SECTION 1 Good morning. How can I help you? Good morning. I'd like to ask for some information about the house. Is it a student flat? No, it's a private house (Q1). It was built in 1897. Wow! It's an old house. Will I be sharing the room? It is a five-bedroom house, and one of the rooms is available for rent. And what about the facilities in the house? They are all in good condition. We have a big bathroom and a living room, a dining room, and a small garden at the back of the house. Do you have a computer room? No, we don't have a computer room (Q2C), nor do we have a garage (Q2E). The house is non-smoking and we never go to bed late. And no loud music is allowed, especially after 11. What about the rent? Is it expensive? It's 400 a month including bills. Well, I think that is a little too high. Is the rent negotiable? No, I'm afraid not. Well, I'd like to have a look at the house anyway. When is it convenient for you? I'm free this afternoon between 2 and 5. Okay, what about 3 o'clock? Great. See you at 3.

SECTION 2 Good morning and welcome to our sports centre. I'm Mike, a team leader here. Before you start your activities, I'd like to give you some information about our centre. There are some rules you must obey. All the members should take a shower before using the pool. Also, for your own safety, you are not allowed to run around the centre. It is strictly forbidden to eat or drink in the pool area. For the new members, we offer a free fitness test. For more details about this, please ask one of our staff at the reception desk. There are some individual and group lessons available. For example, we offer a course of six swimming lessons for only 15. The price for using the centre at the weekend is 10 for adults, and the price will be halved for children. We also have a small cafe here. You can buy some snacks, sandwiches, and drinks. If you want to play table tennis, you need to bring your own bat. You can hire other equipment at reception. We also have a shop selling sports wear such as swimming suits, t-shirts and trainers.

SECTION 3 Hi Jane, how's your project going? It's okay, but I'm having some trouble with the research. I've been to the library a few times, but I can't seem to find enough information. Have you tried asking the librarian for help? Yes, I have. She's very helpful, but the books she recommended are all out on loan. Hmm, that's a problem. Have you tried looking online? Yes, I have. But I'm not very good at using the internet, and I'm not sure where to start. Well, I can help you with that. I'm pretty good at finding information online. That would be great. Thanks, Tom. No problem. So, what's your project about? It's about the history of the internet. Oh, that's interesting. I've got a few books on that subject. I can lend them to you if you like. That would be amazing. Thank you so much. No problem. So, when's your project due? It's due in two weeks. Okay, well, we've got plenty of time. Let's go to the library now and see what we can find.

SECTION 4 Good morning, everyone. Today, I'm going to be talking about the history of the internet. The internet has become an essential part of our lives, but it's hard to believe that it's only been around for a few decades. The internet was first developed in the 1960s by the US military. It was originally designed as a way to communicate in the event of a nuclear war. The first version of the internet was called ARPANET. It was a network of computers that were connected together. In the 1970s, the internet started to be used by scientists and academics. They used it to share information and to collaborate on research projects. In the 1980s, the internet started to become more popular with the general public. This was thanks to the development of the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is a system of interconnected documents that are accessed via the internet. In the 1990s, the internet really took off. This was due to the development of web browsers, which made it easy for people to access the World Wide Web. The internet has had a huge impact on our lives. It has changed the way we communicate, the way we work, and the way we learn. It's an amazing tool that has made the world a smaller place.
