Extra felicity O’Dell fce

B excited
C surprised
F
Please could you come and sort things out as soon
as possible. We were very surprised that no one
turned up after our conversation on the phone
yesterday morning and we’re getting a bit desperate
here. There’s still a leak under the sink and it seems
to be getting a bit worse. I’m afraid it hasn’t
improved at all since you last came. Someone will
be in all day so please come some time today. Any
time at all.
Repeat
Three: You hear a man at a hotel reception desk.
What is he doing?
A checking in
B checking out
C changing arrangements
M Could you please check to see if we could stay till
Thursday? We’ve found some extra things we’d like
to do in this area and it’d be good to stay on here,
not to have to pack up again. I guess we could move
rooms, though, if that’s the only way you could do
it? Basically we’d like it if we could postpone our
check-out till Thursday morning instead of tomorrow
morning.
Repeat
Four: You hear part of a talk on the radio. What kind
of programme is it?
A a history programme
B a current affairs programme
C a book programme
M ... what will be contained in tomorrow’s budget
speech. I don’t imagine the Chancellor will go for
anything too original. He won’t be taxing beards,
for example, like tsar Peter the Great in Russia. Or
windows as they used to do in Scotland. But I
imagine he’ll have something up his sleeve to help
him balance his books with having to take the
unpopular step of increasing income tax.
Repeat
Five: You hear two women talking in a café. What
are they talking about?
A doctors’ appointments for their sons
B their sons’ birthdays
C their sons’ computer lessons
F
I’m just so glad you told me Charles had been called
in. Otherwise I’d never have known that all 15-year
olds were supposed to have a check-up.
F
So what did they say about Andrew then?
F
They said they’d marked him on the computer as
needing an appointment but hadn’t sent the letter
out.
F
A bit careless.
F
Yes, especially when they need booster injections
and things.
