Hi, Max! Andrea's calling. I just have to tell you that I won't be able to join you for your camping trip this weekend. My aunt's family are coming and mum asked me to show them around the city. I'm going to be a sort of tourist guide for them. I feel a bit disappointed but on the other hand, our relatives are very nice and hospitable. When we visited them last time, they had a party for us and did everything to entertain us. Anyway, I want you to have a great trip. Call me later.

Miss Reads: Hi, Phil! How are you today?
Phil: I'm fine, thanks.
Miss Reads: But you don't look fine. Is there a problem in the family? Is your grandmother well?
Phil: Yes, Miss Reeds, we're all well. It's my cat Ginger who's ill. He's neither eating, nor playing. And he looks very sad. It's worrying me.
Miss Reads: Yes, I think I understand.
Phil: I've never had any pets before. Ginger is a present from my granny.
Miss Reads: I see. I think you should take your cat to a vet clinic. I can recommend one. I always take my dog there.
Phil: Oh, thank you, Miss Reeds.
Miss Reads: Can an adult from your family help you to get to the clinic?

Susan: Good evening, Mr. Brooks.
Mr. Brooks: Hi, Susan. How was your first day at the language school? Was it easy to find it?
Susan: Yes, I followed your directions. Took bus 22 and got off at the stop City Centre, that's it!
Mr. Brooks: Good.
Susan: The tutor said there used to be a university campus but it was too far from the centre. Students staying with host families had problems getting there. So, they moved the school.
Mr. Brooks: Which was clever of them. But the air is better in the suburbs, of course. In the city the traffic's too heavy.
Susan: Oh, the windows of our classroom were closed because of the noise from the traffic.
