Mum: Hi, Alex, I’m home. Did you see my notes?

Alex: Er… yes.

Mum: Did you do anything?

Alex: Er… not quite.

Mum: So, what did you do?

Alex: Well, I didn’t do the shopping. I didn’t know what to buy. And I didn’t finish my homework but there isn’t much to do.

Mum: Did you tidy your room?

Alex: Well, no. I didn’t tidy my room and I didn’t learn any French.

Mum: What about your English book?

Alex: Oh yes. I read some of that.

Mum: How much?

Alex: Well, I read much. About half a page. It was really boring and I wanted to write to Aunt Louisa.

Mum: That’s good. I’ve got a stamp here. You can go and post the letter.

Alex: Well, I wanted to write it but I didn’t know it. Not all of this. It’s not my fault. Jason came round and he stayed all day.

Fiona: So, how was the match? Did you win?

Royce: No, we didn’t win but we didn’t lose. It was 2-2.

Fiona: Did Aggie come and see you play?

Royce: Yes, but she didn’t stay until the end. I scored a goal but she didn’t see it.

Fiona: Did you phone her and tell her?

Royce: It was the first thing I did when the match finished.

Fiona: What did she say?

Royce: Not much. She didn’t sound very exited!

Fiona: Oh well, never mind. You weren’t very exited when she was in the school tennis tournament.

Royce: I remember that. I didn’t go. I went to the cinema with Max. She didn’t speak to me for three days!

Harry: Where did you stay?

Brian: We stayed in a hostel. I didn’t have my own room. There were five of us together.

Harry: Did you know any other people?

Brian: No, I didn’t. Not at first. But I didn’t have any problems. I soon made lots of friends.

Harry: What did you do in the evenings?

Brian: There were parties and discos. I didn’t go out. I didn’t have any money.

Hi Cooleen,

I’m sorry, I didn’t phone you last night, I was very tired. I didn’t do anything. Did you have a nice time with Jerry? What did you do? Where did you go? Did I tell you about the kayaking trip? Mrs Bryce told us about it on Friday when you were at home, sick. We didn’t get any information about how much it costs or when we have to be at school. I don’t think Mrs Bryce knows yet but I’m really exited about it.

See you tomorrow.

1. Who are the people?

   D I think the girl is a university student. She looks about 20 years old. The other two are probably friends from university.

2. Where are they?

   F They are in the forest. They aren’t wearing coats so I think it is summer.

3. How is the girl feeling?

   B She is in pain. Maybe she’s worried that she can’t get home. Perhaps she thinks her friends are angry with her.

Ellen: Are you OK, Liz?

Liz: I think so. Owww!

Max: You shouldn’t try to stand up on your own. It’s important to be careful. In fact, don’t stand up all at the moment.

Ellen: Should I phone your mum?

Liz: No, don’t. She always worries a lot about me. I’m fine. I just need a rest.

Max: You really should go to the hospital and get an X-ray. I don’t think it’s broken but you should know exactly what’s wrong. You should a----o put a bandage on it to protect it. I’ve got one here in my backpack somewhere.

Liz: OK. Should I take off my boot?

Max: Yes, then we can put the bandage on it… it doesn’t look very bad. Tell me if I’m hurting you.

Liz: No, it’s fine.

Max: Let’s have a rest and see how you feel in ten minutes.

Ellen: And m—e s—e that you don’t fall over again!

Liz: I’ll try not to!

Terry: Sue, I want to star jogging because I need to get fitter and lose some weight. You go jogging a lot. Have you got any advice you can give me?

Sue: Yes. First at all, you must get some food running shoes.

Terry: OK, and how far you should run?

Sue: Not very far when you start. It’s important not to do too much. It can be very dangerous. Some people have heart attacks.

Terry: Oh, wow! Anything else?

Sue: You shouldn’t run on hard roads. It’s bad for legs. Try to find a path in the forest or a good running track. Make sure you take a lot of water to drink and you should also take a mobile phone.

Terry: Why?

Sue: Because something could happen to you. When you’re a long way from home, it’s important to have some way to contact people who can help you. You should really go with someone else. It’s safer and more fun.

Terry: Can I go with you?

Sue: Maybe when you’re fitter. I go a long way and quite fast. You should go with someone who is starting to jog. Why not ask Carla? She wants to get fit too.
