Ninth lesson

SIMON'S BIRTHDAY

Part 1

Simon's birthday

I'm Carol Fenton.

I'm Mrs. Hunt's sister.

This evening my sister's family is coming to celebrate my nephew's birthday.

I've planned a small party but Simon doesn't know about it yet.

It's a surprise.

I'm very excited.

I haven't seen Sarah's family for five years.

They've been in Geneva for three years and we've been in London for three years.

My husband and I are from Bristol but we haven't lived there for eight years.

Many of our friends still live in Bristol.

Next month we're going there to visit my husband's family.

We're staying at his brother's house.

All my relatives are going, too.

Part 2

The Fentons

Someone's at the door, Carol.

Is everything ready?

Yes, dear, everything's fine.

Answer the door.

Hello!

I'm so happy to see you.

Come in!

Carol, you look very well.

Thank you, Sarah... you look very well, too.

And the children... they're both so tall!

Well... you haven't seen them for five years.

Sarah, you've forgotten to introduce Sheila.

I'm very sorry.

Carol, we've brought a friend with us.

This is Sheila Morgan.

She hasn't visited London before.

Hello, Sheila.

How do you do, Mrs. Fenton?

Please call me Carol.

Now sit down everyone.

I've made some tea.

It's in the kitchen.

Can Jane help me?

Of course she can.

Three days

How long have you been here?

We've been here since Sunday.

Today's Wednesday... we've been here for three days.

And what have you seen since Sunday?

We've been very busy but we haven't seen very many things.

London's so big!

We've seen some of the sights and we've shopped in Oxford Street.

Have the girls bought anything?

Yes, they've bought some lovely things.

And you? Have you bought anything?

I've seen a few nice things but I haven't bought anything yet.

I'm going to Oxford Street on Friday. Come with me.

I know the good shops.

Carol's sons

How are your sons?

Tim's still living with us.

Has he finished university yet?

Yes, he has. He's worked here in London for eighteen months.

What does he do?

He works in an export company.

He's worked there since January.

And what does Chris do?

He works in Dad's company in Bristol.

We still haven't met Chris's fiancee.

They're coming to visit us this year.

When?

Either this month or next month.

How long is Chris's holiday?

No one's told him yet.

He wants four weeks.

Maggie's got four week's holiday.

Is Maggie Chris's fiancee?

That's right.

Here name's Margaret but we call her Maggie.

Happy birthday

Ah! Here's Tim.

Hello, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Guy. How are you?

Are these my cousins?

Yes. This is my daughter, Jane, and this is Simon.

Sarah, you've forgotten to introduce Sheila again.

Oh sorry. This is Sheila Morgan.

Sheila, this is Carol's son, Tim.

Hello, Sheila.

Are my aunt and uncle your parents' friends?

No, my parents don't know Mr. and Mrs. Hunt.

My parents' home's in Devon.

Is everyone ready?

We're having the party now.

Party?

Yes, this is your birthday party, Simon.

Happy birthday!

Part 3

Aunt Jane

I'm so tired!

Yes, you look tired.

I've shopped all day.

Why?

Because today's my nephew's birthday.

Have you bought anything?

No, nothing.

Why not?

Because he's got everything!

The party

Is everything ready?

No, I haven't bought the melon yet.

Are there any sandwiches?

Yes... well... no.

I've bought the bread but I haven't made the sandwiches yet.

Have you made the pies?

No, I haven't made them yet.

Is the wine here?

No, it hasn't arrived and the shop's closed now.

But I've bought a dress.
