What present does Eric get for his birthday?

Happy birthday, Eric. Here's your present.<br />Wow, what is it? It feels like a book. A diary maybe? An album. Thank you.

 Where does the conversation most likely take place?

Does this bus go to the shopping mall in the town centre?<br />Sorry, no. This one goes to the station. You need the number 7 bus that goes to the marketplace.<br />Go across the street to the bus stop outside the bank and get the one going the other way.<br />Thank you.

 When will Tom get his book bag?

Hey Sally, I've got Tom's book bag here. Can you give it to him?<br />I won't see him today, Harry.<br />It has his science books in it. Will you see him tomorrow?<br />Um, we have science together the day after. I'll give it to him then.

 How is the weather now?

Hey Maria, did you check the forecast?<br />Yeah, it looks like rain later today.<br />Oh, but it was so sunny in the morning, I'll bring an umbrella just in case.<br />Yeah, it's just a little cloudy now, but you never know.

 What are the speakers mainly talking about?

Wow, you've caught the sun. Where have you been?<br />I recently spent a couple of weeks by the lake, but I actually got this from working the last few days.<br />Oh, yeah, I suppose it has been hot here. I imagined you'd been lying on the beach or sailing a boat.

We would like to arrange a visit to your centre. Could you give us a reduced price for a group of 20 students, please?<br />Yes, we do an educational reduction on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.<br />So you would get 15% off on those days, but it would be better if you could come on a Thursday.<br />We'll do you a group rate then, as well.<br />That sounds great.

Oh my goodness! I've just made it! For once the train was on time!<br />You did have to run pretty fast. I saw you from way back there, and I was worried I'd<br />have to go into town on my own.<br />Everything went wrong. I couldn't find my mobile phone, and then one of the heels of<br />my black shoes broke off. That's why I'm wearing my sports shoes. I didn't want to because<br />they're really dirty. I didn't have time to clean them after my last run, and they<br />don't match my coat at all.<br />Well, at least you were able to run fast.<br />That's true.<br />Oh my goodness! I've just made it!

Here's the new menu for the restaurant, Wendy.<br />Oh, Mark, I love the addition of the seafood and vegetarian options.<br />They're wonderful and expensive, but I think they'll make a big difference.<br />It'll also help us stand out from the competition and attract a wider range of customers.<br />Yeah, good idea.<br />I also want to start offering delivery services.<br />We can reach more customers that way. What do you think?<br />We'll need delivery drivers.<br />Ben said he'd be happy to do it at first. If we need more people, we can hire some.<br />How about the packaging?<br />I've got that covered. I increased the order for leftovers packaging.<br />That's perfect, then.<br />Um, I'll handle the scheduling to make room for the deliveries. Do you want to add anything to the menu before we finalize it?<br />How about a deal for repeat customers?<br />It'll be good for repeat customer loyalty, and it'll be another selling point for marketing. I'll add it to our website.<br />Great idea. I'll make sure to include that in our promotions. The new menu looks like it's going to be amazing.<br />Here's the new menu for the restaurant, Wendy.<br />Oh, Mark, I love the addition of the seafood and vegetarian options.

I'd always enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together again since I was<br />a child, so when I left school I decided to become a mechanic. I studied hard and eventually<br />got my qualifications and started working. First I worked mostly on cars and vehicles,<br />but after getting bored of my town and longing for adventure I decided that I wanted to try<br />something new. I decided to apply for a position as a mechanic on a ship. It was a big change,<br />but I was excited. I learnt a lot about the different systems on the ship and how to keep<br />them running. It was a challenge and so different from before I struggled at first, but I enjoyed<br />it once I got used to it. I felt a great sense of satisfaction when I fixed things.<br />The crew were all very helpful and it was a great experience. I travelled all over the<br />world and saw some amazing places. I completed my work and travelled. I learnt a lot about<br />the different cultures and was able to use the skills I learnt in my training. Eventually<br />I returned to my country and started my own repair shop.<br />I'd always enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together again since I was<br />a child, so when I left school I decided to become a mechanic.
