W: Don’t take too long at the coffee shop. The football match begins at 7:00 pm.

M: I see. We still have 30 minutes left. It’s only a 20-minute walk to the stadium from here.

W: You haven’t forgotten our son, have you? He is interested in the match. We need to pick him up at his school.

M: Why isn’t he going by bike as usual?

W: By bike? Don’t you remember that he lost his bike last week and he walks to school now.

M: Oh, sorry I forgot it. Anyhow, there’s no need to worry. Let’s drive to school right now.

W: Hello, front desk.

M: Yes.

W: This is Marisa in Room 307.

M: Well, yes. How can I help you, Miss Marisa?

W: I want to take a shower, but there is no hot water.

M: I can’t understand that. Have you turned the handle all the way to the right?

W: I’ve been trying to get hot water for 10 minutes. It’s still freezing cold.

M: Well, a lot of people take showers before breakfast. Maybe if you wait a while, it’ll heat up again.

W: Wait? I have an important meeting to attend in an hour, and I also have to wash and dry my hair.

M: Your shower has absolutely no hot water?

W: No, none at all.

M: I will send a worker to repair it right away. He will be there within 2 minutes.

W: OK. But don’t send anyone within 5 minutes. I need to get dressed.

Good morning, everyone. My name’s Margaret Sayles. I’m a journalist who specializes in travel. Some of you may read the travel section of the newspaper, so you know the kinds of articles I write.

Anyway, I’m not here to tell you about my job. I’ve been invited here by the Astoria Tourism Agency to tell you about travel to Astoria. Now as I’m sure most of you know, Astoria is a rather large island located eleven hundred kilometers from New Zealand. As you can see on this map here, it’s about 25 percent larger than New Zealand, and it has quite a different shape. While New Zealand’s long and thin, Astoria has the shape of a square.

Now, I guess none of you here has been to Astoria yet, so let me give you a bit of a description. Most of the people there live in the northern half of the island. This part of the island is warmer than the southern half, but it wouldn’t be fair to say that southern half is cold. In fact, the whole island is close enough to the Equator so that no matter how far south you go, you wouldn’t even need a sweater to stay warm. So we can see it’s a wonderful tourist attraction in any season.

M: Hello , Jason Smith speaking.

W: Er…Mr. Smith I’m phoning about your advertisement for an air stewardess.

M: Oh, yes. Could I have your name please?

W: Yes. My name is Penny Maggie, M-A-G-G-I-E.

M: M-A-G-G-I-E. Um…are you a graduate?

W: Yes. I graduated from UEA, the University of East Anglia last year. I studied French and Italian there.

M: What kind of work experience have you had ?

W: Well, I worked at Holiday Restaurant in West Road for five months, then I began to work for Jade Travel Agency. I’ve been working there for about three months.

M: I see. And…er…you want to be a stewardess?

W: Yes, very much. When I was a child, I dreamt of being an air stewardess. You see, I really like traveling and meeting people.

M: OK, Miss Maggie, well,…um. Could you come in for an interview…say 2:30 on Friday afternoon ?

W: Yes, that would be fine.

M: Good. We’re on the sixth floor of the ABB Building in Oxford Street.

W: Thank you, see you then.
