Jane:   Hi David. Have you got any plans for this evening? Some of us are thinking of going to the cinema.

David:   Hello Jane. That sounds great. What are you going to see?

Jane:   Well, we haven’t decided yet. There’s a new action film out – a James Bond film. But Robert’s coming and he isn’t a fan of action films.

David:   What else is on?

Jane:   Let me try and remember what I saw on the website. There was a romantic film – two people fall in love, but one of them gets ill and dies young. It sounds good, but really sad.

David:   No … I really don’t enjoy films like that at all. Are there any other choices?

Jane:   There’s a comedy, and people say it’s very funny. And a cartoon for children.

David:   Well what about the funny one? Everyone likes a laugh, don’t they?

Jane:   OK, yeah, why not? Shall we pick you up on our way there? About eight?

David:   That’s a plan!

John:   How was Scotland, Laura? Did you visit any universities?

Laura:   Yes, in Aberdeen, Dundee and St Andrews. The last one was in Edinburgh. We wanted to visit Glasgow, too, but there wasn’t enough time.

John:   Did you go alone?

Laura:   No. I was going to go with my mum but my dad and brother came, too.

John:   Where did you stay?

Laura:   The hotels were either full or too expensive. Then we learned that visitors can rent rooms in the universities. They were even cheaper than a guest house!

John:   What did you think of the universities?

Laura:   Well, most universities are in large cities and they all have interesting courses. But I preferred St Andrews because it’s by the sea and the countryside around it is beautiful. It’s one of the oldest universities in the world and Mum loved the buildings.

John:   What about Edinburgh?

Laura:   It’s a great city with lots of shops, cafes and museums, but it’s expensive to live there as a student.

John:   So have you decided where you want to go?

Laura:   Not yet.

Linda:   So, Peter, who are you going camping with?

Peter:   Well, Dave from work can’t make it, so Tom, Mike and Jon – you know them, old school friends. I’ll do a trip with colleagues another time.

Linda:   How long are you going for?

Peter:   It was going to be three nights – Thursday, Friday, Saturday, but now Jon and Mike have to be back by Saturday afternoon. It’s not a bad thing because I also want to do some things around the house. I really need to do some cleaning, and I’m thinking of painting the bathroom.

Linda:   Oh. You’re not all in one tent, are you?

Peter:   It’s a four-man tent with two sleeping sections, and each is big enough for two people.

Linda:   What you are doing for food?

Peter:   We don’t want to spend all our time cooking, and we don’t want to take lots of food. So we’re planning to eat in cafes and restaurants. We’ll take some milk and cereal with us for breakfast. That way we don’t have to pay for three meals a day.

Emma:   Hi Fabio. Did you go to the college fashion show last week?

Fabio:   Hi, Emma! Yes, I did! Did you?

Emma:   Yes, I went with some friends, but I didn’t see you there. Did you go alone?

Fabio:   I was going to go with a friend from college, but he was busy, so I went with my cousin Anna. She’s studying fashion design at university.

Emma:   When did you go? We were there on Sunday.

Fabio:   We actually went twice, once on Friday afternoon and then again on Saturday for the costume show.

Emma:   I missed that one. The children’s fashion show was interesting, but I didn’t like the sports clothes one. My friend Melissa didn’t like it, either. She said it was boring.

Fabio:   That was Anna’s opinion, too, but I thought all the shows were brilliant.

Emma:   There’s another exhibition next month: Beautiful Plastic. I’m making some earrings and a necklace for it, but people are also making bags, shoes, even clothes. All from plastic.

Fabio:   That sounds interesting. I’ll be there!
