W: H i, David. Haven’t seen you for ages. How are you getting along with your work?
M: Hi, Susan. Not so well as expected. I’ve left my position. I can’t bear the rudeness of my boss any longer.
W: What are you going to do then?
M: No idea. Anyway, I’ve got to think about it seriously. And you?
W: I’ve been very successful as a dancer. I like this kind of life. It is so exciting.
M: You can’t do it for ever.

W: Yes, and I’ve also been back to the shopping center.

Good evening! Tonight the main news is about the bad weather we are having. Storms are reported in all parts of the country. In the north many roads are closed because of high winds. Two main roads near Glasgow are blocked by trees. In the south too, heavy rains and storms are reported. Near Dover fifty houses have been flooded and last night a lorry was blown over by the wind. In the east, quite a few areas have been flooded. Many small boats have been lost and this morning one boat was found two miles in land. Things are better in the west. But two villages had been flooded by a river. Four people nearly drowned in the flood. No storms are expected tomorrow.
