Exercise 2.
1- 7.50 is the correct answer; 'seven fiftty' is incorrect
because it is spelled wrong; 7.15 / seven fifteen is not
the correct time.
2- Blythe Road
David: Hi, Leila! Where are you? We need to leave for the party soon.
Leila: I'm on my way home - I'm still waiting for the bus. I was going to get a taxi back but
I've just checked my phone and there's one due in about fifteen minutes- seven fifty pm to be
exact. And it seems to be running on time. It left the railway station a couple of minutes ago,
so it's not too far away.
David: Do you want me to pick you up? I've got the car, so it's no problem. Where's the bus
stop exactly?
Leila: It's the one on Blythe Road.
David: Blythe Road? I'm just checking it on my phone. Is that B-L-Y-T-H?
Leila: There's an “e” at the end of Blythe.
David: Got it. OK, I won't be long.
Leila: Actually, David - no need to pick me up- the traffic lights have just changed and I can
see the bus coming now. I'd better go - I'll see you at home in a few minutes.
Exercise 3.
1. Steak
2. 20
A: I really enjoyed that little place we went to last weekend-there was a really good choice of
meat and fish, wasn't there?
B: Did you really think so? I wish I could say the same, but actually, I thought it was pretty
limited. There were far too many fish dishes on the menu and I can't stand seafood. There just
wasn't enough meat.
A: Oh, come on Jo!We really enjoyed the steak we had, and you said that the beef the people
on the other table were eating looked delicious too.
B: Well, I won't be going back. It was much too expensive.
A: Well, I thought it was pretty reasonable. In fact I couldn't believe it when the bill arrived.
£40, including a tip. That's only £20 per person. You can't get steak for less than £15
anywhere in town.
Exercise 4.
1 two/2 days 2 safety rules
3 1st (of) September / 1 September
4 Jon Galloway
Darren: Hi there, Alicia! How was your weekend? You were on a sailing course down at the
harbour, weren't you?
Alicia: That's right- I really enjoyed breathing in all that fresh sea air. It was only two days 1
but the time flew by! The instructor began by teaching us safety rules 2, which was
necessary, but not very exciting. But then on the first morning we learnt how to open the sails
and I even learned how to turn the boat. The water wasn't as calm as it looked, I can tell you -
I lost my balance a few times
Darren: Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I'd love to learn to sail.
Alicia: Well, there are plenty of courses and I think they run them once a month- so just let
me check the website here. OK, so this was my course here - see - 4th and 5th of August.
Now you could sign up for the next one, at the beginning of September 3. And it looks like
there are still some spaces available.
Darren: So, the next one starts on 1st of September? I think I could do that.
Alicia: Well, let me give you the name of the course leader so that you can give him a call.
He's a really experienced sailor ... OK, it's Jon Galloway.
Darren: Is that the usual spelling of John - J-0-H-N?
Alicia: No, there's no 'H'- he's just Jon, J-0-N.
Darren: OK, got you. And did you say his surname's Galloway? Can you spell that for me?
Alicia: Yes - Galloway- that's G-A-double L-0-W-A-Y.And I've got his number too. Why
don't you give him a ring?
