What concerns the man about the oil company?

I've been reading about this big oil company on social media and I'm not happy.<br />Apparently they are polluting the local rivers.<br />I've read that.<br />Even if it's true, they provide jobs for local people, so they are not all bad.

Where will the man be?

Would you be able to sign for a package for me that's been delivered today?<br />I'm off to the shops.<br />No problem. I'm not going anywhere for the next few hours.<br />I'm going to sit on my bed and watch a film.

What did the man dislike about the sandwich?

Would you like cheese in your ham sandwich or not?<br />You put cheese in it yesterday and it tasted funny, so I don't want that again.<br />I'd like tomatoes please.<br />Sorry, we've run out of tomatoes.

What do we know about the shirts from the new shop?

I've just bought this shirt but already there is a mark on it, plus a button is missing.<br />Is it from that new shop? I bought a shirt there as well, there was a small hole in it.

Why is Margaret calling Joe?

Margaret, is that you? It's very late.<br />Joe, I'm sorry if I woke you up, but I can't find my purse. I'm wondering if I left it<br />in your car.<br />I'll go and look. I couldn't sleep anyway.

What are your plans after medical school? Here in the teacher asked this question in<br />class just now. I felt confused.<br />Well, I still want to be a general physician, but I'm thinking about specialising in children's<br />medicine.<br />Really? I think you'd be good at that.<br />You think so?<br />Yeah, you're so good at calming people down.<br />Well, maybe you should consider doing the same thing. You're good at making people laugh.<br />Well, thanks, but I'm not sure. Kids are cute, but I think I'd rather be a dentist.<br />Oh yeah?<br />Yeah, Professor Clark suggested I become a dentist, and I really like the idea.<br />That's really cool.

If we keep going on this path, it should lead us directly to the temple.<br />That's what you said two hours ago. Do you think we are getting close?<br />I've never been here. Remember, my phone won't work up here in the mountains, so I can't<br />get an exact position of where we are. But if I'm reading this map correctly, we should<br />get there any minute now.<br />This journey has been pretty incredible, hasn't it? We've been camping wild for three days<br />now. We've seen powerful eagles, plenty of wild goats, and we even caught sight of some<br />sort of big cat.<br />I'm not sure whether it was a big cat. It was so far away. It was hard to tell.<br />Either way, we've seen some amazing animals sleeping under the stars at night.<br />Which was very cold.<br />It was cold, yes, but it was still amazing. We've had an adventure whichever way you<br />look at it. It certainly beats studying for our exams.<br />That's true. I'm so glad that's all over. How do you think the villagers will treat<br />us when we eventually reach the temple?<br />I've heard they are very welcoming to travellers.<br />Once we get past this rock, the temple should come into view. Oh! Wow! There it is! It's<br />beautiful!<br />If we keep going on this path, it should lead us directly to the temple.<br />That's what you said two hours ago.

I've been living alone in London for a while now. Everybody here is very kind to me. But<br />there are times when I feel homesick and get rather sad. It's bound to happen when you<br />live far from home. I sometimes get a little tired of cooking meals just for myself. Once<br />a week I go to Soho. Soho is a part of London where there are all sorts of restaurants, French,<br />Italian, Greek, Spanish, Indian and Chinese. So when I don't want to cook, I will go to<br />one of the restaurants in Soho and have a meal there. Sometimes I even treat myself<br />to a bottle of wine. Wine isn't cheap in London, at least not when you buy it at a restaurant.<br />It isn't something we drink every day. British people do not talk as much as we do. They<br />are more reserved. I've often travelled by train and noticed that people seldom chat<br />with each other during the journey. They like to keep themselves to themselves. A British<br />friend of mine who can speak seven languages is also quite a quiet person. But I found<br />one way to make him talk. He's very interested in mountain climbing. If I ask him about climbing,<br />he's always ready to talk. When it comes to that subject, he suddenly opens up.<br />I've been living alone in London for a while now.
