Selling the Car

Tom: I'll try advertising our car in the paper. We can
probably get more money ifwe sell it privately
than ifwe put it in part-
exchangefor a new one.

Lyn: Then we'll have all
the bother ofpeople
phoning up and
wanting to see the
car.

Tom: IfI get the price I

expect, it will be
worth a little bit of
inconvenience.

A Street in London

This street in Soho, London, is connected with many
famous companies, studios, agents and production
firms all concerned with film making. It is, in fact, the
centre of the British film industry, and the name is
therefore often used when talking about films in the
same way as Hollywood in the USA.

What is the name ofthis street?

A Film Sketch ?•

This twenty-minute long sketch from the 1920s played
for television by the English comedian Freddie Frin-
ton as the butler and May Warden as his old mistress
is shown on German television every year on New
Year's Eve. The mistress of the house celebrates her
birthday every year although all of her guests have
long been dead. Her butler is supposed to stand in for
all of them when a toast is being given. At the end of
the evening the butler is of course not quite himself.

I IWhat is the name ofthis famous sketch?

The Morning Newspaper

Lyn: The paper boy must have been halfasleep this
Tom: morning. He put three newspapers into the
letter-box.
Lyn: That probably
means two people
at the end ofhis
round didn 't get a
paper at all.
Perhaps he had
packed too many
in his bag and
had to get rid
o f some.

In the Travel Agency

Tom drops into a travel agency to pick up some
leaflets on holidays. While he is in there, he notices
that they offer various
video tapes so that people
can see their prospective
holiday resorts in the
comfort of their own
home. Tom decides to
take a few tapes home
with him. He has to leave
a deposit which will be
returned when he brings
back the tapes.

Holiday Brochures

Lyn: These holiday brochures are rather difficult

to understand. There are all these different

coloured sections

fo r different times ~
ofthe year.

Tom: Let me have a look.

It can't be that

complicated.

Lyn: You can have a look,

but you know that

it's always me who

ends up having to

book the holidays.

A Favour

Lyn's neighbour asks if Lyn could do her a favour and
pick up her son from school. She has an appointment
which she must keep, and
her son would have a
rather long walk if he was
not picked up by car. Lyn
says that she would be
glad to do this, as she has
to do some shopping in a
department store which is
close to the school.

Buying a Camera

Tom: I'm looking/or an automatic camera which
is not too expensive.

Salesman: This one, for
example, is very
reasonable. It
does everything
that this other
model does, but
it is almost£ 50
cheaper. The com-
pany has brought
out a newly de-
signed model.

From 1857 to 1861 he was a pilot on the Mississippi

An English County

This county lies in the East Midlands of England.
There are many old castles, windmills, ruins of mon-
asteries and picturesque villages which have hardly
changed in the last century. The town which gives the
county its name is famous for its cathedral with three
towers, standing on a hill beside the castle built by
William the Conqueror in 1068. Isaac Newton, who
discovered the law of gravity, was one of the famous
people who came from this county.

A Fishing Trip

Pete and Sue are .going on a fishing trip for the week-
end with some friends. None of them take angling
seriously. There is a sort of friendly competition
between them as to who can catch the most fish.
When the fish
have been count-
ed, a few are kept
for eating, but
most are thrown
back into the
water again.

house and also gives
some to her neighbour
Lorna who isn't very
lucky with her attempts
at gardening.

A Jumper

Sue has started to knit a jumper for her husband. It is
meant to be a surprise so she only knits when he isn't
at home. She has chosen
green Shetland wool as
that is Pete's favourite
colour. She hasn't knitted
anything for a few years
and only manages a few
rows at a time. With that
speed she reckons to be
finished by Christmas!

A Decorator and Architect

This American painter, decorator and architect
founded a very successful interior decorating firm in
1881 which was famous above all for its highly distinc-
tive glass vases and lamps. Most of his architectural
work has been destroyed, but the loggia of Laurelton
Hall, his masterpiece, has been installed in the Metro-
politan Museum.

Today people still make lamps, which bear his name,
using coloured glass inserted into a wire framework.

A City in Scotland

This city in the south-west of Scotland has somehow
gained a bad reputation for its slums, especially the
Gorbals, after the decline of the shipbuilding industry
for which it used to be famous. However, in the last
decades there has been a great deal done to improve
the city's appearance. The dirt has been sand-blasted
from the lovely sandstone buildings to show some
very interesting architecture.

Since this city was Europe's City ofCulture in 1990,
it shouldn't be difficult to guess its name.

A British Painter

This British painter was born in Dublin of English
parents and came to London in 1925, setting up for
a while as an interior decorator. He had no formal,
training as a painter. He destroyed much of his early
work and dropped out of sight until 1945, when his
"Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Cruci-
fixion", painted the previous year, was exhibited at
the Lefevre Gallery and made him overnight the
most controversial painter in post-war England.

What is the name ofthis artist who was considered,
by many critics, the ''greatest living painter"?

Driving on the Continent

Tom: It takes some time getting used to driving on the
other side ofthe road.

Lyn: It's just as well it's a
dual carriageway and
motorway here. It
would be more diffi-
cult on a normal road.

Tom: Look ahead, there's
a toll-gate. We have
to go to the manned
gate as we have no
French coins to put
into the machine.

An Evening With Friends

Back home again, Tom and Lyn invite a few friends
around to their house to try out some of the wines
and cheeses which they
brought back from
France. They tell their
friends how pleasant it
is just to drive around
and forget about work
for a few days. Every-
one agrees that they
should try and do
something like that
more often.

reformer formed a company in 1861 to make high
quality furniture, fabrics, carpets and other things. His
ideas of art and design were based on the medieval
guild. As a socialist he wanted to produce art for the
masses, but his hand-made products were so expen-
sive that only the rich could afford them.

A Diet

Sue had a shock when she stood on the bathroom
scales. She has put on quite a bit of weight in the last
few weeks and decides to
go on a diet immediately.
As her husband Pete is
also a bit overweight she
intends persuading him to
diet as well. It is always
easier when two people
lose weight together since
the temptation to eat isn't
as great then.
