Brain Storming nyelvtanulási segédletei

(2014-ben egy általános iskola alkalmazottainak tartottam bevezető, teljesen kezdő angol tanfolyamot; 9 alkalommal, alkalmanként kb 2x60percben. Elősorban a legelemibb gyakorlati alapokra koncentráltam, és erőteljesen az egyszerű mondandók megfogalmazásának gyakorlása volt a cél.

415. It is Miss Stephens, isn't it?
416. Now where do you live, Sheila?
417. It's quite near you, actually.
418. Arthur felt even more unhappy.
419. What are you doing these days?
420. That wasn't difficult, was it?
421. So do I, if they're not burnt.
422. I'm just waiting for a friend.
423. Give me your hand first, dear.
424. Finally the great day arrived.
425. Why is he going round the back?
426. We'll have to say hello to her.
427. I'll drive you home if you like
428. And Bruce isn't my type anyway.
429. Didn't anybody sound the alarm?
430. No, it all happened so quickly.
431. You do realize that, don't you?
432. What do you want to drink then?
433. Yours faithfully, Arthur Newton
434. This afternoon's been terrible.
435. Come in, my dear, and sit down.
436. Now that's in the crystal ball.
437. Look here, your glass is empty.
438. Where's your wife, Mr Stephens?
439. I wonder if that Mary can cook.
440. Ah, there's the front door bell.
441. I want to look at these dresses.
442. Sheila. Shall I ask her for you?
443. You got a bargain there - ha-ha.
444. You mustn't look so sad, Arthur.
445. I'll tell you when we get there.
446. I'm completely broke this month.
447. Do you mean there was a robbery?
448. What happened then, Mr Smithers?
449. One double ticket, please, Bill.
450. Arthur couldn't dance very well.
451. Ah, this must be him coming now.
452. I passed those and three others.
453. I'm afraid I failed all of them.
454. Arthur said that he didn't know.
455. I see the television man's been.
456. He was well-known in Middleford.
457. Would you like to come this way?
458. No need to be offensive, Arthur.
459. Right, Mr Fanshawe, you're next.
460. Now, Arthur, what's the trouble?
461. In just under a month, actually.
462. Do you mind if I turn the Tv up?
463. Well, Mary, I think I'm for bed.
464. I don't know what you see in it.
465. That one over there by the door.
466. Come on, Arthur, we'd better go.
467. Arthur’s parents are still alive.
468. He got up and introduced himself.
469. Have you done any cooking before?
470. I've got to go into the bank now.
471. Er, the manager wants to see you.
472. Well, the money I've spent on it!
473. Well, what's the matter with her?
474. Here's your bacon and eggs, dear.
475. Oh, Mr Morgan, this is Mr Newton.
476. We've still got some places left.
477. After all, you have tried before.
478. I'll have a tomato juice, please.
479. Take your time; there's no hurry.
480. The audience clapped and cheered.
481. I've come to repair the TV set. …
482. Try not to bite on it if you can.
483. What's the matter with you today?
484. Well, I just can't understand it.
485. You've cheered me up quite a lot.
486. You said it'd be ready by Monday.
487. I must say it's rather difficult.
488. Well, I really must be going now.
489. I'll just see Arthur to the door.
490. After all, it is Sunday tomorrow.
491. That was a waste of money, I bet.
492. Is she still going out with Bruce?
493. Arthur did not follow this advice.
494. There was less than nothing in it.
495. Tickets can be bought at the door.
496. Look, there's a notice over there.
497. Yes, I did both of them at school.
498. He blushed and become embarrassed.
499. I've come for the television, sir.
500. Have you been to this chap before?
501. Arthur is actually the first here.
502. She's usually the first to arrive.
503. Oh all right, if you like, Arthur.
504. Would you mind if I came with you?
505. I'd better go and look after them.
506. Oh, have you got any tomato sauce?
507. Do you really like him then, dear?
508. Then they came to the ghost train.
509. You've got no brothers or sisters.
510. Arthur's going to miss my cooking.
511. He would like to be somewhere else.
512. There's nothing good anywhere else.
513. You can bring a friend if you like.
514. I'll have to have some money first.
515. I don't know that, did you, Arthur?
516. It's just past them on the right. …
517. What's the matter with you tonight?
518. He then got his job in the library.
519. I'm working in a library, actually.
520. I'll just see if Mr Morgan's free …
521. Why not take English and Economics?
522. Sparkol washes whiter and brighter.
523. I'm afraid that's the wrong answer.
524. I didn't expect him round so early.
525. I've got some chops for your lunch.
526. It was all about holidays in Spain.
527. I don't know what kind of building.
528. There are many uniformed men in it.
529. Arthur, don't talk to me like that!
530. Oh Mary, you know I didn't mean it.
531. He’s beaten Müller and he’s scored!
532. I suppose it could be my turn next.
533. Yes, I don't know how he'll manage.
534. By the way, what’s happened to Mary?
535. Is there anything you want me to do?
536. It's begining to look rather shabby.
537. Are you coming to the party, Arthur?
538. You'll have to buy another one soon.
539. This is a very nice party, isn't it?
540. Now where ought I to park, I wonder?
541. What are you going to do after that?
542. I'll try to be as quick as possible.
543. Yes, I noticed you hadn't got it on.
544. Yes, he came very quickly, actually.
545. Yes, I have, and so has Mr Smithers,
546. I'll go and sit in the waiting-room.
547. She was looking very pale and tired.
548. By the way, I saw Bruce on saturday.
549. Oh, I shouldn't worry if I were you.
550. I expect you're feeling a bit upset.
551. What would you like, Arthur? Sherry?
552. Oh, I understand - a broken romance.
553. C-can't you tell me about my future?
554. Dad, Moter, we've got something to …
555. Look, love, could it wait for a bit?
556. What other resolutions have you made?
557. Why dodn’t you give up smoking, Arty?
558. It’s probably for me. I’ll go myself.
559. Yes, I'm upstairs. Shall I come down?
560. I've cooked for myself lots of times.
561. Shall I make a cup of coffee for you?
562. I'm just going upstairs for a minute.
563. They're a bit expensive, aren't they?
564. I think your car's very nice, Arthur.
565. 'This is the last straw.' he thought.
566. I oughtn't to stay there all my life.
567. Well, thank you very much, Mr Morgan.
568. Anyway, he was very sweet afterwards.
569. You'll miss him if you don't come now
570. You've got your glasses, haven't you?
571. When do you think we'll have it back?
572. Oh dear, I hate having my teeth done.
573. He didn't seen her since last Friday.
574. Would you wait just a minute, please?
575. Would you please come with us, madam?
576. We'd like to ask you a few questions.
577. Ha-ha, I don't think much of his car.
578. I see Bruce Fanshawe got eight years.
579. Oh, Mother, we had such a lovely day!
580. What a lot of plans they had to make!
581. Er …, yes, we have, haven’t we, Mary?
582. I bet it cost you a fair bit, though.
583. You'll be off in a minite, I suppose.
584. We'll send you a postcard from Spain.
585. Arthur’s father is the village doctor.
586. What are you putting your coat on for?
587. My sister in London's ill in hospital.
588. Have you got any matches, Mr Smithers?
589. Arthur was now completely broke again.
590. There's still some of that punch left.
591. Then he helped Sheila put her coat on.
592. You aren't very cheerful this evening.
593. I shall be 22 next birthday, actually.
594. Besides, where could he get the money?
595. His battery must have been flat again.
596. I eexpect it'll be all right later on.
597. Mrs Harrison asked Arthur what it was.
598. Here's a five-pound consolation prize.
599. She immediately telephoned the police.
600. Susan, am I free next saturday at all?
601. I suppose we could manage without her.
602. Yes, quite sure, thank you, Mr Steele.
603. I hope she'll forget all about it now.
604. You're a very good cook, Mrs Stephens.
605. This time I think it's the real thing.
606. Here, help yourself to a beer, Arthur.
607. The referee’s blown the final whistle.
608. Arthur and mary'll be off in a minute.
609. The mornings won't be the same, ha-ha.
610. Anyway, there’s always time to do that.
611. I must go and see her tomorrow evening.
612. Could you step into his office, please?
613. Why did she have to get engaged to him?
614. Saturday the eighteenth - that's today.
615. Don't you want to see your old friends?
616. He did not want to stay at the library.
617. Now let's bring on the next contestant.
618. Neither do I and nor does Mrs Harrison.
619. Do you want another cup of tea, Arthur?
620. Going to have your teeth done, are you?
621. Are you sure you don't want to go home?
622. I used to think Arthur was such a bore.
623. Recently Arthur bought a car from Bruce.
624. Arthur put the lights out and locked up.
625. Stop the car, Arthur! I want to get out.
626. She got it in the January sales in town.
627. Thirts days hath September … so, er, 31?
628. That is the correct answer, Mrs Jenkins.
629. Well, I hope they do send it back today.
630. I thought I recognized your car outside.
631. No, I have my teeth done by old Pearson.
632. I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before.
633. I can't say I liked it very much either.
634. I must say It's been a lovely day today.
635. I don't understand what Mary saw in him.
636. Ah, we gipsies have the power, you know.
637. Well, we'll miss you two at the library.
638. She's gone to see her sister in hospital.
639. He was 55 years old and still a bachelor.
640. Well, will you do the cooking or shall I?
641. 'What shall we do now, Arthur?' she said.
642. The price of a double ticket is 2 pounds.
643. I haven't been taken to a dance for ages.
644. Arthur did not enjoy the dance very much.
645. Well, I must say they've been very quick.
646. I hope I don't have to have it taken out.
647. Here it is - the big house on the corner.
648. Mr McKenzie's just gone out for a moment.
649. You wouldn't be interested if I told you.
650. Look, there's a big queue at the counter.
651. Yes, I don't suppose we'll see him again.
652. I've got better things to spend money on.
653. I've been looking forward to it all week.
654. Have you ever seen such a ridiculous hat?
655. We are going to read about Mary and Bruce.
656. No, thanks, I'm doing all right by myself.
657. Arthur does not like him very much either.
658. He created a character called Mr Micawber.
659. One Friday night Arthur came home at 8.30.
660. Hm, I can't dance, at least not very well.
661. I ought to have gone to university really.
662. Sheila said she was trying to lose weight.
663. Welcome to another edition of Your Choice.
664. Is this the ring you brought in last week?
665. I'd only feel miserable by myself at home.
666. Are your fish and chips all right, Arthur?
667. the case against Fanshawe was taken first.
668. I think I'll sell it and buy a better one.
669. Arthur persuaded Mary to go this with him.
670. What a pity you missed most of it, Arthur.
671. Well, I don't know, I'm sure, Mr Stephens.
672. Oh, she's gone off to help Mary get ready.
673. They've got to be at the airport by three.
674. You promised not to be rude to me any more.
675. Is she at home? - I don’t know; she may be.
676. Then Mr Smithers told Arthur about himself.
677. You mustn’t play the radio or make a noise.
678. Mrs Harrison pressed his only suit for him.
679. Good evening. Sorry I'm late, Mrs Harrison.
680. He always used to make fun of me, actually.
681. Anyway the work was not interesting enough.
682. Oh, we've just had a bit of a row actually.
683. For each number there is a different prize.
684. Would you like to go into the waiting-room?
685. It's only a temporary filling, Mr Smithers.
686. There's pobably quite a simple explanation.
687. Then they told her not to leave Middleford.
688. George, why don't you offer Arthur a drink?
689. I'll just go and put the car away, I think.
690. You haven’t mentioned her once this holiday.
691. I only come home for the occasional weekend.
692. I don’t drink alcohol. - I’m sure you don’t.
693. Have you intrduced yourself to Mr Smithers?’
694. Are you really cooking for yourself tonight?
695. It is quite enough to see Mr Steele at work.
696. At the party everybody seemed very cheerful.
697. I had to see the bank manager the other day.
698. Well, it's never too late, you know, Arthur.
699. There are a lot of people waiting to served.
700. Would you like to tell us what your name is?
701. Anyway, the way you drive I'm not surprised.
702. If we sit over there, we'll be in the shade.
703. Here, do you want to borrow my handkerchief?
704. We'd arranged to meet for lunch on saturday.
705. Would you excuse me for a moment, Mr Steele?
706. All right. Off you go but don't be too long.
707. She had been thinking quite a lot about him.
708. And none of her family had ever liked Bruce.
709. Well, goodnight everybody, and thanks again.
710. Let's leave the washing up till the morning.
711. Palms reads, tea leaves, crystal ball - 50p.
712. Oh, you are a pretty young lady, aren't you?
713. The ball's gone dark; I can't see any more.
714. What on earth are you talking about, my boy?
715. I hope your manager's in a good mood. ha-ha.
716. Look at that extraordinary woman over there.
717. We're just waiting for the taxi to get here.
718. Have you made any New Year’s resolutions yet?
719. We all hope they will be very happy together.
720. Does Bruce make a lot of money, do you think?
721. Oh, it's only from the Old Boys' Association.
722. I should have done more work here, I suppose.
723. Oh dear, that isn't going to halp much is it?
724. Arthur told Mrs Harrison that he would be in.
725. Well, you've been very understanding, Arthur.
726. Why don't we go to the pictures this evening?
727. Yes, I've been going to bed late most nights.
728. Can you tell me what's going to happen to me?
729. Thank you, dear, and the best of luck to you.
730. Why don't you have your fortune told, Arthur?
731. Oh, I’d better get some more from the fridge.
732. Why don’t you help in the garden for a change?
733. So Arthur has two reasons to be jelous of him.
734. And I haven't had to replace the engine - yet.
735. Bruce had lent him a pound and laughed at him.
736. Did you get a good look at any of the robbers?
737. Where do I go now, Mr Smithers, right or left?
738. Yes, I'll make an appointment for Mr Smithers.
739. She's been having such a terrible time lately.
740. Well, what on earth’s the matter with you all?
741. They live in a small village called Applefield.
742. In this book we are going to read about Newton.
743. Anyway I'm so glad you asked Mary to invite me.
744. 'But I don't really like it there,' he thought.
745. If she were ill, she would telephone,' he said.
746. Arthur said that he had no idea where Mary was.
747. As a matter of fact I'm a bit fed up, actually.
748. He didn't turn up and I haven't seen him since.
749. Well, it's all rather extraordinary, Mr Steele.
750. Well, we've been doing economoics this evening.
751. Then I suppose you've been hard at it recently?
752. I'm so glad Mary's got someone to take her out.
753. Then they had to ring Arthur's parents as well.
754. You must be in the house by 11 o’clock at night.
755. Another thing is - Arthur can't dance very well.
756. Everybody admired the ring that Bruce gave Mary.
757. It's being held in the school hall this evening.
758. Dad said that he wasn't a very nice type of man.
759. Ooh, there are some lovely prizes, aren't there?
760. Well, I saw him at the dentist's at about 11.30.
761. She thought she had been behaving like an idiot.
762. Yes, I'm glad that business is all over at last.
763. Sitting behind the table was a dark-haired lady.
764. Now I mustn't forget to put salt in the potatoes.
765. I'll pop in some time in the evening if you like.
766. Unlike Arthur, Bruce always seems to be well off.
767. Arthur isn't taking anybody to the party himself.
768. She offered some to Arthur but he was not hungry.
769. Excuse me, is this the General Department Office?
770. Would you mind telling me what all this is about?
771. Yes, and it looks as if Bruce Fanshawe's a crook.
772. I don't know how you can believe in such rubbish.
773. Oh, it’s the European Cup Winners’ Cup, isn’t it?
774. He came to Middleford from Reading two months ago.
775. If you like, but you needn't come if you're busy …
776. Yes, but shall I get the green one or the red one?
777. The news was a surprise to everybody at the party.
778. I shall never forget it if I live to be a hundred.
779. He was the one who took the box the rings were in.
780. Well, I may go into one of the big firms like ICI.
781. I expect McKenzie's too expensive for you, anyway.
782. I'd better go and say goodbye to Arthur, hadn't I?
783. I’ve decided to grow more vegetables in the garden.
784. I am looking forward to Mary's wedding, aren't you?
785. It was put into the hall table drawer accidentally.
786. Now I ought to get on and tidy my room, I suppose.'
787. Oh well, he must have popped out for a few minutes.
788. You could start the management Course in September.
789. I'm from the Middleford Television Service Company.
790. Mm, I don't think you'd get much for it if you did.
791. Well, what have you two been doing with yourselves?
792. Bruce is tall, good-looking and has a big moustache.
793. Don’t expect Arthur to help you; he’s much too lazy.
794. So the following weekend Arthur had to stay at home.
795. I see your car hasn't been cleaned for ages, Arthur.
796. The work in the library was much too boring for him.
797. I was going to ask you if you'd lost it or anything.
798. At this question Arthur wasn't able to say anything.
799. Straight on actually, Arthur. Ooh, this tooth hurts.
800. But I think I'd rather stay here, if you don't mind.
801. We've been watching a lovely programme on the telly.
802. Oh, I had to do that years ago for my banking exams.
803. It will be difficult at first but you will be happy.
804. Arthur was not absolutely sure what he wanted to do?
805. He wears expensive clothes and has a gold wristwatch.
806. I haven’t had a cigarette since last night, actually.
807. I'll just go and get your breakfast from the kitchen.
808. He said he was sorry and bought me some lovely roses.
809. Now we shan't know what he's won until he comes home.
810. She doesn't like it if you leave your room in a mess.
811. Look, Arthur's told me more or less everything, Mary.
812. If I do some work it'll take my mind off my problems.
813. Would you like to have your dinner on a tray in here?
814. Fanshawe, Brown, Elkins, James and Robinson in Court.
815. Well, he's certainly better than that Bruce fanshawe.
816. Anyway, thanks very much for a very pleasant evening.
817. I’m just going across the road to get some cigarettes.
818. If you stay at home you don't have to spend any money.
819. Arthur helped Mr Steele to move the chairs and tables.
820. It it near those new blocks of flats they're building?
821. His remarks were heard by Mr Steele, who told him off.
822. Arthur went and got them and came back to their table.
823. Now, can you tell me, for your first question, what …?
824. Then the quizmaster told Arthur to choose an envelope.
825. The following monday Arthur got up early for a change.
826. But at that moment the door opened and there was Mary.
827. If I wait until this evening, the shop will be closed.
828. Woulkd you like to take the rest of the afternoon off?
829. That evening an article appeared in the evening paper.
830. Here's our industrial correspondent, Peter Thompson. …
831. Perhaps you could give me a hand in the kitchen, Mary.
832. There’s another girl in the group called Sheila Lawton.
833. Now there are one or two pieces of information for you.
834. Well, in any case you should have introduced me to him.
835. He didn't like Mr Steele and Mr Steele didn't like him.
836. Well, I've got an appointment with Mr Morgan, actually.
837. See my secretary and she'll giv you the enrolment form.
838. Now here's Jimmy Green to tell you what the prizes are.
839. Mr Smithers remarked that the cakes looked rather hard.
840. It's the next turning on the left - the one-way street.
841. We'll get a permanent filling done next week some time.
842. After a couple of hours they were all allowed to leave.
843. He will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
844. Not that young man in the car accident a few months ago?
845. Arthur has only one suit and wears it to work every day.
846. I'm terribly sorry but I really have to do them tonight.
847. It's just off the road that goes to the football ground.
848. Conditions at 21 Gladstone Avenue were pretty miserable.
849. First of all, he became a clerk in an insurance company.
850. Jennifer, on the other hand, had a very good time there.
851. Arthur drove down the motorway and was home fairly soon.
852. I must tidy up my bedroom before Mrs Harrison gets back.
853. Yes, I brought my ring in to have it repaired last week.
854. Well, what have you been learning about tonight, Arthur?
855. Hallo, we've had such a lovely time, haven't we, Arthur?
856. I'll be coming round to your bank tomorrow, Mr Smithers.
857. He is very bad with money and never seems to have enough.
858. Arthur wanted to know whether her course was interesting.
859. I want to watch the sport this afternoon. - Yes. So do I.
860. Neither did I. Mrs Harrison only phoned half an hour ago.
861. Especially when I have to get my car repaired every week.
862. Now I see books - thousands of books in a large building.
863. I've loved you ever since I first met you at the library.
864. To begin with they could look for a small furnished flat.

1181. They asked her if she would mind having her fingerprints taken and she told them she had nothing to hide and sgreed.
1182. He had been going out with Mary most evenings and and weekends but he had been staying up late reading and learning.
1183. He told her that he wpould not be able to buy her such an expensive engagement  ring as the one Bruce had given her.
1184. When Mr Smithers was shown Bruce's photo, he told the police that he recognized the man he had seen at the dentist's.
1185. Worst of all they did not know whether Arthur had won a prize or not, because they were not able to see the programme.
1186. The police believe that he would be able to help them in their enquiries into the recent robbery at the Westland bank.
1187. For the next few weeks Arthur saw mary quite a lot - not only in the library but also in the evenings and at weekends.
1188. I thought you looked a bit miserable this evening and I wondered whether there was anything the matter between you two.
1189. One evening about three weeks after the drama at the police station, Arthur had been studying at the Technical College.
1190. By half past ten everything was tidy again and Mr Steele thanked Sheila and Arthur for their help and left with his wife.
1191. He asked the girl at the enquiry about evening courses and she gave him a prospectus and arranged an appointment for him.
1192. He wanted to study for more qualifications and to leave the library but everything depended upon his examination results.
1193. Arthur does not like Bruce for several reasons and the most important reasons is that Arthur is in love with Mary himself.
1194. They each bought a hot-dog and walked to the middle of the fairground eating their hot-dogs and looking at all the stalls.
1195. The dentist agreed to see him ammediately, so Arthur volunteered to drive Mr Smithers round to the dentist's straight away.
1196. This fir is held annually every third week in June on Middleford Common, a large open space to the east of the town centre.
1197. Bruce and mary left quite early and by ten o'clock the only people who were left were Scheila, Arthur and Mr and Mrs Steele.
1198. He wanted to know what time the first man had come, what he looked like and whether Arthur had noticed the number of his van.
1199. If anybody has seen this man, would they please contact the Middleford police (Telephone 026 307 8097) or any police station?
1200. Arthur missed the target completely with all his shots but Mary got a good score and won a prize - a rather ugly-looking vase.
1201. Sometimes the prizes are worth a lot of money and sometimes they are something worthless like an empty matchbox or an old shoe.
1202. The Saturday after the trial was such a nice day, that Arthur rang Mary up and suggested a picnic and a drive into the country.
1203. The things he looked at in the windows were much too expensive for him to buy - hi-fi sets, cameras, tape recorders and watches.
1204. A record number of books were taken out in the first week of February and the staff of Middleford Library did a lot of overtime.
1205. I should very much like to be a contestatnt on 'Your Choice' or, if that is not possible, to be a member of the studio audience.
1206. They asked her if she had a photograph of Bruce and she told them she had and the police asked her if she would give it to them.
1207. I really can't be sure whether he was working late or not but somebody told me that saw his car parked outside the Station Hotel.
1208. After this the television company gave Arthur and the other contestants a dinner and then Arthur said goodbye, and left for home.
1209. At work in the library the following day, Arthur told ary about his holiday with his parents, and about Mrs Harrison's new lodger.
1210. The following morning was Saturday and Mrs Harrison rang up the TV repair company and asked them to send a repair man to the house.
1211. He has been living in Middleford for three years and during the past two years he has been working at the Middleford Used car mart.
1212. Well, as I was saying, we'd just received this money when some men, five I think there were, rushed in and pointed their guns at us.
1213. She'd just gone to the local shops to get her coat cleaned and have her shoes repaired and to do a little bit of household shopping.
1214. When the detective had gone Mrs Harrison went out to the television shop to explain what had happened and to order a new colour set.
1215. The quizmaster opened the envelope marked No. 7, and told him that he had won the Treasure Chest, which contained two hundred pounds.
1216. Arthur said that he would like to leave Middleford and that he could probably work and study in London if he passed his examinations.
1217. The police asked mary once more where she had got the ring and she explained that she'd been given it as an arrangement ring by Bruce.
1218. Just near the common there was an old eighteen-century pub with a garden outside where they went to sit and talked about their future.
1219. The winter is a time when a lot of books are borrowed from a library and so in the last few weeks of January Arthur was kept very busy.
1220. Arthur and mary walked past the caravans parked round the outside of the common and stopped at a stall selling hot-dogs and hamburgers.
1221. But unfortunately, Arthur had to go to work. So he set off half an hour earlier than usual and arrived at the library before anybody else.
1222. At the beginning of February the weather suddenly got very cold; the temperature dropped to ten degrees below zero and snow fell every day.
1223. His lecturer, Mr Greenslade, told him that the classes in English were once a week on Tuesdays and the Economics classes were on Thursdays.
1224. Mrs Harrison and Mr Smithers were very disappointed that the television had broken down just when Arthur was about to answer his questions.
1225. This is going to cost over 6,000 pound so the Old Boys' Association is holding an informal dance on Saturday 18th February in the school hall.
1226. Then tonight's Treasure Chest containing 300 pounds, an old sock, a cracked plate and tonight's Star prize - this wonderful family saloon car.
1227. A very polite and friendly detective, the one who had questioned Mr Smithers about the bank robbery, came round in about a quarter of an hour.
1228. A gang of men with stockings over their heads made a daring bank raid on the Westland Bank in Middleford High Street at 10 o'clock this morning.
1229. They made us lie donw on the floor and took the box the lady's rings were in, and then they took the keys from the manager and opebned the safe.
1230. Hallo, Arthur. That's all right. Your supper's in the oven. Do you know - Mr Smithers had a very nasty experience today, didn't you, Mr Smithers?
1231. Finally he was asked which was heavier - a pound of lead or a pound of feathers and again he gave the correct answer that they were both the same.
1232. January 16th is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of Middleford Library, so this year they are having a party to celebrate the occasion.
1233. The followed by the ceremony, after which photographs of the bride and bridgegroom with the bridesmaids and families were taken outside the church.
1234. In the morning he was woken up by his mother with a nice hot cup of tea and then he went downstairs for a late breakfast in front of a blazing fire.
1235. Arthur and Mary went to see the vicar of St Mark's Church to make arrangements for the ceremony and Mrs Stephens had to do the same for the reception.
1236. They then told her that the ring that she'd been given was one of the rings that had been stolen in the recent robbery at the Westland Bank in Middleford.
1237. Mary wanted Sheila an Jennifer to be her bridesmaids; Sheila accepted her invitation immediately, although Jennifer wasn't very keen on the idea at first.
1238. Arthur's old school friend, Peter, was the best man and he and Arthur arrived at the church just beofre 10 o'clock and waited Mary and her father to arrive.
1239. Arthur said that he thought fortune telling was a lot of stupid nonsense, but before he could say any more Mary had walked up the caravan steps and had gone in.
1240. Arthur thought it was a good idea, so when he the address for applications for entry to the quiz was put on the screen, Arthur wrote it down on a piece of paper.
1241. It says there are some lamb chops and some frozen peas in the fridge and the potatoes are in the saucepan on the stove and the cat's dinner's in another saucepan.
1242. After he had taken Sheila home, he drove back into the centre of Middleford and wandered about on foot for a while along the street where all the best shops were.
1243. Dear Mr Newton, As you probably know, the school sports pavilion is being rebuilt after the fire last summer in which the changing-rooms were completely destroyed.
1244. Mary Stephens, Fanshawe former fiancée, gave evidence that she had been given a ring by fanshawe, later idnetified as one of the items taken from the Westland bank.
1245. He stopped at a photographer's shop and looked at the wedding photographs in the window; there was a girl in one of the photos whose smiling face reminded him of Mary.
1246. Five men, all carrying guns, had made the staff lie on the floor while they opened the safe and stole jewelery worth 30.000 pounds and 50.000 pounds in used bank notes
1247. The other day, for example, I told him that my engagement ring was a little too large and that I'd taken it to the jeweller's to be altered and he was absolutely furious.
1248. Arthur, on the other hand, was feeling cheerful so at one o'clock he suggested to Mary that they should go and have lunch together at the Sunny Snack Bar, and she agreed.
1249. Then there was the honeymoon - it was lucky that Arthur had won the holiday for two on the Costa Brava in the TV contest, especially as Arthur did not have vary much money.
1250. They then asked him when he'd last seen him and he told them it was at the dentist's on saturday and that he was with Mr Smithers, who thought he'd seen Bruce somewhere before.
1251. She had been impressed by his money, his sports-car and his generosity, but she hadn't realized what sort of man he really was or what he had been doing when he wasn't with her.
1252. Mr Morgan's secretary had said that he should buy a copy of Shakespeare's Julius Cesar, Chaucer's Prologue to the Canterbury tales and Dickens' but he had not read the other two.
1253. 'If I didn't have to go to work this morning, it would be really great to go to the coast and sit in the sun - and if Mary were my girlfriend instead of Bruce's, she would come with me.
1254. They both had to appear twice, first at the Magistrates's Court and later at the trial before a judge and jury at the Central Criminal Court (or the Old Bailey, as it is called) in London.
1255. 'Annual income 20 pounds, annual expenditure 19 pounds 19 shillings and 6 pence, result happiness; annual income 20 pounds, annual expenditure 20 pounds 0 shillinds and 6 pence, result misery'.
1256. First of all, I want to thank you all for your hard work and co-operation over the past year and I don't have to say how pleased I am that our library has now completed 75 very successful years.
1257. When Arthur and Mary arrived the common was crowded with thousands of people enjoying themselves on the roundabouts, dodgem cars, the big dipper and all the amusements generally found at a fair.
1258. After Mrs Harrison had gone out again, Arthur made a cup of coffee for himself and Mr Smithers and brought them into the living-room with some rock cakes that Mrs Harrison had made the day before.
1259. When the police asked who Mr Smithers was and Arthur told them he was a clerk at the Westland Bank in Middleford, the police immediately went round to the bank and brought Mr Smithers to the station.
1260. Everybody discussed the robbery at the bank for two or three days but after a few weeks it was more or less forgotten, except that Arthur did not forget Mr Smither's description of one of the bank robbers.
1261. As soon as they arrived, Arthur asked if hr could telephone Mr Smithers at the library to tell him that both he and Mary would be late back from lunch and that they were helping the policce with their enquiries.
1262. … At half past three this afternoon, Bruce Fanshawe, wanted in connection with armed robbery at the Westland Bank in Middleford was arrested and charged while attempting to leave the country at Heathrow Airport.

142. Arthur has been there since ten past nine - he still can’t get there at nine o’clock.
143. In fact Arthur has no twin brother but he has a father, a mother and a teenage sister.
144. Have there been any telephone messages for me yet? - No, there haven’t been any calls.
145. He goes to watch them every week during the soccer season if they are playing at home.
146. Well, this is a local derby, of course, and there are a lot of Didcot supporters here.
147. Perhaps they are still at the restaurant with a nice hot cup of coffee and some brandy.
148. Now it’s a beautiful evening; it’s not dark yet - the summer evenings are always light.
149. His coat’s smoother and he’s got a sweeter face than all the rest. (coat = horse’s fur)
150. He must pay Mrs Harrison and he must pay about 3 pounds for Jennifer’s birthday present.
151. There’s a long table in the kitchen, with two chairs, and there’s a cupboard on the wall.
152. In England double yellow lines at the edge of the road may mean ‘No Parking at any time’.
153. A breakdown lorry has arrived from the local garage and is going to take Bruce’s car away.
154. The weather’s fine and warm and Mr Steele is going to start his holiday on Monday 1st July.
155. Well I had some lessons from my father once but after a few lessons he refused to continue.
156. Michael had a picnic basket with cold chicken in it, some French bread and a bottle of wine.
157. Well, we don’t give cars away, you know, but I think we may have something suitable for you.
158. I’ve already taken the old pictures away from the wall but I haven’t put the new ones out yet.
159. He put his suit on a hanger and hung it up in the wardrobe, and then closed the wardrobe door.
160. So now he needed a car but he wanted a cheap one because he only had about two hundred pounds.
161. Arthur didn’t do much for the rest of his holidays; he spent a lot of time working on his car.
162. Like many young girls today, Jennifer and her friends often wear jeans and T-shirts at parties.
163. He is a doctor, so he often uses things like bandages, dressings, syringes and various medicines.
164. The insurance alone on this car comes to about two hundred pounds a year and there’s the road tax.
165. He had to pay forty pounds and the policeman on duty said one of his tyres was worn almost smooth.
166. Neither Arthur nor Jennifer has gone because Jennifer is cleaning the house and Arthur is too lazy.
167. Sometimes they went no faster than five miles a hour and in some places they went even more slowly.
168. Dr Newton has examined his patient and now he is in the ambulance on his way to Applefield Hospital.
169. There was a yellow sports car outside the showroom with the following information on the windscreen.
170. There aren’t many letters this morning; there are only two - one for Mrs Harrison and one for Arthur.
171. Last weekend wasn’t a great success for Arthur but this week is going to be different - Arthur hopes.
172. Then he went to the Driving School and made an appointment for his first lesson on Wednesday evening.
173. One Saturday afternoon Arthur put his cheque-book into his pocket and caught a bus to the High Street.
174. So Arthur drove down to Applefield on Friday night and on Saturday morning he was in the village shop.
175. That Didcot chap’s rolling about on the ground and the referee’s writing something in his little book.
176. But on the last Thursday of each months, Arthur gets his pay and today is Thursday, twenty-seventh June.
177. He has asked both Mary and Sheila to meet him in The Applefield Arms, the village pub, at twelve o’clock.
178. The next day he went along to the Licence Office in his lunch hour and got a Provisional Driving Licence.
179. In England there are two kinds of football: Rugby Football or rugger, and Association Football or soccer.
180. He didn’t row very quickly because this time it was upstream and Arthur wasn’t very good at rowing anyway.
181. So while Shelia and Jennifer went for a swim, Arthur went round to the police station and collected his car.
182. There aren’t any seats in this compartment, and there aren’t any in this one either, and this one’s full too.
183. But Mr Taylor’s hair didn’t go completely white and in fact Arthur learnt to drive without too much difficulty.
184. She’s taking all the dirty glasses and plates into the kitchen and she’s going to do the washing up in a minute.
185. Tomorrow evening he will start his two weeks’ holiday and will drive down to Applefield to stay with his family.
186. He bought some paint and at the end of the week it was cleaner, brighter and more attractive than it was before.
187. There is an old lady with a handbag and a small dog on her knee and there are two men with pipes in their mouths.
188. On Sunday evenings in the summer the traffic is always heavier than usual; in fact it’s the worst time of the week.
189. The referee and the two captains are tossing up to see who’s going to kick off and who’s going to play at which end.
190. So Arthur met Michael outside the ground at a quarter to three on Saturday, a quarter of an hour before the kick-off.
191. This is first - up here; second’s down like this and third’s up and to the right like this, and forth’s straight down.
192. On his last Saturday at home, Arthur, Jennifer, Bob and Sheila went to a race meeting at Fetlock Park near Applefield.
193. He did not take his driving test two or three times - he passed the very first time - six weeks after his first
194. This evening I shall clean the car, check the tyres, fill up the radiator and put some distilled water into the battery.
195. There is a red tablecloth on the table and there are some knives, forks and spoons and some salt and pepper on the table.
196. So Arthur went to the supermarket and bought some cheese, ham and tomato sandwitches, some pickled onions and some fruit.
197. The policeman has written down Bruce’s name and address and he has looked at his driving licence and insurance certificate.
198. THIS WEEK’S BARGAIN; ONE CAREFUL OWNER - LOW MILEAGE; 1978 M.O.T. - RADIO - MANY EXTRAS; 200 POUNDS DEPOSIT - THREE YEARS TO PAY
199. Mr Steele has gone home early today and there aren’t many people in the library so Arthur’s sitting behind the desk and he’s thinking.
200. One day during his first week at work after his holidays, Sheila’a brother, Michael, came into the library to borrow a book about soccer.
201. You’ve been in that armchair all the morning reading the News of the World and I’ve done all the cleaning and I’ve done all the vegetables.
202. When they passed Salisbury, however, conditions were better, but they didn’t arrive home until after midnight - much later than they expected.
203. Two small boys in a canoe brought the boat back to the island after about three quarters of an hour and Arthur rowed the boat back to the bridge.
204. Arthur, as you can imagine, is not a great sportsman, but he had nothing to do that Saturday, so he accepted Michael’s invitation to go with him.
205. The odds on Darling Mary were 10 to 1; if you put one pound on a horse at ten to one, you win ten pounds and you get your original one pound back too.
206. One Saturday while Arthur was working in the library, he took his small transistor radio out of his pocket and switched it on very low to listen to the results and check the copy of his coupon.
207. Jennifer’s friend, Bob, the engineering student from Reading University, knows a lot more about cars than most people in Applefield, and he came round to the Newtons’ on several evenings and helped Arthur.
208. Well, anyway, this is the steering-wheel, as you know, and these pedals are - the clutch on the left here, and that’s for your left foot, the middle one’s the foot-brake and the one on the right’s the accelerator. You use your right foot for both the brake and the accelerator.This the hand-brake and that’s the gear-lever. When you put your foot down on the clutch, you can change gear.

1. You aren’t hungry, are you? - Yes, I am.
2. These potatoes aren’t hot, they’re cold.
3. It’s a beautiful day and Arthur’s happy.
4. He isn’t there drinking a cup of coffee?
5. Mr Steele must not see him at this time.

14. Arthur got up early on Saturday morning.
15. Well, you didn’t do too badly that time.
16. Then I shall get four gallons of petrol.
17. Arthur doesn’t know anything about them.
18. I expect he’s as slow as Arthur as well.
19. What’s this? Is it a clock? - Yes, it is.
20. There are two empty glasses on the table.
21. They are Mary from the library and Bruce.
22. Is it in his coat pocket? - No, it isn’t.
23. Who can I see in the car across the road?
24. Don’t come anywhere near the car, please!
25. Oh, he’s gone up to the bathroom at last.
26. She is still in Applefield with her aunt.
27. Oh, all right, but I mustn’t be too late.
28. There isn’t another one for half an hour.
29. Mary didn’t even say goodnight to Arthur.
30. So you passed your test. Congratulations.
31. He has no money left to go anywhere else.
32. I’ll sit in front because I’m navigating.
33. Well, personally, I think it’s very nice.
34. I’m dying for a swim. Aren’t you, Arthur?
35. Mr Steele, are you there? - Yes, I’m here.
36. By the way, Arthur’s very quiet, isn’t he?

38. I’m just going to check for any fractures.
39. Now it’s eleven o’clock on Sunday morning.
40. Dr and Mrs Newton have both gone shopping.
41. I’ve still got two or three of them to do.

249. They’ll all be surprised to see me with a car, won’t they?
250. And so Arthur had less money for the rest of his holidays.

1. You want to buy that, do you?
2. Yes, it doesn’t seem too bad.
3. Now where did we put the car?

84. I’ve come for my driving lesson.
85. Sorry, what was your name again?

90. She’ll be with Bruce, I suppose.
91. He told her about his ‘new’ car.
92. It’s round the corner, isn’t it?

230. She isn’t sitting with Bruce.
231. Happy days, Arthur and Mary …
232. Look, she’s opening her eyes.
233. Show me some of them, please.
234. Arthur is getting out of bed.
235. Don’t leave your change here!
236. I must try the next carriage.

247. I’ve got enough here, thanks.
248. Here, pass your glasses over.
249. May I look at something else?
250. Now what about this one here?
