M:Could you try to phone him?I'd like to get that informa- tion as possible,so the shelves can be sent to the cus- tomer today. W:No problem. Text 7 M:I'm just going to lie down.I have a headache. W:Have you drunk enough water today? M:Yes,plenty.I think it's just because I've been staring at the computer screen all day. W:Maybe you should get your eyes tested. M:I had them tested a few months ago.The doctor said they were fine. W:Well,go lie down,and I'll make you some fruit tea. That always helps me. M:I'm not a big tea drinker.A coffee would be better for me. W:OK.I'll make you one of those instead. Text 8 M:Hello,Eve!It's me,Mark.Um,did I wake you up? W:Oh,Mark.No,I'm awake! M:So,are you ready to leave for the picnic? W:Ready?Oh,right.Um,almost. M:Great!Did you remember to get gas? W:(Yawns)Uh,no.I'll get some before I come to your place. M:Ok.And you got the beach chairs and umbrella,right? W:Yeah,they're here.I just have to put them in the car. M:So what time will you be here?Are you ready to leave? W:Well,almost.I just need to take a shower,and... M:Well,don't be too long! W:No,I won't.And when I get to your place,maybe we'll have time for breakfast. M:Breakfast?But it's almost time for lunch!

W:It's a good game.But,like most of us,I just watch it.I watch a soccer match nearly every Saturday afternoon ei- ther at the local stadium or on TV.What about you, John?Do you play soccer? ·18 M:I'm afraid not.And I don't watch it either.I know it's Britain's most popular outdoor game,but I never liked it,not even when I was at school. W:But don't you watch the Cup finals and the great inter- national matches between British teams and other na- tional teams? M:Very rarely.My favourite game is basketball.I began playing it when I was in the middle school and I've kept it up ever since. W:It's very interesting,isn't it? M:Yes,it is.It has become popular in many countries.Do you enjoy watching basketball matches,especially NBA?They're very interesting and exciting. W:Yes,I watch them on TV. Text 10 M:You're about to finish high school,and I want to explain what I did when I was your age.I was lucky,at that time,that your grandfather was so supportive.My fa- ther always firmly believed in me-the same way that I believe in you.That's why,after graduating from high school in New York,your grandparents sent me on a trip to Asia to learn more about life.I landed in India as a fresh-faced 18-year-old kid with endless curiosity about the world.There,I worked at a school in exchange for food and a place to stay.Although I didn't earn any money,I was happy and learned so much about life. From there,I flew to Australia and got my first job.This position wasn't an office job or anything fancy.I painted houses in the sun for 12 hours a day.I'm telling you this story not to encourage you to have a similar experience,but to inspire you to do as much as you can in your teens and early 20's.You'll be glad you did.
