A Hi, is that Anna?
B Yes, hi Rob.
A Hi there. Look, there’s a party on Saturday. Would you like to come?
B Well, I’m not sure. I don’t really like parties. Whose party is it?
A Linda’s. It’s her birthday. There’ll be lots of people you know. I’m sure you’ll have a good time.
B Well, I’ll think about it and I’ll tell you tomorrow.

A What did you do at the weekend, Martin?
B I went to a concert. The Philharmonia at the City Hall.
A What was it?
B Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
A Was it good?
B Well, not bad. The orchestra were fantastic, but the singers weren’t very good.
A Oh, that’s a pity.

A Are you good at languages?
B Well, quite – I can speak good French, and I can read Italian well, though I can’t speak it very well.
A What about German?
B I can understand it a bit, but I can’t really speak it.
A Well, I think that’s brilliant. I can only speak a bit of Spanish and that’s it.

B I’d like some information about the sports centre. My daughter wants to learn to play a team sport.
A How old is she?
B She’s 12.
A Well, she could learn volleyball, football, basketball.
B I think she’s like basketball. She’s quite tall for her age.
A Well, there are two groups. One trains on Tuesdays and one on Thursdays.

B Yes, that’s fine.
A Can I have her name, please?
B Yes, her name’s Susan Stevens.
