Part 1 Spot Dictation

Houses in the Future

Well, I think houses in the future will probably be (1) quite small but I should think they'll be (2) well-insulated so that you don't need so much (3) heating and (4) cooling as you do now, so perhaps very economical (5) to run. Perhaps they will use (6) solar heating, although I don't know, in this country, perhaps we (7) won't be able to do that so much. Yes, I think they'll be full of (8) electronic gadgets: things like very advanced televisions, videos, perhaps videos which take up ... the screen (9) takes up the whole wall. I should think. Yes, you'll have things like (10) garage doors which open automatically when you (11) drive up, perhaps electronic (12) sensors which will (13) recognize you when you, when you come to the front door even. Perhaps (14) architects and designers will be a bit more (15) imaginative about how houses are designed and perhaps with the (16) shortage of space people will think of putting gardens (17) on the roof and, and maybe rooms can be (18) expanded and, and (19) contracted* depending on what you use them for, so perhaps there'll be a bit more (20) flexibility about that.

Part 1 Dialogue

I’m terribly sorry I’m late

Woman: Listen! I'm terribly sorry I'm late.

Man: Oh, that's all right. It doesn't really matter, does it? I haven't got anything better to do, have I? Woman: Just let me explain, will you?

Man: I've only been waiting for over an hour. That's all.

Woman: Yes. I know, and I would have ...

Man: After all, my time isn't really that important, is it?

Woman: Please don't be like that. Just let me explain.

(Silence. Man says nothing.)

Woman: I ... I tried to get here in time but just after I left home, the car broke down.

Man: The car broke down?

Woman: Yes, and ... well ... luckily ... there was a garage near me. And ... and it took them a while to repair it.

Man: Why didn't you at least phone?

Woman: I would have! But I didn't know the number of the restaurant.

Man: You could have looked it up in the telephone book!

Woman: Yes, but ... you'll never believe this ... I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant. I knew where it was, but forgot the name.

Man: I see. Well, at least it was lucky you found a garage to repair your car.

Woman: Yes. It was something I couldn't do myself. It didn't take too long, but that's why I'm late, you see.

Man: Uh-huh. Which garage, by the way?

Woman: Pardon?

Man: Which garage did you take it to?

Woman: Uh ... the one near my flat. You know. Lewis Brothers.

Man: Yes, I know that garage. It's the only one near your flat.

Woman: Hmm, well now, let's have something to eat. Uh, what about some ...

Man: I know the garage very well!

Woman: Yes. Let's see now. Yes, I think I'll have some ...

Man: A pity it's Sunday.

Woman: Pardon?

Man: A pity it's Sunday. That garage is closed on Sunday!
