Speaker 2: You know lice, the little insects that live in your hair? I had them
when I was seven. When I turned up at school with an extremely Grammar

Speaker 5: One morning, I woke up completely unable to speak. I had
laryngitis, a throat infection. It didn’t hurt and I felt OK, so I went 1

out on her balcony if it’s a nice day. That’s why you can hear it.
Woman: Why would anyone want to have a bird? It seems cruel to me, never
letting it out of a cage.
Man: Does it sound unhappy to you? It sings like that all day. My
neighbour lives by herself and she says it keeps her company. She
told me she sometimes lets it out of the cage and it lies round the
house. Apparently, it goes back to its cage on its own when
it’s had enough.
Woman: Really?
