Martin: Dad, What's the matter? You look terrible. Did you have a
car accident?
Dad: Well... not exactly... but this morning... It was that...
Martin: What? You look as if you've been beaten up. Did anyone
try to rob you?
Dad: Oh, no!... You know... This morning I went to deliver milk in
Green Lane and the garden gate of No. 12 was locked. There was
a note on the door of the house and I thought I couldn't read it
from where I was.
Martin: And then? What happened next?
Dad: I jumped over the fence and went towards the door and,
suddenly... as I was...
Martin: And suddenly what? Did you slip or something?
Dad: No, but I was trying to read that note when I heard an awful
bark and a huge dog rushed at me. You know... it was really big!
Martin: Oh, dear! It must have been one of those fierce, ugly
dogs... A bulldog I suppose...
Dad: Exactly! It was a bulldog. A terrible dog!
Martin: And what did you do?

Jack: I am glad to hear that. Listen, are you very busy next week?
Elizabeth: No, not really, why?
Jack: Well, my cousin Lilas coming over to visit. I was wondering
if you would like to help me show her the sights of London?
Elizabeth: Oh, that would be great! Id love to. Where does Lila
come from, somewhere in Europe?
Jack: Yes, shes from a town called Kranidi, in Greece.
Elizabeth: So, tell me about Lila. Has she been to London before?
Jack: Yes, she came to visit me last year for a month.
Elizabeth: Is she staying for a month again?
Jack: No, shes just here for a fortnight; she has to go back and
start her college course.
Elizabeth: When does she arrive?
Jack: Let me just check my diary.... . She lands at ... Heathrow airport, terminal two on the 23rd of July. Her flight number is OA248.
I need to check the internet to see what time she lands.
Elizabeth: I know! Lets take her to see the London Eye, or the
Beefeaters, first. We could even go to Madame Tussaud's to see
the wax works.
Jack: Well, Lila told me she should arrive at my house around
three thirty in the afternoon. I was thinking of taking her to a
show at the Broadway theatre that evening.
Elizabeth: What a great idea! I know theres a new musical show
called Darkness opening on the 23rd. Ill call and book some tickets for the evening show.
Jack: Would you? That would be a real help. I saw in the newspaper that the theatre had tickets for 25 pounds.
Elizabeth: Jack, remind me again how to get to the theatre.
Jack: Ok, catch the tube to Piccadilly Circus. Walk down Georges
street, turn left at the traffic lights. The theatre is on your left between the bank and the King Arms pub.
Elizabeth: Oh, yes. I remember now. We could always go to the
King Arms for something to eat and drink after the show.
Jack: What a good idea! Im sure Lila will be very hungry after all
that travelling.
Elizabeth: Does Lila have any other relatives in London? Or in Liverpool, maybe?
Jack: No, but her grandparents live in Leeds. In fact, we might
catch the train and visit.

drop to 22C.
Sam: Mm! Good! It won't be very cold...

you. Stockholm will be very cold...

see the River Thames, the County Hall and Jubilee Gardens marked
on it?

Waterloo tube station. Draw a circle with a cross in it to mark the
London Eye.

missing?
Jack: Ah yes. Its the Houses of Parliament. This is on the opposite side of the River Thames to the London Eye. Its just below
the Westminster Bridge. Draw a box with a cross in it to mark the
Houses of Parliament.
Lila: Right, thats done. Jack, what tube line do I need to catch to
get to your house?
Jack: Ok, catch the red line and get off at Tottenham Court Road
station. From there, catch the 11B bus. Remember the B as there
is also an 11A and 11C bus.
Lila: Ok, thats fine. I should arrive at your house around
three thirty if Im not delayed.
Jack: Im really pleased you are coming to stay! I have planned a
night out at the Broadway theatre when you arrive.
Lila: I love going to the theatre. What time does the show start?
Jack: I think at 8:30pm. But we need to meet my friend Elizabeth
at 7:45.
Lila: Do I need to dress formally for the theatre?
Jack: No, not really. Just something smart but casual.
Lila: Like a skirt and a blouse?
Jack: Yeah! Im sure that will be fine. What other sights would you
like to see?
Lila: I have always wanted to go to the Tate Modern. I love art
galleries; it will really help me with my college course.

M: This is Jumping Jack reporting for e-zee radio traffic and
weather.
W: Jack, whats the current situation on the roads out there?
M: Well, on the A52 we have a big traffic jam and on the A64 we
have a broken down lorry blocking the exits for the M1.
W: So we should advise all our listeners to avoid these roads if
they can?
M: Yes! As it is a national holiday theres a lot of people wanting
to travel. All road users should try and use alternative routes.
W: Which roads do you suggest they use? Or should we advise
our listeners to take the train instead?
M: Umm, no. Although the motorway certainly looks very busy, I
think those travelling west to the beach should be ok.
W: Right; so, if any of our listeners out there are travelling to the
beach, they should take the motorway west.
M: Yes, Maggie, thats right.
