J: A book?
AR: Yes. Here it is! It’s got instructions!
V: But, why was there a book? Why can’t you find all this information on the internet?

Ben needed some new clothes!

B: Hi, guys! Oh! I’m really tired!
V: Here … have some lemonade! Why are you tired? Tell us about your day!
B: Well, it’s Saturday and I wanted to go shopping for some clothes. I walked to the department store.
There were lots of people there! I was there for two hours!
J: Two hours? Why?
B: Well, I arrived at the store, and I tried on some jeans ... I looked at a shirt, too. I really liked it! Then I
tried on some shorts, a jacket and some trainers.
V: Wow, that’s a lot of clothes!
B: I know! The shops opened at ten, and I only finished shopping one hour ago!
J: That’s OK. You’ve got lots of new clothes now!
B: No, I haven’t.
J: What do you mean?
B: I tried on lots of clothes, but then ... I walked to the bookshop. There were some great books about
photography there. Look! This one is about African jungles! Do you like it? This one is about South
America! This one is about penguins! And this one is about the world’s biggest cities!
