Unit 1

That’s what friends are for! (1)

Chris: Do you have a date for the party yet?

Kim: Actually, I don’t ……Do you think you could help me find one? Chris: Hmm. What kind of guys do you like?

Kim: Oh, I like guys who aren’t too serious and who have a good sense of humor. You know ... like you.

Chris: OK. What else?

Kim: Well, I’d prefer someone I have something in common with – who I can talk to easily. Chris: I think I know just the guy for you. Bob Branson. Do you know him? Kim: No, I don’t think so.

Chris: Let me arrange for you to meet him, and you can tell me what you think. (2)

Dave: Hello?

Jim: Hi. My name’s Jim Hunt. I’m calling about the ad for a roommate. Dave: Oh, right.

Jim: Are you still looking for someone? Dave: Yes, we are.

Jim: Oh, good. I’m really interested.

Dave: Well, there are four of us, and it’s a fairly small house, so we want someone who’s easy to get along with.

Jim: I’m pretty easygoing.

Dave: Great! So can I ask you a few fairly straightforward questions about yourself? Jim: No problem. I like it when people are direct.

Unit 2

Career moves (3)

Tim: Wow! There are so many jobs to choose from! What do you think?

Diane: Working in the media could be fun – there’s TV, newspapers, the internet…. T: Well, let’s look. Hmm. How about this? You could be a TV news director. D: Are you kidding? Directing the news would be nerve-racking! T: Well, writing for a magazine must be exciting. How about that?

D: No. I’m really more interested in working with computers. Hey, look. Designing interactive media. I’d like that!

T: Designing interactive media? It sounds interesting, but what is it?

(4)

Tracy: Good news! I’ve found a summer job! Mark: That’s great! Anything interesting?

T: Yes, working at an amusement park. Doesn’t that sound fantastic? M: Sure, it does.

T: So, have you found anything?

M: Nothing yet, but I’ve got a couple of leads. One is working as an intern for a record company – mostly answering

phones. Or I can get a landscaping job again.

T: Being an intern sounds more interesting than landscaping. And it’s probably not as hard! M: Yeah, but a landscaper earns more money than an intern. And you get a great tan!

Unit 3

Could you do me a favor? (5)

Jack: Hi, Rod. This is Jack. Rod: Oh, hi, Jack. What’s up?

J: I’m going to my best friend’s wedding this weekend. I’d love to videotape it. Would you mind if I borrowed you video camera?

R: Um, yeah. That’s OK, I guess. I don’t think I’ll need it for anything. J: Thanks a million.

R: Sure. Have you used a video camera before? It’s pretty easy.

J: Yeah, a couple of times. Would it be OK if I picked it up on Friday night? R: Fine. No problem. (6)

Amy: Hello?

Jeff: Hello. May I speak to Sophia, please?

A: I’m sorry, she’s not in right now. Would you like to leave a message?

J: Yes, please. This is Jeff. Would you tell her that Tony is having a party on Saturday? A: Un-huh.

J: And would you ask her if she’d like to go with me? A: All right, Peter. I’ll give her the message. J: No, this is Jeff, not Peter. A: Oh, I’m sorry.

J: By the way, who’s Peter?

Unit 4

What a story! (7)

Jake: What an awful story! A couple was sailing their yacht from Hawaii to Mexico. While they were crossing the Pacific, their boat hit a whale and sank! Anne: Is that true? What happened to the whale?

J: It doesn’t say! Oh and here’s another one. A guy in Los Angles was robbing a bank. But as he was escaping, he got caught in the revolving door. A: I guess it was his first bank robbery!

J: Yeah. On and listen to this. Some guy got locked out of his house, so he tried to get in through the chimney.

A: Don’t tell me! He got stuck in the chimney!

J: Exactly. And he was still trying to get out two days later when the police rescued him. (8)

Brian: Someone stole my wallet last night! Kate: Oh no! What happened?

B: Well, I was working out, and I had put my stuff in my locker, just like I always do. When I came back, someone had stolen my wallet. I guess I’d forgotten to lock the locker. K: I’m sorry. That’s terrible! Did you lose much money?

B: Only about $20. But I lost my credit card and my driver’s license. What a pain!

Unit 5

Crossing cultures (9)

Fred: I hear Maggie is going to work in India.

Pam: India! Wow! I hear it’s a beautiful place, but I don’t think I could ever live there. F: Why not?

P: Well, it’s too far from home. I’d miss my family.

F: I don’t think I’d mind moving to a foreign country. The language is the only thing that I’d be worried about.

P: Yeah, but wouldn’t you miss your friends? F: Sure, for a while, but I’d make new ones. P: You certainly sound very confident.

F: You know, actually, there is one thing I’d miss. P: What’s that? F: My dog! (10)

Marta: Guess what! I just got invited to my teacher’s house for dinner! Karen: Oh, how nice.

M: Yes, but what do you do when you’re invited to someone’s house here? K: Well, it’s the custom to bring a small gift. M: Really? Like what?

K: Oh, maybe some flowers or dessert.

M: And is it all right to bring a friend along?

K: Well, if you want to bring someone, you’re expected to call first and ask if it’s OK.

Unit 6

What’s wrong with it? (11)

Clerk: Can I help you?

Helen: Yes, I’d like to return this jacket. C: Is there something the matter with it?

H: Yes. I didn’t notice when I bought it, but there are a few problems. First, it has a tear in the lining.

C: Hmm, actually, it’s torn in several places.

H: And some of the buttons are very loose, this one came off, in fact. And there’s a stain on the collar.

C: I’m really sorry about this. Would you like to exchange it for another one?

H: Well, to be honest, I don’t think this jacket is very well made. I’d rather get a refund. C: I understand. Do you have the receipt? (12)

Ms. Lock: Hello?

Mr. Burr: Hello, Ms. Lock. This is Jack Burr. L: Uh, Mr. Burr… in Apartment 205? B: No, in Apartment 305.

L: Oh, yes. What can I do for you? Does your refrigerator need fixing again? B: No, it’s the oven this time. L: Oh, so what’s wrong with it?

B: Well, I think the temperature control needs to be checked. Everything I try to cook gets burned. L: Really? OK, I’ll have someone look at it right away. B: Thanks a lot, Ms. Lock.

L: Uh, by the way, Mr. Burr, are you sure it’s the oven and not your cooking?

Unit 7

The word we live in (13)

Andy: Excuse me. Would you like to make a contribution to Greener World? Carla: Sure. What are you working on right now?

A: Well, we’re developing educational programs for schools. We want to show children how the oceans are being polluted by industrial waste. And we want to tell them about how fish supplies have been depleted through overfishing.

C: I think what you’re doing is terrific. I wish I could do more to help.

A: So, have you ever thought about becoming a member of Greener World? C: No, but tell me a little more about it. (14)

Andy: You know, there’s a factory outside town that’s pumping chemicals into the river. Carla: How can they do that? Isn’t that against the law? A: Yes, it is. But a lot of companies ignore those laws. C: That’s terrible! What can Greener World do?

A: Well, on thing to do about it is to talk to the management. C: What if that doesn’t work?

A: Well, then another way to stop them is to get a TV station to run a story on it.

C: Yes! Companies hate bad publicity. By the way, what’s the name of this company? A: It’s called Apex Industries.

C: Oh no! My uncle is one of their top executives!

Unit 8

Learning to learn (15)

Paula: Do you want to take a class with me at the community college? Jason: Maybe. What are they offering?

P: Well, here’s the course catalog. Take a look.

J: Hmm. They’ve got a lot of language classes – Chinese, German, Japanese. Would you rather learn an Asian language or a European one?

P: Um, actually, I think I’d rather take an art class. They have one on landscape photography and another on making videos.

J: That sounds OK. But I think I’d prefer studying video to learning about photography. P: OH, wait. It says here that you need to provide your own video equipment. J: Oh, I’d rather not spend a lot of money. Let’s see what else they’re offering. (16)
