Jeff hired a designer to decorate his room in Japanese style.
2) False
3) Not stated
Todd: Hey, Jeff, this is a very nice room.
Jeff: Hmm. It’s comfortable and cozy. It’s in Japanese style.
Todd: I like it. It’s got the tatami mat, and some beautiful vases. Oh, you have a pretty small kitchen. Do you live alone?
Jeff: Right now I have a friend of mine staying with me. His name is Mark. He’s my childhood friend.
Todd: Oh, really, sort of a room-mate.
Jeff: Sort of a room-mate, yes. Short term, he’s staying with me short-term, so yes, a room-mate.
Todd: OK, how’s that going?
Jeff: Ah, I don’t like it.
Todd: Why?
Jeff: He’s lazy. He’s messy. He doesn’t exercise and eats junk food. And well, you know, Mark contributes nothing to the household budget. He’s so careless.
Todd: Oh, so he lives here and he doesn’t cover his living expenses.
Jeff: Well, yeah. But what annoys me most is that he’s lazy, and he doesn’t do much all day.
Todd: That’s got to be pretty irritating.
Jeff: He’s a great fellow. He’s a good friend of mine, but, yeah, he’s a disgusting slob, I try to encourage him to do a few things but he’s a tough one. He doesn’t want to do anything.
Todd: Are you going to tell him he has to move out?
Jeff: Ah, no, he’s a smart man. He knows the deal. He knows what’s going on, and I think he’s, yeah, I would never ask him to move out because I don’t mind having him here but I’m just going to try to whip him into shape.
Todd: Oh, so you’re just going to try to change him so he becomes a better roommate?
Jeff: I’m going to try to, yeah, try to get him a better schedule, a better schedule (yeah) like exercise and eating right and smoking less and watching TV less.
Todd: Well, what is his schedule?
Jeff: Ah, his schedule is, he’s like a night owl, when he goes to bed I go to work. He stays up most of the night watching TV, and then he sleeps most of the day recovering, and then when he gets up he has a headache. He’s a bit sluggish and slow. It’s not a healthy option. Actually, I would like him to take up some kind of sport or sports games.
Todd: Yeah, but it doesn’t sound like it’s going to happen. Good luck.
Jeff: Thanks. I’ll probably need it.
It’s comfortable and cozy. It’s in Japanese style. Не сказано, кто нанимал дизайнера.

Interviewer: So Mike, you mentioned your family, do you have a big family?
Mike: No, I have a fairly small family, actually, including me there are only four people in my family.
Int: So it’s your mother, your father, you...
Mike: And my sister.
Int: Oh, and your sister. OK, is your sister younger or older than you?
Mike: She’s younger. She’s just started university actually.
Int: OK, that’s nice. So where does your family live right now?
Mike: Ah, my mother and my father live in Victoria in Canada and my sister is on the other side of Canada in Montreal in Quebec and I live in the capital.
Int: Well, tell me about your father. What’s your father like?
Mike: My father is pretty much the most interesting person I know. He tells different kinds of stories about his childhood, and his growing up.
Int: Did he grow up in Canada?
Mike: No, he grew up in Liverpool, in England.
Int: OK, nice, and what does your father do?
Mike: Ah, he was a pilot until five years ago. It was kind of tragic, he had a heart attack and he wasn’t allowed to fly anymore.
Int: Oh, I'm sorry.
Mike: He’s fine now, yeah.
Int: OK, what about your mother? Does she work?
Mike: No, she doesn’t. She used to work. They both worked for Cathay Pacific airline. My mother was a stewardess and my father was a pilot. She was first introduced to him as a new member of the crew when they flew together to Osaka.
Int: Oh, what a story. OK and what about your sister? You said that she’s a student.
Mike: She’s a student. She’s in her first year in McGill University which is in Quebec. I haven’t spoken to her lately so I don’t know how she’s doing.
Int: So you and your sister, are you similar or quite different?
Mike: Oh, we are definitely quite different.
Int: How so?
Mike: I was a rebellious type. I pretty much laid the foundation for my sister to get all the freedoms that she has — Mum and Dad treat her differently now. But she doesn’t appreciate any of those things. Another way that we’re different is that she’s really into arts and drawing and painting and making music whereas I’m more into the technical side of things, like computer making, fixing cars.
Int: So it sounds like you are quite different. Well, maybe she’ll listen to this and she’ll appreciate you more.
Mike: I hope so.
Int: Oh, and your sister. OK, is your sister younger or older than you?
M: She is younger. She is just started university actually

Ruth speaks English with a strong accent.
2) False
3) Not stated
John: I'm sorry, what was your name again?
Ruth: My name is Ruth Archibald.
John: OK, Ruth, are you from Ireland?
Ruth: Yes, I am.
John: I’ve noticed your slight Irish accent.
Ruth: Really? I thought I lost my Irish accent after moving south, from Ireland to Spain.
John: What was it like going from Ireland to Spain?
Ruth: Ah, it was a depressing change I guess. I had longterm friends back home, you know, friends from school, and there were some boys and girls I’ve known since I was born. I needed to make new friends and to find a place to hang out. But it’s OK now.
' John: I’ve never been to Ireland. What’s famous about Ireland that you can tell me about?
Ruth: Probably the most famous things are Guinness and Irish clog-dance — dancing in wooden shoes.
John: Do you dance in wooden shoes?
Ruth: Unfortunately not. I think only a few people can do this.
John: I’ve heard that people’s manners are pretty rough and ready in Ireland. Is that true?
Ruth: No, I don’t think so. I think it depends on where you go in Ireland. In the capital, yes, maybe people are a bit less polite, but in the countryside they’re very warm and friendly.
John: OK, so if I went to a bar or a disco in Ireland, would there be any risk of getting into trouble?
Ruth: I don’t think so. No. No. It’s really safe. You don’t really think that all Irish people are rude and short-tempered.
John: Oh, no. No.... And where exactly are you from?
Ruth: I’m from a place called Bray, which is maybe an hour’s drive from the capital, Dublin but far away from the main industrial centres. It’s clean and calm.
John: What is the geography like?
Ruth: It’s pretty flat. There are some hills but none of them are very high and the area around the city has been intensively cultivated — there’s a lot of farming, particularly beef and dairy products and also sheep. There are lots of sheep.
John: When are you going back?
Ruth: I’ve just been there. I went back in December for three weeks, so at the moment I have no plans to go home in the near future, but maybe sometime in September I’ll go again.
John: Maybe I’ll go and visit it sometime.
Ruth: Definitely. It’s really good. It’s a really nice place to visit.

John: Tini, you’re a student, aren’t you?
Tini: Yeah, I am.
John: Do you like to study? Do you like your student life?
Tini: Of course. You know, I like studying although I’m not that much of a bookworm, like some of my friends who can’t imagine their lives without reading, but yes, Hike studying. I like spending time with my friends, and I just like my student life.
John: Now, soon, you’re going to graduate, correct?
Tini: Yes, fortunately or unfortunately, yes.
John: Well, why would you say fortunately?
Tini: Fortunately in the sense that, you know, it’s about time to get out into the real world and, you know, earn some money. But unfortunately in the sense that all of these precious memories, like you are putting them all behind.
John: Yeah, soon they are going to be over.
Tini: Right, and then you have more problems and responsibilities as soon as you step into the real world, which is understandable. I don’t mind this but no more spring vacation, no more summer vacation, this is tough.
John: Actually, that’s why I’m a teacher. People always ask me, why are you a teacher, John? And I say because of the time off. You get so much time off, and you don’t have to work a 9—5 schedule.
Tini: Yes, that is a very smart choice, I think.
John: Yeah, but you make no money.
Tini: Well, but you know you can be fresher and that’ll keep you young forever.
John: I don’t know about young forever but it does... you do feel energetic when you’re a teacher. I do agree. Well, you know, you can also become a teacher.
Tini: Well, actually, I’ve given it a bit of thought but right now I’m really into the banking industry.
John: Banking?
Tini: Yeah, the financial services industry, and then probably I might like to give it a go.
John: That’s going to be very stressful.
Tini: It is, but you know, I pretty much like the fast- paced lifestyle and I’m quite quick-thinking and well-organ- ised.
John: Good luck with banking then, you keep on with it.
Tini: Thank you. It’s going to be really tough, I know.
I just like my student life.
