last month, when she saw a man who was trying to break into a car. She asked him what he was doing and he told her to, “Get lost!” She ran to a nearby shop and asked the owner to call the police, which he did immediately. When she went outside again she saw that both the thief and the car had gone. About ten minutes later, a police car stopped outside the shop. A policewoman got out and asked Samantha some questions about the incident. She asked her to give a description of the car and the thief. Samantha said that the car was a dark blue Ford Focus with the registration number TR03 RMN8. She said that it had a large scratch on the right hand side. She described the man as tall with short dark hair. She said that he was slim, looked about twenty-five years old and was wearing a blue denim jacket and black jeans. The policewoman wrote down everything in a notebook. Samantha felt a little shaken but was glad to be able to help. A few days later she found out that the thief had been caught in Newcastle and that the car had been returned to its owner, undamaged.

A Lazy Holiday or an Exciting Holiday?

Anna:

 

“I’m planning my holiday for next summer and I don’t know whether I should have a lazy holiday or an exciting one. Last year I went on holiday to southern Spain with my best friends, Joanna and Ling. We stayed in a brilliant four-star hotel, which had three swimming pools. It was quite expensive but we really enjoyed ourselves and we all got great suntans! This year, Joanna is going away with her parents to Greece so it’ll be just Ling and me. Ling wants us to go on an adventure holiday in Africa, the type where you have to go walking in the desert and sleep out in the open. She said it would be interesting and better than having a lazy holiday because we would learn about the world around us and see some wild animals. I’m not sure whether I want to go to Africa. For me, a holiday means relaxing on a beach, not trekking across the middle of nowhere. Ling said that we’d see elephants and zebras and have some amazing experiences. I think she’s bored of lying in the sun all day and fancies a change. I’ve got to make up my mind by next Monday at the latest so that she can book the tickets. It would cost £1,400 each to go to Africa, but less than half that amount for two weeks in Portugal.”

What Shall We Do Tomorrow?


 

Serena and George are on holiday in Devon, UK. Serena says to George:

  

Serena:

“I think tomorrow we can have a lie in until about 8.30, then have a shower, then have breakfast. If you don’t mind, I’ll have cereal and you can have a fry-up, but you’ll have to cook it, as I can’t stand cooking meat. After that, you can wash up, while I have a walk down to the village to get the papers. I’ll get a Telegraph for me and a Mirror for you, as I know you like doing the crossword. When I get back I thought we could play tennis for a couple of hours. Then you can drive me to the coast, where we can find a nice restaurant to have lunch. I’ll probably order a large salad and you can have a fresh seafood dish, if you like. After lunch I’ll want to relax for a while and be alone, so you’ll have to go out on your own somewhere. You should either explore the town, or go to the beach for a couple of hours. We’ll meet up again at about 5 o’clock for dinner. Then I’ll want you to take me out for a drink, or we could always go to the theatre. I think they’ve got a comedy on at the moment. After our evening out I’ll be pretty tired so I’ll probably just go straight to bed. I’m looking forward to a lovely day tomorrow, George, dear. Does everything sound alright to you?”

My current salary is 11K per annum and I would like to find something for at least thirteen or more. I’ll bring my CV in to your office once I’ve finished updating it.

Checking Train Times

 

Sian phones her friend Khalid and leaves a message on his answerphone:

 

“Hi, Khalid. I’ve just checked the train times for Tuesday next week and I’ve found a train from Derby to Edinburgh that takes about four and a half hours. Well, four hours and twenty-three minutes to be precise. It leaves Derby at 9.16 in the morning and gets into Edinburgh at 13.39. You have to change once, at Newcastle. It gets into Newcastle at 11.52 and leaves at 12.01. The train to Newcastle is run by Virgin Trains and the train you get from Newcastle to Edinburgh is run by GNER. There is a faster service but it leaves Derby later in the morning – at 10.14 – and you have to change at Darlington. It gets into Darlington Station at 12.14 and then you’ve got a seven-minute wait before your next train leaves. It gets into Edinburgh at 14.21. If you get the first train I can meet you at two o’clock. My sister and her friend never finish work until half past two so they can only come with me to meet you if you get a later train. Let me know which train you’re coming on. If you want to come later just let me know. I’ll be in tonight until half eight-ish, then I’m going out with Michelle. Or you could give me a ring tomorrow night. I’ll be at my mum’s, on 0131 600 46220. I’m going there after work, so ring me any time after about quarter past six and you should catch me there. Oh yes, the number to find out train times is, er, 08457 484950. You could always give them a ring yourself and find out about a different time.”

First Day in Class

 

Carolina is telling Lizzie about the first lesson of her new English class:

 

“Well, I was nervous before it started. There were eight of us altogether, including the teacher. My teacher’s name is Charlotte. She’s only been working there for two months. She used to teach in Spain. The first thing we did was stand in a circle and we had to try to learn everybody’s name, age and where they come from. I don’t know if I can remember all of them, but I’ll try. There was someone called Alexandre. He’s from Portugal too and he’s 23. No, he was 24. There was Mohammad, from Kirkuk in Iraq. He’s 30 – two years older than me. There were two other women – Hélène and Yui-Gui. Hélène’s 38 and comes from France. She was a bit loud and I didn’t talk to her much. Yui-Gui was really nice. We worked together – she was my partner for some of the lesson. She’s from China and used to live in Beijing before she moved to England. She’s 41 years old and married with two children. Patrick came half an hour late. He’s 57 and comes from Eritrea in Africa. Charlotte said that he’s got to come on time if he wants to stay in the class. The other student was Kamal. He was very quiet and didn’t want to tell anyone his age, but I asked him at break-time; he told me that he’s 29. He’s from Afghanistan.”

What's the Right Time?

 

Graham is telling his friend Marco about what happened yesterday:

 

“I woke up yesterday morning and looked at my alarm clock. It said 2.15pm! I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was late for work, so I jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. The clock on the wall in there was two and a half hours ahead of the one in the bedroom. It was very confusing! I had a shower then went downstairs. The clock in the hall was an hour behind the one in the bathroom. When I went into the kitchen I looked at the clock on the microwave, which was three and a quarter hours ahead of the one in my bedroom. I found out later that day that my flatmate, Gordon, had changed all the clocks in my house for a joke. He thought it was very funny. In the living room the clock on the video said it was 3.30am, while in the guest bedroom the clock on the wall next to the window was two hours and twenty-five minutes slower than that. I went into the study and picked up my watch. It was eight hours ahead of the one in the kitchen. I was due at work at 8.30am and didn’t want to be late. I went outside into the garden and looked in at the window of my shed. The clock on the wall in there was three hours behind my alarm clock. There was a postman walking past, but he didn’t know the time. He said that when he left the sorting office an hour or two ago he thought it was about six o’clock. In the end I phoned my brother Alan in Toronto, Canada, and he was really annoyed because I’d woken him up, along with his whole family. He said it was 2.44 in the morning their time. I had forgotten that in Toronto they’re five hours behind us. That’s how I finally found out what time it was!”
