What will the man do next?

When is the meeting going to start?<br />I'm not sure, but I don't think it will begin for another half hour.<br />Ms Black called to say that she is delayed in traffic.<br />Okay, I'm going to go downstairs for a cup of tea.

 What does the man advise the woman to do?

Years ago. It was easy for me to think of new ideas. But now I have none. Do you think exercise helps me to keep creative?<br />Sure. And maybe seeing a doctor could also help you.

 How will the boy go home now?

Hi Mum, it's alright. I am just waiting for the next subway train. There aren't any buses<br />at this time of night. See you soon. I hope next time I'll go by bike.<br />Okay Tony, see you soon.

 Why didn't the woman buy the coat?

I hear you didn't buy the coat, did it cost too much?<br />No, I had enough money and I wanted to buy it, but they didn't have my size.

 Where are the speakers?

Thanks so much for coming to visit me.<br />No problem.<br />So, how do you feel?<br />Not too bad.<br />The doctor says I'll be able to leave in a few days.

Hi Tim, just ringing to see if you've got the details of the basketball team's trip<br />for next month.<br />Yes, I went to the travel agency this morning. First of all we're flying to Scotland. Our<br />flight leaves at 6.30 in the morning. We're playing four matches there and we'll have<br />three days free, so we're going to hire a bus to the mountains.<br />That was wonderful. Where are you going after that?<br />Greece. We were supposed to be playing five matches there, but two have been called off.<br />That means there's a bit of free time to sunbathe on the beach.<br />Great. I hope the weather is good.<br />I'm sure we'll enjoy it, whatever the weather.<br />Hi Tim, just ringing to see if you've got the details of the basketball team's trip<br />for next month.<br />Yes, I went to the travel agency this morning.

Have you read this article about the girl named Sarah who gave up a modelling job?<br />Of course I have. She lives in the same neighbourhood as me. Why?<br />Why on earth didn't she take it? She could have made millions.<br />But at the same time if she doesn't value that. So what? I think it's really nice that<br />it's not the main thing that she just wants to show herself off. What a wise decision.<br />Yeah, but all the same. If not for herself she ought to have done it for her family.<br />Her dad must have felt sick when she turned the offer down.<br />What on earth for? He's got no right. It's none of his business. I blame him for talking to the<br />newspapers. He shouldn't have spoken to them in the first place. It's his fault for attracting<br />all this interest. That's not fair. He's her dad. He didn't want to see her throw away the chance of<br />a lifetime. That's all. Have you read this article about the girl named Sarah who gave up a modelling<br />job? Of course I have.

Hello everyone. I'm sure you're all familiar with the wonderful game of chess. But have<br />you ever stopped to think about where it came from and when? Well, we believe the game dates<br />back to before 600 AD and was first played in what is now Northern India. We think the<br />form played by Europeans and Americans today travelled through Iran to the main business<br />centres of Europe by the year 1000. The game was then taken to Northern Europe, so by the<br />1400s chess was played throughout Europe. There are quite a few forms of the game found<br />in other parts of the world. For example, one form is played in Japan, another form is played<br />in China. One person whose name stands out in the history of chess is the chess master<br />Howard Staunton. Staunton lived in England in the mid 1800s and gave his name to the<br />chess pieces that are still used in competitions all over the world today. The idea of chess<br />competitions is relatively recent. The first official competition was played in 1866 in<br />London and was won by a man called Steinitz. He was, in effect, the world's first official<br />winner and he held the title until 1894 when he was beaten by a German called Immanuel<br />Lasker, who in turn lost the title in 1921 to a Cuban called Capa Blanca.<br />Hello everyone, I'm sure you're all familiar with the wonderful game of chess, but have<br />you ever stopped to think about where it came from and when?
