preparing with my class? Would you be able to play one of the roles? Jack: Why me? I haven’t been in a play for years. Lara: Well, unless I find somebody soon, I may have to give up the whole idea. And it would be such a pity, come on, I thought you loved acting… Jack: When I was about ten, yes, I did. But that’s all changed now. And my voice is not as good as it used to be. Lara: Of course it is! It’s improved, in my opinion. Isn’t it funny! I hated being in plays when I was a child, I’d do anything to avoid acting, and look at me now, I’m a full time drama teacher. Jack: Yes, I often wonder why you didn’t become an actor rather than a teacher. You seemed to have all the qualities… Lara: Yes, it makes me sad to think about it. I’d be earning lots of money now. Anyway, about that part in my play. How about this? I’ll send you a copy of the play and you can have a look at it and then you can decide… Jack: I’ll do that, but I can’t promise I’ll say yes, OK? Now, listen, why don’t you have the play a week later? That would give you time to find an actor and … Lara: Oh, that would disappoint everyone, I can’t do that. We’ll talk again after the weekend. I must go now. Do give me a call. Bye! Jack: Bye! I’ll call you on Monday. 1. Lara is confident that her play will be a success. 2. Jack enjoyed acting when he was a child. 3.

Misha: Do you have magical holidays, Robin? Can you tell me about them?
Robin: Well, where do I start, Misha? I come from Scotland and my great-grandparents were the Druids. The Druids are magical people. They can speak to the trees and to animals. They can fly and see into the future. They say that a year has two halves: a light half (spring and summer) and a dark half (autumn and winter).
The weather in Scotland is usually cool, but spring and summer are often nice. It is never hot, but it can be quite warm. It sometimes rains, but we also get some sun. The nights are short and the days are long. People work in the fields. Children lie in the sun and play in the woods.
But autumn and winter in Scotland are very cold. The weather is bad. In autumn it often rains and in winter it snows and rains,
