♫ Exercise 4. Say [l]. Listen, and practise this comentary on a guided tour.
Ladies and gentlemen, on your left you will see Lumley Castle. This belongs to Lord
and Lady Lumley, who live here with their family. All the land on the left of the road
belongs to the Lumleys. They have a famous collection of wild animals, including lions,
so please do not leave the coach until we are safely inside the car park. We are lucky;
Lord Lumley is allowing us to leave the grounds and go inside this beautiful stately
home. Most people can only look at the castle from outside. The time now is quarter to
eleven. Please return to the coach by quarter past twelve. Don’t be late, or we’ll miss
lunch.
♫ Exercise 5. Say [r]. Listen, and practise this conversation at a hotel reception desk.
A: Good evening. My name is Bridget Rees. I’ve got a room reserved.
B: Oh Ms Rees. We thought you were coming tomorrow. We have reserved a room for
you tomorrow night.
A:
Tomorrow night? But I wrote to you. I made the arrangements by phone. Then I
wrote and confirmed the reservation.
B: Don’t worry. I’m sure there is a room free tonight… Yes, Room 3 is free. Would you
sign the register, and I’ll ring for the porter. He’ll carry your cases to your room.
A:
Could you go and post this letter, please?
В: I can’t go out. It's snowing, and I've got a cold.
A:
Blow your nose, and put your coat on. You’ll be OK.
В: I’ll get frozen.
A: Only if you go slowly. Walk quickly.
B: I can’t walk quickly. The ground is frozen. It’s like the South Pole.
A: Oh, stop moaning. I’ll go.
