Travelling by plane and by train Travelling

A

Joanne went on holiday to France last summer. She started planning well in advance. First she decided on her destination – Paris.Then she looked at all the flight schedules and the train timetables. The plane was faster, so she booked a single ticket. She didn’t buy a return ticket because she didn’t know when she was coming back. She checked in online, printed her boarding pass and then just dropped off her checked baggage at the airport. She was very careful because airlines charge a lot for overweight baggage. Then she boarded the plane and waited for take off.

Sure. How much would you like to spend on it?

Those jeans are great. They are superb!

This shirt is too tight for me. I am well built. Do you have a bigger one?

I’m looking for a short skirt in a dark colour.

This is extra large. I’m quite short and not too fat, just average in weight. Have you got a smaller size?

16

You’re right. It doesn’t fit. Do you need small or medium?

Try this on. You’ve got long dark hair and big brown eyes. I think a long skirt in a light colour would suit you better. You’re tall enough to wear it.

Looking for a job

John has been job hunting for several months.

The other day he saw a job advert in the newspaper. He decided to apply for the job.

John sent his CV and a covering letter. He also sent details of two referees: one of his university lecturers and his first boss.

The company invited John to come to a job interview. There were several applicants.

The interviewer asked him lots of questions and gave him information about the salary.

Now John earns a low wage working in a bar. He is quite lucky, though. Some of his workmates are working for an hourly rate.

Theatre actors work hard. They go to auditions. When they get a part, they have to learn their lines. They rehearse the different scenes many times. The day before the play opens, they have the dress rehearsal, when they wear their costumes for the first time. On the opening night they go on stage and play their part in front of the audience. Some people like to listen to music or watch TV in the comfort of their homes. Others prefer to go out for the evening. They go to a live performance or see a play in the theatre. In the interval, a lot of people have a drink or walk around. A good audience will applaud at the end of the show as the actors bow, but sometimes, if the actors are really bad, people boo.
