Term 4. Transcript for listening task
When the workers and the removal van leave, Maria talks to Andreas.
Maria: How could they forget the crockery? Now we don't have anything to eat with!
Andreas: Calm down, honey. Why don't we ask our neighbours to lend us some plates, knives, forks, spoons and cups?
Maria: Good thinking! It will give us an opportunity to introduce ourselves!
Andreas: You know what; let's have a house-warming party this Saturday! We can invite all our neighbours.
Maria: That's a great idea!
They walk to the neighbour's house and ring the bell. A woman opens the door.
Maria: Hi! We're the Fernandez family. We're from next-door! My name is Maria.
Betty: Oh hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Betty.
Andreas: Nice to meet you too, Betty. I'm Andreas.
Maria: Betty, do you have some spare crockery?
Betty: Sure, I do. Do you need some?
Maria: Yes, please! The removal company forgot ours!
Betty: Sure, no problem! Just a second.
She goes inside and comes back with a box full of crockery.
Maria: That's so nice, thank you! Betty, would you like to come to our house-warming party this Saturday?
Betty: Sure, what time?
Maria: Around three in the afternoon.
Betty: Can I bring something? A salad may be?
Maria: Yes, please! That's so nice, thank you!
