• Question 1 of 11.
At the Airport

Miguel is standing in line at the airport. It is his turn and he walks to the
counter. The lady at the counter asks him for his ID and she checks his flight
details. Yes, he is confirmed on flight 103 from Los Angeles to Hawaii at
noon. He does not have any bags to check in but has one small carry-on bag
that he will take with him. The agent prints out his boarding pass. The
airport security officers walk past him with a big dog. The dog is sniffing
around people’s luggage trying to detect drugs and explosives. Miguel is
relieved when he sees the dog walk past him. Suddenly, the dog turns and
begins to sniff his bag and bark. The security officer looks at Miguel. “Sir,
please bring your bag and come with me.”
 • Question 2.
• Saritha is watching a Bollywood movie with her boyfriend Chris. Bollywood
movies are filmed in the Hindi language by the film industry based in
Mumbai, India. The ‘B’ in Bollywood comes from ‘Bombay’, the old name
for Mumbai. Traditional Bollywood movies are not meant to be realistic.
They are usually musicals with plenty of dance, romance, action and very
often violence. The reason for their popularity is that most people in India
are poor and these films provide an escape from the reality of their daily
lives. For the middle class, they are a way to live out fantasies of falling in
love and marrying the man or woman of their dreams. This is not common in
a country where their spouses are usually selected for them in what are
called ‘arranged marriages’. When you watch a traditional Bollywood
movie, be prepared for a film, usually not shorter than two and a half hours,
whose main purpose is to entertain.

Now listen to this:

Hi, uh, this is Ron Thomas. This afternoon I shopped at your
supermarket and I think you made a
mistake. When I got home I checked my receipt and you charged me
for two bottles of cooking oil
but I only bought one bottle. I know it's not a big charge, but I, well, I
shouldn't be charged for
something I didn't buy. I can come back to your store if you need me to
or please ask your
manager to give me a call at 733-0770. Let me know what I should do.
