Unit 2
Conversation 1
Kate: Oh, this looks nice.
Mark: Cool.
Waitress: Good afternoon, table for three? Come this way.
Mark: Let's have a look at the menu.
Mark: Thank you.
Janet: Thank you.
Waitress: The specials are on the board.
Kate: So, what sorts of food do you like, Janet?
Janet: Well, I like spicy food. And I'm not very fond of raw food! What would you recommend?
Mark: Why don't you try the chicken curry? That's nice and spicy.
Janet: What's in it?
Mark: Chicken cooked in tomatoes and onions with Indian spices.
Janet: I'll try it. Do we all choose a selection of dishes to share or only one dish per person?
Mark: Usually one dish per person.
Kate: Or the moussaka looks good.
Janet: What's it made with?
Kate: It's made with lamb and eggplant. It's a Greek dish.
Janet: How is it cooked?
Kate: It's baked in the oven.
Janet: Mm, that sounds good too.
Kate: And as a starter?
Janet: What's minestrone soup?
Mark: It's an Italian soup with vegetables and pasta. It's delicious!
Janet: OK, I'll have that.
Kate: Waitress?
Waitress: What can I get for you?
Kate: Well, for the starter, can we have two minestrone soups, and for the main course, one moussaka and one curry, please. What about you, Mark?
Mark: I'll have the prawns with garlic and the chilli con carne. And could you bring us some water, please?
Waitress: OK.
Mark: Thank you.
Waitress: Thanks.
Janet: What's chilli con carne?
Mark: It's a spicy Mexican dish with beef and beans. It's very hot!

Conversation 2
Janet: That was great! Except I don't like cold water. I usually drink hot water.
Kate: Hot water? We never drink hot water except with tea. Let's have a dessert. What would you like, Janet?
Janet: Any suggestions?
Kate: Well, why don't you try the apple strudel? It's an Austrian dish. It's made with apple, pastry and spices.
Janet: No, I'm not so keen on pastry. ...
What's a chocolate brownie?
Mark: It's a kind of chocolate cake.
Janet: How is it made?
Kate: It's made with flour, eggs and butter...
Mark: And lots of chocolate!
Kate: You'll love it.
Janet: What kind of ice cream is there?
Kate: I'll ask ... Excuse me ... What flavor ice cream do you have?
Waitress: Strawberry, vanilla and chocolate.
Janet: I'll just have a fruit salad, I think.
Mark: And Kate, what are you going to have?
Kate: Same for me.
Mark: Could you bring us two fruit salads, and a chocolate brownie?
Waitress: Sure.

Unit 3
Conversation 1
Mark: Hi, what're you doing?
Janet: Oh, nothing much ... Well, I'm just doing this quiz here in the newspaper.
Mark: Let's have a look then.
Janet: Here. It's called, "How much do you know about memory?" I've just done it. Do you want to have a go?
Mark: OK, might as well. I'm not busy.
Janet: Right. Look, I'll read the statements. Then you have to answer "true" or "false". Ready?
Mark: Yea.
Janet: OK. Physical exercise improves your memory. True or false?
Mark: True, I suppose. It sounds like the right answer.
Janet: You're right; exercise does improve your memory. Next statement: 30 per cent of people have a visual memory.
Mark: That sounds about right. True?
Janet: No, wrong, I'm afraid. In fact, 60 per cent of people have a visual memory.
Mark: Really? Actually, I've got a pretty good memory.
Janet: Have you? OK ... Next one ... When you're tired, it's more difficult to remember things.
Mark: That's true, obviously. I can't remember a thing when I'm tired.
Janet: Correct! If you do one activity for a long time, your memory will improve.
Mark: I'm not sure ... True?
Janet: Actually, it's false.
Mark: Oh!
Janet: Eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory.
Mark: I read something in The Times about that. True.
Janet: True, it says here.
Mark: Oh, no! I've got a lecture. I'd forgotten. I'd better get going!
Janet: Oh, Mark! What a good memory you have!

Conversation 2
Kate: You're looking a bit down, Janet. What's up?
Janet: Well ... I'm finding studying at Oxford quite hard.
Kate: You're telling me! There's so much work!
Janet: It's not the amount of work, but everything's so different. In China, generally we have large classes, we don't have tutorials. And mostly, our teacher tells us what we should do. So I'm not used to asking questions or discussing things. I find it difficult.
Kate: You have to memorize a lot, don't you?
Janet: Yes, but I'm good at that.
Kate: You're lucky. There's so much to remember studying law! I have difficulty sometimes, I really do.
Janet: Yes, well, we've been trained to do that. But we don't have so much training in critical thinking.
Kate: What do you mean by critical thinking?
Janet: Let me think ... I think it's giving your opinion and then justifying it.
Kate: Yes, I suppose that's what our teachers have always encouraged us to do.
Janet: I am getting better at it, I suppose.
Kate: Hey! How about this? Let's pretend I'm your tutor. I'll make a statement. Your task is to examine it and then ask questions.
Janet: OK.
Kate: Everyone is capable of learning a second language. Go on, ask a question!
Janet: Why do you say that?
Kate: That's what the research tells us. Now ask another one.
Janet: Can you give an example of some research?
Kate: Um ... No! Look, I'm starving and I can't think at all when I'm hungry.

Unit 4
Conversation 1
Kate: Oh, I must make a quick call. ...
Jacky: Hello, Jacky Gordon speaking.
Kate: Hello, can I speak to Abbie, please?
Jacky: I'll see if she's in, can you hold on?
Kate: Sure. ...
Jacky: Hello? She's out, I'm afraid. Can I give her a message — er ... or I can ask her to call you back?
Kate: Could you ask her to call me back?
Jacky: Sure. Who's calling?
Kate: Kate Santos.
Jacky: Kate Santos, OK. Does Abbie have your number?
Kate: Yes, she does.
Jacky: I'll tell her you called.
Kate: Thanks.
Janet: Abbie? I know a girl called Abbie. She reads English, doesn't she?
Kate: Yes, how do you know her?
Janet: She has a tutorial just after me so we chat a bit. We get on really well.
Kate: Yes, everyone likes Abbie. I think it's because she's really interested in people — she's a very good listener. She should be, she works for Nightline.
Janet: Nightline?
Kate: Oh, I haven't told you, I've joined it.
Janet: What is it? I've never heard of it.
Kate: Look, I've got a leaflet about it.
Janet: So...
Kate: It's a university helpline for students who are having problems. I'm training to be one of the people they can call to talk to.
Janet: You mean, you're a volunteer?
Kate: Yes.
Janet: Oh, that's great, Kate

Conversation 2
Abbie: Hi, Abbie speaking.
Kate: Hi, Abbie, it's Kate Santos.
Abbie: Hi! I'm sorry not to have called you back. I've got a lot on at the moment. How's things?
Kate: Fine. I just wanted to let you know I won't be able to come to the next training session.
Abbie: Um ... It's quite an important session. Oh, can you hold on a moment. There's someone at the door. ...
Abbie: Hi, I'm sorry, look, can I call you back later?
Kate: Sure. What time?
Abbie: Is three o'clock OK?
Kate: Three's fine.
Abbie: OK, I'll call you then. Speak soon.
Kate: Bye.
Abbie: Bye.
...
Kate: Abbie's my Nightline trainer.
Janet: You're saying she's your Nightline trainer! But she's still a student.
Kate: Well, experienced students train new students, that's the way it works.
Janet: Oh, I see.
Kate: It's great! At the moment, she's training us in listening skills.
Janet: Listening skills? What do you mean, listening skills?
Kate: Um ... The ability to really listen to someone and make them feel you're listening. It's very important.
Janet: I've never thought about that before.
Kate: Yes, for example, one thing you can do is listen carefully and then repeat what someone says but maybe a little differently.
Janet: So what you're saying is, repeat what someone says but maybe not the exact same words.
Kate: Yes. You see, when you do that, you check you've understood and you show them you're really listening.
Janet: So they know you've really heard them.
Kate: Very good, Janet. I can see you've got it already! Hi ... how's it going?

Unit 5
Conversation 1
Kate: Hi, Becky, how's it going?
Becky: Good!
Mark: Guys, look, can you help me with a problem?
Janet: Yes, of course.
Mark: The thing is, there's this girl I really like called Jenny Sparks. She's a Fresher, really stunning, reads history. I know her name because someone pointed her out to me, but I've never actually spoken to her. Do either of you know her?
Kate: No.
Janet: No, I don't know her. Mark, how can you like her if you haven't met her?
Kate: It's because she's absolutely gorgeous, Janet.
Mark: That's right! I want to ask her out, but first I've got to meet her. Got any suggestions?
Becky: Guys! You want to order?
Mark: Sorry.
Kate: Three cappuccinos?
Becky: Sure.
Janet: Do you know anyone who knows her? You could ask them to introduce you.
Mark: No, I don't, that's the problem.
Kate: Are you matchmaking, Janet?
Janet: What's matchmaking?
Kate: Making introductions between people who might like each other. We don't do that here. How about just walking up to her and saying Hi? Why don't you do that?
Mark: No.
Kate: Why not?
Mark: I'm not usually shy, but — she's so ... you know ...!
Janet: Oh, Mark!
Kate: Just believe in yourself, Mark. You're a great guy!
Janet: I understand Mark completely.
Kate: Well, it's the only way he's going to get to talk to her.
Mark: OK, I'll give it a try.
Becky: Solved the Jenny problem yet?
Girls: Thank you.
Janet: You'll be fine. Mark. She'll like him, won't she, Becky?
Becky: Of course she will!

Conversation 2
Mark: Hey, guess what, guys, I've got a date with Jenny.
Kate: You did it, you asked her out?
Janet: When are you seeing her?
Mark: Saturday. We're going to The Eagle and Child.
Janet: Sounds great.
Mark: Yeah! The thing is, I'm a bit nervous.
Janet: Are you?
Mark: Yes, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself. I could do with some more advice.
Kate: Any ideas?
Janet: Um ... I'm thinking.
Kate: Well ... One thing is ... if you're nervous, it's easy to talk too much, so remember not to do that.
Mark: Good point. I'll remember that.
Janet: You should make her feel special. Show her you're really interested in her.
Mark: I am really interested in her.
Janet: Well, you should show her you are.
Mark: That'll be easy! What else?
Kate: It's a good idea to look good.
Mark: That's pretty obvious!
Kate: I mean clean clothes, Mark!
Mark: Oh ... thanks, Kate! Any more advice?
Kate: Yes, the most important thing is, just be yourself.
Becky: How's it going, Mark?
Kate: He's worried this girl won't like him.
Becky: She'll love you! Ready to order?

Unit 6
Conversation 1
Janet: So, are you looking for anything in particular?
Mark: Maybe a T-shirt or a polo shirt.
Janet: We could go into the covered market and have a look at the shops in there.
Kate: And what about you?
Janet: I need some cosmetics from the Body Shop on Corn market Street.
Kate: And I'm looking for something to wear to Jenny's party tonight. But nothing too expensive. Anyway, look, let's go in here.
Assistant: Can I help you?
Kate: We're just looking.
Mark: What do you think of this one?
Kate: Hmm, it's OK, but I'm not sure green suits you. Do they have it in other colors?
Janet: What size do you take?
Mark: Medium, I guess. Oh, here's a nice polo shirt. I like the color. It's a bit small,
though.
Janet: Do they have it in a larger size?
Mark: Yes, here we go. That's great.
Janet: How much is it?
Mark: Twelve pounds. That's not too bad. I'll buy it.
Mark: I'll have this, please.
Assistant: That'll be 12 pounds please. ... Thank you. ... And here's your shirt, and here's your receipt.
Mark: Thanks.
Mark: Look, I've really got to go. I'll see you at the party tonight.
Kate: OK.
Janet: Bye.

Conversation 2
Janet: OK, Kate. Now it is time to find something for you. What about this dress?
Kate: Hey, that's lovely.
Janet: Would you like to try it on?
Kate: Yes, OK. Where are the changing rooms?
Assistant: Just behind you.
Kate: Thank you. ... What do you think?
Janet: Well, it really suits you, but ...
Kate: ... it's a bit big. Excuse me, do you have this in a smaller size?
Assistant: What size do you take?
Kate: Size 8, I think.
Assistant: No, I'm afraid we don't. That's the last one.
Kate: No, it doesn't really fit. OK, I'll leave it.
Janet: Actually, I really like it.
Kate: Why don't you try it on, then?
Janet: OK. ... What do you think?
Kate: Perfect. It really suits you.
Janet: It's a bit expensive.
Kate: Go on! You deserve it!
Janet: OK, I'll have it. But I don't have enough cash. ... Can I pay by credit card?
Assistant: Sure.
Janet: Thank you.
Assistant: Please enter your PIN. ... And here's your receipt.
Janet: Thank you.
Assistant: Thanks a lot.
Kate: That was painless, wasn't it? But I still don't have a dress for the party. Let's try somewhere else.
Assistant: Bye.
Girls: Bye.
