Speaker A
The plane's going to take off for 8 o'clock now, so you don't need to check in until about quarter past 7:00. He said he'd be round to pick you up at half past six instead of six o'clock. Is
Speaker A
that okay? It'll give you some more time to pack. Anyway, what did Simon do this morning? Oh, Simon, you haven't even washed the dishes. Have you done anything this morning? I've been really busy, Mom. I paid the window cleaner who called, and I was
Speaker A
going to put away all the shopping you bought yesterday, but Pete rang and he kept me talking for ages. What? Has the girl packed yet? Have you got everything you need for your holiday? Well, I've packed my soap
Speaker A
and toothbrush, if that's what you mean, but I can't find any toothpaste anywhere. There's probably some in the bathroom cupboard. But what about a towel? Have you remembered to pack that? Of course, but has the woman just bought
Speaker A
what do you think? I found it in that new department store yesterday. I think it's perfect. It'll keep the sun off my face, and it'll go really well with the dress I'm wearing to the wedding. It's the same
Speaker A
color as my bag too. I just need a new jacket now. How did the woman get to work today? Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late. I missed the bus. I was trying to decide whether to walk or go back and get my bike when I
Speaker A
saw my neighbor. Luckily, he offered me a lift because he works near here. Where does the pollution come from? The stream is really dirty by the time it reaches the valley, but we've discovered where the pollution comes from. We already knew that the water was
Speaker A
pure in the mountains at the top, so we realized the pollution must come from somewhere in the forest. There is a village above the forest, but we tested the water there and it was fine. When must the boys get on the coach?
Speaker A
The football match starts at 2:30, but we should get there at half past 1:00. The coach will pick us up at 10 to 1, as it'll take us about 40 minutes to drive there. So we'll meet in the school car
Speaker A
park. Don't be late, boys, will you? What fruit do they take? Mom, have we got any fruit to take on the picnic? There were some oranges and bananas here. Are the bananas? Let's take those. Oh, the oranges have all gone. What
Speaker A
about taking some grapes or apples as well? Ok, let's take the grapes. That'll be enough. Which present has the man bought? Is the book in this bag for Mum then? I didn't think she was particularly interested in flowers. I thought she'd
Speaker A
like it to give her some good ideas for the garden, and even if she never reads it, it's got some lovely photos. I thought you were going to get those gloves I showed you in that shop last Saturday.
Speaker A
They match the scarf I've bought her. Where are the photographs? Have you seen my new passport photographs? I put them on the bookshelf. Oh, here they are, with your coffee cups. I hope they aren't dirty. Oh, sorry, I was
Speaker A
showing them to Pat. He says they make you look like that newsreader on the television.
