Boy 2: Good idea. My dad says he’ll fix my bike next weekend.

5 What might Harry do if it rains on Saturday?

Woman: Now, I want to tell you about a new school music club. It’ll begin on the fifteenth of September and there will be classes once a week until December the eighteenth.
Let me check the day … Because there’s the sports club on Wednesdays, the music club will be on Thursdays.
It’ll be after school. Your last lessons finish at ten to four and you can have a break before the music club because it starts at twenty past four and ends at five o’clock.
Here’s some information about the teacher. His name’s Mr. Taylor. I’ll spell that for you T-A-Y-L-O-R. You don’t know him because he’s new.
If your parents would like to phone him, he’s happy for me to give you his phone number. It’s zero-double seven-nine, three-eight-six, five-two-one.
Oh, you need to know where to go for the club. It’s going to be in the library. Use the doors next to the art room because the other doors won’t be open then.

Luis: Charlotte! I’ve got the computer game called Green Space.
Charlotte: Where did you find out about it, Luis?
Luis: I borrowed a magazine from a schoolfriend and there was an ad for it. I asked my mum and she bought it for me from their website.
Charlotte: I really like that game. It’s not new, but it’s my favorite game because it isn’t easy. I play it a lot, which is strange because it’s not funny at all! Who are you going to play it with?
Luis: Well, my brother’s too busy studying, and my cousin Amy only likes board games. But my granddad has lots of time, so I want to play with him. How long do you usually play it for?
Charlotte: When I was sick last Wednesday, I played for an hour and a half. Then, on Friday, an hour. And on Saturday, three quarters of an hour! Which part do you like best?
Luis: Crossing the river’s really good, but the bit I enjoy most is finding something to eat. The part about building a hut’s my least favorite.
