THOMAS: Where have you been, Nadia?
NADIA: Browsing in the bookshop.
THOMAS: What took you so long? You said you were only going to be away 5 minutes.
NADIA: I was only gone for a quarter of an hour. Nadia said she was away for a quarter of an hour so the correct answer is B. fifteen minutes. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
THOMAS: Where have you been, Nadia?
NADIA: Browsing in the bookshop.
THOMAS: What took you so long? You said you were only going to be away 5 minutes.
NADIA: I was only gone for a quarter of an hour.
THOMAS: Well, it seemed much longer than that. Did you buy anything?
NADIA: I was tempted to get the latest novel by Dan Brown but it’s quite heavy and I’d have to carry it around with me. If I could have found a crossword puzzle book, I’d have bought it; but in the end I was attracted to a front-page article in today’s issue of the New York Times.
THOMAS: Is that all you bought then?
NADIA: Yes. Look, why don’t you read the business section while I catch up on the news and then we can swap.
THOMAS: I’d rather have the entertainment section.
NADIA: Are you looking for anything in particular?
THOMAS: I just thought they might have a review in there of that new play that opened on Broadway yesterday.
NADIA: The drama about that awfully cruel pirate?
THOMAS: Oh, I’d forgotten about that, mom, I wonder how good it is...actually I was thinking of the new comedy...the one about...the physician.
NADIA: Doctor Hunter.
THOMAS: That’s the one.
NADIA: Well, when I was in the bookshop I overheard a couple talking about it and they said it was fantastic— not in the least bit boring. They especially liked the actor who played the main part--very smooth, apparently.
THOMAS: Lots of fun, then?
NADIA: Well, according to those two they thought it was hilarious.
THOMAS: Ooh, we’ll have to make a point of seeing it when we get back.
NADIA: Definitely.
THOMAS: We didn’t have time for breakfast and I’m hungry. Do you fancy a coffee and a muffin?
NADIA: Sounds like a good idea.
THOMAS: And how will you have your coffee today? Long and black as usual?
NADIA: I think I might have something different this morning.
THOMAS: What? You don’t mean a flat white or some other milky one?
NADIA: Oh, I don’t know, I want something to perk me up.
THOMAS: An espresso? Short and black with sugar?
NADIA: Perfect!
THOMAS: Will that be with a chocolate muffin or a berry muffin?
NADIA: I’ll try to stay off chocolate the berry sounds healthier.
THOMAS: And I’ll have a plain one with butter. Won’t be long...
