Hi Nadia. Just wanted to talk to you about my birthday party on Saturday. We’re all going to the Mansion Restaurant, as you know, and I’ve booked for twelve. Well, Helena has just said she can’t come and I was wondering about inviting Niki instead. She’s fun but you know what I mean, don’t you when I say she can be a bit loud and not everyone gets on with her. I think I know what you’ll say but let me know what you think. Ring me back as soon as you can, won’t you? Hope you can still come.

Boy: How was the diving trip?

Girl: It was great, but I learned to dive in a swimming pool where the water doesn't move around much. Going underwater in the sea was a completely different experience. I seemed to become totally unable to do all those things that I got so good at in the pool.

Boy: So is it something you'd like to have another go at?

Girl: I'll think about it, but if I do, I need to make sure I go with my cousin

Martin again. It gave me a bit more confidence to be underwater with

someone I knew.

The correct answer is B.

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.

The correct answer is B.
