Vivien:   Hi Tom.

Tom:   Hi Vivien. How was your meal last night?

Vivien:   Actually, it didn’t go too well. Firstly, we couldn’t get around the table. We’d booked for six people, but eight came.

Tom:   Oh dear!

Vivien:   Then they didn’t have anything for Monica to eat.

Tom:   She doesn’t eat meat or fish, does she?

Vivien:   That’s right. She’s a vegetarian. She wasn’t happy! Then they brought Mark the wrong dish. He ordered steak but they brought him chicken, so he sent it back, and then he had to wait again for his steak. What about your meal?

Tom:   The food was delicious, especially the dessert. Everything was perfect – until the bill arrived.

Vivien:   Was it expensive?

Tom:   Well, it was quite expensive, but we knew that from before. The problem was they gave us the bill for a different table. It took half an hour for them to fix the problem! In the end, they gave us a discount because of all the problems with the bill.

Vivien:   Well, that’s something at least.

Now listen again.

Sarah:   Hi Tom! Are you going on the trip next month?

Tom:   I’m not sure, Sarah. (11) I like the idea of staying on a farm, but not at a campsite.

Sarah:   (11) I know. (12) I usually stay in a guest house or hotel when I go on holiday with my parents. But this will be fun!

Tom:   I don’t think I want to be with my classmates for a whole week!

Sarah:   I think that makes it more interesting, don’t you?

Tom:   Maybe. But (13) won’t it be expensive?

Sarah:   (13) No. It’ll be really cheap as we’re going in a group. The teachers are lucky. They don’t pay!

Tom:   But, what if the weather’s bad?

Sarah:   Don’t worry, (14) it’s summer now. It’s not winter or spring, when it usually rains! I have heard the weather will be sunny these days.

Tom:   So, can we cook our own food on a fire outdoors?

Sarah:   Unfortunately, we aren’t allowed to.

Tom:   Why not?

Sarah:   Well, the campsite where we will stay belongs to the farm. So, we aren’t allowed to do what we like.

Tom:   So, (15) where will we eat? I don’t suppose there’s a café near there.

Sarah:   (15) No! [laughing] We’ll eat in the farm. Some people there will prepare food for us.

Tom:   Sounds good! Maybe I will come after all!

Mike:   Hi Zoe! (11) Have you heard about the arts festival? It starts next week.

Zoe:   No, but I’m not too interested in painting and drawing.

Mike:   Well, I’m not so interested, either! But (11) a friend was telling me about it. He goes to lots of arts events. He told me to look online. (12) There are some good concerts on, that we could go to!

Zoe:   (12) Really? That sounds interesting. (13) Are there any rock concerts that I would like? Or, is it classical music only?

Mike:   Most of it is classical. However, I think you’d like one of these concerts.

Zoe:   Oh, why? (14) Is someone famous playing?

Mike:   (14) Yes, Bob Wood. You know, the one who plays the guitar.

Zoe:   That sounds nice. Where’s the event?

Mike:   It was going to be in the old cinema, near the stadium. But (14) he’s so popular, that they’ve changed their plans. Now it’s going to be in the big exhibition centre.

Zoe:   I suppose I should get a ticket now. What date is it?

Mike:   Wednesday the 17th.

Zoe:   (15) Oh no. I can’t come! It’s my sister’s birthday.

Mike:   Can’t she come too? Or doesn’t she like music?

Zoe:   She does! That’s why (15) she’s asked me to do the music at her party!

Mike:   That’s a pity!
