Unit 1 Knowing me, knowing you

Using language

7 Listen to three conversations and match them to the pictures.

Conversation 1

Tina: Hi Kerry, have you got a minute?

Kerry: Yeah, sure, Tina. What's up?

Tina: Well, the thing is, I've got to leave my flat next week, but my new place won't be ready until next month. Could I stay at your place for a while?

Kerry: You mean for a couple of days?

Tina: Er... not exactly. For a month.

Kerry: A month? I'm afraid one month is just too long.

Tina: Oh, come on, please..

Kerry: I'm sorry, but my room is just too small for two people. You' re welcome to stay for a few days, though.

Conversation 2

Mike: Hello Ryan! Just the person I wanted to see!

Ryan: Hi Mike. How's it going?

Mike: I'm having a party at my house on Saturday. You'll come, won't you?

Ryan: On Saturday? I'd love to, but I'm visiting my cousin in New York on Monday, and I have to spend the weekend preparing for the trip.

Mike: That's too bad. I'm sorry you'll miss it.

Ryan: Yes, I'm sorry, too. Next time, OK?

Conversation 3

Jane: Becky, have you done your project yet?

Becky: Hi Jane. You mean the one that's due tomorrow?

Jane: Yes, that's the one.

Becky: Of course I have. Haven't you finished yours yet?

Jane: No, I haven't. The thing is, I've been really busy and... Well, I was just wondering if you could let me see your project, just to give me some ideas, you know...

Becky: I'm not sure... It would be better to do your project by yourself.

Jane: I promise I won't copy it or anything like that.

Becky: I'm sorry, Jane, it just doesn't feel right. I'd be happy to talk about your project with you, though, if you need my help.
