Interlocutor: Thank you. In the next part, you're going to talk to each other. I'm going to describe a
situation to you: a friend of yours is planning to spend six months in England to
improve her English. Talk together about the things she will need in England and
decide which are the most important things to bring with her. Here is a picture with
some ideas to help you. (Okay) I'll say that again: a friend of yours is planning to spend
six months in England to improve her English. Talk together about the things she will
need in England and decide which are the most important things to bring with her.
Alright? Talk together.
Both: Okay
Eva: Er…my friend Alicia is coming from Spain for six month (sic) because she need er to
improve her English, yes?
Bertha: Uh-huh.
Eva: So what do you think that he ... he has to bring with her?
Bertha: Hmmm, I think she has to bring er…a lot of money and maps and the tourist guide
because I remember when I come here in London for the first time I spent a lot of
money in transport, in buying the maps and it was very useful to have the ...the map
because you have to move to all London to find a job, to find a place to sleep, an
accommodation. So I think it's the most important. And also the...the clothes
(pronounced: clo-this) because it's very cold here. And it's raining.
Eva: So, the most important things is bring a lot of money and with money you can do everything!
Bertha: Everything, yeah. But if you can bring this stuff from Spain, it's better for her.
Eva: Uh-huh.
Bertha: Sure.
Part 3
In this picture I can see a girl. I think she is a student. She looks very busy. I think she is doing her homework. Perhaps she is
preparing for a test. Her room is not tidy. The bin is full and the books are scattered all over the place. The television is on. In
the background on the wall, I can see some paintings. She is sitting on her bed and I can see pillows. I think she likes teddy
bears. There is one in front of the TV table. There is a beautiful table cloth which covers the table on which there is a TV. She is
wearing trousers and a blue shirt. She is very smart looking and is wearing black shoes with high heels. She is very busy. The
floor is covered with a carpet. On the TV screen I can see a man feeding a horse. The horse is white in colour. On the television
I can see some picture frames. There are many books on the floor. On the bed I can see a white bedsheet.
Example 2
In this picture I can see a girl. I think she is a student. She is sitting in front of her computer and thinking. May be
she is doing her homework. There are some papers and books on the computer table. The lamp is on and perhaps
it’s night time. To her left I can see a coffee mug. In the background I can a couple of picture frames. She is wearing
blue trousers with flowers on it. Her shirt is pink in colour. She wears spectacles and she is holding them in her right
hand. I can see the keyboard and the mouse on the computer tray that slides in and out. She looks quite organized.
In the background I can also see a white curtain.In this picture I can see a girl. I think she is a student. She is sitting

Part4
Interlocutor: Your photographs showed people with letters. Now I'd like you to talk together about
the type of letters you like to write or receive and other ways you keep in contact
with people.
Eva: Okay. When I was in Spain, I..I I didn't used to to write letters.
Bertha: Me neither.
Eva: I use the computer always, always. But when I arrived at London my friends sent me
every week one letter. So I have to…to ask them. So maybe monthly I write one
letter for...for my friends.
Bertha: Yeah, for me the same. I didn't…I didn't used to write letters because I'm so lazy to
write the letter, buy the .. the stamps and go to the post office. But here in London er
because I miss a lot my friends and my family I used to write letters, emails, call to
my parents all the weeks and my friends. So, yeah, I I think it's a good idea because
the people lose the the um ...use
Eva: The habit
Bertha: The habit of write letters because you know internet is easier, it's faster (Quickly),
Yeah, but I think that you miss a lot of…feeling if you write on the computer. I think
it's good to see the the letter of the other person and you write more sincerely. I
think, I enjoy, I enjoy when I receive a letter from my parents or my (Yes) my friends
because you see the letter and you know that this paper, your friend touched this
paper. I don't know (Yes) how to explain the…
Eva: You feel better…
Bertha: Yeah you feel
Eva: ...when you receive a letter.
Bertha: Yeah, sometimes it's good when you receive, you need to you receive notice about
your (Uh-huh) your friends and your family and it's better a letter than a call or an
email.
Eva: I prefer the email because it's quickly and in London I haven't...I don't have so many
time to write letters.
Bertha: Yeah, it's true. Yeah, maybe the email is the best form to keep in touch with the
people you...
Eva: Because every day you use the computer so in five minutes you can write to your
friend so if you, if you have to write a letter you need more time.
Bertha: Yeah now with the technology, it's very easy to keep in touch. Now, the computers
can have a camera (Yes) and you can see the person. It's very …it's very nice to see
a person that you know is so far (Uh-huh) and you can speak face to face.
Eva: Yes. And the mobile is the best way….
Bertha: Yeah, with the message
Eva: Nowadays. Yes
Bertha: It's very...
