Extra felicity O’Dell fce

Three: You hear two friends talking. What is the
woman’s opinion about the possible tax increase?
A The government won’t use tax income sensibly.
B Wealthy people are right to move abroad.
C The increase is necessary to have better 
public services.
F
Did you hear that Minister on the radio this morning
saying they’re thinking of increasing tax rates for
higher earners?
M Yes, I did. Isn’t it terrible! No wonder people who
earn a lot all try to move abroad. 
F
Mm, I suppose so, but they’ve got to get money
somehow for hospitals and schools.
M Yes, but do they spend it on hospitals and schools?
F
Well, I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more tax myself
as long as they do use it properly.
M Oh, no, you can’t trust them.

Four: You hear two friends talking on a park bench.
What are they discussing?
A a drink
B a salad
C a cake
F
This is delicious. Did you make it yourself?
F
Yes, I did. It’s very simple.
F
Well, it’s certainly much nicer than anything you
can buy in the shops. For that matter, it’s better
than anything I’ve ever had at that café in town,
that one that specialises in juices and shakes. Will
you give me the recipe? 
F
Of course. The important thing is to have really fresh
ingredients.
Repeat
Five: You overhear two people talking on a bus.
What is their relationship?
A husband and wife
B boss and employee
C friends
F
So what happened then? 
M Well the MD went purple in the face and looked
absolutely furious. Fortunately, the fire alarm then
went off and I guess he’d cooled down a bit by the
time we were allowed back into the building.
F
Oh well, that’s good. So no one got the sack?
M Not today at least. Are you getting off here tonight?
F
Yes, I’m going to my mum’s before I go home. I’ll
look forward to the next instalment tomorrow then.
