She’ll be good company for your daughter as they seem to get on really well, don’t they? They certainly did at the celebration for Ben’s birthday last week! Do you know where you’re going yet? I heard it was either the beach or the park. Sally hopes it’s the park because she loves the little café near the swimming pool. As the coach leaves the school at 9.00, I could drop Sally off at your house at, say, 8.30 if you want. Anyway, let me know what you think. 📻 Listening script 2: Hi. It’s Tim. I’m calling about Thursday. I had to cancel my trip to London and queue for four hours to get the tickets. But the great thing is... I got front row seats. They were a bit more expensive, but at least we’ll be able to see the band. Anyway, it’s at the Arena at 8.30. Let’s go for a coffee first, say at 7.45. The theatre is quite big and there’ll be lots of people outside, so I’ll wait for you at the ticket office instead. By the way, I’m bringing my brother Jack. He has all their CDs and is looking forward to seeing them live at last. See you then.
