Mrs Lee:   So, tell me about my trip to Europe. Will I leave on Saturday or Sunday?

Secretary:   I’ve booked your ticket for Saturday, Mrs Lee. Let me see, that’s the 11th and your plane leaves at 10 a.m.

Mrs Lee:   So, I’ll get to the airport at about eight.

Secretary:   Yes. And you’ll arrive in London at eleven fifty – you won’t stop in Frankfurt this time. Mr Porter from our Amsterdam office will arrive at about the same time, so you can go together to your meeting at the factory – no time to go to the hotel, I’m afraid.

Mrs Lee:   OK. And after the meeting?

Secretary:   You’ll have the afternoon free. Then in the evening you’ll meet Jane and Peter Cook.

Mrs Lee:   Is that at their home?

Secretary:   Not this time. You’re going to meet in a Japanese restaurant near your hotel. Then the next morning you’ll go to Paris on the train.

Mrs Lee:   Yes, that’s better than flying again.

Peter:   Actually it’s called the ABC Driving School.

Friend:   When are you going to take your driving test?

Peter:   I failed it last week. The traffic lights were red but I didn’t see them and I couldn’t brake in time.

Friend:   Never mind. You can take the test again. Tell me about your teacher. Is he friendly?

Peter:   He’s OK, he’s quite young and interesting to talk to, but my father will give me my next lessons. He’s cheaper!

Friend:   Well, good luck!
