Where is Aunt May going to play volleyball?

WOMAN:   Hello, Tom. Do you want to play volleyball with us this evening?

BOY:   Where are you going to play? At the beach?

WOMAN:   It will be too cold there. We’re going to play inside at the club.

BOY:   Not in the school playground? It’s good there.

WOMAN:   No.

1   Who else is going with Aunt May?

BOY:   Who’s going with you?

WOMAN:   Your mum’s going to play, too!

BOY:   Oh! What about Dad?

WOMAN:   No. He doesn’t like volleyball. He’s going to watch football on TV with your little cousin.

2   What has Aunt May lost?

BOY:   What are you going to wear?

WOMAN:   Oh … just shorts and a T-shirt.

BOY:   I always wear a hat when I’m playing. My hair gets in my eyes.

WOMAN:   I know. I usually wear one too but I can’t find mine today. I lost it at the beach, I think.

BOY:   When are you going to play, Aunt May? After dinner?

WOMAN:   Yes. We’re going to meet the others at about eight and we’ll start the game at about quarter past.

WOMAN:   But it’s Friday today.

BOY:   Oh, yes. No school tomorrow.

4   What has Aunt May forgotten today?

WOMAN:   Last week I forgot to take the ball and my towel!

BOY:   Why do you take a towel? Do you go swimming, too?

WOMAN:   No. I always take one because we have a shower after the game.

BOY:   Oh, so you need to take some soap, too.

WOMAN:   Oh … I’ve forgotten that this time. I must remember to put some in my bag.

5   What will Tom do this evening?

WOMAN:   So, Tom … will you play volleyball with us this evening?

BOY:   Well, no thank you. Aunt May. My friends are going to the circus so I’ll go with them.

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!

What does John like best at Century Park?

WOMAN:   What do you like best at Century Park, John?

BOY:   Well, the lake is beautiful, with all the swans on it.

WOMAN:   The pirate ship is good too.

BOY:   Mmm … but it’s only made of plastic. My favourite thing here is the little zoo.

1   Which T-shirt does John want?

WOMAN:   Shall I buy this T-shirt for you, John?

BOY:   Thanks, but I don’t like the dinosaurs on the front.

WOMAN:   Well, would you like this one with the different flags on it?

BOY:   Yes, that’s nice. I’d like that.

WOMAN:   Or there’s this blue and yellow one here.

BOY:   Oh, no. I hate spots.

2   What fruit is Mum eating?

BOY:   Close your eyes and taste this fruit. What is it? Can you guess?

WOMAN:   Mmm. It doesn’t taste like pineapple. Is it mango, perhaps?

BOY:   Wrong! Guess again.

WOMAN:   It could be watermelon.

BOY:   Right! Clever Mum!

3   What time are they going to meet Aunt Emma?

WOMAN:   We mustn’t forget to meet Aunt Emma here this afternoon.

BOY:   We mustn’t be late.

WOMAN:   Wait, I wrote it in my diary. Here it is: ‘a quarter to four’.

4   Where are they going to meet Aunt Emma?

BOY:   Where are we going to meet her?

WOMAN:   In the restaurant, on the other side of the park.

BOY:   Is it near the swings?

WOMAN:   No, you go past them and over the bridge. Then it’s straight on for half a kilometre …

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.

WOMAN:   Not Aunt Emma!

BOY:   She could catch a bus.

WOMAN:   There are no buses to Century Park today.
