Girl: How was London?
Boy: Great, except we got lost.
Girl: Oh no! How?
Boy: My dad had this guide book which was at least 20 years old. We told him lots of things would be different now, so most of what was in it would be wrong. Even though it was old, it was probably more accurate than the information a guy on the street gave us for getting to Big Ben - we ended up somewhere completely different! We only used the book for getting around on the Underground in the end - the map's almost the same as it was back then.
Man: Hello. Can I have two tickets for the new Pixar film which starts at 8:30, please?

Jack: Hi Martin, Have you heard the new ‘Sunny Days’ song? I love the drums!
Martin: Yeah, it’s great! My brother has already learnt to play it on the piano and he knows all the words too! I’m learning to play it in my guitar class.
Jack: Cool! I’ve got an old guitar at home, but I can’t play it!
Martin: You should learn, Jack! I love it! I go to classes in the Old Music School with Steve from football. We’re in the same class. Our teacher, Peter, is fantastic! He used to play with the group The Tall Trees.
Jack: Really? Wow! They were a great band! Is there a class on Friday?
Martin: I don’t know. I go on Tuesdays now, but I have to change to Thursdays next term because I’ve just passed the Level 5 exams.
Jack: You must be very good. How often do you practise?
Martin: Every day! I spend an hour and sometimes two in my room and on Saturday mornings my band spends three hours practising. We’re called The Red Chillies!
Jack: Cool.
Martin: Actually, we’re playing in the town music festival on Saturday. I’ve got a free ticket. Do you want to come?
Jack: Yes! Thanks very much. Is it at the music school?
Martin: No. Last year it was in the music school, but this year it’s in the park, near the shopping centre. It’s going to be great. Can you bring your camera to take photos?
Jack: Of course! What time will you be on stage?
Martin: Well, I need to arrive at quarter past six and there’s a singing competition at quarter past seven, but I think we’re starting at quarter to eight.
Jack: OK. We can have dinner in the Street Café afterwards.

1 You will hear a girl telling her uncle about school. What is her favourite subject?
Steph: Hi Uncle Jamie.
Uncle: Hi Steph, how’s school these days?
Steph: Well, science lessons have got really hard, so I’m losing interest in them. But art classes are the opposite. They give me a chance to relax, and are the best part of my week. I really like my history teacher, but I’m not so interested in this term’s topic.
