W: Me, too. Mrs. Smith always sets a hard paper, doesn’t she? M: You’re right, and I failed last time. (Text 6)
W: How about eating out tonight for a change? M: It’s an idea, I suppose. Where shall we go? W: There’s a new Italian place which has just opened. M: That might be worth a try and we can take the bus. W: Let’s walk there. It’s not far. M: OK.
W: And we could invite Amelia and Rob, too.
M: But it’s too far for them. They’d need to drive there. Besides, Rob has a flight to London tonight. (Text 7)
M: Linda! I was looking for you. I wanted to ask you what you are planning to do this weekend.
W: What’s up, Doug? I was supposed to watch a concert with my sister, but she canceled our appointment at the last minute. Now I have no plans.
M: We are planning to go climbing in the Azusa Mountains on Saturday. You really must join us.
W: That sounds great, but I haven’t climbed for a while. I’ll get tired easily. M: All you have to do is walk and enjoy the scenery of the mountains along the way. The mountain is not that tall. There’s no way you can’t do it. Plus, we are going to have a delicious picnic at the top of the mountain.
W: OK. I certainly love picnics. I’m starting to get excited about climbing now! I’d better get a good pair of shoes. (Text 8)
M: Hey, what about these ties? Which do you prefer, the green one or the black one? W: I prefer the black one but I think you’ll take the red tie I saw in Camden Market. The color suits your jacket perfectly. M: Yeah.
W: What do you think of this dress?
M: It would look really good with high heels.
W: High heels? I don’t like high heels much. I find them really uncomfortable. M: I guess it would look good with the shoes you’re wearing. Are you getting the

dress?
W: I’m not sure … I’d like to look in the market first before I decide whether to buy it or not.
M: I’d rather go for a coffee than look at more clothes now. (Text 9)
W: What are you reading?
M: An article about this guy … Frane … Selak. They’ve called him the unluckiest man in the world. It looks like he’s had an unbelievable life. W: Unbelievable? How?
M: Well … It started in the 1960s. He says he was on a train that came off the tracks and crashed into a river — he survived but the other 17 people died! W: Lucky.
M: Frane did break his arm, though. Anyway, the next year he was flying on a small plane, which also crashed. Just as it was about to crash, one of the doors opened — the article says it had a fault — and he was sucked out. He escaped unhurt but nobody on the plane survived. W: That’s unbelievable!
M: I know. Then a few years later, Frane was in a bus accident. There was heavy rain and the bus lost control on the wet road and crashed into a river. He survived, although 20 people drowned. Then Frane was in a car that caught fire while he was driving it on the motorway. He managed to get out with seconds to spare before the fuel tank exploded.
W: I don’t know whether he’s unlucky or extremely lucky, but I don’t think I ever want to travel with this guy. (Text 10)
W: About two years ago I went with my class on our first school trip — five days in Paris! There were about thirty of us and four teachers. We all went in one big coach from our school in London. The teachers told us to be at school at four thirty in the morning. Everyone was there on time, but the coach didn’t arrive until five o’clock and we didn’t leave until five thirty! We were very cold and tired. Anyway, the coach was very comfortable and we watched a DVD and listened to some music on the journey. We had some sandwiches and drinks with us, so we went straight to Paris without stopping. The hotel was very old, but our room was nice and the bed was great! I shared the room with three other girls.

When we went shopping I tried to practice my French a few times but sometimes I didn’t know the right words and spoke in English instead! The shops were great — I bought lots of presents, such as a dress for my mother, a bag for my dad and a T-shirt for my little sister!
I think what I enjoyed most was the boat trip. I took lots of photos of my friends and the wonderful art galleries. I was sad to leave Paris. I had a lovely time there.
