Man: Our company noticed that many people serve food in plastic bowls or on plastic plates. This increases the amount of rubbish people produce. That’s why we’ve prepared this new type of dish made from natural materials. You can put your food on it and after lunch just eat your plate. It tastes really good. What’s more, if you buy our products, you won’t need a dishwasher. This will surely save you a lot of money and protect the environment.

Boy: Mum, guess what, there’s an exhibition of some modern paintings at the main entrance here. I think you’ll love them.

Woman: Oh, great ! I’m going there tomorrow to get some clothes for Molly, so I will have a look. Have you bought all the things I put on the list?

Boy: Almost. I just have to find some yoghurt and something to drink. By the way, I’ll be a bit late. I’ve got to stop by the cinema to get some
tickets for tomorrow.

Woman: OK, but be quick. You know I need the food to prepare some supper.

Boy: Sure!

Woman: A Californian company has invented a Dream Headband that can let you change what you do in your dreams and remember them. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get rid of your bad dreams. The headband can only help you change what’s going to happen in your dreams. In the future, the company would like to make it possible to record your dreams and to let you see them on your computer screen. Are you interested?

Peter: Sandra, your birthday is coming up. How are you going to celebrate it?

Sandra: At home with my friends.

Peter: Are you going to invite all of them?

Sandra: Of course. You are also invited! I’m going to make some delicious food for the party.

Peter: Will you use that new recipe you told me about yesterday?

Sandra: Well, that one is too complicated. I’ll cook something I’ve already done before. At least I know it’s tasty. By the way, will you help me with the balloons and some confetti?

Peter: Sure, no problem.
