Unit 3, Script 5 to exercise 1.0:01
Listen to the dialogues and answer the questions.0:07
Dialogue 1 hello, I'm Robert Taylor.0:11
I work for the Neighbour, our local newspaper.0:16
It's me who called your office and asked you to come over.0:24
Well, I understand that you're opening a new boutique and want me to write about it.0:28
Yes, Robert, that would be a very good advertisement for our shop.0:33
I hope that a lot of people in the neighbourhood will learn about it from your newspaper.0:38
Well, may I look at the shop and ask you some questions?0:43
You see, it's quite a small place, but it's cosy.0:49
This is our main shopping area.0:54
We've put the racks with ready made clothes closer to the walls and left the middle of the room empty.0:57
It gives the customers more space.1:03
Are you going to sell only clothes here?1:06
In the two smaller rooms on both sides of the main area.1:10
We're going to sell perfume and underwear.1:14
But Kate, there are other shops of this kind in the street and a big store round the corner.1:17
Yes, but this one will be different.1:23
We're going to sell only elegant and expensive things here.1:26
It's going to be an exquisite boutique for an exclusive public.1:30
It's Saturday today and we're here to discuss the question of wearing a uniform as a must in our school.1:40
Our principal and the teaching staff would like our opinion on the matter.1:47
What's your point of view, Bob?1:53
I don't think it's a good idea when everyone wears the same clothes.1:55
You look like everybody does and you can't express your individuality.1:59
Would you agree, Celia?2:04
Certainly it is boring to wear the same things every day.2:08
And the uniform doesn't usually create any cheerful atmosphere in the classroom as the clothes are usually of dull grey, blue or brown.2:11
But the uniform helps discipline and unites us.2:19
We have a feeling of belonging, of sharing something with the others.2:22
You may be right here, Celia, but tastes stiffer.2:26
Your uniform, it's cut in color, won't necessarily be becoming and you'll have to wear the same thing you don't like, even hate for many years.2:30
Yes, Bob, that's a disadvantage and we'll have to accept it.2:39
But the advantage is obvious.2:43
We won't envy those who have something very smart and stylish.2:46
Now don't argue, just listen to me.2:50
Don't you think it would be a good idea to find out what the others think through an opinion poll.2:55
I'd like to open an account at this branch.3:08
What kind of account would you like?3:11
Every savings account holder gets a 5% interest yearly.3:17
I'd Advise Visa or MasterCard.3:23
That suits me very well.3:27
May I ask you a few questions?3:30
This is what I'm here for to answer your questions.3:33
How much money must I pay in to open the account?3:38
A mere token sum, five or ten pounds.3:42
Can I arrange for some payments to be made straight from my account?3:47
I'd like to pay for my university education through my bank account.3:52
Nothing could be easier.3:57
We'll see to it as soon as we have completed some formalities.3:58
May I ask you to fill out this form and sign it?4:03
Name, address, occupation.4:09
And here is £10 as my initial payment.4:14
We'll send you your card as soon as it's ready.4:19
Usually takes about a week or a little longer.4:23
We also send our account holders their statements every month for you to know your balance.4:27
I'll be expecting to hear from you soon.4:34

I am interested in your car.4:56

Ford Mustang, One of the most popular makes on the market.5:10
How long have you had it?5:15
Oh, I've had it for a few years.5:17

I don't drive it now.5:22
Yes, but when exactly was it made?5:24
In 1995, but I've looked after it very well.5:27
I think it's in a pretty good condition.5:32
How much do you want for that?5:35
£4,000 and it's a bargain.5:37
The car is all in good working order.5:41
I would like to have a look at the car.5:46
