We haven't seen each others for a long time, it is it?Grumble is not a new word for me but the use of it make me alarm to use it again.
I can say 'Hello, It's been a long time ago when I saw you last time. 'What are you doing now?' 'Where have you been such a long time you disappeared.'
'I really miss you, I'm really glad to see you again'
That's great website and that's great lesson!
This is real accent, conversation.....here I can improve my real English!
Thanks British Council

Hello abbas.azhar25,
The sentences in the task describe the questions that the man and woman ask each other. For example, where the task says 'The woman asks about the man's job', this corresponds to the following in the transcript:
The task is to put the descriptions of the topics in the conversation in the same order as they are in the transcript.
All the best,
