a
: How’s it going? Is it as you expected?
b
: It’s great, actually. I was a bit nervous before, but the
teachers have been really welcoming.
2
a
: So, what do you do?
b
: I work for an IT company, sorting out people’s
computer systems.
a
: Oh, really? How did you get into that?
b
: By accident. I got a temporary job with a company
selling laptops – one of those ‘no experience necessary’
ads – and then they trained me in computer networks.

a
: Hi, I don’t think we’ve met. I’m David.
b
: Oh, hi David. Good to meet you. I’m Tara. I’m an old
school friend of Kate’s.
a
: Oh, yeah – what school was that then?
b
: Langley Secondary. It wasn’t a great school, actually,
but a few of us have kept in touch over the years.

a
: Hey, I like your jacket.
b
: Oh, thank you. I bought it in the sales yesterday. It was
only £18.
a
: £18? You wouldn’t know it – it looks great. Do you like
bargain-hunting, then?
b
: Oh no. I like clothes, but I hate shopping for them.
I find it really stressful.
a
: Me too. I always end up buying things that aren’t right
and have to take them back.

a
: I’m supposed to have given up sweet things, but I can’t
stop eating this cake.
b
: I know. It’s delicious, isn’t it?
a
: Actually, it was my New Year’s Resolution to stop
eating things like this. But I haven’t kept it. In fact,
I don’t think I’ve ever kept a New Year’s Resolution.
Have you?
