Can I take a message?[03:40.16]Female: Could you tell him that my mother is arriving on Thursday? At about 1 p.m.[03:45.31]Male: Right, Mrs. Adams. I'll do that. Where are you, in case he wants to ring you?[03:51.00]Female: I'm not at home. The number here is 773 3298. [03:57.27]Male: (repeating the number) 773 3298. Thank you. Goodbye. [04:04.51]Conversation 3:[04:08.63]Female: 575 4661. Who's calling, please? [04:15.58]Male: This is Mr. Jones from the Daily Star. I'd like to talk to Mr.Henderson.[04:20.21]Female: Sorry, I'm afraid he isn't in. Can I take a message?[04:23.55]Male: Yes... Please tell him that the advertisement will definitely be in Friday's paper. That's Friday, the 13th of thismonth.[04:30.73]Female: Certainly, Mr. Jones. What's the phone number, in case he has forgotten.[04:36.06]Male: My number? (astounded) The number of the Daily Star?[04:40.06]Everyone knows it. (chanting) 123 4567. [04:45.05]Female: (laughing and repeating) 1-2-3 4-5-6-7. Thank you,Mr. Jones.[04:54.66]B. Shopping: [04:59.02]Shopkeeper: Yes, Mrs. Davies? What could we do for you today?[05:02.16]Mrs. Davies: I want to order some foods.[05:03.86]Shopkeeper: Well, I thought that might be the reason you came here, Mrs. Davies. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.[05:07.25]Mrs. Davies: But I want rather a lot, so you'll have to deliver it. [05:10.75]Shopkeeper: That's perfectly all right. You just order whatever you like and we'll send it straight round to your house this afternoon.[05:17.15]Mrs. Davies: Right. Well, first of all I want two boxes of baked beans. [05:22.06]Shopkeeper: You mean two tins?[]Mrs. Davies: No, I mean two boxes. Two boxes of tins of baked beans.[05:2]Shopkeeper: But each box contains forty-eight tins. Are you really sure you want so many? I mean, it would take a long time to eat so many.[]Mrs. Davies: Who said anything about eating them? I'm saving them. [05:39.70]Shopkeeper: Saving them?[05:40.77]Mrs. Davies: Yes, for the war.[05:42.23]Shopkeeper: War? Are we going to have a war?[05:44.01]Mrs. Davies: You never know. I'm not taking any chances. I read the papers. You're not going to catch me stuck in the house without a thing to eat.[05:52.13]So put down two boxes of baked beans,will you?[05:56.08]And three boxes of rice,[05:58.58]five boxes of spaghetti and you'd better send me a hundred tins of tomato sauce to go with it. Have you got that?[06:06.58]Shopkeeper: Yes, two boxes of baked beans, three boxes of rice,five boxes of spaghetti and a hundred tins of tomato sauce.[06:13.89]But I'm not sure we have all these things in stock. I mean not that amount.[06:17.76]Mrs. Davies: How soon can you get them, then?[06:]Shopkeeper: Well, within the next few days. I don't suppose you'll be needing them before then, will you?[06:18.51]Mrs. Davies: You never can tell. It's touch and go. I was watching the nice man on the television last night.[06:25.27]You know, the one with the nice teeth. Lovely smile he's got. [06:29.77]And he said, 'Well, you never can tell.' And that set me thinking, you see. [06:35.30]Anyway, you just deliver them as soon as you can. I shan't be going out again after today. [06:41.02]Now ... now what else? Ah yes, tea and sugar.[06:45.91]I'd better have a couple of boxes of each of those.[06:49.17]No ... no make if four of sugar. I've got a sweet tooth. [06:52.94]Shopkeeper: So two boxes of tea and four boxes of sugar. Anything else? [06:56.75]It doesn't sound a very interesting diet. How about half a dozen boxes of tinned fish? [07:02.08]Mrs. Davies: Fish? No, can't stand fish. Oh, but that reminds me,eight boxes of cat food. [0]Shopkeeper: Cat food?[]Mrs. Davies: Yes. Not for me. You don't think I'm going to sit there on my own, do you?[07:18.20]Section Three:[07:20.73]Spot Dictation.[07:22.72]Spot Dictation 1: [07:26.66]A (sailor) once went into (a pub.) in a very dark street in (Liverpool).[07:32.51]He got (very drunk) there and staggered out (around 1 1 p.m.).[07:38.65]Around (midnight), one of his friends found him (on his hands and knees) in the gutter.[07:42.88]"What are you doing (there)?" he inquired. "Vm looking for (my wallet).[07:47.17]I think I lost it in that dark street (down there)," he said.[07:50.82]"Well, if you lost it (in that street), why are you looking for it (here)?" the friend (demanded).[07:55.42]The sailor thought for a moment. Because (the light) is better here," he answered. [08:02.87]Spot Dictation 2:[08:06.50]A famous (855)-year-old (millionaire) once gave a lecture at (an American university).[08:12.51]"Ym going to tell you how to live (a long, healthy life) and how to get (very rich at the same time)," he announced.[08:18.51]"The (secret) is very (simple)." "All you have to do is (avoid bad habits) like (drinking) and (smoking).[08:25.57]But you have to (get up early) every morning, (work) at least (10 hours) a day and (save every) penny, as well," he said.[08:33.27]A young man in (the audience) stood up. "My father did (all those things) and yet he died (a very poor man) at the age of only (39).[08:40.85]How do you (explain that)?" he asked. The millionaire thought (for a moment).
