Video and Questions [1 exercises]

What do you have for breakfast? A hearty breakfast with bacon, eggs and toast? A sweet breakfast with
croissants, fruit and coffee?
An energizing breakfast with cereal and fruit rich in vitamins? A dietary breakfast with just an apple . . .
And a glass of milk? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
It gives you lots of energy. You can do anything after a good breakfast! But by the end of the morning
your stomach starts to rumble. It's not long till lunchtime.
'Hmm . . . what should I have? A mixed salad? A hot dog? Hamburger and fries? A typically French onion
soup? Why not? I haven't got any meetings this afternoon.'
Perhaps you'd prefer to eat seafood . . . Shrimp . . . Lobster or crab? Or even enjoy some fresh fish . . .
In Italy they like pasta. And they do eat a lot of it! But since it comes in all shapes and colors, you never
get tired of it.
How about having an exotic specialty? Tandoori chicken? Or some chili con carne? Watch out for the
spices . . . They make for an explosive mixture!
Ever thought of trying Japanese cooking? Like sushi, which is made from raw fish . . . and plain, boiled
rice. Makes you want to try some!
What about French food, ever tried it? France is the home of gastronomy. Refined dishes, varied sauces,
vintage wines . . . Crusty and soft bread . . . Not to mention the cheeses!
Whatever your tastes, one thing is certain - nobody likes being deprived of dessert! Whether it be a
raspberry tart, mmm . . . A delicious chocolate cake, mmm . . . A key lime pie, mmm . . .
Or vanilla ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream. Mmm! Mmm! But like all good things . . .
Don't overdo it!

1 Put the words from the text in the corresponding categories.

I wouldn't have known I had appendicitis if I hadn't gone to see the doctor. I wouldn't have gone if I
hadn't had such a bad pain in my side. I would have taken the plane and I would have left for Hawaii
without knowing there was anything wrong. If I hadn't wanted to make sure everything was all right, I
probably would have ended up in a Hawaiian hospital and I would have spent a fortune in medical bills!
But if I hadn't got sick, I wouldn't be here in the hospital, I'd be on the beach!

2 Put the words from the text in the corresponding categories.

I went to the doctor's the other day to have a checkup. He told me I was getting fat and that I needed to
get some tests done to check my cholesterol levels. He said I was eating too much sugar and fatty
foods and I wasn't being careful enough. I told him I was watching my weight but he still put me on a
diet and now I am not allowed to eat anything anymore.

Dialogue: Expression [1 exercises]

1 You are back in France where you have just started your own business. Your first American clients
show up and order some of your products. You are now talking about payment:
How will you be paying for this? 2
I'll need a deposit for this. 3
I imagine you won't be paying in cash? No! We don't want to carry that 3
much money around!

2 What do you prefer?

You can charge it if you like. 3
You can do a bank transfer. 3
You can always pay in cash, of course! 4

3 How do people usually pay in France?

Just like in any other country! Yes, that was a silly question! 5
Some businesses prefer bank transfers. That seems a bit complicated. 4
They usually write checks. It's the same in the United States. 4

4 What about credit cards?

They're used quite a bit. 5
They're probably the handiest. Except when you lose them! 5
Personally, that's what I prefer. 5

5 Do you know what the exchange rate is?

About 0.98 euros to the dollar. 6
You'd better find out from a bank. 6
It was 0.98 euros to the dollar last week. 6

6 I think we'll pay by credit card.

That suits me just fine. 7
No problem. 7
That's probably the easiest. 7

© Copyright 2003-2004 Auralog S.A. All rights reserved Page 65/68

 7 But wait a minute! You haven't even told us how much it is altogether!
You've got the invoice right in front of you. Sorry, I didn't see it! 8
Didn't we give you the prices? Oh, yes, they're right here with your 9
catalog.
Let me get the invoice. Take your time! 8

8 But that's pretty expensive! Didn't you say you would lower the prices?
I never said that! 11
I never said such a thing! I'm not quite sure about that! 11
These are already bargain prices! I'm not so sure about that! 10

9 Oh! That's much cheaper than we thought!

You don't often get surprises like that, do you? No, you don't! 13
Yes, the prices have just gone down. They usually go up! 13
It's a special offer. Oh, thank you! 13

10 Could we pay in several installments?

I'm sorry, you have to pay the full amount now. 13
Not more than three, and within three months. 12
We would prefer payment in full. 13

11 We can't afford this!

I thought you knew the prices! I did! But there was a zero missing 13
from the figure!
Then let's not waste any more time! Fine. I'll take my money elsewhere!
I'm sorry, I can't lower the prices. We'll take only half of the 13
merchandise, then.

12 What happens if there's a delay?

You'll be charged interest. 13
You'll get a letter asking you to pay. 13
We'll call you and remind you! I'm sure you will! 13

13 We'll send you the installments, don't worry!

We'll send you the receipt as proof of payment. Great. Thank you for your help and 14
goodbye!
By the due date? Of course! 14
We like to think we can trust our customers! You can trust us! Goodbye. 14

 14 A few weeks later, your secretary comes in:
Have we received the payment from the States? No, they haven't paid! I've just sent 15
them a reminder.
Has the payment come in from the States? Yes, it has. 15
Did we get the bank transfer from the States? Yes, but I had to remind them twice! 15

15 By the way, sir. Is this your wallet? I found it on the floor.

Yes, it is. How can I thank you? Well, I haven't had a raise in quite a
while!
I must have a hole in my pocket! Or one in your head!
I'd lose my head, too, if it weren't attached! Don't worry. I'd find it and put it
back on your shoulders!

'Philly Phones, this is Nadia, how may I help you?'

'Hi Nadia, could you please tell me where I have to go to pay my phone bill? I'm in the center city area.'
'Yes, you have to pay at 411 Chestnut Street. It's right on the corner, beside the post office. We're open
daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.'
'Are you open on Saturdays?'
'No, only from Monday to Friday, not on the weekend. If you can't come during the week, there is a mail
slot next to the main entrance where you can drop off your payment.'
'But I'm supposed to pay by Friday!'
'In that case, sir, you had better get it in the mail slot before 5 p.m. on Friday if you don't want to pay a
late fee. Have a nice day!'

2 Put the words from the text in the corresponding categories.

My electricity bill is really overdue. I now owe more than two hundred dollars. I haven't paid in over four
months and have already received three warnings. The first time I told them I hadn't received the bill,
the second time I said I had lost it and the third time I claimed an initial payment of one hundred dollars
was in the mail. They warned me that there wouldn't be a fourth time, so now I am sitting here in the
dark.
