What did Richard win in the competition?

BOY:   I won a competition at school today.

WOMAN:   Excellent! What did you win – a book?

BOY:   No. This time I won a CD.

WOMAN:   Mmm. You don’t look very happy.

BOY:   Well, Mum, my CD player is broken – remember?

1   What did Richard buy at the shop?

WOMAN:   Did you get those things from the shop for me?

BOY:   Yes, and no. I bought the envelopes you wanted, but they didn’t have any paper.

WOMAN:   And did you remember the dictionary?

BOY:   Oh, sorry! I forgot it.

2   What homework has Richard got tonight?

WOMAN:   Have you got any homework tonight?

BOY:   Well, I haven’t got any math now.

WOMAN:   Why not?

BOY:   I did it on the bus. But I still have to read about a famous painter tonight, for art.

WOMAN:   Your geography teacher never gives you any homework. Why is that?

BOY:   He does sometimes, Mum … but not this week.

3   Which of these is clean?

BOY:   I’m going to play football tomorrow morning, Mum.

WOMAN:   Oh! You didn’t tell me – your shorts are dirty.

BOY:   Oh, Mum! I can still wear them. Is my football shirt clean?

WOMAN:   No, I haven’t washed that yet. But there are some clean socks in your cupboard.

4   How is Richard going to get to the football game?

BOY:   Can Dad take me to the game tomorrow?

WOMAN:   He can’t. We’ve got a problem with the car. Can you go by bike?

BOY:   Yes. The game is early in the morning, and there isn’t a bus at that time.

WOMAN:   I know.

5   What job does Richard want to do?

WOMAN:   Well, Richard, perhaps one day you’ll be a famous footballer!

BOY:   Oh, Mum! I want to be a photographer. You know that!

WOMAN:   Are you sure? When you were younger you wanted to be a pilot.

BOY:   I know. But I feel different now.

What is Jack looking at on the computer now?

WOMAN:   Jack! Are you using the computer again? Are you playing games?

BOY:   I am using the computer, Mum, but I’m reading some emails from my friends.

WOMAN:   Well, be quick because I want to find a map of London. Jack?

BOY:   Yes, Mum!

1   Why does the family want to go to London?

BOY:   Can I go to London with you?

WOMAN:   Yes, of course.

BOY:   Why do you want to go there – to see your friends again?

WOMAN:   No, I want to go to the theatre with Dad on his birthday! It’s a secret. You mustn’t tell him.

BOY:   Great! Can we go to a restaurant there too?

WOMAN:   We won’t have enough money for that, Jack.

2   What will Jack and his mother buy?

BOY:   Have you bought Dad a present yet?

WOMAN:   No, but I need to use the computer for that too. Shall we buy him a nice book?

BOY:   He’s got a lot of books already. Let’s get him a DVD. You can buy those on the computer.

WOMAN:   Good idea – or some golf balls?

BOY:   No, Mum. He likes watching films more than playing golf.

WOMAN:   OK!

3   What must Jack find out about on the computer?

BOY:   I need to find out about something on the computer too, later. It’s for my homework.

WOMAN:   About the artist? The one that your teacher told you about?

BOY:   No. We did that last week. I need to know more about an important photographer. We looked at some of his pictures yesterday in art at school.

WOMAN:   OK. I’ll help you with that. And I want to find out about that famous singer. The one I heard on the radio yesterday.

BOY:   Perhaps you can buy one of his CDs too!

WOMAN:   Perhaps …

4   What can Jack’s best friend do well on his computer?

BOY:   You know my best friend at school? The one who’s very good on the computer?

WOMAN:   Yes. Can he write very fast when he uses one?

BOY:   No, but he can draw really well on it. He’s excellent at that. I want to learn too.

WOMAN:   Well, he can give you lessons, then! My friend at work writes music on hers. She’s very good at that.

5   What’s wrong with the computer now?

BOY:   I’ve only got three emails now. Oh, Mum! The computer’s stopped working.

WOMAN:   What’s the matter with it? Has it got lots of lines on it or spots again?

BOY:   No, it’s all black. What shall I do?

WOMAN:   Wait a minute. I’ll come and look at it. Oh, computers! Sometimes I love them and sometimes I hate them!

BOY:   Oh, no. I hate spots.

2   What fruit is Mum eating?

5   How is Aunt Emma going to get to Century Park?

BOY:   How is Aunt Emma going to get here?

WOMAN:   She’ll come by bicycle.

BOY:   But it’s too far. She could take a taxi.

5   What’s the matter with Michael now?
