[00:15.36]When you have decided what they did,tick the correct number in the list.
[00:22.20]1.I hate going there,but I’d run out of things to wear and,
[00:28.87]to be honest,some of my clothes were a bit-well,
[00:33.54]you know,so I thought I’d better have some clean shirts before work on Monday.
[00:39.50]2.It’s not something I normally do but I just felt like a bit of fresh air
[00:49.76]and it was a nice summer’s evening and quite a few shops were open so,
[00:55.22]yes,it was really nice.
[00:58.67]3.Not much really.I was quite tired when I got in from work,
[01:09.02]so I just got myself something to eat and then wrote a couple of letters,
[01:14.61]read a bit,watched a bit of TV and before I knew it,it was nearly midnight.
[01:20.85]4.Sorry I couldn’t ring you last night,
[01:29.50]but Wednesdays are my evenings for Art History.
[01:33.96]It’s something I’ve always been interesting in,
[01:38.32]so I thought I’d try this ten-week course that the university’s running this autumn.
[01:44.39]2 While you listen While you listen The Worst Disco in Town!
[02:00.24]Hey,Rose,there’s a letter for you.

[02:09.75]I didn’t even hear you come in-and I went to bed after one.
[02:14.61]I did,actually,I went and met some old friends from college that I hadn’t seen for ages.
[02:21.77]Oh,did you?That must’ve been nice.
[02:26.81]Yes,we had a drink and chat and caught up with all the gossip.
[02:32.45]You know what it’s like. UH-huh.
[02:36.81]Then we had something to eat and then another drink n
[02:41.99]and then we ended up going on to this awful disco in town.
[02:47.34]Oh,did you?Which one?Not Stardust.No,surely not Stardust?
[02:55.70]I’m afraid it was,actually-and it was really terrible,
[03:00.85]just full of kids and the music was so loud I could hardly hear myself think.
[03:07.22]It was like being back at school all over again.
[03:12.47]Kids of fourteen acting as if they were eighteen!
[03:17.64]I could’ve told you that!

[03:27.26]acting all macho,an asked me to dance!
[03:32.11]I bet hadn’t even started shaving! And did you?
[03:37.76]What?Dance with him?Of course I did!Then I told him I was thirty-five!
[03:44.91]You’re so cruel!
[03:48.47]Well,I just figured it was better he found out sooner rather than later that I was old enough to be his mum!
[03:55.42]I thought you were supposed to be there talking to old friends.
[04:00.46]I was,but there was so much noise,you couldn’t really have a proper conversation.
[04:07.12]And then to top it all.I missed the last train home
[04:12.71]and had to get a cab and didn’t get in until three!
[04:17.67]Didn’t you?You must be feeling exhausted this morning,then.
[04:23.92]Yeah,I could do with another hour or two in bed,that’s for sure.
[04:29.37]Anyway,what about you?How was your night?
