Listen to a police officer interviewing a woman about a robbery.

Please sit down, Mrs. Davis.

As you know, I'm here to ask questions about the robbery.

What happened?

Well, yesterday, at about 3 o 'clock, two men came to my house.

One was tall and blonde, with a mustache, about 30 years old, and the other was quite short with dark hair.

He was probably about 20.

And what happened?

They said they were from the water company and

that they wanted to check the quality of the water of all the houses on the street.

Did you ask for identification?

Yes I did, and they showed me their ID cards.

They seemed okay.

What happened next?

I went into the kitchen and the tall man followed me.

He was there for about 5 minutes.

Where was the other man?

Well, I thought he was outside because he opened and closed the front door.

The tall man didn't stay long.

But after they left, I looked in my bag and my wallet wasn't there.

How much money did you have?

I think I had about $50.

Did they take your credit cards?

No, they didn't.

They were in another bag.

Did they take anything else?

I don't think so.

Okay.

Well, thank you very much, Mrs. Davis.

Thank you.

Part 4.

Listen to 5 people talking about where they live and take notes.

Well, I have two homes.

I have a big apartment in the center of Paris and a little cottage in the south of the country.

I live and work in the city, and I go to my cottage for holidays.

100

It's very small, just a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom.

101

But it's a great place to relax.

102

It's next to the sea and there aren't any noisy neighbors.

103

I bought this apartment because it's across from the hospital so I can walk to work.

104

There are five rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room, a study, and a bedroom.

105

I love the living room because it has a great view of the city.

106

Oh, and another good thing about my apartment is the garage because it's really difficult to park on the street here.

107

When I was a child, my parents had a big old house in Connecticut it.

108

There were six rooms downstairs and eight bedrooms upstairs, but only two bathrooms.

109

And it was always really cold, there was no central heating system, and the fireplaces weren't very good.

110

Well, this is Browning Street, but I don't know which house is Anna's.

111

I can't remember the number, it's four or five.

112

And is the door blue or green?

113

Okay, well, this is number four and the door is red.

114

Let's try number five that has a green door.

115

Okay.

116

Lisa, Jennifer, hello, you're late.

117

Come on in.

118

My favorite room?

119

Hmm, that's difficult.

120

I like all the rooms in my house.

121

The bathroom is lovely because it's really clean and modern.

122

And I love relaxing in the living room.

123

I bought some really comfortable armchairs, but I think my favorite is the kitchen.

124

It has a big table and it's really nice to sit in there and have meals with all the family.

125

We have a dining room, but we hardly ever use that.

126

Choose the correct answer.

127

Let's get started.

128

Thank you.

129

130

Listen to two friends doing a magazine quiz and take notes.

131

132

One of your magazines.

133

Oh, let's do this food quiz.

134

Okay.

135

Fruit juice is better for you than milk.

136

True or false?

137

that's true

138

because milk has more calories fruit juice is better you're wrong fruit juice is bad for your teeth

141

142

and the u .s no in canada people eat more fruit

143

and vegetables so they get more vitamins and in the U .S they have more salt in their diets, and salt is really bad for you.

144

145

I love salty food.

146

Next question.

147

You eat more in winter.

148

True or false?

149

True.

150

I eat when I'm cold and I always put on 5 or 10 pounds during winter.

151

Well, it says here that you don't eat more in winter, but you don't go out much when the weather's cold.

152

People are heavier in winter because they don't exercise.

153

Ask me another.

154

True or false.

155

Short fat French fries are better than long thin French fries.

156

Of course, they are.

157

They're much tastier.

158

I mean, they're better for your health.

159

Yes, I know you're talking about health.

160

And the answer is it's true because long thin fries have more oil on them.

161

Correct.

162

How much longer is this quiz?

I'm hungry.

164

This is the final question.

165

Chocolate is good for you.

166

Well, I love chocolate, but I don't think it's good for my health.

167

There's a lot of sugar in it and a lot of calories.

168

Yes, but the magazine says that some scientists found out

169

that eating a little chocolate each day helps people to relax and feel happier.

170

Where are you going?

171

To the kitchen to get a bar of chocolate.
