Questions 19—22
M: Hello, this is Peter Smith’s speaking.
W: Hello, Peter. Betty’s speaking. I’m calling about the open-door concert in London. Will it still be held this Sunday as is scheduled. It’s been so cold that I haven’t been outside for a week. I do hate the cold.
M: Yes, it’s best to stay indoors in such beastly weather. But I’m afraid I have no idea about the oncoming concert. You noticed your new neighbors who have arrived at NO. 35 though, surely. Perhaps they knew something.
W: Well, I called on them yesterday. They seemed such nice people at first. But now, I’m not so sure.
M: Really? Why?
W: Well, they’re from London. And they think it’s the only place in the world worth talking about.
The wife made some very catty remarks about this area.
M: Londoners always think they are better than other people. But I always find them less cultured. What’s she look like?
W: Quite young and pretty. But she does wear a lot of makeup. And she certainly dyes her hair. Perhaps, she isn’t as young as she looks.
M: Anyway, I don’t want to mix with people like that. Because I knew they would be snobs when I saw their huge car. Surely, they don’t need such a big one.
W: No…Still…My husband says it’s 4 years old. And probably cost less than ours second hand. And ours is certainly as fast as theirs. Besides, it uses so much petrol. You can hardly afford to run it.
