Clerk: Can you tell what it looked like?

Man: Well, it’s a silver metal one, with a sort of stretch band. It’s got a round face.

Clerk: Hmm. Digital or with hands?

Man: With hands.

Clerk: Sorry, we don’t seem to have one like that at the moment. But if you are lucky it might turn up before the end of the day.

Conversation 3

Clerk: Hmm. In the winter I get about ten of those handed in every day. What does yours look like?

Woman: It’s black and it was all folded up when I lost it. It’s got a black plastic handle with a little silver square button on it.

Clerk: Well, here’s the ones that were handed in yesterday. Would it be one of those?

Woman: No, unfortunately, it’s not. And it looks like it’s going to rain on the way home, too.

Clerk: Well, there is a shop in Terminal 2 that sells them. I don’t think they are very expensive there.

Conversation 4

Man: Well, I suppose it’s my fault really – still, getting dressed on the way out here in the taxi...

Clerk: What does it look like?

Man: It’s made of lovely yellow silk with stripes diagonally across it. My wife gave it to me, and I’d hate to lose it.

Clerk: Well, we’ve got several here. Would it be one of these?

Man: That’s it! There!

Clerk: Oh, it’s rather nice, isn’t it? If nobody claimed it, I wouldn’t mind it for myself.

Man: Well, at least I won’t get into trouble when I get home tonight.

Conversation 5

Clerk: There’s one over here somewhere. When did you lose it?

Girl: Around lunchtime today. It’s a sort of square with a little plastic window on the front and it’s got two small earphones.

Clerk: Not this one?

Girl: No, mine’s white, not black.

Clerk: Well, nobody’s handed it in yet, I’m afraid.

Girl: Hm, Ok, thanks. I’ll ring you up tomorrow and see if it’s come in.

² T 2.3

Shop assistant: Can I help you?

Customer: Yes. I’m looking for a new camera. Something compact, not too big.

Shop assistant: Right. Tell me, how much do you want to spend?

Customer: I’m not sure. About four, $500, I suppose.

Shop assistant: OK. Then I suggest you look at these three. This black one here - the Zycon 250 is our most expensive model. It sells for $499. I know that’s at the top of your price limit, but it’s a very good camera. And it has a very large zoom lens. The grey one – the Rialtex 2500 here is a bit cheaper. It costs $419. It’s popular – one of our best-selling models. One great feature of the grey one is its shock resistant case. Now this silver one the Rialtex 2000 is quite good and it’s a real bargain – only $349. It’s the cheapest we have.

Customer: I see. And how does the picture quality compare?

Shop assistant: Well, the grey one is very good. It takes good sharp pictures and the body is made of all metal components. It also comes with a remote control and tripod. It’s also the smallest of the three and also quite light, at about 450 grams.

Customer: And the black one?

Shop assistant: The black one is the highest quality one, of course. It takes excellent pictures and has a very light body, and comes with a carry case. It weighs about 400 grams and is very compact.

Customer: How about the silver one?

Shop assistant: Well, obviously it doesn’t have the quality of the other two. The picture is not as sharp, and the lens is not as good. One special feature, though, is it’s automatic flash. It’s probably the heaviest at around 550 grams, because it has a large metal body.

Customer: Do they all come with a remote?

Shop assistant: No, only the grey one has a remote. The other two come with a carry case.

Customer: Good. What about warranties?

Shop assistant: They all come with a warranty. The silver one is guaranteed for one year. The grey one has a long warranty – eighteen months, I think. The black one has the longest warranty: it’s guaranteed for three years.

Customer: Great. Thanks for your help. Let me have a think about it for a few minutes before I decide.

Conversation 1

Customer: Excuse me.

Shop assistant: Yes.

Customer: I want to make a complaint.

Shop assistant: Yes?

Customer: I bought this hairdryer here this week and it doesn’t work. I want my money back.

Shop assistant: What seems to be the problem with it, Sir?

Customer: It doesn’t work. When I turn it on, nothing happens.

Shop assistant: Let me take a look at it. Hmm, you’re right. Well, these hairdryers are fully guaranteed. So, I can exchange this one for a new one, if you like.

Customer: I don’t want a new one. I want my money back.

Shop assistant: Certainly, Sir. Do you have your receipt?

Conversation 2

Customer: Excuse me.

Shop assistant: Yes?

Customer: Would it be possible for me to return the shirt that I bought here last week?

Shop assistant: May I ask why?

Customer: Yes, I bought it for my husband, and I’m afraid he doesn’t like the colour.

Shop assistant: Let me see. Do you have your receipt?

Customer: Yes, here it is.

Shop assistant: Hmm.

Customer: There is nothing wrong with it. He didn’t even take it out of the box.

Shop assistant: Yes, well, everything seems to be OK. I’ll give you credit for the full amount.

Customer: Well, actually, could I have a refund? There is nothing I really want to buy.

Shop assistant: We don’t usually give refunds. But I suppose, just this once we could.

Customer: Thank you very much.

Conversation 3

Shop assistant: How can I help you, Sir?

Customer: I’d like to make a complaint. This dish that I bought here has a crack in it. Can I exchange it for another one?

Shop assistant: Do you have your receipt with you?

Customer: Yes, here it is.

Shop assistant: Hmm. I see you bought this last week, when it was on sale.

Customer: Yes, that’s right.

Shop assistant: Then, I’m sorry, Sir, but I can’t give you a refund. Our policy is no return on sale items.

Customer: What? But this is damaged. I don’t want a cracked…

Shop assistant: Yes, I’m sorry, but that’s why it was on sale. You see here, you paid $20 for it. This item usually sells for $39. We marked the price down because of the damage.

Customer: But I would never have bought it if I had known that it was cracked.

Shop assistant: I’m sorry, Sir, but it is our policy.

Customer: That’s not good enough. I’m not happy. I want to speak to the manager.

Conversation 4

Customer: Are you the manager?

Manager: Yes.

Customer: I’d like to make a complaint. The service here is terrible. I waited at my table for twenty minutes before a waiter came to serve me. Twenty minutes! And then it took him another ten minutes to bring me my coffee. And when I complained he was rude to me.

Manager: I am sorry, Sir. What did the waiter say to you?

Customer: He told me to leave if I wasn’t happy.

Manager: Oh, dear! Allow me to apologize, Sir. Our waiters are very busy. And they do get impatient at times. I’ll speak to him about this.

Customer: Please, do.

UNIT 3

² T 3.1

Recording 1

I had a great time. I saw the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, went on the cruise, went swimming in beautiful, clean beaches and saw the Olympic Stadium. The nightlife was fantastic – so many nightclubs and restaurants. I went there in November, so the weather was warm, but not too hot. About 27 ˚C. I met up with a couple about a week after and we went backpacking up in the North. The people were really friendly I can’t wait to get back.

Recording 2

I went there in the middle of winter. And it was so cold and the wind was so icy! I stood on the wall and I felt the wind coming from the Arctic. It was so breathtakingly and get it felt strange knowing all the history about the country. The capital city was so big with huge wide streets and cultures experiences to be had everywhere. I especially liked the Temple of Heaven – beautiful colours representing the Earth in the sky. I was surprised to see people selling the ice-cream on the streets without a fridge. I ate some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had.

Recording 3

I was really excited about going there, as I wanted to experience as much of the cultures as I could. I had seen some many pictures of the country before, but seeing that amazing tomb for myself was indescribable. I could only wish someone would build a tomb like that for me one day. There were interesting things to see and do in other parts of the country too. The weather was so hot and the food was just as hot. I don’t know if I’d like to go back – maybe in a cooler season.

Recording 4

We had a two-day tour that left from Paris. It took such a long time to arrange visas and get our passports cleared. We stayed in a small hotel about 10-minutes walk from Red Square. We saw all the sights. I can’t say I really enjoyed my stay there. It was just too cold. I supposed the cathedral was the highlight – being able to see something in the real life rather than in pictures! I was happy to get back to Paris.

QUESTIONS:

1. What was the most fantastic thing during the trip?

2. Did the weather make the holiday more pleasant?

3. Is there any wish to come back there one day?

4. What sights were there?

5. What was the most surprising things about the city?

8. Why was he excited of going there?

9. Why does he want to go there in a cooler season?

² T 3.4

Recording 1

I had a great time, I’m so glad I went. Everything I did was just fantastic. The weather was especially good, everyday it was warm and sunny. The local people were extremely friendly and very helpful. I have never experienced anything like that before. I think I liked it because I was just lying on the beach and relaxing in the sun during the day. And at night eating delicious food and dancing. It’s the best holiday I’ve ever had.

Recording 2

It was good, but I wish the weather wasn’t so hot. Every day was about 34 ˚C. And so windy. The hot north wind that felt like it was burning my skin. I could not do anything during the day because of the weather. The nights were good because at least I could go out and explore the local markets. So I experience some of the local culture. But I’d stayed in the hotel with air-conditioning instead of the local style accommodation. I might go again, but at a different time of the year.

Recording 3

I can’t say I enjoyed it at all. Our plane was delayed for 5 hours before we left, and when we landed, it took about two and a half hours to get through customs. When we finally got to a hotel it was nothing like the brochures or what the travel agency had said it would like. The room was really small and dark. I ate at the small restaurant on the first night and got extremely ill from something I ate. I spent the next four days in bed and then was time to come home. It was the worst experience of my life.

QUESTIONS:

1. Did she really enjoy her holiday?

2. Were local people friendly and helpful?

3. What was she doing during her holiday?

4. Why did he go out at nights?

5. What was the average temperature?

6. Why did he prefer to stay in the hotel instead of local style accommodation?

7. How long was the delay at the airport?

8. Did he enjoy his trip?

9. Why did he spend four days in bed?

10. Why was he disappointed to see a small and dark room?
