Text 1
M: We’re all sitting around for the debate.
W: Except Rusty, who hasn’t turned up. Hmph. Typical.
Text 2
W: Hi, John! I’m calling to offer you 20% off our environmentally-friendly carpet-cleaning service. Our super-deep professional clean will leave your carpet just like new.
M: Sorry. I can’t talk right now. I’ll have to pass.
Text 3
M: Betty, are you heading to the bookstore?
W: Yes. You can go to Jessica’s party.
M: Jessica just called. Something happened to her brother, so she’s canceling the party. I’ll go with you instead.
Text 4
W: Hello. Working hard on the computer?
M: Yeah. I’m trying to finish this report, but I can’t get rid of this text box—it’s stuck in the middle of the screen.
Text 5
W: Nice vase.
M: Oh, it’s from the Ming Dynasty. It’s one of the most priceless items we have here. Sorry, I’m about to guide a school group.
W: You seem busy, so I’ll go to my classmates then.
Text 6
W: I’m going to bed.
M: Don’t switch off the computer. I need to check something. I’ll turn it off before I go to bed.
W: You can’t have the computer on and the TV on at the same time.
M: I just want to see the end of the talk show.
W: OK, but don’t be too late for school tomorrow—or I will receive your teacher’s call.
M: OK.
Text 7
M: Oh, Stella. Have you seen the new price for the ZX4000?
W: Yes. Our company has decided to raise the price, which will probably have a negative impact on sales.
M: Yes. But our competitors have each individual product priced at 50 dollars, which is 10 dollars less than ours.
W: I suggest we bring this up with the head of sales as a matter of urgency.
M: Good idea. Can I leave it to you? I have to attend a meeting.
W: Yeah, sure. I’ve just finished my data analysis.
M: Thank you.
Text 8
M: So, what do you think of the house?
W: It’s nice, but it’s a bit expensive-I mean, they want £275,000 for it. Besides, think about all the gardening you’d have to do: cutting the grass, digging up the vegetables, planting flowers.
M: Mmm…I didn't think about all that.
W: And it’s also a bit out of the way. I mean, we’d have to drive the kids to school. That will cost us an extra £100 a month, at least.
M: I guess so. Maybe we should look at the flat-you know, they telephoned me last week. They were asking £150,000 for it.
W: Good idea. I’ll book an appointment.
M: Great. And with the money we save, we could get a new car.
W: Dream it. There is a lot waiting for us to pay for.
Text 9
W: Hi, Coleman. I’ve heard that you’ve joined a guitar group.
M: Why don’t you come along? I’m sure there’s room for another person.
W: Really? Could you play anything before you started?
M: I only knew a few notes. When I first spoke to Gary, runner of the class, I was worried everyone would be better than me, but we were all equally hopeless!
W: So where do you meet?
M: Well, we used to meet in Gary’s home, but as the group got bigger, he booked a room in the public teaching building at the college. The room is usually quiet, but a local music school is nearby.
W: Oh, and when do you meet?
M: On Thursdays. It used to be 10:30 and that suited me well, but now we meet at 11:00. The class that's in there before us asked if they could have the room for another 30 minutes.
W: So what’s a typical lesson like?
M: Well, Gary alway starts by helping us to tune our guitars. After that he reminds us where to put our fingers for each note. Sometimes we’re so bad at keeping time, so Gary starts clapping to help us again and again.
W: Great. I think I’d love to come.
Text 10
Amaya Edwards, a 10-year-old superstar, suffered from a rare heart disease at 5. But that hasn’t stopped her passion for the ocean. At seven, on a trip to the sea, she found a struggling starfish on the beach. With her parents’ help, she gently carried it back to the water. Watching it come back to life in the waves was the magical moment that lit up her dream to be a marine biologist. Since then, she has cleaned her local beach nearly every day!
After finding a dead seal on the sand, Amaya created a powerful poster to raise people’s awareness of littering. It was so effective, the governor of Georgia turned it into a postcard-and Amaya raised £500 for marine rescue charities through its sales.
But she didn’t stop there. Amaya has written and illustrated five books to help children learn how to protect ocean wildlife and reuse materials creatively. Her books are now available to buy in the UK, USA, and Australia, with the profits supporting charities like the Sea Life Trust.
From rescuing wildlife to leading global campaigns, the incredible girl is showing that anyone-at any age-can protect the Earth.
