the temperature is.

W: Hello, Happy Time Catering Services, Victoria speaking. How can I help you?

M: Hello, Victoria. This is Joe Smith from Country Holidays. I wonder if you could do some catering for us next week. We’re having a small reception. W: Oh, yes, I can do that. Where will you be holding it?

M: We will have it in the conference room at our head office. W: OK, what sort of things would you like? M: Just a light lunch I think.

W: All right. I will send a schedule of the arrangements soon. Text 7

W: Hi! What can I do for you?

M: I’m supposed to do a literature review for my psychology course, but um… I’m having a hard time finding articles.

W: You said this is for your psychology course, right? So your focus is on … M: Dream Analysis.

W: Well, we have twenty psychology books in the Reference Section. Hmmm…there’s one book named Sleep and Dream.

M: Oh, yeah, I just copied one article from that book, so I’ve got to look at other sources.

W: OK, actually, most of our materials are available electronically now. You can access them through the library’s computers, and if you want to search by title with the word ‘dream’ for example, just type it in and all the articles with ‘dream’ in the title will come up on the screen.

M: Cool, that’s great! Text 8

W: Hello, can I help you?

M: Yes, you see I bought this MP4 at your shop three days ago. And I’m afraid that it hasn’t really matched up to what I was told about it. W: I see. What exactly is the matter?

M: Well, first of all, there’s this large scratch across the front of it. W: But you should have noticed that when you bought it.

M: But it was in the box all sealed up. Anyway, that’s not the most important thing. I am really

unhappy about something else. W: And what is that?

M: Look, it says here that the sound from it should be unheard by other people, but people can hear it and it’s really embarrassing on the bus.

W: Well, I am sorry. But it must be the way you are wearing the headphones.

M: Look, I know how to put headphones in my ears. What I want to know is what you are going to do about it.

W: Well, I suppose we could exchange it for another model if you really aren’t happy with it. M: Yes, I’d like that.

W: Well, if I just could see the receipt. M: Here it is. Text 9

M: One of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch sight of the masked fire fighters they hide, because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such sad things, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks. But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his 3-year-old brother who was choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris.

M: Mrs. Dawson, thanks very much for coming down to the station. I’d just like to go over some of the things that you told police officer Parmer at the bank. W: All right.

M: Well, could you describe the man who robbed the bank on Thursday for this report that we’re filling out here? Now, anything at all that you can remember would be extremely helpful to us.

W: Well, I can only remember what I said before. M: That’s all right.

W: The man was tall, six feet, and he had dark hair, and he had a beard. M: Very good. All right, did he have any other distinguishing features? W: Um, no, none that I can remember.

M: Do you remember how old he was by any chance? W: Well, I guess around 30, maybe younger.

M: Mm. Do you remember anything about what he was wearing? W: Yes, yes, he had on a dark sweater, a solid color.

M: OK. Um, anything else that strikes you at the moment?

W: I remember he was wearing a light shirt under the sweater. Yes, yes.

M: All right. Mrs. Dawson, I really appreciate you coming here today. I’m just going

to ask you to look at some photographs before you leave if you don’t mind. It won’t take very long. Can you do that for me? W: Oh, of course.
