M: Thanks anyway.
6. M: Hi, Rose. Summer holidays are coming. What would you like to do?
W: Hello, Bill. My mother and I are going to Shanghai to visit my grandparents. M: Your grandparents are in Shanghai? Great! My uncle works there, too. W: Have you been there before? M: Sure, I’ve been there three times.
W: Oh, three times? Then you must know the city very well. M: Not very well, but I took a lot of photos each time. W: Really? Can I have a look?
M: No problem. I’ll get you some photos tomorrow. 7. W: Good morning, doctor.
M: Good morning, Mrs. Brown. Well, what’s wrong with your son? W: He’s got a headache.
M: Have you taken his temperature, Mrs. Brown? W: Yes. His temperature seems to be OK. M: How long has he been like this? W: Since last night.
M: Has he had anything to eat this morning?
W: Yes. For breakfast he had some milk and an egg. M: Well, Mrs. Brown, I think he has caught a cold. W: Shall I keep him out of school?
M: Yes. He’d better stay inside for a day. Give him more water, he will be fine soon.
W: Thank you very much. M: You’re welcome.
8. M: Hi Helen. It’s been a long time since we saw each other last. What have you
been up to?
W: Hi, Tom! It’s great to see you again. I’ve been away on business. M: Really, where did you go?
W: Well, first I flew to New York for two meetings. After that, I flew to Atlanta, where I had to make a business visit. M: It sounds like you’ve been busy.
W: Yes, I’ve been very busy. It’s good to be home again. What have you been doing lately?
M: Oh, nothing much. I’ve been working in the garden these past few days. Alice has been away for the past two weeks visiting her relatives in Chicago. W: I didn’t know she has family in Chicago.
M: Yes, that’s right. We met at university in California. She was born in Chicago and lived there until she went to college. W: How long have you lived here in Colorado?
M: We’ve lived here for over 10 years. We moved here in 1998 because I had a new job as a salesman.
W: Have you lived in the same house since you arrived?
M: No. We moved here four years ago. We’ve lived on this street for four years
and they’ve been the happiest years of our lives. W: Yes, my husband and I also love this neighborhood.
9. One night, Mrs Riley, an elderly woman, was walking along a dark, London street. She was carrying her handbag in one hand and a plastic bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two young men. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall and strong with fair hair, the other was short and fat with black hair.
The two men waited for a few minutes, and then ran quickly and quietly towards Mrs Riley. The tall man held her from behind while the short man tried to take her handbag.
Suddenly, Mrs Riley threw the tall man over her shoulder. He fell and hit the other man heavily and they both landed on the ground. Without speaking, Mrs Riley struck both of them on the head with her handbag, and walked away.
The two surprised young men were still sitting on the ground when Mrs Riley crossed the street towards a door with a lighted sign above it. Mrs Riley stopped, turned round, smiled at the two men and walked into the South West London Sports Club.
