            Unit 12  Track 12                                     Kyra:       And do you get very tired?
            Mollie:     Hi, Finlay. It’s Mollie.                  Bob:        Yes, but mainly because the day is very
            Finlay:     Hi, Mollie. How are you?                              long! We normally leave home at six thirty
            Mollie:     Fine. Look, I’m phoning to ask you about              and drive to the mountain. We get there
                        Hong Kong. We’re going there next week                about eight thirty am. This gives us thirty
                        and I know you lived there.                           minutes to get ready before everything

            Finlay:     Yes, I did. Well, you’ll fly to Hong Kong
                        International Airport. The people who live   Kyra:    Wow! And are you out all day?
                        there call it Chep Lap Kok airport.       Bob:        Yes, we are. Why don’t you come with us?
            Mollie:     Really? What transport should we use in               You’ll have an amazing time.
                        Hong Kong? A taxi?                        Kyra:       Yes, it sounds exciting but I think I might
            Finlay:     You must take a tram. They’re over a                  break my leg. I don’t think it’s a safe hobby.
                        hundred years old and they’ve got two
                        floors.                                    Unit 14  Track 14
            Mollie:     Amazing! Are they expensive?              Boy:        Hi, Annabelle! What are you reading?
            Finlay:     No, they’re really cheap. A ticket costs about   Annabelle:  It’s a postcard from my uncle. He’s a pilot
                        twenty pence for adults and ten pence for             and he often sends me a postcard when he
                        children.                                             flies to new places.
            Mollie:     What should we visit in Hong Kong?        Boy:        Does your aunt go with him?
            Finlay:     Oh, there’s a lot to see on the island, for   Annabelle:  No, she doesn’t and my uncle doesn’t send
                        example Ocean Park or the Science Museum              her postcards. She sometimes calls me to
                        but you shouldn’t miss the Hong Kong                  ask if my uncle has sent me a new postcard.
                        Museum of History. It’s my favourite place.  Boy:     Really? Has your cousin emailed you this
            Mollie:     What time does it open?                               week?
            Finlay:     I think it opens at ten am but I often went   Annabelle:  No, he never sends emails. He prefers to
                        there with my dad on Saturday afternoons              write his news on his blog.
                        about two o’clock.
                                                                  Boy:        Oh? Does your brother have a blog, too?
            Mollie:     How do we get there?                      Annabelle:  Yes, but he never writes anything. He often
            Finlay:     Take a bus to Chatham Road South. That’s              sends messages from his mobile.
                        C-H-A-T-H-A-M.
                                                                  Boy:        Oh yes, I remember your last birthday. We
            Mollie:     Thanks for your advice Finlay.                        were writing a letter in our French class
            Finlay:     That’s OK and have a great trip!                      when you got a message from your brother.
                                                                              The teacher was really angry.
            Unit 13  Track 13                                     Annabelle:  And my grandmother sent me that birthday
                                                                              card with a funny cartoon.
            Bob:        I’m going to buy some new clothes for
                        snowboarding tomorrow. We’re going to the   Boy:      You’re lucky. My grandmother just sends me
                        mountains on Saturday.                                a quick note.
            Kyra:       Lucky you! You went snowboarding last     Annabelle:  That’s just like my mum! She never calls
                        Friday, too!                                          anyone but she often leaves notes on the
                                                                              kitchen table.
            Bob:        Yes, I know. I love it.
            Kyra:       I’ve never been snowboarding. Is it difficult?
            Bob:        No, not really. I began skiing when I was
                        five years old and then I learnt to snowboard
                        about two years ago.
            Kyra:       Is it an expensive hobby?
