– Does the hotel have a swimming pool?
– Usually, yes, but it’s closed now for the winter.
– Hmm, I see. Well, do you have a fitness center?
– No, I’m sorry, we don’t. But there is a fitness center located across the street
from the hotel.
– OK, well, thank you very much.
– … I’m sorry. Thank you for waiting…
Unit 21. Describe a meal

31
– How is your chicken curry?
– It’s a little spicy, but very good.
– Would you like some more water?
– Yes, please.
32
– Waiter!
– Yes, sir?
– I can’t eat this soup. It’s too salty.
– Would you like me to bring you another one?
– No, thanks. Just bring my main course, please.
33
– Can I get you something?
– Yes, please. I’d like some more sugar. The iced tea is very bitter.
– Right away.
Unit 22. Say how you’re feeling

34
– Are you OK, Lucy?
– No. Everything hurts.
– Did you go to work yesterday?
– No, I was at home all day.
35
– What’s the matter, Bill?
– I have a bad stomachache.
– What did you have for lunch?
– I had some crab salad and a soda.
– Did the crab taste OK?
36
– Good morning. Abbott Productions. This is Amy speaking.
A-6 | Audio Script

– Hi, Amy. This is Catherine.
– How are you feeling today, Catherine?
– Better, thanks. I don’t have the headaches I had yesterday, but now I have a
stomachache.
– I’m sorry to hear that. Are you coming into the office?
– No, not today. Maybe tomorrow.
– I hope you feel better soon.
Unit 23. Describe what happened

37
– Hi, Jack. This is Barbara. I’m going to be late today.
– Why? What’s wrong?
– I have a toothache. I’m going to the dentist now. I’ll call you after my
appointment.
– OK. Talk to you later.
38
– This is the voicemail for Janet Miller. Please leave a message.
– Janet, this is Tony. I won’t be in the office today. My daughter has a very bad
earache. The doctor says she has to stay home. I’ll call you later. Bye.
39
– What’s the matter, Linda?
– I don’t feel well. My head hurts and I have a stomachache.
– You should go home.
– Yes, OK. I think I will.
Unit 24. Describe your symptoms and ask about medicines

40
– Hello. I need something for a cold.
– Do you have a fever?
– No, but I have a sore throat, I’m coughing a lot, and I have a runny nose.
– Are you taking any medicine?
– Just some aspirin.
– OK. Let’s see. For the cough and the runny nose, take this cold medicine twice
a day. And for the sore throat, this tea is very good. Drink it hot with lemon. You
should feel better in a day or two.
Unit 25. Talk about your favorite books and music

41
– What kind of music do you like, Paul?
– I like a lot of different kinds of music, but I listen to classical music the most.
– Who is your favorite composer?
– I like so many composers. I don’t really have a favorite. What about you?
– I like classical music, but I don’t listen to it very often.
42
– Do you play an instrument, Mary?
– I like music a lot but I don’t play an instrument. My children do.
– What do they play?
– Valerie plays guitar in a rock band.
– Really? That’s interesting!
Audio Script | A-7

– And Michael plays the piano.
Unit 26. Talk about TV shows and movies and invite someone out
43
– Is there anything interesting on TV?
– There’s Speak Upon ZBC and Life in the Alpson DocuTV.
– Anything else? I don’t like the programs on ZBC. And we saw the one about the
Alps last week, remember?
– Oh, yeah. Well, then what would you rather watch: Starship Titanic or
Married with Kids?
– Let’s watch StarshipTitanic. It’s more interesting.
44
– What are you watching?
– Sing for the Stars.
– Do you really like that? Can’t we watch something else?
– It’s going to finish in a few minutes. Then you can watch anything you want.
45
– When is Last Call on?
– At 9 o’clock, I think. It’s right after North Park.
– Are you going to watch it with me?
– Not tonight. I’m tired. I’d rather read my book.
Unit 27. Talk about your hobbies

46
– What do you do in your free time, Jake? Do you have any hobbies?
– Yes, I make furniture.
– Oh, really? What kind of furniture?
– Tables, bookcases, things like that. This weekend I’m going to make a coffee
table. How about you, Paula? Do you have any hobbies?
– Yes, I collect antiques.
– That’s expensive, isn’t it?
– It can be, but I enjoy it.
47
– What are you doing this weekend, Phil?
– I’m going to start a watercolor painting class.
– Really? I enjoyed drawing and painting when I was in school.
– Me, too. I liked to draw when I was younger. I could draw people well, but I
never took art class very seriously.
– So where are you taking the class?
– At the university.
– Well, I hope you enjoy it.
– Thanks. I’m sure I will.
Unit 28. Describe exercise habits

48
I don’t like to exercise, but if the weather’s nice, I like to work in my garden. Does
that count as exercise?
A-8 | Audio Script

49
I love to exercise. I go to an aerobics class three times a week. And on the days I
don’t do aerobics, I go to the gym to lift weights. I always feel better after a good
workout. If I miss a day of exercise, I feel awful the next day.
50
I like outdoor sports. There’s a park near my house. If the weather’s nice, I go
running and cycling there. If the weather’s bad, I go swimming instead. My
friends and I also play football on Saturday afternoons.
51
I’m not really big on exercise. OK, if it’s warm and sunny, I like to go for a walk.
But if it’s cold, or rainy, forget it. I’d rather stay home and read or watch TV.
Unit 29. Give exercise advice

52
– Do you think I need to lose weight, Dr. Welch?
– Well, Mr. Hammond, you are a little out of shape.
– Do I have to go on a diet?
– If you want to lose weight, you have to eat a healthy diet. By that I mean a diet
with plenty of fruit and vegetables and not so much meat, bread and pasta.
– But I really like pasta.
– Well, you can eat pasta, just not too much.
– Can I drink coffee?
– Yes, without sugar.
– And do I have to exercise?
– Exercise is important if you want to lose weight and get in shape. You don’t
like exercise?
– I don’t like gyms.
– Why don’t you try exercising outdoors? You can go biking or even just walking
thirty minutes a day. You will feel better.
– OK. Tomorrow I’ll start my new diet and I’ll go for a long walk in the park.
Thanks, Dr. Welch.
– You’re welcome, Mr. Hammond. I’ll see you again in six months, and …
Unit 30. Review

53
– So, Ms. McIntyre, what seems to be the problem?
– I don’t feel very well. I think I have the flu.
– What are your symptoms?
– I have a fever and everything hurts: my head, my stomach, my back, and my
neck.
– Let me check your temperature. Hmm … 101°. Yes, it’s the flu. Are you taking
any medicine now?
– No.
– All right. I’ll write a prescription for you. There’s a pharmacy on the ground
floor.
– How long will it take to get better?
– You should feel better in three or four days.
– Can I go back to work this week?
Audio Script | A-9

– No, you should stay home and get some rest. You can go back to work on
Monday if you feel all right.
54
– I’m bored. What’s on TV?
– Let me check the program guide. Starship Titanic and Married with Kids
start in a few minutes.
– What’s on DocuTV tonight?
– Well, Voyage to Jupiter is on right now, and after that is a documentary about
the Alps followed by The Last Koala.
– That sounds boring. Isn’t Sing for the Stars on tonight?
– It is. It’s on at eight. So, what would you rather watch at seven o’clock, Married
with Kids or Starship Titanic?
– I think I’d rather listen to some music. We can watch Sing for the Stars when
it comes on.
Unit 32. Talk about moving

55
– Guess what. We’re moving.
– Really? Where to?
– We found a nice apartment on Spring Street.
– What is it like?
– It has two bedrooms, a living room, and a big kitchen.
– Do you have a dining room?
– No, but there’s a dining area in the kitchen.
– Is it expensive?
– No, it’s just $1,100 a month.
Unit 34. Describe your neighborhood

56
– You still live in Manhattan, right, Barbara?
– No, not anymore. We moved to the suburbs about six months ago.
– Oh, really? And how do you like it there?
– It’s much better than living downtown. The streets are a lot quieter than in the
city.
57
– This place is great, Anita, but the rent’s too high. Don’t you think? $5,000 for a
two-bedroom apartment?
– I know it’s expensive, Richard, but this is the nicest neighborhood in town.
58
– How’s your new apartment, Nancy?
– Wonderful! The bedrooms are small, but I have a big, bright living room with a
balcony. And it’s quiet. There isn’t much traffic on the street.
– That’s great. And how are your neighbors?
– They’re very friendly.
Unit 35. Welcome visitors

59
– Would you like me to show you around?
– Sure.
A-10 | Audio Script

– Well, this is the kitchen, and there’s the dining room.
– What a big, sunny kitchen you have.
–Yes, I just love it. Our old kitchen was so small. Upstairs are the bedrooms and
the bathroom.
– How many bedrooms do you have?
– Three. But we use one of them as a home office. See?
– How nice. I’d love to have an extra room for an office or a study.
– Here’s the bathroom in case you’re looking for it later.
– Thank you. Where do these stairs go?
– Up to the balcony in the back of the house. Come have a look.
– Oh, it’s lovely! You have a view of the whole countryside from here.
– Yes, it’s very nice. I love to come up here to relax.
Unit 36. Say what you use something for

60
I have a blog and I post a new entry every week. I write about things I enjoy: my
work, my hobbies, and my family.
61
I spend a lot of time online. I use the Internet to read the news and look for
information. I use a social networking site to stay in touch with my friends. I chat
with them almost every day, and I share photos with them.
62
My best friend is working in London for a year. We use the Internet to email, chat,
and call each other almost every day.
Unit 37. Describe what people used to do

63
– You’re buying a new computer, Angela?
– I have to. I use my computer for work, and the one I have isn’t good enough
anymore.
– But you bought it just two or three years ago, didn’t you?
– Yes, I did. But computers get old very quickly nowadays. The one I have isn’t
very useful for the work I do.
64
– Nice jacket, Daniel.
– Thanks. It’s a little old-fashioned. It was my father’s. He used to wear it when I
was a boy.
– It looks good on you. It really does.
– Thanks, Sophie.
65
– Why did you buy that cell phone, Andrew?
– Because I like it. And it wasn’t as expensive as the other ones.
– But it’s so old-fashioned.
– I don’t care. I only use it to make calls. I don’t use it for taking pictures or
listening to music.
Unit 38. Talk about past events

66
– Hey, David. Look what I got in the mail today.
Audio Script | A-11

– The original superhero cartoon series? Wow, Victor, that brings back
memories. Where’d you get it?
– I bought it online.
– I used to love watching those superheroes when I was a kid.
– Me, too. I remember getting up early to watch it before school.
– Do you remember the theme song?
– Sure I do. If the superheroes can’t do it, nobody can!
67
– Happy birthday, Nana. I brought a little something for you.
– Thank you, dear, that’s so sweet. Oh, my, I saw this movie in the 60s!
– I hope you like it?
– Oh, yes, very much. It brings back such lovely memories. I remember the first
time I saw it with your grandfather. They don’t make movies like this anymore.
– Did Grandpa like it, too?
– Oh, yes. We probably saw it together ten or eleven times over the years. Thank
you, Julie. That’s so kind and thoughtful of you.
Unit 40. Review

68
– Welcome to our home, Alice!
– What a lovely house you have, Margaret.
– Thank you. Come in and make yourself at home. Would you care for some
coffee?
– Yes, please. What beautiful flowers! Are they from your garden?
– Yes, they are. Would you like me to show you around the house?
– I’d love it! You said you changed the guest bedroom into a study?
– We did. Now it’s my favorite room. If you come upstairs with me, I can show
you…
