by them. It’s curious that he didn’t mention it to me. We had not expected that we should encounter so much difficulty in finding the place. Although Samson was very strong, he perished at the hands of his enemies. That she was a duchess made a great impact on the boy’s family. The problem was tricky enough to challenge the minds of the best scientists. Whatever your opinion on vivisection, you must admit that it helps to save human lives. People who cannot bear with a little inconvenience should never enter the state of matrimony. If anybody broke into the house, the alarm would go off automatically. It’s time for the commission to reach an agreement. There must be few people so ignorant of the past as he is. Hardly anybody failed to attend the meeting. He had never before addressed such a large crowd. I shall consider this matter seriously. Few people would agree with you. He threatened to resign if they did not give him a rise. It was only after I had read the last sentence that I realized how important the letter was. I wrote the announcement in large black letters because I wanted everyone to notice it. Your arguments have had very little influence on him. He did not start speaking until the whole class was attending to him. I followed the doctors’s orders exactly. She had two candles ready on the table as there might be a power cut. His rapid recovery was due to silled medical attention. This door may be used only in an emergency. He has been speaking for three hours. My anxiety was quite unnecessary. He had complete confidence in his ability to deal with the matter. He completed the novel only after five years. The explorers meant to follow the river to its source. My cat and my dog are on very friendly terms. It looked like rain. It’s getting late. We ought to go home. The fortune-teller’s warning impressed the emperor far more than anyone would have expected.

Some problems are inevitable if you go to live in another country. Whether he is worshipped or despised is all the same to me. The police have told Bert that they believe it was he who stole the car. At last I slipped a five-pound note into his hand and it was only then that he gave me the information. He has had to give up his legal practice because he is so often ill. Speaking personally, I could stay here for ever. For a moment she thought he was her long-lost husband. I don’t see why we must start so early. Washing in cold water is nothing unusual for him. He asked me if I thought it would be a good thing to buy the second hand car. The bell in the corridor should be rung if there is a fire. He next said that there were, of course, exceptions. That’s not your business. He told me he was sorry he had lost his temper. Returning the same day would be senseless. He wasn’t at all annoyed by my criticism, which, he said, he found very helpful. This has nothing to do with the case we are considering. There is a danger that you will get a serious illness if you drink this water. How loudly he always speaks. Everybody must wear a seat belt. I have a strong feeling that he was involved in last month’s bank robbery. It was assumed that local residents had permission to use the path as a short cut. They haven’t enough time to cover the basic syllabus, least of all do background reading. In spite of his illness, he attended the memorial service. He was operated on many times. The performance was not so good as I had anticipated. I think it’s a great pity you didn’t tell me before. He has not only written the words of the songs but he has also set some of them to music. Please, change this pound note for me. I felt so full of self-pity that I could take little interest in life. Although there may be a bad storm later in the day, the fishing boats are all leaving the harbour. They will have completed the redecorating by next week and then we can use the room again immediately. She provided them with all they probably needed.

If wages are increased too much, there will be further inflation. He behaved in such an extraordinary way that I wondered whether he was quite sane. I intend to take the day off tomorrow, whatever my boss’s opinion. Coffee prices are not likely to go up next month. The dog caught sight of the stranger sitting at a table and immediately started barking furiously. That child is always asking questions. Conditions in factories gradually got better. His inability to control his temper has made him many enemies. I don’t like that colour. All but three or four of these sentences have been easy to deal with. He plays the guitar, and he also writes songs. The town was too small to be marked on the map. My advice is: take the train. What a pity he didn’t spend more time revising. He started work as soon as the term had finished. I should have learnt French at school. They didn’t follow the map so they got lost. They ought to mend the roof. The coat was so expensive that I didn’t buy it. Your car wants cleaning. People are doing research into ways of curing cancer. The doctor asked me politely to wait outside. I expect that he will get there by lunchtime. His second attempt on the world record was successful. Helen can play the piano better than Elizabeth. What particularly impressed me was her excellent command of English. The result of the match was never in doubt. I’d rather we started at 7:00. There’ll be trouble if you do that again. The accident was not his fault. Most people know that Britain’s economy is heavily dependent on North Sea oil. I’d be grateful if you would check these accounts for me. It’s unlikely that the constructor will complete the work before February. The jumper you knitted for my daughter no longer fits her. Immediately after his arrival things went wrong. I applied for the job but I was turned down. The refugees continued to feel unsafe until they crossed

the border. The students’s rioutous behaviour should have been severely punished. There are more people out of work in this country than ever before. The chances are that the whole thing will have been forgotten by next term. He said he was anxious about the plight of the homeless. He owed his rescue to a passer-by. There was not a singly copy of the new book left in the shops. You must be on time for your interview. She’s proud of being such a good cook. My protests were ignored. We only despatch goods after receiving the money. You pay 50 pounds a month for a period of one year. He will not be put off by their comments. Some people accept that nuclear war is inevitable. The fridge is completely empty. Money is of little value on a desert island. Can you tell me where the Midland Hotel is? The Prime Minister felt it appropriate to make a statement. Immediately after his arrival things went wrong. The truth only came out on the publication of the general’s personal diaries. In spite of the forecast it stayed fine. We’d prefer you not to smoke. You really should be able to dress yourself by now! Providing your handwriting is legible, the examiner will accept your answer. He will have to accept your offer. Not many people attended the meeting. He has definitely agreed to accept the job. The old lady’s handbag has been stolen. Without his help, we would all have died. He forgot about the gun until he got home. You can use it as long as you like, and it won’t wear out. You have disobeyed; you will therefore be punished. You scarcely ever hand in your work on time. It’s a pity I couldn’t go to your party. They say Mr Scott is a very good administrator. Proving that I had not been guilty of such an offence was my responsibility. They were concentrated on their reading when I saw them. It soon began to snow very hard. We finally managed to persuade him to take the job. Find more about working conditions before you contact

You’re young and healthy and will have plenty more opportunities. BRIGHT SIDE I wasn’t sure about him at first, but now he seems very good at his job.

They look so alike that it’s very easy to confuse her with her sister. I was so worried that my mind couldn’t function normally. I don’t understand how to fill in this form. The news of his death was such a shock that it hasn’t been fully understood yet. He’s got such a strong accent that half the time I can’t understand a word he’s saying. He feels bad about cheating them. I didn’t have the courage to tell him what I really thought. I don’t know what’s going to happen but I’m pessimistic. I don’t want to imagine how much it’s going to cost. I wouldn’t dare say a thing like that. I don’t mind discussing it with you. I’m very excited about seeing you next week. I don’t want to criticise him because he’s a good friend. Her job is making her miserable. She gets bored with things very quickly. I find grammar exercises extremely boring. She’s angry that she is treated like the office slave. He feels bitter and inferior because he didn’t go to university. He got revenge on her. I don’t feel resentful towards her –she deserves her success. The offer to work in Brazil was a complete surprise. I’m not surprised that he’s got money problems. I was surprised by his rudeness. I wasn’t expecting you, so I haven’t tidied the house yet. I didn’t want a serious conversation. They buy nice furniture. I don’t really like this kind of music. They’ve been saying how wonderful the hotel was. I don’t think that violence is right in any circumstance. I don’t believe that the film is as good as people say. People are persuaded by adverts to spend more than they can afford. I find their lifestyle quite attractive, although I probably wouldn’t enjoy it. The dress was so tempting that I bought it. I don’t know why people are attracted to spending all day on the beach. When she left home, she had to do everything on her own. If you leave this job, don’t assume that you’ll get another. I’m expecting to be promoted soon. Our car is extremely reliable; it hasn’t disappointed us once in the last ten years. The original painting and the copy look the same to me.

I don’t want to point out a trivial difference, but your facts aren’t quite right. Being mean and being careful with money are not quite the same. Some people say there’s hardly any difference between love and hate. I have a friendly relationship with everyone at work. Have you become anyone’s friend since you arrived? He’s stopped being friends with Clare. Have you heard the news? Roger has divorced. I used to be a friend of his. You know I told you I was a millionaire? Well, I was teasing you. Her comments used words in a very clever and amusing way. It’s a brilliant film –I laughed uncontrollably all the way through. Everybody made fun of him because he’d had his hair cut so short. What did his silence mean? He pretended that his latest business failure was not important. Football is the most important thing in his life. You must see a doctor as soon as possible. It’s time you realised what’s important and what isn’t. He said that the crisis wasn’t important. I met some old friends by chance in the pub. By chance I was there when she revealed the truth. If I’m lucky, I’ll get a job as soon as I get there. Guess who I met by chance on my way here. Fortunately, the boat hadn’t left. If nothing unfortunate happens, I’ll see you next week. Because of good advice, I was able to make the right decision. I’ve tried, but I simply can’t cook at all. He finds it impossible to make decisions. I’ll have to wait before I know whether he’ll keep his promise. I’m afraid I’ll be a bit late because something unexpected has happened. There was never any doubt what the result would be. It’s impossible to predict how long it will take to do this. I shouldn’t think that anything will go wrong. He’ll probably get here late; he usually does. The profit that might be made is enormous. It’s not certain whether I’ll be able to pay the bills. A lot of things keep stopping me from working. You’ll have to stard doing some serious work soon.

I’m trying to concentrate but all that noise you’re making is distracting me. I don’t like disturbing her when she’s busy. You should think about the price before you decide whether to buy it or not. He’s not sure whether to go or not. I’ve considered the advantages and disadvantages and I’ve decided not to go. Considering that she’s only just started, she’s doing very well. She’s not sure whether she wants to marry him or not. They will consider age and experience when they decide the salary. I was going to argue with him, but I decided that it was a bad idea. I’m not considering that suggestion. When I agreed to do this. I didn’t think that it would be so expensive. Let me give you a clue to help you remember. I’ve completely forgotten what I was going to say. I can very nearly remember the word. I remember this song from somewhere. I can’t remember when or where I’ve met him. Although I don’t speak Italian very well, I understood the general meeting of what she said. I’m fully aware of the fact that it’s not your fault. He doesn’t realise what other people are saying about him. From what I read in the paper, the economic situation is getting worse. The way I see it, there’s only one thing you can do. He didn’t realise the cost involved in buying a house. After a while, I realised that I’d made a terrible mistake. I don’t mind changing my plans. The neighbours were arguing. Do we agree? I don’t like having to pay so much for so little. I don’t want to argue with you. In the end we found a solution that suited us both. I’ll compromise with you. We’ve agreed to share the cost. I expressed my disagreement with his plan. He thinks that capital punishment is a good idea. If you do what I ask, everything will be all right. I never have arguments with my parents. I was going to leave, but because of what she said, I didn’t. I didn’t want to buy it, but because he insisted, I bought it. You must think about it carefully before you decide, she

told me. They have security guards so that people won’t try to steal. They’re telling me that I must make a decision soon. When I make my complaint, I hope that you’ll say you agree with me. She’s always trying to force other people to accept her opinions. He has always done things to help her in her career. He offered them more money to encourage them to do the job quickly. The judge gave a harsh sentence so that other people wouldn’t commit the same crime. She was nervous about going to the doctor’s, so I went with her so that she wouldn’t be alone. Many people believe that the death penalty deters criminals. I was forced to apologise. Don’t listen to him –he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The recent increases in air fares haven’t changed the number of people wanting to fly. I don’t influence the way that the business is managed. Everyone contributed to the team’s success. I wish he wouldn’t keep asking me about my sex life. This is none of your business. I didn’t get involved in their conversation. She said it was none of my business. I prefer not to get involved with him. I didn’t participate in the argument. The decision had nothing to do with me. Although I set off late, I succeeded in getting there on time. Nothing had happened on my first day at work. The whole day happened as planned. I gave up trying to make friends with the other students because I was making no progress. It seems that whatever I try to do, something bad always happens. She always gets what she wants. He’s becoming very successful. The evening was unsuccessful and ended in an argument. The house was so badly damaged in the fire that it couldn’t be repaired. He told me my request was unreasonable. I was exasperated when the appointment was cancelled once again.

THREAT TO BRITISH ATHLETICS FROM SOUTH AFRICAN RUNNER. AIDS DANGER TO BABIES. FAMILY KILLED IN MOTORWAY PILE-UP. BOMB ATTACK ON ARMY BARRACKS IN NORTHERN IRELAND. He found the pressures of the job intolerable. The workers did not arrive home until midnight. The ships in the harbour took the full force of the storm. Most of the orders will have been processed by Friday. They renovated and redecorated the old house. Not much heat came from the radiators. In this job you have to work long hours. He was so skilful that he could complete a portrait in two days. A day rarely went by without a phone call from mother. He had no idea that armed police were waiting for him. We had only just reached the summit when the storm began. It was the first time the cave had been entered by human beings. It was so cold that we stuffed our boots with dried grass. Although he found the car difficult to steer, Andrew was able to negotiate the long course. The authorities failed to accept responsibility for the accident, and that’s difficult for the drivers to come to terms with. Repeated attempts to revive the injured driver were made, but he did not recover consciousness. My job allows us to live where we want to and to pay the mortgage. The organiser’s action almost amounted to negligence. The driver had been travelling at over 180 m.p.h. Up to half a million people may have perished in the earthquake. The team is unlikely to reach the summit. The boxer agreed to take part in the match only on the conditions he himself laid down. Mrs Brown is not involved in the management of this company. Although he liked strawberries very much, John couldn’t face eating any more that day. Although some of his shares had gone down in price, he had made an overall profit. She was interested in nothing except making money. Peter’s workload is more than he can handle.

If you don’t pay by the end of the month, interest is charged. The company does not intend to replace this model. There is not much difference between these two vehicles. It gave him great pleasure to contemplate the misfortune that had befallen his rival. Children often over-react when they learn that animals are killed to provide meat. It is probable that there will be strong resistance to the ban on shooting. Some people respond to the issue of battery farming by avoiding it. The panther took the girl thinking she was a dog. A child may react initially in a variety of ways but will usually come round to accepting the parents’point of view. The tiger was stalking the hunter, who was quite unaware. The young girl died when she was attacked by the panther. The authorities estimate that there are only six tigers now left in the nature reserve. Don’t tell anyone about our plans. Any goods in excess of what is necessary can be returned to the manufacturers. I know those nursery rhymes because I was taught them as a child. Very few people are willing to do this job. She likes presenting seminars on self-promotion more than anything else. Sally was never at a loss for Word. He did not hesitate to write a letter of complaint. Unless we use a special crane we cannot move these containers. I don’t think that Mary is able to accept criticism. Work done before 9 a.m. isn’t overtime. He was forced to accept a transfer to another office. His conviction for theft was not known to us. Are we likely to get this contract? He would do anything to get revenge. John said he disapproved of capital punishment. The crime rate has risen sharply in the last ten years. Whatever your personal opinions, you must carry out your duty. The police officers never mistreated the prisoner. A high standard of customer service is the reason for the company’s success. He decided to make Edinburgh his permanent home. She felt unable to accept the court’s decision. He became an extremely popular singer.

Christopher was determined to get revenge. Most stage-struck teenagers think twice before embarking on a career on the stage, even if they are very keen. Anna’s mother is worried about her health, as well as being concerned about her career. This jockey continued to break the rules, although he was officially warned about his behaviour. Mr Taylor was sacked from his job as Minister of Defence when details of his private life were revealed. This letter guarantees that the boots are authentic. Mary plans to finish her novel and then go abroad. These events did not benefit Tom. She’s very proud of the way she keeps her house clean and tidy. He always took the best jobs for himself without thinking of the bad effect on his colleagues. The commentator decided to criticise particularly the council’s housing policy. This TV programme will not make any difference to the difficult situation that exists between these two organisations. The raft seems to be in good condition despite a leak in the observation port. I was soon lost, as I couldn’t see anything from the vehicle in which I was being transported. There was hardly ever enough work to keep me occupied for the whole morning. The team of experts finally managed to get the right solution to the problem. There was sufficient time for us to feel we had no need to hurry. I spend all my energy trying to support my family. You have to be very clever to be able to wash under a push button tap. Although it was a small thing, I felt I should make myself as presentable as possible. I think everyone got a lot of the training course. With this machine you can do all the calculations you need. This company stands a very good chance of winning an Export Award. The speaker was soon surrounded by a large crowd. Martin suddenly started to sing. These happenings may be bizarre, but the fact that they are well documented means they should be investigated. I may forget about the meeting, so remind me about it. Many people were conned into giving donations and very few realised even later that they had been duped.

The conjuror obtained alarming effects and many of them frightened the younger members of the audience. The evidence on this point is not totally convincing. Let’s not waste any time but get down to the business in hand. People are now claiming that Jones is the murderer. Tom arrived at 11:30 when the party was really and truly under way. Francis discovered the evidence to prove his theory quite by chance. The work he has done is not up to the standard that we expect. Terry is allergic to pears and that is one way in which he takes after his mother. Stephen just couldn’t manage to explain how he made so many spelling errors. At the age of eight, Helen first encountered classical Greek and she’s been fascinated ever since. Tom comes from Yorkshire, but you couldn’t tell his from his accent. Technical manuals are quite suitable for this purpose. The skier injured his back, so that was the end of his championship hopes. Not many people completed the questionnaire. It is disappointing. She was prepared to accept the job. This surprised everyone. He found the treasure. We don’t know where. We will never know. He lived in Spain for ten years. He didn’t learn Spanish. This is surprising. The car is very old. It continues to run well. This is amazing. He may be rich. He may be poor. It will make no difference to his application to build a house in the village. People can invest 1000 pounds now.They will receive 1700 in five years’time. He wrote in his diary. The diary contains nothing but false information. The gansters threatened Peter with violence. The driver behaved in such a way as to place the passengers in danger. Sheila has every chance of getting the job. It wasn’t Jill’s fault that we got lost. The full story of the disaster was not told until 2010. One is very much inclined to dismiss the whole thing as a joke.

After a short prison sentence, he decided to go straight. The right attitude to the job is as important as the right qualifications. He paid no regard to his own comfort. Compared to what we had to put up with before, the meals we are getting now are delicious. We have long since ceased to keep information in printed form. You shouldn’t wander away from the path under any circumstances. I didn’t leave the office at any time. She could rely on nobody but him. They would not confess to the murder until the police came. We not only ran into fog but it began to rain. You can try phoning but it’s possible that the car has been sold by now. If you’ve been out of the country, you obviously haven’t heard about the robbery. I just don’t believe that the line has been engaged all this time. Maybe there’s a fault on it. Don’t start worrying. It’s possible that he took a later plane. I’m sorry to trouble you but I was wondering if there was any possibility of my using your phone for a moment. I’ve forgotten to return the key to the safe. I’m sure people have been looking everywhere for it. It’s possible that you won’t even to show a pass to get in. She’s unlikely to have left without warning anyone. You’d like me to come with you to the hospital, wouldn’t you? Don’t treat him as a criminal! When are you going to listen to me? This is confidential, don’t mention it to anyone. Any correspondence from the London office must be dealt with before other matters. I advise you not to believe what you read in the papers about me. We’d better leave. You’ve got a nerve, implying that it was all my fault. You lent me a tent. It was damaged in a storm. You heard about the storm on the news. He arrived rather late because he had been held up in the rush hour traffic. The weather was unsettled so we decided not to venture very far from the hotel. I wasn’t given the flight number so it was rather difficult to find out when the plane would arrive. Contracts exchanged, you will be free to move into the

I’d better be getting home now. If I have plenty of warning I’ll willingly baby-sit for you. As he grew older, he became more and more forgetful. Since the company’s methods were exposed in a newspaper, people have lost their good opinion of it. The prisoner was recaptured as he rushed towards the gate. I was supposed to finish the report by today. It was in your power to do a lot more to help people than you did. It’s important for me to come to a decision soon. Otherwise I might lose the chance. It wasn’t necessary to buy all those provisions. We’re only going for a weekend, not a month! Is it really necessary for you to ask my advice about every little matter? Perhaps it would have been wise to think of the consequences before you told the boss to drop dead. She suggested organising a protest meeting. He recommended us to visit the City Museum. “You could try the corner shop.” “If you are eating at Mario’s, try the squid.” The detective wouldn’t be able to relax until he caught the criminal. Such a journey has not been possible since the invention of the jet engine. There isn’t any place where you can escape timetables. Bad manners infuriate me. My boyfriend loves Italian food. People who don’t leave a tip get on my nerves. A bird learns to say hello or goodbye. It is likely to use one as the other. A study of higher animals reveals language systems. None of these systems is creative in the way human language is. The man tried to say something. The people around him did not understand him. People are unwilling to spend a lot of money. They will always spend a lot of money if they think they are getting a “bargain.” Pushy shop-assistants are unpopular. They always sell more than their colleagues. British people are often dissatisfied with the products they

You aren’t allowed to smoke on the tube. The fact that he will never race again is something he cannot accept. I could tell by the tone of his voice how serious the situation was. You should make an effort to get out and about more. Let’s invite the Marshalls to a barbecue on Sunday. It was overeating which caused his heart attack. Alternative medicine is a complete mystery to some people. “Why don’t you think about how you’re going to play the character?”, the hynotherapist suggested to Annie. The government have been reviewing their immigration policy for some time. “I’m in a bit of a hurry, but I’ll ring you tomorrow,” he said. I find it surprising that she didn’t like her present. She discovered eight new comets in the course of her work. The police have never arrived on our doorstep in the middle of the night before. My hair has never fallen out in handfuls before! The gas explosion blew out all the shop windows. A thief picked my pocket on the tube. They laid a new carpet yesterday. They’re fitting the windows tomorrow. We had double glazing put in by the builders. They are not allowed to smoke in my classroom. They’ll all want to stay the night if we don’t ask them to leave now. She managed to walk around the room with a little encouragement from me. I never thought of going to Iceland for my holidays. His holiday insurance scheme failed through lack of support. It poured down all day. It seems likely the company will fold. I hope my remarks haven’t upset you. There are some people who didn’t agree with the decision. The decorators have finished the whole of the first floor. It is difficult to know what one’s reaction would have been in such a situation. The children are in disgrace for being so badly behaved.

My car has never broken down on a motorway before. The storm completely wiped out all my crops. The regiment’s reputation was greatly damaged by his outrageous conduct. The ships were hardly visible through the thick fog. We are unaminous regarding the formation of a new alliance. The disagreement is a lot of fuss about nothing. A government official leaked the story to the world press. It was with great reluctance that they came to our aid. Organic vegetables are said to be very healthy. If you hadn’t been speeding, the police wouldn’t have stopped you. It is essential that no one is told about our plans. It was wrong of you not to call the doctor at once. He stood no chance of passing his exams. I’m sure he missed the eleven o’clock train. I’m annoyed with you for not phoning me to say you’d be late. I hardly think she will agree to giving you a pay rise. The house has got everything except a large garden. I’m afraid to say that we haven’t got any oil left. The film is similar to Shakespeare’s Hamlet in a number of ways. In all probability we will finish the project on Thursday. He knows he shouldn’t have said those terrible things. I have to admit I’m a chain smoker. I can’t stand the way he falls asleep in the middle of dinner. Oh dear! I didn’t realice it was so cheap. They were seasoned travellers, which we had not expected them to be. Unfortunately, he hasn’t phoned for days. The police arrived as the thieves were committing the crime. We don’t seem to have much sugar left. He celebrated his birthday last Saturday. They lost not only their money but their passports as well. Bad weather delayed the flight. They arrived at their destination alive and kicking. Travellers consider themselves superior to those who lead a more sedentary life. You’d be wasting your time trying to make him change his mind. She earns money from her paintings. My impression of him was that he was a very capable person. It is her father who is Italian. They believe the senator is well over seventy.

They will not officially declare independence until next year. He’s always ready to be of assistance, when we’re busy on the farm. Every time he opens his mouth, he says something tactless. Experts say that the fall in the birth rate will cause the drop in the number of school leavers. They feel that the forecasters are doing an unsatisfactory job. He’s tried as hard as he can. They have narrowed the many applicants down to three. They disapprove of smoking in this restaurant. When she sold the jewellery at such a low price, she was cheated. We’d been thinking about helping them for some time. Under no circumstances would I have missed the concert. You’ll just have to take a chance! I can’t understand why you didn’t come and see me earlier. She wouldn’t have been upset if you hadn’t lied about your past. Many school leavers speak English inadequately. Although the papers claim that they are going to get divorced, they are not. His memory gradually failed as he grew old. Vitamin intake and intelligence are not connected. During exam time he always revised all night. He can’t be at home. He promised he would phone as soon as he got back. Why didn’t you tell me about the party? You know I like going to parties! What a shame we didn’t go by air! Think of the saving in time! A successful interview means that you will be offered a job. It’s a pity that the TV packed up. We can’t watch the football now! Provided that you leave a forwarding address, we will be able to contact you. Whenever he felt depressed, he went for a long walk across the hills. Many species of wild life are threatened with extinction. Pandas need a special diet without which they perish. He liked the new job straight away. We would like a copy of your new prospectus.
