Leisure centre: Hello. How may I help you? Jim: Good morning, madam. My name is Jim Brown, and I was just wondering if you still accept any new members to the clubs at your leisure centre. Leisure centre: Of course we do. The registration is all the year round. What club are you particularly interested in, Jim? Jim: The thing is, I don't know. I guess I'm just bad at time management. I've got so much time on my hands, and I don't know how to spend it. Leisure centre: Don't you think you should probably devote more time to your school? Jim: Not really. You see, I'm a good student, and I only have excellent marks. It's just easy for me to study, and my homework doesn't take me long. Leisure centre: Okay, that was important for me to find out your joining the club will not interfere with your academic results. Then my first question is back. What do you enjoy doing, Jim? Jim: Well, I used to be interested in sports. I did karate and weightlifting. I still do a couple of sessions per week to keep in shape, but that's it. Leisure centre: I see. Anything else you like to do? Jim: Well, I'm quite fond of reading books and watching films, but everybody does that, don't they? Leisure centre: Yes and no. You may read a book or watch a film, and even like it, but forget it in a couple of weeks, as you have missed some really important ideas from it. Jim: How could I not understand the book I like? Leisure centre: You see, every book or every film is a reflection of some certain time and epoch. It's necessary to know the historical background of the time when the book was written. Sometimes knowing the writer's biography is crucial to fully appreciating the story. If it's a film, the director's style and symbols used in the film influence its final impression on you. Jim: It sounds exciting. I've never thought of such things. Leisure centre: At our leisure centre, we have a special club. If we are going to read a book or watch a film, we have lectures and seminars on the points I have just mentioned. Jim: I'd love to become a member of this club. Is it free? Leisure centre: It's free, but you'll have to get books. If you can't find it in your local library, you'll have to borrow it from somewhere or buy it. As for films, we watch them here. Jim: That suits me perfectly. Leisure centre: Take the form to fill in. Our classes are Tuesday and Friday, 5pm. Jim: Fine. Thank you very much, madam.

Amanda’s visit to Russia was in winter. D. Amanda doesn’t think John will need warm clothes. E. John will stay at his friend’s in Moscow. F. John has already bought gifts for his friend in Moscow. G. John is grateful to Amanda for her advice.

John: Hi, Amanda. Long time no see. How are things? Amanda: Oh, hi, John. I'm fine, thank you. How are you? John: Oh, I'm great. I'm planning my summer holidays, you know. Amanda: I bet you're going to travel somewhere. You've always had itchy feet. John: You're right, Amanda. I'm going to travel again, and this time my destination is Russia. Amanda: Ah, I love Russia. I've been there three times already. John: Actually that's why I was looking for you. You see, it's my first visit to the country, so I thought you might give me some tips. Amanda: Like do's and don'ts, right? John: Exactly. Amanda: OK, tip number one, plan your trip carefully. How long are you going to stay in Russia? John: About two weeks, I think. Amanda: That's not much, but it may be enough for the first visit. It's good it's summer now because summer is the best season to go to Russia. Winter travels may have their special charm, but you'd better not try it if you're not used to subzero temperatures. John: Good for me, I guess. Amanda: OK, shall we go further? Are you going to Siberia or the Far East, or are you going to stick to the central part of the country? John: The latter. Amanda: Anyway, take some warm clothes with you and take an umbrella. Rains in Russia are usual for any season except winter, and even in summer, the temperature is sometimes only plus three or plus five degrees centigrade (+5˚C). A jacket and a couple of sweaters will be enough. John: Got it. Do you think I'd be able to wash my clothes in the hotel? Amanda: There are laundry facilities in hotels, but it's quite expensive. I think you'd better buy a small packet with washing powder and do it yourself. It's only two weeks after all. John: Can I buy it when in Russia? Amanda: Of course. Well, are you going to travel alone or in the company of other people? John: I'm flying to Moscow alone and then my pen friend will meet me there and he will take me to my hotel. He has promised to show me the city and help when I need it. Amanda: Oh good! But, John, don't forget to take special gifts for him and for his family. Maybe you can take pictures of your family and your city as well. John: Thank you for your recommendations, Amanda. Look, I've got to go. Amanda: See you later. John: See you. Good luck

C. Mike’s parents don’t like visiting Spain. D. Jane thinks Peru is a safe place for visitors. E. Mike got ill during his stay in Peru. F. Mike is going to become a doctor. G. Mike will have to study longer than Jane.

Jane: Hi, Mike. It's so good to see you. I haven't seen you since the prom. Mike: Oh, hi, Jane. Yes, the prom was great, wasn't it? Jane: It certainly was. I have already watched the video of it a hundred times, I think. But where have you been? You disappeared right after the prom. Mike: Well, my parents went to Peru on a special expedition. You know, they are doctors, and they said they wanted to treat children in Peru during their summer vacation. Jane: Was it a charity project? Mike: Well, I'm not sure. They certainly didn't get paid for the three weeks there, but they knew that. They just wanted to help. They thought it was a shame for people with the medical skills and knowledge like theirs to have a beach holiday somewhere in Spain. Jane: Your parents are very good people. You must be proud of them. Mike: Oh, I am, believe me. Jane: But still, I don't understand why you joined them. It must have been very dangerous there. You know what I mean. The tropical illnesses, wild animals, poisonous plants. Mike: Well, I had to have a few shots, the ones which were absolutely necessary. Of course, I knew a trip to Peru might turn out to be dangerous, but I wasn't afraid. After all, my parents are doctors. If anything had happened with me, they would have cured me. Luckily, all of us were fine, including me. Jane: What did you do there? Did you help your parents all the time? Mike: They worked very long hours there, but I couldn't help much because I don't have any necessary skills. I now know exactly what I want to do in my future life. I want to be a doctor. Jane: Look who's talking! Your parents must have spent ages trying to talk you into following in their footsteps. Mike: Well, they finally succeeded, didn't they? In Peru, I repaired orphanages and played with the kids there. I did some other odd jobs, but when I become a doctor I'll be able to help much more. Jane: I see you have very strong motivation now. What do your parents think about it? Mike: They support me. I'll join the Red Cross when I get my diploma. Jane: You'll have to study for several years before it can happen. Mike: I know, but it's my dream and it will eventually come true. Jane: OK, good luck then. Look, I've got to go. My mum is waiting for me. We're going to do some shopping. Mike: See you later then. Jane: See you.

Betty loves her job as a babysitter. D. Betty thinks mobile phones are unhealthy for kids. E. Betty’s mother has asked her to buy a phone for her brother. F. All of Betty’s brother’s friends have mobile phones. G. Paul is going to the mall only to get a coffee there.

Paul: Hi, Betty. How are things? Betty: Oh, hi, Paul. It's good to see you. I'm OK. What about you? Paul: Well, I guess I'm fine. Are you up to anything interesting? Betty: Not much. I'm going to the mall. I need to buy a present for my little brother. It's his birthday next week. He's going to be six years old already. It's unbelievable! Paul: Yes, time flies. What do you want to buy as a present for him? It must be something special. Does he have any Lego? Boys love such toys. Betty: He's got several Lego sets already. He loves the Lego City series.nI don't think a new Lego set will be a very memorable present, though. Our granny gives him a Lego set every time she comes to visit which is not very often, of course, as she lives in Scotland. But still…. Paul: I see what you mean. Well, why don't you ask him what he wants for his birthday? Betty: I've asked him. He wants a smartphone. Paul: That's an expensive present for a boy of his age. Betty: I don't know. You can buy a simple smartphone at about the same price as a good Lego set these days. Anyway, I have enough money to buy him a phone, as I've been saving money for quite a while. You know, I babysit two evenings a week. Paul: Well, if you can afford it, why not? Betty: It's because I think he's too young for a smartphone. He'll play mobile games all day long and spoil his eyesight. It's not safe for children to use their mobiles a lot. Paul: You're right, I haven't thought about it. Besides, he can easily lose it while playing outdoors. However, your mum may feel much better knowing that she can phone him any time. Betty: Exactly. If he goes to play with his friends to their places, it's much more convenient for my mum to call him on his mobile. Paul: Do his friends have mobile phones? You see, if they do, it's going to be very difficult to talk him out of getting a mobile. A monkey sees it, a monkey wants it! Betty: Yes, most of his friends have mobile phones already. I guess I will just buy it. We'll see what will happen. Paul, why don't you go to the mall with me? Are you free now? Paul: Yes, I am. In fact, I need to do some shopping too. Why don't we have a coffee and a cake in one of the cafes in the mall afterwards? We can catch up with each other's news. Betty: So, what are we waiting for? Let's go!

Mary is looking forward to a tour of Scotland. C. Mary is good at taking photographs. D. Mary thinks a shopping spree would be a good idea. E. It’s high time Mary’s room was redecorated. F. Mary knows exactly what her new room will be like. G. Miranda’s sister is going to redecorate Mary’s room.

John: Hi, Mary. I haven't seen you for ages. How are you? Mary: Oh, hi, John. I'm glad to see you too. I'm so-so, actually. John: Really? What's up? Aren't you enjoying your summer holidays? Mary: Summer holidays are always great, John. Of course, I'm happy about not having to get up early in the morning and do piles of homework. John: What's the matter then? Mary: Well, remember my grandparents gave me a generous check for my birthday? John: Do I remember? I was green with envy. If I got that money, I would go travel somewhere. Mary: Well, I decided not to travel anywhere very far this year. I might take a tour of Scottish castles and lakes. Miranda, my best friend, took it last year, and she has amazing photos. I'd love to see it all with my own eyes. John: I guess it's going to be a truly unforgettable experience, but you'll still have a lot of money left. Will you go on a shopping spree? Mary: Certainly not. That would be a very unwise thing to do. My grandparents have probably saved this money for a couple of years. I want to do something good and memorable. John: You could give the money to charity. Mary: My granny could have done it herself if that was the purpose. John: Okay, I agree with you there. I say, why don't you redecorate your room? You would certainly enjoy the result and it will always remind you of your grandparents. Mary: Oh, John, that's not a bad idea. My room does look a bit shabby and needs repairing. John: See, I knew you'd like that. Mary: Now I have another problem. The last time my room was repaired, ages ago, my mum and dad made all the decisions about the wallpaper and the furniture and things like that. Now I want it to be different. John: Of course. Now you have a chance to do everything the way you want. Mary: The thing is, I don't know exactly what I want. I just have some images in my head, and I don't know how to make it all real. John: I say, Mary, why don't you call a design company? They will understand what you want and show you some ideas. You'll choose one, and they will help you to find the repairman and select the new furniture and decorations. Mary: Another great idea from you, John. Miranda's sister works for such a company. I should call her. John: So what are you waiting for? Do it right now.
