UNIT 10 Recording 1
I = Interviewer E = Elaine A = Aled
I: Elaine and Aled, the luckiest couple in Britain today … welcome to the
programme!
E/A: Thank you.
I: So Elaine, tell us about that moment when you found out.
E: I saw the winning numbers on television and I phoned Aled straight away!
A: I didn’t believe her at first. I thought ‘You’re lying!’
E: I didn’t believe myself! I was in shock!
I: And is it true that you’re not going to stop working?
A: That’s right. We enjoy our jobs and we’ve got lots of friends here. I don’t like doing nothing. I think hard work’s good for you.
E: Definitely. People think working in a fast food restaurant is boring … but it’s not. We have a lot of fun. It’s an important part of our life.
I: So what are you going to do with the money?
E: Well, first of all, we’re going to get married this summer. We already had plans to get married before we won the lottery, maybe in two years, but now we can do it this summer.
I: Congratulations!
A: Or next summer.
I: Ah …
E: This summer.
A: And we’d like to move. At the moment I’m living with my parents and Elaine’s living with hers. So we’re going to look for a house to buy.
E: By the sea.
A: Yes, maybe by the sea, or …
I: Are you going to take a break? Travel around the world maybe?
A: No, I don’t think so, but we’re going to have a holiday. We’re going to the Canary Islands.
I: Fabulous. And have you got any other plans? Maybe a new car … or clothes?
E: Yeah, I’m going to buy some new clothes. I’m going shopping with my mum and sister this weekend. Cars …? Well, Aled doesn’t drive so no, he isn’t going to buy a car.
A: Right … not now … but I’d like to learn to drive and then maybe in the future …
I: What would you like to drive?
A: I’d like a Mercedes … or maybe, or maybe a Ferrari.
E: But we haven’t got plans to buy a car now.
I: OK – great! Thanks very much for talking to us today. Oh, just one last question … How did you celebrate when you first heard the news?
E: Well … we went out and had a burger!

Conversation 1
M = Man W = Woman
W: Hi, Sergio. Let’s do something different tomorrow. It’s Saturday.
M: OK … How about going to an art gallery? There’s a new exhibition on at the Tate.
W: Ur, I don’t really feel like doing that. I’d like to stay in. What about having a ‘movie marathon’? You know, we could just sit at home all day and watch films, eat junk food …
M: Mmm … Do we have to? I saw a film last night. I don’t want to sit around all day anyway. I know! Let’s cook something. Or I can.
W: Sounds lovely. Why don’t we invite Augusto and Carla for lunch?
M: Brilliant! I’ll try a new recipe and we can have a food tasting.
Conversation 2
W: Hey, Tom. Are you busy this weekend?
M: Er … No, I don’t think so.
W: Great. Let’s do something!
M: OK. What do you want to do?
W: Well … How about going for a bike ride and having a picnic?
M: A bike ride? That sounds a bit tiring … Why don’t we play computer games?
W: You’re joking!
M: No, really. Why not?
W: Well … because, I sit in front of my computer all week – I’m not going to turn it on tomorrow! Look, let’s go to the theatre. Actually, there’s a Shakespeare play on in the park: Romeo and Juliet .
M: Hmm. I can never understand Shakespeare plays …
W: OK, well, why don’t we read it together first?
M: Oh, but can we get tickets?
W: Yes. It’s free.
M: Ah, fantastic! Come on then …

UNIT 10 Recording 9
In Dublin today, it’ll be hot and sunny with temperatures up to twenty-five degrees Celsius. Tomorrow will be cloudy, but quite warm, with a high of twenty. Things will change on Friday night: it’ll be a wet night with rain from midnight to early next morning. The temperature will fall to ten so it’ll feel quite cool, but the rain will stop, so we’ll have a dry day all Saturday. Sunday will be windy and cloudy … and very cold, so make sure you wear your winter coat!
UNIT 10 Recording 10
1 Oh, I think spring is the best. I love it when the flowers come out and the birds start singing … that’s when everything is so fresh. It’s the perfect time to take a walk along the Danube.
2 It rained every day, but we had a great time. We went to museums, sat in cafés and played cards.
3 In winter I love skiing … getting up early to spend the whole day on the mountain skiing – fantastic! I love having a hot chocolate in a local café at the end of the afternoon – it’s the perfect time to do that.
4 I really don’t like it when it’s very hot, ...
