Grandmother fails test again
A sixty-eight-year-old grandmother from the South
Korean city of Jeonju has just failed her written
driving test for the 771st time. The womans name,
which was given only as Cha, first took the written
part of the exam in April 2005. At the time, she
thought it would help if she had a car for her job.
In the beginning, Cha went to the licence office
almost every day. Now, she no longer works but still
goes to the office once a week. The office said shes
spent more than 1,600 on exam fees.
You have to get at least sixty points to pass the
written part, said Kim Rahn, who wrote about Cha
in the Korea Times, an English-language daily
newspaper. She usually gets under fifty.
Bloggers have already responded to the news about
Mrs Chas misfortunes with comments that range
from sympathy to anger. One wrote, Theres a time
in every persons life when, if they fail something
over 700 times, they should stop.
Other bloggers complained about a system that
allows people to take a driving test so many times.
One man commented: Its not a very good system if
you can take the test as often as you want. I mean,
she might be a danger to other people even if she
passes the test after the 1,001st try.
Mrs Cha seems to be ignoring the bloggers. She said
that shed be back for another attempt. If she passes,
then she can begin to prepare for the practical test.

Excuse me. Do you have one of these green sweaters in a

smaller size?

B:

I think so. Just a moment ... Yes, here you are. I've got a
medium and a small.

A:

Oh, great. I think the medium will fit.

B:

Would you like to try it on? The fitting rooms over there.

A:

Oh no, it's not for me.

B:

Is it for your father?

A:

No, its for my boyfriend for his birthday. Ill take the medium,

A:

Excuse me. Is this the right way to the Globe Theatre?

B:

Not really, no. Go back down this road and turn right into Prince
Road.

A:

Turn right?

B:

Yes. Keep going until you get to Queen Street. Turn left into
Queen Street and you'll see the theatre on the right.

A:

Queen Street, turn left, on the right. That's very kind of you,
thank you.

B:

You're welcome.

A:

Why do I feel so tired all the time, Doctor?

B:

How long have you felt like this?

A:

Well, since I started my new job, I suppose.

B:

Do you sit in an office all day?

A:

Yes, I do actually in front of a computer!

B:

That must be it then. Why dont you go for a walk at lunchtime,

get some fresh air?

A:

That's a good idea I think Ill do that. Thank you, doctor.

A = Hotel receptionist

B = Major Brown

A:

Good morning. Hotel reception. Stewart speaking.

B:

Good morning. This is Major Brown, room 308.

A:

Hello, Major. How can I help you?

B:

I'm afraid I have a complaint.

A:

What's the problem, Major Brown?

B:

I ordered a full English breakfast in my room this morning, with

English tea.

A:

Was it late, sir?

B:

No, no, it was on time. But the eggs were cold and the sausages
were cooked too much they were almost black. I could hardly
cut them!

A:

I'm really sorry about this, sir. We have a new breakfast chef
that might be the reason. Shall I send up another breakfast?

B:

No, no. That won't be necessary. But please make sure it

doesn't happen tomorrow.

A:

Of course, Major. I'll go and talk to the chef immediately. Don't

worry, it won't happen again.

B:

I hope not. This is totally unacceptable ...

A:

B = Mrs Peters

Good...

B:

Good morning. This is Mrs Julia Peters, room 309. I'd like to
speak to the manager, please at once!

A:

Ah, good morning, Mrs Peters. This is Stuart in reception. I'm

sorry but the manager isn't here at the moment. Can I help?

B:

I hope so! I was woken up at 7 oclock this morning by a terrible

noise from room 308.

A:

A noise, madam? Was the TV too loud?

B:

Well, I thought that it must be the TV but then I went to the

bathroom and I could hear it more clearly. I realised it was a
man having a bath next door and singing at the top of his
voice. The worst part was that he couldnt sing at all it was
ghastly!

A:

Im sorry

B:

You really must do something about it or Ill have to move to

another hotel!

A:

Don't worry, Mrs Peters. Ill speak to the manager as soon as he

comes back. I'm sure hell look into it immediately.

B:

Id like to talk to him myself when is he expected back?

(sample answer)
In my opinion, technology will
continue to bring both positive and
negative changes to our lives. Most
people will be connected to the
Internet at home so more of them
will be able to work from home.
They won't have to travel to their
offices every day. This will reduce
the amount of traffic on the roads,
which will reduce pollution. On the
negative side, life will also get faster
and people will get even more
stressed. I hope that well find a way
of dealing with this stress and be
able to live with technology in a
healthier way.
