Script
Denis Cook often travels on business. Today he is going to the airport. He is going to the airport. He is going to catch at 9 o’clock plane. Before Denis leaves for airport he wants to be sure he has got everything. So he looks through his things and his papers. He has got money, his plane ticket, but he can’t see his passport. Denis tries to remember where it is. “Isn’t it in the kitchen? No, it isn’t. The living room? No, it isn’t there. Where is it? What about the bedroom?”
Denis runs upstairs to the first floor and sees his passport on a little table near the sofa. It’s time for him to leave. He has to hurry up. So he takes a taxi and goes to Heathrow airport.
Now Denis is at the airport. He is going to check in. there is often a queue at the check-in. In England people are usually polite in queues. They wait quietly for their turn to check in. Now it’s Denis’s turn to check in. he is speaking to the airport man:
- Good morning, sir. Have you got your ticket?
- Oh, yes. Here you are. Flight 355. Boston.
- Where is your luggage, sir? Is it all? That’s all right, sir. Where would you like to sit: smoking or non-smoking area?
- Non-smoking, please. And can I have a window seat, please?

- OK.

Reading Comprehension
English Reader V, Londoner’s London pp.57-58
Londoner’s London
Occupations
Londoners have all sorts of occupations. People with unusual occupations are the pavement artists ant the “shoeblackers”. The pavement artist finds a piece of pavement – perhaps near Trafalgar Square or the Tower of London – and draws pictures in coloured chalks for the people who pass by. he hopes, of course, that they will drop a penny or a sixpence into his hat.
The ‘shoeblack” usually cleans people’s shoes at the big stations. Most of his customers are businessmen.
Shops
People come from all over the world to go shopping in London. They come to buy clothes, for example, from the shops along Regent Street or Oxford Street, or buy antiques from the shops along Kensington Church Street or Portobello Road. Most Londoners go to shops, such as Marks and Spenser (for clothes), Woolworths (for food and most small household goods), Boots (for medicine, baby food and gifts), and Smiths (for books, records and stationery).
Restaurants
Most Londoners have just an hour for lunch, so a lot of them go into a pub, and have a sandwich and a glass of beer. Others go to a restaurant and eat sausages and chips, perhaps, or a steak and kidney pie and beans.
Homes
Every Londoner needs somewhere to live, of course! Lots of people live in flats: sometimes the flat is one floor of a house, sometimes it is a big block of flats.
When a person lives in one room, it is called a “bedsitter” ( a bed-sitting room): bedroom, sitting room and kitchen are all in one.
Roadstars
If, in the evening, are queueing outside a cinema or a theatre in the West End, or perhaps just going for a walk, you will probably see some of Londoners’ famous buskers. (A busker is a person who entertains people in the street for money.) Sometimes, the buskers are students who play guitars, or old men and women who play flutes and violins. But the most famous buskers of all are the Roadstars – who dance.
Queues
Londoners do a lot of queueing – especially if they want to catch a bus or go and see a good film. They don’t like queueing, of course, nobody does. The buskers sometimes make queueing quite interesting. In the middle of London, there are 34 cinemas and theatres, so there are always a lot of people standing in queues!
Read to the text and say if the sentences below are true or false:
1. People with unusual occupations are butchers and bakers.
2. The pavement artist draw pictures in colored chalks for the people who pass by.
3. Most Londoners go to shops along Regent or Oxford Street.
4. The usual food for Londoners at lunch time is porridge and a cup of tea.
5. When a person has one room in his/ her flat he/she is called a “bedsitter”.
6. A busker is a person who sells hotdogs in the street.
7. The buskers help to make the queueuing quite interesting.
8. There are 50 cinemas and theatres in the centre of London.
