Where is Aunt May going to play volleyball?

WOMAN:   Hello, Tom. Do you want to play volleyball with us this evening?

BOY:   Where are you going to play? At the beach?

WOMAN:   It will be too cold there. We’re going to play inside at the club.

BOY:   Not in the school playground? It’s good there.

WOMAN:   No.

1   Who else is going with Aunt May?

BOY:   Who’s going with you?

WOMAN:   Your mum’s going to play, too!

BOY:   What are you going to wear?

WOMAN:   Oh … just shorts and a T-shirt.

BOY:   I always wear a hat when I’m playing. My hair gets in my eyes.

4   What has Aunt May forgotten today?

WOMAN:   Last week I forgot to take the ball and my towel!

BOY:   Why do you take a towel? Do you go swimming, too?

WOMAN:   No. I always take one because we have a shower after the game.

BOY:   Oh, so you need to take some soap, too.

WOMAN:   Oh … I’ve forgotten that this time. I must remember to put some in my bag.

5   What will Tom do this evening?

WOMAN:   So, Tom … will you play volleyball with us this evening?

BOY:   Well, no thank you. Aunt May. My friends are going to the circus so I’ll go with them.

WOMAN:   I don’t want to do that, Jack.

5   How will they get to the cinema?

BOY:   Are we going to walk to the cinema like last time?

WOMAN:   Ermm … I think it’s too far. You were tired, remember? But there are too many of us to drive there in Dad’s car.

BOY:   Well, in a big taxi, then?

WOMAN:   Well, that’s quite expensive, but OK, we’ll do that.

BOY:   It’s going to be fun. I love birthdays!
