Transcript  10 Daisy Oh no!
1 ‘We won’t be back until late tonight!’ shouted my dad, George Yeah! I’d locked the door, but I was left
as my parents walked out of the front door. ‘And don’t holding the top part of the key while the bottom part
forget to take the dog for a walk.’ My parents climbed was stuck inside the lock. I couldn’t believe it …
into their car and drove away. ‘Brilliant!’ I thought.
Now I could do whatever I wanted. An hour later, I Reading
wandered downstairs on my way to check the letter

box, which was just outside the front door. There was

Boris, our huge, not too bright Saint Bernard dog
standing at the bottom of the stairs. Ignoring Boris, I 2 B
opened the front door, stepped outside and opened 3 A
the letter box. 4 C
Bang! 5 B
The door behind me banged shut. Boris, thinking I
was about to go for a walk, had followed me, bumped
into the half-opened door and caused it to slam shut.
I was locked out, in my pyjamas. And, as far as I
knew, while Boris had accidentally mastered the art
of closing the front door, the chances of him learning
to open it any time soon seemed remote.

Danny Have you seen the YouTube clip where
the thief threatens the shopkeeper with a knife and
asks for money, but instead of giving him any, the
shopkeeper runs to the door and locks it?
Ellie Yeah. I’ve seen that. The thief can’t find
the key anywhere, and the shopkeeper laughs at
him, saying he won’t get out until the police arrive.
Danny Yeah. And the last thing you see is the
police banging at the door.
Ellie There’s another clip, taken from a CCTV
camera, that’s just as good … a thief climbs on to the
roof of a store, somewhere in America, … smashes a
hole in the roof, then jumps into the store. He seems
to be only interested in taking cash from the till, and
smashes it open. Then you see him banging on the
door, but it’s locked and made of reinforced glass –
you know, super-strong glass.
Danny Of course it is. A lot of them are in
America. Why wouldn’t he have thought of that?
Ellie I know! Anyway, then you see him trying
to climb back through the roof, but of course it’s too
high. The police arrest him in the end!
3
George Did I tell you about the time I got locked
out of my boss’s house?
Daisy No. What happened?
George Well, my boss let me stay in her house
while she was away. I moved in late on a Sunday
evening, picking up the key from her neighbours.
Next morning, as I left the house, I closed the door
behind me, put the key in the lock and turned it. I’d
been told to make sure that the house was locked.
The key felt stiff in the lock so I turned it a bit more,
applying a bit of force, and then to my horror, it
snapped.

Jenny Well, the weekends are a time for families in
Britain, as they are in most places, I guess. Often
Vocabulary parents are not at work, having worked a five-day
3 week from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays, many
1 d families head for the shops. City centres are crowded
2 a and car parks are packed at the big out-of-town
3 a shopping malls.
4 b Tom That sounds boring. Do they go shopping on
5 c Sunday as well as Saturday?
6 b Jenny Well, Sundays used to be different to other days
of the week. Most shops were closed and most
4
people were at home. Popular leisure activities on

Sunday used to be doing jobs around the home such

as washing the car and DIY. They were both much

more popular than they are these days. But the law

Jenny Well, sports and hobbies make up a large part 6 I hadn’t been late for the interview, I would have got
of what people do in their free time, as you’d imagine, the job.
but unlike many other countries in Europe, the telly 7 Being unable to get a ticket for the match,
comes out top of the list when you look at the
statistics and analyse which leisure activity is the
most common. I guess it’s fair to say that the British
love football, cooking and gardening, but they prefer
sitting on the sofa watching other people doing these
activities to actually doing any of them themselves!
Tom That’s funny. I thought fewer people would be
watching TV now that there are so many other things
they can do – you know, digital technology, mobile
phones and such like?
Jenny Well, I’d have thought that would be the case
too, but the statistics show that TV is still popular.
Tom I know that football plays a major role in the
sporting life of Britain. No matter where you live in the
world you must have heard of teams like Manchester
United. I guess it’s by far the biggest sport.
Jenny Well, yes, it’s incredibly popular, and at
weekends lots of people are glued to their mobiles
checking up on the latest scores. And, of course,
most stadiums are full every week. Not only that, but
almost two million people take part in a football
match at the weekend.
Tom Two million? That’s a lot.
Jenny It is, but interestingly, other sports such as
swimming and running have even more participants. I
guess going for a swim is easier to do than playing in
a match.
Tom True. It’s also something people of all ages can do.
Anyway, thanks for your views. Next time I have to
write an essay about the UK, I’ll give you a call.

4 On the first day of my summer job last year, I got
chased by an enormous dog which pulled the bag I
was carrying off my shoulder. I kept running, I can tell
you. Despite all that, though, I’d really recommend
delivering free newspapers to people’s houses as a
great part-time job. I got lots of exercise, for a start,
and I had some control over when I started, although
I did have to be back at the shop by ten. So, on some
days I went round as fast as I could, and on other
days, I took my time. Most days, I had finished my
round before breakfast, so I had the whole day to do
whatever I liked.
