Hello Robert,

Thanks for inviting me to dinner. I’d love to come. I don’t eat meat and I can’t eat food with milk in it because it makes me sick. I hope that’s not too much trouble!

Kate

• Kate doesn’t want dinner because she feels too sick.

• Robert must buy meat and milk for dinner.

• Robert may need to prepare special food for Kate.

• If you buy something that’s too big, you can’t bring it back.

• There isn’t anywhere for customers to try on clothes here.

• The sale will end soon, so you should buy clothes soon.

• The heating may not come on every morning.

• Don’t try to turn on the heating between 10am and 4pm.

Paul,

There’s still a little petrol in the car, so you won’t need to get any more until you reach Benton, where you can buy it cheaply.

Sally

• There is still some of the cheap petrol that Sally bought in the car.

• Paul should buy more petrol before he gets to Benton.

• There is enough petrol in the car to get to a cheap petrol station.

We did lots of team sports at school, like football, volleyball and hockey. But I’m not very fast or strong, so I couldn’t hit or kick a ball hard. Often, members of my team laughed at me, and so I stopped playing sports as soon as I could because it upset me. But later I learned that you can get exercise without other people around. Now I sometimes go cycling, swimming and running, but always on my own. Then no-one can get mad at me when I’m slow!

I used to do every sport I could when I was at school. I loved the exercise, and I also liked being a member of a team. We had some great times together. We travelled to matches by bus, and had parties when we won. Then I was in a terrible car accident three years ago, and I hurt my leg. It still isn’t better. It’s made me really unhappy. The only sport I can do is fishing, and that’s so boring! But a friend of mine has suggesting going sailing. It sounds fun, so I think I’ll try that.

I don’t mind team sports. I’m quite good at baseball and cricket, but I prefer doing sports when there aren’t lots of other people making noise, laughing and telling jokes. That’s why I like surfing. It’s just me and the sea and a few other people who also like quiet, beautiful places. I think I would enjoy horse-riding and skiing too, for the same reason, but those sports are expensive. I already spend a lot travelling to different beaches with my board.
