Unit 5: Compare ideas for a present

Shaun: How long will you be, Gemma?
           Can we go now?
Gemma: Not yet. I'm looking for a poster for my dad. He's into art.
Shaun: Can I see?
Gemma: Yes. What do you think of this?
Shaun: It's OK. Who's it by?
Gemma:This one's by van Gogh. It's called Starry Night.
Shaun: That one's better.
Gemma: Do you think so?
Shaun: Yes, it's more interesting. The other one's a bit dark.
Gemma: Yes, I think you're right. Thanks, Shaun.

Unit 4: Express interest

Leah: That's amazing! Is that your photo, Shaun?
Shaun: Yes, do you like it?
Leah: Yeah. Where were you when you saw that?
Shaun: I was on holiday in Madrid. These people were doing tricks on their skateboards.
Leah: Really? Why were they doing that?
Shaun: It was a show.
Leah: Did you try it?
Shaun: You're kidding! I can't skaboard.
Leah: Yeah, well it's a great photo. Well done!

Lady Gaga

The rumour is that Lady Gaga has called her new album ARTPOP, which must be written in capitals. ARTPOP is "pop art" in reverse. Gaga is a big fan of pop art, a 1950s art movement which transformed ordinary objects, like a can of soup, into art. She is fascinated by pop artist Andy Warhol, who died in 1987. She says that he speaks to her in her dreams!

The Host

This is the film of a book by Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series.
There are no vampires this time - Earth has been infiltrated by parasitic aliens called "souls", which possess humans. There's a love story, of course, between a boy and a "soul". Twilight fans will be happy!

9. Write a dialogue for a story

Alba: Laia, Laia! Can you hear me? I need your help!

Laia: Alba? Where are you? What's happened?

Alba: I'm by the river. I was sailing when suddenly my boat sank because it had a hole. I think it is because I hid a rock by accident.

Laia: Don't panic. I will call the coastguard. Are you injured?

Alba: Ok but hurry up! I hurt my leg.

Laia: Hang ok, we will come to help you soon.

Alba: Laia!

Laia: Now, what's happening?
