Nancy doesn’t want to participate in the family business because 1) she is allergic to cats. 2) she doesn’t like animals. 3) she’s chosen another profession.

Text A. Hi, everyone! I’d like to give you some advice on our hiking holiday. Tomorrow I’ll be waiting for you at the railway station at 8 a.m. It’s hot, but anyway don’t go with bare legs. Our route goes through bushes and rocky hills. Wear comfortable jeans or sports trousers if you don’t want your legs to be scratched or mosquito bitten. Do not forget water but don’t take much food. We’ll be taking breaks at places equipped with barbeques where we can enjoy baked and grilled food. Text B. Hi, Steve! It’s Mary. I’ve already ordered a cherry-cake for mum’s birthday, so don’t worry about it. Now I’m in the shopping centre, looking for a present for mum from both of us. I’ve found nothing except a large indoor plant in a ceramic pot. At first, I wanted to buy her an umbrella but they all had an awful flower print, which I think she won’t like. As for the green plant, she’s always liked things like that. If you agree, I’ll pay and order the delivery. Bye! Text C. Max: You’re always busy at weekends, Nancy. What is wrong? Nancy: Nothing, Max! I just have to help my mum in her vet clinic. They’re doing some renovations there. Max: Oh, yeah! A small family business always requires time and effort. Are you going to work as a vet too, together with your mum? Nancy: She’d be happy! My sister is allergic to cats, dogs and whatever. So, I’m mum’s only hope of taking over the clinic which she’s so proud of, but… Max: Don’t tell me you don’t like animals. Nancy: Of course, I do! But I’ve always dreamed of a career in professional sports, which can’t be combined with running a clinic! Max: No, it can’t! Text D. Alice: It’s almost lunchtime! Are you hungry, Ron? Ron: No, Alice! Not really, but I wouldn’t mind some pancakes with strawberry jam! Alice: I wouldn’t mind pancakes either! But sorry, we’ve got neither eggs nor milk to make them! What we can make is either spaghetti or sandwiches with ham and cheese. Ron: You know what I’ll choose, don’t you? Alice: Oh, yeah! I know that you’re happy to eat spaghetti three times a day! Ok. I’ll have it too, so as not to cook anything else. Would you like your spaghetti with some sauce or with salad? Ron: With tomato sauce, please. Alice: It would be nice of you to help me set a table.

I dislike cinemas 4. I find cinemas expensive 5. I learn from these films 6. I recommend this film

Presenter: Good afternoon. Today we have asked 5 people to give us a short interview and share their opinions about films and cinema. Now we would like to present their opinions to you. Speaker A. Don’t get me wrong! I love watching films on the big screen but the rest of the experience is pretty awful! Just imagine, you’re in the cinema, ready to see the film and someone next to you has a bag of popcorn or a bag of sweets, so they open it up, half-way through the film and to make things worse, they start chewing loudly! That drives me mad! Or even worse they talk on their cellphones through the entire movie and start kicking the back of my chair accidently or otherwise. Speaker B. There are different ways to choose a good film to watch. Personally, I always read the official reviews on the Internet. I believe the things that professional critics say about the plot, the acting and the shooting. If they say the film is worth seeing, I go and see it. Apart from that, I rely on my friends’ opinions, as our tastes in films are quite similar. They know what genres I like and which I don’t. In most cases these recommendations are more than enough for me. Speaker C. I am sure that it is one of the most celebrated films in the entire history of filmmaking, a great all-time classic! It has everything that makes it just fantastic: a talented director, a perfect cast, a great soundtrack, a touching story, you name it! The shooting and acting are superb! It’s not an epic, not a horror, but a drama that will suit most viewers’ tastes. It’s absolutely essential to watch it at least once. Personally, I watch it every time I feel sad or disappointed. It just lifts up my mood! Speaker D. I’m a great cinema and film fan. However, there are some genres I never watch. Like, I don’t watch horror films, they seem to be all about the scare factor and in most cases, they do not have a good plot or story. You’ll never see me watching an action film either. They’re almost always the same. The good guys try to save the world. No special characters, nothing that makes me interested in the story, and I’m not interested in seeing fights and car races for hours and hours. Speaker E. I don’t like going to the cinema, I haven’t been there for almost ten years. I don’t do well, sitting and doing one thing for an hour and a half. I don’t feel safe, plus, I can’t make myself pay for a ticket and spend that much money on snacks only to sit in the dark and focus on one thing! When I’m in my room or in the kitchen, I can do other things while I’m watching a movie, like having a snack or making dinner. Then I can pause it any time I need, so it’s really convenient.

Interviewer: First of all, I would like to thank you for agreeing to take part in our survey! It's really very important for us. Respondent: My pleasure. Interviewer: I see that you've just left the library. Do you often go there to borrow books? Respondent: In fact, I was in the library for a different reason. I work there. I'm a librarian. Interviewer: So, you are a librarian, aren't you? Okay. Have you ever worked in any other places? Respondent: Of course! I've worked as a waitress, a secretary, an office manager and whatever. This is my twelfth job in fact. Interviewer: You've already tried twelve different jobs! Fantastic! Respondent: Yes! I enjoy trying new things and learning new skills! Interviewer: Right! Can I ask you about the foreign languages you speak? Respondent: Of course! The language I learned in college was Chinese and I'm still learning it because you can never speak Chinese well enough. Interviewer: Oh, it's so difficult! Why didn't you choose Spanish or German? Respondent: I don't know why! I just wanted to learn Chinese! Interviewer: What is your hobby? What do you do for pleasure? Do you like drawing or dancing? Respondent: Hmm... No, I like travelling. It's my real hobby, and my favourite destination is China. I've been there several times and will go again! It's an amazing country and you can see much more there if you speak their language. Interviewer: Right! Respondent: Chinese culture, art and music are very different from ours. Interviewer: Can you play any traditional musical instruments? Respondent: Do you mean the Chinese bamboo flute? No, but I play the piano - well enough. I took piano classes when I was at school and my teacher was very good. She taught me to feel and love music. Interviewer: And what about sports? What do you do to keep fit? Respondent: Hmm... I go jogging. I would like to go swimming but there's no swimming pool nearby, so I jog almost every evening. Interviewer: Evening? Respondent: Yes, I prefer jogging in the evening, not in the morning like most people do. I hate getting up early, and evenings are better for me. Interviewer: I see. And one more question...
