Module 4
Ex. A
My favourite food is pasta. I sometimes cook
pasta at home but I’m not great at cooking! That
is why I often go to my favourite Italian
restaurant, Marco’s. The people at Marco’s are
very friendly and the food is great! The prices
are a little bit high, but Marco’s serves the best
pasta dishes in the city. Also, the service at
Marco’s is very quick, and everyone in the staff
is very friendly. Another thing I like about
Marco’s is that they use fresh ingredients and
their desserts are delicious. I love their pizza,
too. Italian food is just the best!
Ex. B
Jane: Hello, Spring Sports Centre, Jane speaking.
How can I help you?
Natalie: Hello. I’d like to come to the sports
centre tomorrow. What time do you open?
Jane: The centre opens at 9:00am but the
swimming pool doesn’t open until 10:00am, and
the café opens at 8:30. Are you coming to work
out or to swim?
Natalie: To work out.
Jane: OK, we’ll be open first thing tomorrow. Is
there anything else?
Natalie: Yes, what time does the sports centre
close?
Jane: The gym and swimming pool close at
6:00pm. The café closes earlier, at 5:00pm.
Natalie: OK. Could I speak to a trainer about my
programme?
Jane: Of course. Just ask for Mark when you
arrive.
Natalie: All right, then! Thank you.
Jane: You’re welcome. Have a nice day and
we’ll see you tomorrow.

Module 5
Ex. A
I don't remember many things about my childhood,
but what I do remember best happened when I was
seven years old. We moved house and went to live
in a cottage in the countryside. We didn’t go very
far, only a sixty-minute drive from our house in the
city. I didn’t have any brothers or sisters, but I
wasn’t lonely in our new area. I made new friends
very quickly. The other memory I have is getting a
yellow helicopter, a green football and a shiny red
bike for my eighth birthday. I usually rode my bike to
the park with my friends after school. That was so
much fun! But the thing I loved most was my yellow
helicopter. I could sit there for hours, whizzing it
through the air. The one thing that I couldn’t do then
but I’m pretty good at now is drawing. Now that I’m
older, I spend most of my free time making
drawings of my favourite childhood superheroes. I
suppose it’s a way for me to keep in touch with my
childhood!
Ex. B
Jen: Hello?
Gerald: Hi, Jen. It’s me.
Jen: Gerald? Where are you? You’re late!
Gerald: I know, I know. I’m sorry. My car broke
down and I need someone to give me a lift.
Jen: Oh, no! Can’t you find a taxi?
Gerald: Well, yes … I did find one.
Jen: So? Where are you?
Gerald: You see, the taxi got a flat tyre! Now, I’m
sitting here with the driver and we’re both waiting for
someone to pick us up!
Jen: Dear me! Don't go anywhere, I’m coming to
pick you up right now. We’ll give the taxi driver a lift,
too.
Gerald: Thanks, Jen. We’re on the corner of Smith
and Nicholson.
