2. Helen’s kitchen

H e l e n. And this is the kitchen.

B o b. It’s very nice.

H e l e n. Well, it’s not very big, but there are a lot of cupboards. And there’s a

new fridge, and a cooker. That’s new, too.

B o b. But what’s in all these cupboards?

H e l e n. Well, not a lot. There are some cups, but there aren’t any plates. And I

have some knives and forks, but I don’t have any spoons!

B o b. Do you have any glasses?

H e l e n. No. Sorry.

B o b. Never mind. We can drink this champagne from those cups! Cheers!

W o o d y. I’m an actor. What’s your job?

A l e s s a n d r a. I work in a hotel.

W o o d y. You aren’t English, but you speak English very well. Where do

A l e s s a n d r a. I’m Italian. I come from Verona.

W o o d y. Oh, I love Italy.

A l e s s a n d r a. Really?

W o o d y. Oh, yes. I like the food and the wine very much.

C r a i g. I’m glad they’re coming in August. We can take the dog and go for

walks together.

C a r o l. Yes. And we can give a garden party.

C r a i g. And Margaret can play her guitar in the garden and sing Greek songs

again.

C a r o l. Yes. August is a good time to come to England.

5. At the butcher’s shop

B u t c h e r.Good morning, Mrs Church.

M r s C h u r c h. Good morning, Mr Cheshire. I’d like some chops for the

children’s lunch.

B u t c h e r. Chump chops or shoulder chops, Mrs Church?

M r s C h u r c h. I’ll have four shoulder chops, and I want a small chicken.

B u t c h e r. Would you like to choose a chicken, Mrs Church?

M r s C h u r c h. Which one is cheaper?

B u t c h e r. This one’s the cheapest. It’s a delicious chicken.

M r s C h u r c h. How much is all that? I haven’t got cash. Can I pay by

cheque?

B u t c h e r. Of course, Mrs Church.

M r s M a r s h. Does this shop sell washing machines?

M r S h a w. Yes. This is the newest washing machine, madam.

M r s M a r s h. Is it Swedish?

M r S h a w. No, madam. It’s English.

M r s M a r s h. Please show me how it washes.

M r S h a w. Shall I give you a demonstration? Here are some sheets and

shirts. You put them in the machine. You shut the door. And

you push this button.

M r s M a r s h. The machine shouldn’t shake like that, should it?

M r S h a w. Washing machines always shake, madam. Ah! It’s finished

now.

M r s M a r s h. But the sheets have shrunk, and so have the shirts.

M r S h a w. Do you wish to buy this machine, madam?

M r s M a r s h. I’m not sure.
