| 1 ‘I’m going out now, but I’ll be in by nine,’ he said. (Omit now.) 2 ‘I’m working in a restaurant, and don’t much care for it,’ she said. 3 ‘I can’t live on my basic salary,’ said Peter. ‘I’ll have to offer to do overtime.’ 4 ‘My young brother wants to be a tax inspector,’ said Mary. ‘I can’t think why. None of my family has ever been a tax inspector.’ 5 ‘We’re waiting for the school bus,’ said the children. ‘It’s late again.’ 6 ‘I’ve made a terrible mistake!’ said Peter. ‘You’re always making terrible mistakes,’ I said. ‘You should be used to it by now.’ 7 ‘We make £450 a week,’ said one of the men, ‘and send most of it home to our wives.’ 8 ‘It’s lonely being away from our families,’ said another, ‘but we earn three times as much in this factory as we would in our own country.’ 9 ‘We’ve been here for two and a half years,’ said the man who had spoken first, ‘and we’re going to stay another six months.’ 10 ‘I’ve got a job on an oil-rig,’ said Paul. ‘That’ll be very hard work,’ I said. ‘I know it’ll be hard,’ he replied, ‘but I don’t mind hard work, and it’ll be a good experience 11 ‘The ice will soon be hard enough to skate on,’ said Тоm. ‘I’ll look for my skates when I get home,’ Ann said. 12 ‘I’m living with my parents at present,’ she said, ‘but I hope to have a flat of my own soon.’ 13 ‘I’m leaving tomorrow,’ she said, ‘by the 4.30 from Victoria.’ ‘We’ll come and see you off,’ we said. 14 ‘I’ve just bought a car,’ said Peter, ‘but it’s not insured yet so I can’t take you for a drive.’ 15 ‘I’d like to speak to Susan,’ said Mary, ‘but I’m bathing the babies and they will drown if I leave them alone in the bath while I go to the phone.’ 16 Mary has just received a postcard from Ann, beginning, ‘I’m coming up to London next week. I hope you and Jack will meet me for lunch one day.’ (Imagine that Mary is reading this card to Jack. Begin: Ann says . . .) 17 ‘Nothing ever happens in the village,’ she said. ‘It’s like a dead village. All the young people have drifted away to the towns.’ 18 ‘I’ve missed my train,’ said Bill. ‘Now I’ll be late for work and my boss will be furious.’ 19 ‘We’ll wait for you if you’re late,’ they said. 20 ‘They are supposed to be landing at London airport,’ I said. ‘But if the fog gets any thicker the plane may be diverted.’ 21 ‘If you lend me the chainsaw,’ said Mary, ‘I’ll bring it back the day after tomorrow.’ 22 ‘I hate getting up on dark mornings,’ grumbled Peter. ‘It is horrible,’ agreed his wife, ‘but the mornings will be lighter soon and then it won’t be quite so bad.’ 23 ‘The sales are starting tomorrow,’ said the typist. ‘As soon as we finish work the whole typing pool is going to make a dash for the shops.’ ‘I hope you’ll all get what you want,’ I said. 24 ‘I wish I had something to eat,’ said Peter. ‘You’ve only just had lunch,’ said his sister. ‘I don’t know how you can be hungry again so soon.’ 25 ‘If you’re short of money I can lend you £50,’ said my aunt, ‘and you can take your time about paying it back.’ 26 ‘I usually take my dog out for a walk when I come home from work,’ he said. 27 ‘I have a message for your brother,’ I said. ‘He isn’t at home,’ said Ann. ‘He left two days ago.’ 28 ‘I bought this bag in Milan,’ I said. ‘You shouldn’t have bought that colour,’ said Peter. ‘It doesn’t go with your coat.’ 29 ‘I must hurry. My father is always furious if any of us are late for meals,’ she said. 30 ‘If you want to smoke you’ll have to go upstairs,’ said the bus conductor. |
