Unit 5.7 Exercise 1 Page 146 Speaker A @ the beach this year, I decided to try out a new brand of sunscreen.0:01
It said on the bottle that one application would last all day.0:15
I thought it would save a lot of trouble reapplying the stuff all the time, but by the time I left the beach I was bright red.0:20
I mean, you just take it for granted that a product will do what the manufacturer promises.0:29
That's the last time I take such a claim at face value.0:34
Speaker B Moving into a new area recently, I asked my next door neighbor what day the council came to collect recycled rubbish.0:40
I put everything out on the street ready for collection on Tuesday morning, but was mystified to find the rubbish still there on Tuesday evening when I got back from work.0:51
The same thing happened the following week.1:00
When I called the council to demand an explanation, they politely told me that Pick up on my street was every Monday, not Tuesday.1:03
Speaker C I've always been of the opinion that hunting is wrong, so when they held a meeting in our village to protest about the way foxes are hunted, I made a point of attending.1:13
The person sitting next to me was a well dressed, proper looking gentleman and I couldn't resist sharing my opinion about what a cruel bloody sport fox hunting is.1:28
I must have ranted on to him for about 10 minutes when he interrupted me and said, actually, I'm here to support the hunt.1:40
Speaker D I was the secretary of our school science club and had invited an important physicist to speak at our annual dinner.1:50
The event was so popular that instead of going to our usual restaurant, I had to book the banqueting room in a hotel on the night.2:01
Everyone was waiting impatiently for the guest speaker to arrive.2:11
At first I thought he was just running late until I put my hand into my pocket and felt the envelope.2:15
In all the excitement, I had forgotten to send the letter explaining the new arrangements.2:23
Speaker E I was going to attend a charity dinner.2:31
As the day drew closer, I checked my invitation to be sure of the exact date and venue.2:36
The event was scheduled for the 15th of the month in two days time, but when I pulled into the car park that evening, there wasn't another car in sight.2:43
Looking at the invitation again, I realized I should have double checked the time.2:54
The dinner was to start at nine, not at seven, as my watch showed.2:59
Speaker F It was heartbreaking to see the wood outside our town burn down.3:06
Last year all those beautiful trees simply had to be replaced.3:12
We arranged a tree planting day to reforest the area I remember setting off with my friend Julie on the Sunday.3:17
No, actually, it was the Saturday morning.3:24
After we'd been planting trees for about two hours, I realised I should have bought gardening gloves with me.3:27
I had painful blisters all over my hands and the day had only just begun.3:34
