Harry: “Campaign to save local shops”
Bindyu: Yes, they put my article on the front page of the newspaper...
Harry: “Historic buildings threatened by new development”
Bindyu: I feel like a real journalist now!
Olivia: It must make a change from writing about interior design...
Bindyu: Oh, yes...
Sarah: Let’s have a look...
Harry: Great photo as well – look, you can see my banner on the front of the café!
Sarah: “We have discovered that Tony’s Café and the shoe shop threatened with demolition are actually historic buildings...” Erm, it was really me and my friend who discovered that, Bindyu, not you...
Bindyu: Yes, you’re right, but what’s important is that now they can’t close the café...!
Olivia: Or my shop....
Bindyu: Exactly!
Sarah: I guess you’re right... “We have found exclusive information which shows that the company building the new flats – who want to demolish the historic buildings to make more space – know they should not demolish the buildings...” Hang on! The building company already know! How did you find that out?
Bindyu: It’s an exclusive! A scoop!
Sarah: But how did you find that information?
Bindyu: That’s a secret!
Olivia: Go on, tell us!
Bindyu: A good journalist never reveals her sources!
Sarah: Go on, tell us!
Bindyu: Magda told me!
Magda: Hello everyone!
Olivia: Talk of the devil...
Magda: Sorry? Devil?
Olivia: Magda, I’m sorry... it’s just an expression...
Magda: What does it mean?
Olivia: If you’re talking about somebody, and then they appear, you say: “Talk of the devil...”
Magda: Oh. I see. And why were you talking about me?
Olivia: You gave some important information to Bindyu...
Magda: Well, yes, it’s true – I did find out some interesting information. It’s my new job – I work for that company, you know...
Olivia: Yeah. I was surprised you found that confidential information!
Magda: But I didn’t think you’d write about it, Bindyu!
Bindyu: Don’t worry – I didn’t mention your name anywhere! This is good journalism...
Magda: I guess so, but... if my employers find out I gave information to you, I could be in trouble! I might lose my job!
Olivia: Oh no...
Bindyu: Don’t worry, Magda. No one will know, and our campaign will be successful...
Magda: OK
Harry: Yeah – you watch – there’s no way they can close the café now!
Olivia: I hope you’re right...
Sarah: Oh!
Magda: Wow!
Harry: Hey!
Olivia: Hi!!
Bindyu: Erm, who’s this?
All: Johnny!!!
Johnny: Hi!!!
Olivia: Welcome back!
Harry: Good to see you, man!
Johnny: Good to see you all again! I’m back!!

Hi LET,
G' Day
I just found this website two days back I'm very excited about it ,it contained stuff that I've been looking for to bring my English to the next level, I think my biggest problems in English Language would be understanding native speaker of English when they're talking . they normally will sort of compressed all the words together thus made their pronunciations slightly weird and they speak fast too.. i felt i can understand American English much easier than British English why as such?.. any suggestions or quick fix on this ? anyway my Boss is Britishman...
thanks
Hello Adam
This website is very useful and I have learnt a lot from it. But I have a question about the use of it. It is just that I don't know whether the learner can find his all comments in this website through his own account. I'm wondering if you could response for it.
Best Regards
yu
hi, I have a question with the hope of having an answer. Is here in this website possible help for students who are studying English language in the intermediate level or upper-inter mediate or even advanced level?
