Jamie:   Hi, Mum! I’ve decided to move from my room at the university and into a flat with some friends.

Mum:   Is the flat near the university, Jamie?

Jamie:   About twenty minutes by bicycle and there are buses every half hour. But I’ll walk through the park and have breakfast at a café there with – my friends.

Mum:   Will the flat be quiet so you can study?

Jamie:   There’s a shoe shop downstairs, but it’s never busy, and there’s not much traffic.

Mum:   Is it expensive?

Jamie:   Two hundred pounds a week, but there are five of us, so that’s forty pounds each, which isn’t bad.

Mum:   Good. Does the flat have a nice kitchen?

Jamie:   Well, the fridge is old and the cooker’s a bit small, but that doesn’t matter – we can’t cook! Can I still use your washing machine, Mum, because there isn’t one there?

Mum:   Of course. When will you move?

Jamie:   On Saturday.

Mum:   If you can wait until the next day, Dad and I will help you, so you’re ready for classes on Monday.

Jamie:   OK. Thanks, Mum!

Maria:   Hi, Zak, this is Maria. I got a message about your sports bag but I didn’t understand it.

Zak:   Thanks for phoning, Maria. I’m still in hospital, so can you get my sports bag from school? It’s blue, not black and white like my school bag.

Sarah:   Hi, Jim. I like your walking shoes. I haven’t seen any like them in England before.

Jim:   They’re Italian, Sarah. I got them for my holiday in Austria last month.

Sarah:   I need some like them, because I’m going to go there too.

Jim:   Not many shops sell them. I got mine at the market, but they may have some at the new supermarket.

Sarah:   How much were they?

Jim:   I think they usually cost sixty-eight pounds, but mine were only forty-eight – so I paid twenty pounds less. I was really pleased.

Sarah:   I’ll get some this afternoon. Is there anything else special I should take?

Jim:   Well, pack a hat, because the sun can be strong in the mountains. I took a sweater and a jacket, but I never needed them.

Sarah:   Anything else?

Jim:   Take lots of T-shirts, one for each day you’re going to go walking.

Sarah:   That’s five days of my week’s holiday. And what about taking a phone?

Jim:   Well, there’ll be one in your hotel, if you want to call home. But take yours, because then you can call someone if you get lost in the mountains.

Sarah:   Thanks, Jim.

Man:   Hello, Dawn, I haven’t seen you for weeks.

Dawn:   Well, last month I went to California for a concert.

Man:   How did you get the concert ticket?

Dawn:   My computer wasn’t working, so I couldn’t use the internet, and the post takes too long, so I called the ticket office and booked one that way.

Man:   Really? Was your plane ticket expensive?

Dawn:   Well, most people pay three hundred and fifty pounds, but my student ticket was only two hundred and thirty pounds. Even flights booked on the internet cost three hundred pounds.

Man:   Great! Did you stay in a student hotel?

Dawn:   I was so lucky! My mother’s old schoolfriend let me use her apartment. That was nicer than going to a student place or a campsite.

Man:   Tell me about the concert.

Dawn:   Well, one group didn’t come so it finished an hour early. That made me angry! But the music was great and very loud – I loved it!

Man:   Did you go to the beach?

Dawn:   Well, it was a long bus trip to get there so I only went once. Anyway, I spent most days buying clothes.

Man:   It all sounds great!

Joe:   Hello. I’d like some information about French courses, please.

Woman:   Certainly. Beginners classes are on Wednesdays, other classes are on Mondays or Fridays.

Joe:   I’m a beginner and I’m going to France on holiday. I want to speak to people in shops and read information in museums and other places.

Woman:   Do ‘French for Tourists’ then. It’ll be better than our Business class and you want more than French Conversation.

Joe:   Great. I can only come in the evening.

Woman:   Fine, it starts at half past six, there’s a break at quarter past seven and you go on until half past eight.

Joe:   Is it a big class?

Woman:   We never have fewer than nine students or more than fifteen and … let me see, there are fourteen at the moment, so with you, the class will be full.

Joe:   OK. What about the coursebook?

Woman:   You’ll get that in the first class and a special notebook. Bring a dictionary – that’s always useful.

Joe:   Fine. Oh, how much is the course?

Woman:   It’s a hundred and seventy pounds for people from outside the city, but it’s twenty-five pounds less, or a hundred and forty-five pounds, if you live here.

Joe:   Oh, I do.

Woman:   Good. So let me just take your name …

Girl:   Hi Duncan. How was your tennis course at the weekend?

Duncan:   Well, I was actually there for five days, not two.

Girl:   Oh! Was the hotel nice?

Duncan:   Beautiful! We were high up in the mountains. We looked down on the lake, where we swam every morning, and across to the town on the other side.

Girl:   Was the teacher good?

Duncan:   Excellent. He’s worked here in England for ages but he was born in Canada, so he speaks French and English.

Girl:   I’d like to do the course. Was it very expensive?

Duncan:   Um, the full price in the summer is two hundred and sixty-five pounds, but it only cost me two hundred and five pounds because I’m a student. In the autumn it’s less – a hundred and eighty-five pounds.

Girl:   Hmm. Did you have to buy anything special?

Duncan:   I already had tennis clothes, and the hotel had racquets and balls, but I got some new shoes because my old tennis ones were too small.

Girl:   What did you do in the evenings?

Duncan:   Sometimes we watched videos of tennis matches, but on the last night we danced and sang songs in the hotel garden. That was great!
