FRANKLIN MORALES BLANCO

LISTENING #1

A SHOPPING LIST

Here’s the list for the supermarket. We need fruit, so get some
bananas, 4 apples and some kiwis.
Also, for the vegetable stew we need 1 kilo, er… no make that 2
kilos of potatoes, some spring onions and get a few carrots as
well.
Get 2 loaves of white bread and 2 pints of milk. Oh, and your
sister likes red wine, so get a bottle of that for her. We need
some of that Spanish cheese. Mmm… that’s delicious and we’re
out of toilet paper, so get some more and pick up a few beers
for the weekend.

LISTENING #2

Paul Forrester

Hi, I’m Paul and I’m from London. I was born in South London, but
now I live in North London with my girlfriend in a small flat.
I’m a nurse in a home for the elderly, which sounds a bit strange
because not many young men choose to do this sort of work, you
know, taking care of old people.
But I really love my job. It’s not easy at times and you need a lot
of patience, especially with residents who have special needs. But
I really feel I’m helping them and that’s extremely rewarding.
I spend the whole day here, from 7am until 5pm and we all have
FRANKLIN MORALES BLANCO

lunch together in the residence dining room.

I work 5 days a week, but that includes Saturdays, so can I take
Mondays off instead. I often do the shopping on Mondays and clean
the flat. My girlfriend works on Mondays. But we spend Sundays
together and we usually go hiking.

LISTENING #4

Hello is that the toy department?

Oh hello, I wonder if you can help me. I bought my son a drone for Christmas
from your shop and it doesn’t work properly. I’d like to bring it back and
change it. Well, it starts up. You know the light goes on and the propeller
starts moving and it makes a noise, but it doesn’t get off the ground. It
doesn’t move at all in the air. Yes, I’ve checked the batteries and I’ve tried
new ones. Yes, I’ve got the receipt. Erm….just a second I’ll check on the box.
It’s the Superflight model and the model number is MBL3752.
It cost 64.99, but I don’t want a refund, I just want to change it for one that
works! Ok. Great. I’ll see you this afternoon then. Thanks a lot. Bye!
