    [ TONE/BEEP ]

    [ FIVE SECOND PAUSE ]

    (Voices: Usual Brown family members. Dan is a middle aged man.)

    Sophie: (sound of car driving) Where are we going Dad?

    Mr Brown: To my friend’s house, Sophie. His name’s Dan. Dan Smith.

    Sophie: (a little confused) Is he that old man with white hair and glasses?

    Mr Brown: No Sophie. He’s got glasses but his hair is black. He’s not very old.

    Sophie: Has he got any children?

    Mr Brown: Yes, three. Two girls and a boy but I can’t remember all their names.

    The boy’s name is Colin I think. And there’s Angie … (thinking) No I

    can’t remember.

    Sophie: What about their mum? Mrs Smith?

    Mr Brown: Mrs Smith? Well, her name’s Eva. I’ve got a photo of her at home. In

    the photo, she’s got long blonde hair and she’s wearing shorts and a

    T-shirt. But that’s a very old photo. She’s different now – she’s not

    young and her hair is short.

    Sophie: Dad, have Dan and Eva got a big house?


    Mr Brown: Yes. They’ve got a lot of money. They’ve got three houses. A big one

    in London and a small one at the beach. They’ve got one in America

    too.

    Sophie: Are we going to the house at the beach?

    Mr Brown: No, to the one in London.

    Sophie: Is there a pool in the garden?

    Mr Brown: No, the garden’s small with flowers in it. But you can play in the

    park – there are swings there.

    Sophie: Great! And I can play computer games with Ben too. (pause)

    (checking) Have Dan and Eva got a computer?

    Mr Brown: Yes, three. Colin’s got one, the girls have got one and Dan and Eva

    have got one too.

    Sophie: That’s great.

    Mr Brown: Oh, and Sophie, Dan and Eva have got a dog too. His name’s Rex.

    Sophie: What about cats or hamsters?

    Mr Brown: Well, they’ve got a little bird.

    Sophie: (disappointed) That’s not very interesting. (more positive) How old

    is Rex, Dad. Ten like me?

    Mr Brown: No, he’s only three, sorry four. He’s very friendly.

    Sophie: Good. We can take him to the park.

    Mr Brown: Oh look, we’re there – that’s Dan’s car over there.

    Sophie: The big, white one?

    Mr Brown: No, the black one. The small white one is Eva’s. She doesn’t like big

    cars. (fade)

    You will now hear the conversation again.

    Task Two: Presents for the Brown Family

    When the Browns arrive at Dan’s house, Dan gives them all presents. Listen to
    the conversation and draw a line from the name of the person to the picture of
    their present. The first one is an example. Be careful. There is one extra
    picture.

    You will hear the conversation twice.

    Listen carefully.

    [ TONE/BEEP ]

    [ FIVE SECOND PAUSE ]

    DAN: Come into the living room everyone. This is a happy day for me so

    I’ve got some presents for you.

    (sound of excited chatter)

    BEN: That’s fantastic. What have I got?

    DAN: Wait Ben. Let’s do Jack first. (pause) This is for Jack. It’s a ball. He

    can play with it in the park later. (pause) And this is for you Sophie.

    SOPHIE: Is it a box of chocolates? I love chocolates.

    DAN: Open it Sophie. (sound of present being unwrapped)

    SOPHIE: Oh great! It’s a book – a book about cats. Cats are my favourite

    animals. Thank you Dan.

    BEN: (enthusiastically) Is it me now?

    DAN: Yes Ben. It’s you now. This is for you.

    BEN: (sound of present being unwrapped) I think it’s a jacket. (sound of

    present continuing to be unwrapped) No, it’s a football shirt – and

    it’s got a number on the front. Thanks Dan. Can I put it on now?

    DAN: Sure Ben. (pause) And now it’s your turn Anna.

    ANNA: OK. Is it a T-shirt, Dan?

    DAN: Open it and see.


    ANNA: Oh, it’s beautiful Dan. Look Mum – a beautiful dress with flowers on

    it. It’s fantastic.

    DAN: Do you like it Anna?

    ANNA: Oh yes.

    DAN: Here you are Tom. This is for you. It’s a shirt. Not for football – just

    a white shirt. Is it OK?

    MR BROWN: Of course Dan. Thank you very much.

    DAN: And Liz. These are for your new hobby.

    MRS BROWN: Tennis? What are they? Tennis balls?

    DAN: Open the box and look.

    MRS BROWN: (sound of present being unwrapped) Oh, new trainers, and just right

    for me – not big and not small. Thank you Dan.

    DAN: Now Tom. Take these two presents for Grandpa and Grandma.

    (pause) Now, these chocolates are for Grandpa. He loves chocolates.

    I know that.

    MR BROWN: Yes, you’re right Dan.

    DAN: And this is for Grandma.

    MR BROWN: It’s a big box. Is it a television?

    DAN: No. It’s a small tree. It’s for the house – not for the garden. Don’t

    open it now but be careful with it. And say hello to Grandpa and

    Grandma for us. (fade)

    You will now hear the conversation again.
