Additional Listening A Conversation

Are You Calling About the Party?

Listen to the conversation and answer the following questions. Laura: Hello. This is Laura David speaking.

Simon: Oh, hello, Laura. This is Simon here, Simon Williams.

Laura: Oh, Simon. How nice to hear from you. Are you calling about the party? You did get the invitation, didn't you?

Simon: Yes, thanks, I did. That's just it, I'm afraid. You see, I'm already tied up that evening. Laura: Oh, really? That's a pity.

Simon: Yes. I'm afraid it's been planned for ages. You see, some friends of mine are coming from Scotland to see me. I haven't seen them for a long time, and you know? well? I managed to get some tickets for the opera, and I promised to take them out to dinner afterwards. I can't get out of it, unfortunately. I wish I could.

Laura: Oh, what a shame! We were looking forward to seeing you. Still, if you drop in later with your friends, we'd love to see you.

Simon: Thanks. Well, I'll certainly try, but I don't think there's much chance. Actually I've sent you an e-mail to say that I can't come.

Laura: Oh, have you? That's very kind, thanks. Well, keep in touch, Simon.

Simon: I will. Regards to James. And I hope the party goes well. Bye! Laura: Thanks. Bye. Part D
