Dear Yvonne,
Thanks for your postcard. I’m really pleased
that you’ve decided to take the job. I’m sure
you will do very well.
I am still looking for a location for the T-
shirt factory, but it’s not easy to find the
right place. I want a small or medium-sized
factory that is not too expensive. I also want
it to be not too far from the center of town,
but not too close either because I don’t want
to be in traffic jams every morning.
I prefer to buy the factory rather than rent
it. That way we can do what we like with it. I
will let you know when I find something.
Regards,
Arlene

menu. What prices! Strawberries and cream cost $15! Finally, my table was ready,
but it was dirty. The rolls weren’t fresh, and the grilled fish was cold. “Perhaps the
desserts are better,” I thought. I ordered a slice of chocolate nut cake. While I was
eating it, I broke a tooth! I found a small stone in the cake! I complained to the
waiter, and phoned my insurance company. Listeners, don’t go to Prima Vera
Restaurant! Eat at home. I promise you that you’ll enjoy it a lot more!

Rita’s Trip Abroad

“Ladies and gentlemen, our flight is arriving in Washington, D.C. shortly”
Rita was looking out the window. Around her people were talking excitedly. Rita
was nervous. It was not only her first time abroad, but it was also her first time
outside her small village in Mexico. She was visiting her aunt and uncle for the
summer. She couldn’t wait to go sightseeing. But she was a little worried about her
English. She knew some English from school, and she hoped it was good enough.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the capital of the United States.”
Rita checked to make sure she had everything: her passport, the immigration form,
and her round-trip ticket. She followed the people out of the plane. She waited with
the other foreigners while the immigration officials asked each person many
questions. Rita was nervous, but the immigration officer patiently repeated each
question slowly and clearly. Rita found her suitcase and started walking toward the
exit. Many people were waiting outside. She was looking around, when she
suddenly heard someone shout her name.
“Rita! Rita!” It was her aunt and uncle!

“We’re so happy you’re here!”
Rita smiled. She knew that she was going to have a good time that summer in
America.

Malcolm’s Special Day

Malcolm was lying in bed at 7 a.m. on a sunny morning. He was excited because it
was his birthday. His wife was still asleep. Malcolm woke her up.
“Debbie, do you know what day it is?”
62 Appendix

“May 15th.”
“And...”
“And you have a 9 a.m. appointment with the dentist today. You have to get up!”
Malcolm was upset. “Debbie forgot my birthday,” he thought while he was brushing
his teeth.
“Bye, Debbie,” said Malcolm. He was trying to seem calm and relaxed. “Maybe
we’ll go to a restaurant for lunch.”
“Why? What’s special about today?” she asked.
“Oh, nothing.”
Malcolm wasn’t nervous at the dentist’s office. The pain didn’t even bother him. He
was thinking about his birthday, and was feeling lonely.
“Even my mother forgot to phone!” he thought.
When Malcolm came home, he slowly opened the door. “Surprise!”
All his friends and relatives were smiling and laughing.
“Happy birthday, Malcolm,” said Debbie. “Do you forgive me?”
There’s Tom
- Look. There’s Tom.
- Why don’t you go over and talk to him?

MAKING EXCUSES
Family
“Hi, Mom! It’s Susan. I might not come to Aunt Carol’s party tonight. I have a cold
and a terrible headache. I’m taking a pill for the pain right now, and I’m going to lie
down and relax. Don’t worry! I’ll call when I get up and tell you if I’ll be able to
come to the party.”
The Party
After a long, busy day at work, Jason was finally going home. He was tired. He
wasn’t thinking about anything special.
“Perhaps I should go into the supermarket in our neighborhood, and pick up a
couple of pounds of strawberries,” Jason thought.
While Jason was driving to the store, his car phone rang. It was his wife, Jenny.
“Jason, where are you? Last night you promised to come home early to help me
prepare the food and decorate the house. You know that we’re having a party
tonight.”
“Oh, no!” Jason said.
“I had so much work today that I forgot about the party.”
“I know it’s always a good idea to remind you to come home early, even when you
promise,” said Jenny. “However, this time I expected you to remember.”
At first, Jason didn’t understand what Jenny was talking about, but then he

remembered: Jenny was having a party for him that night. It was his fiftieth
birthday!

Appendix 67

Tickets, Please!
Ushers in theaters and concert halls around the world see performances and plays
for free, and never have to wait in line for tickets. What is it like to be an usher?
“People often think that being an usher is an easy job, but it isn’t,” says Peter
Sullivan, an usher at the Palladium Theater. “It’s difficult to stand so much! When
I’m tired, I sit in an aisle seat during intermission, but my boss could fire me for
that.” Ushers usually stand at the entrance to the auditorium. They give people
programs, look at their tickets, and show them their seats. Ushers must keep the
audience quiet, especially after the curtain goes up. It isn’t always easy.
“Last night one man was talking in a loud voice while the orchestra was playing,”
says Xavier Marcos. “I told him to be quiet, but he didn’t stop talking. Some people
were very angry, but there was nothing I could do.”
Actors and musicians sometimes work as ushers, too. Samantha Page studies
acting and is also an usher. “I won’t be an usher forever,” she explains. “I’m going
to be famous one day. But I’ll always remember beginning my career as an usher!”
Excuse Me
- May I see your ticket and passport, please?
- Ah... Excuse me?
- I need your ticket and your passport, please.
- Oh, sorry. I didn’t understand you. Here they are.

Adverbs: Frequency
- I often travel to new and exciting places, but I never travel by plane. I always
travel by ship. And of course, I always go first class.

- Do you like to swim?
- I love swimming. But I don’t like swimming in cold water.
Impersonal Statements: Empty Subject

- It’s wonderful here! It’s only 10 o’clock and it’s already hot! It’s time to go to the
beach!
