Luis:   Charlotte! I’ve got the computer game called Green Space.

Charlotte:   Where did you find out about it, Luis?

Luis:   I borrowed a magazine from a schoolfriend and there was an ad for it. I asked my mum and she bought it for me from their website.

Charlotte:   I really like that game. It’s not new, but it’s my favourite game because it isn’t easy. I play it a lot, which is strange because it’s not funny at all! Who are you going to play it with?

Luis:   Well, my brother’s too busy studying, and my cousin Amy only likes board games. But my granddad has lots of time, so I want to play with him. How long do you usually play it for?

Charlotte:   When I was sick last Wednesday, I played for an hour and a half. Then, on Friday, an hour. And on Saturday, three quarters of an hour! Which part do you like best?

Luis:   Crossing the river’s really good, but the bit I enjoy most is finding something to eat. The part about building a hut’s my least favourite.

Jasmine:   Thank you for taking me camping with you last weekend, Aunt Lizzie.

Lizzie:   It was great, wasn’t it, Jasmine? Especially when we went swimming. It was too windy to swim in the sea, but the lake was great anyway. Perhaps next time we can try the river.

Jasmine:   Sleeping in a tent was new for me. I was worried about it on the first night, but I soon found out how exciting it is! My brother was very unhappy that he couldn’t come with us.

Lizzie:   Cooking was fun. Well, sometimes. It was difficult to cook the omelette, but I loved grilling the steak on a barbecue. Did you like the pasta I made?

Jasmine:   Yes, I was really hungry that day.

Lizzie:   The campsite was quite big, but it’s a pity they didn’t have anywhere to buy food and things. And the showers were a bit dirty, but OK. Which activity did you like best?

Jasmine:   Well, running in the forest was OK, but hard. But fishing was amazing, even more fun than cycling!

Lizzie:   I’m glad you had a good time.

Hitomi:   Hi, Freddie. I went to Hardin Castle on Saturday.

Freddie:   Did you go with your family or was it a class trip, Hitomi?

Hitomi:   My class visited a factory. I went with the family who live next door to us.

Freddie:   But the weather wasn’t good on Saturday …

Hitomi:   Yeah, it rained, but I didn’t mind. It wasn’t cold and windy like today. Today’s worse!

Freddie:   I went to Hardin Castle last year. I saw the dining room … but I liked upstairs better, especially the Queen’s bathroom.

Hitomi:   Me too! I thought the yellow bedroom was strange. Why did you go to the castle? Was it to take photos? I know that’s your hobby.

Freddie:   To get some information about wild birds. And I saw my history teacher when I was there!

Hitomi:   Did you talk to him?

Freddie:   Yes. There are lots of interesting things to do at the castle. Next week, there’s a race. You have to run five kilometres. Then, next month, you can see some cars that are over fifty years old!

Hitomi:   Do they do painting courses?

Freddie:   The next one’s next summer!

Tommy:   Olga, you’re coming to the class party at school, aren’t you?

Olga:   Yes, Tommy. I’m glad it’s at the end of June because I’m having my birthday party on the first of July.

Tommy:   And the twenty-eighth’s better than the twenty-fifth because it’s a Friday!

Olga:   What are you going to wear?

Tommy:   Either my black jeans or blue shorts.

Olga:   Wear your new black T-shirt with blue shorts.

Tommy:   OK.

Olga:   I’m a bit worried about the party.

Tommy:   Why? You’re not singing in front of everyone like in the school concert or playing the guitar like last year.

Olga:   But I’ve got to help make sure everything’s clean and tidy after the party, and that might take a long time.

Tommy:   I don’t think so. Actually, I’ll probably arrive late.

Olga:   Why?

Tommy:   I want to be in the tennis match at my sports club. I won’t have time to get the bus, but my mum will drive me to the party.

Olga:   Oh, OK. Is your mum cooking some food for the party?

Tommy:   Yes, and we’ll bring some paper plates. And you’ve got some balloons, haven’t you?

Olga:   That’s right.

Dan:   Can you help me? I’d like to find out about buying a skateboard.

Man:   Do you want one made of wood or plastic?

Dan:   Plastic. I know they aren’t always cheap, but all my friends have plastic ones. My brother’s plastic board has strong, heavy wheels.

Man:   OK. What colour would you like?

Dan:   Those purple ones look great and the yellows are fun, buy grey’s a better colour for me.

Man:   Good. Now let’s think about how wide your skateboard should be. It’s actually in centremetres. Are you a beginner?

Dan:   Yes.

Man:   The widest ones, twenty centimetres, are best for advanced skateboarders. Then there’s eighteen centimetre ones, but for people who are new to the sport sixteen’s good.

Dan:   OK. On the poster on the wall, it says there’s a free gift this month. What is it?

Man:   The poster next to the backpacks? Yes, we can give you a pair of gloves.

Dan:   I like those scarves, too. I’ll have to come with my dad to buy my skateboard.

Man:   Good idea. Remember the store isn’t open on a Wednesday.

Dan:   I think my dad’s busy on Saturday, so we’ll come on Friday.

Man:   Fine

Nadia:   Hi, Tom. We start our new school next week.

Tom:   Yes, how are you going to get there, Nadia?

Nadia:   It’s not far, so I don’t need to take a bus. I’ll cycle because I’ll have too many heavy books to walk there.

Tom:   I’ve got my new uniform.

Nadia:   Me too! My jacket’s fantastic!

Tom:   The blue shirt’s best, I think. Not boring like the trousers!

Nadia:   There are a lot of students in the new school.

Tom:   The blue shirt’s best, I think. Not boring like the trousers!

Nadia:   There are a lot of students in the new school.

Tom:   I know the number exactly. Mum told me: one thousand and fifty-five. Our told school only had around eight hundred.

Nadia:   My first school only had about four hundred and seventy-five children.

Tom:   Chemistry is a new subject for us.

Nadia:   Yes, I don’t know if I’ll like it, but I love maths, so I think I will. Will we study biology?

Tom:   I’m not sure. We’ll find out on our first day.

Nadia:   Oh yeah, we’ll talk to all our teachers before we go to our class. In the second week, they’ll show us how to use the library. There’ll be a quiz about it.

Tom:   Great!
