Task 1. A Problem

Task 1

Woman: Do you want to go out one evening this week?
Man: Sure. Are you free on Friday night?
Woman: Actually, no. My cousin is coming to visit me.
Man: How about Thursday then? I have to work late on Wednesday.
Woman: Okay. Where shall we go? Shall we go out to dinner?
Man: I don’t have a lot of money at the moment. We could just meet at a bar for a drink, or you could come round to my place, and watch a DVD.
Woman: No, let’s go out. I know a great place called ‘The Orange Tree’. You can get two meals for six pounds on week nights.
Man: Two meals for six pounds? That’s very cheap! Okay, let’s eat out there then. Where is it?
Woman: Do you know Church Road?
Man: Yes, I used to go to music lessons in Love Lane. It’s just around the corner from Church Road.
Woman: Well, The Orange Tree is on Potter Street. You go up Church Road and turn left near the bakery.
Man: Okay. I’m sure I can find it. What time shall we meet up? Seven o’clock?
Woman: Well, I’ll probably take the bus into town. The six-forty bus gets into town at ten past seven. I can get to The Orange Tree by twenty past.
Man: That’s fine. Hey, can I bring a friend?
Woman: Sure. Anyone I know?
Man: My friend Charlie. He works at the sports centre.
Woman: Yes, I think I met him at Anna’s party a few months ago. He likes skiing, doesn’t he?
Man: That’s right.
Woman: Sure, well bring him along. It will be nice to see him again.
Man: And Charlie’s got a car, so he’ll be able to take you home at the end of the evening.
Woman: Oh that would be good. I don’t like taking the bus late at night, and taxis are very expensive.
Man: Well, I’ll see you later this week then.
Woman: See you!
