C; 7. A; 8. B. Tapescript Woman George Come here quickly Two men are having a fight George Where? Woman Just round the corner, I saw two men fighting in the street two minutes ago. George Calm down, Jessica. Let’s go and see. Jessica There weren’t many people in the street. Suddenly, two men started fighting. A big man was hitting a little man. The little man fell down. Look There they are. The big man is running away. Narrator George looked down at the man on the ground. The little man did not move. Just then, a taxi came along the street. George Taxi Taxi Stop This man can’t move. He must be taken to hospital. Taxi driver OK Put him in the back of the taxi. George Here we are. Go to the hospital quickly. Oh, dear. The man must be dead. Come on, come on, say something. Jessica Maybe he has fainted. We should try to wake him up. Narrator As soon as they reached the hospital, George, Jessica, and the taxi driver carried the man inside, and a doctor looked at him. Doctor He isn’t moving. But his heart’s betting. Man I’m alive I’m alive Thank you all. George Thank God. I was scared. But who is the man who hit you? Man Well, he’s a rich man with lots of money. He makes money with his dirty business. I think he has something to do with drugs. But the police can’t get him because they don’t have proof. As I’ve got no money at all. I thought that, for a sense of justice, he should have given me some. George Did you ask him for the money? Man Yes, but he said I should get it somewhere else. So while he was reading a paper near the book-shop, I slowly tried to take his wallet out of his pocket. Jessica You’re a thief, then Man Never done it before. Believe me. I was desperate. But the big man found out what I was trying to do and he started hitting me. He nearly killed me. Doctor Now, I have to tell everything to the police. Man Oh, no Take all the information about me, but don’t tell the police, please My wife and children will certainly suffer if they find out what I did. I beg you, doctor. I promise. I’ll never do that again. Once was enough George OK. But what about the big man who hit you? He may go to the police station and declare what happened. Man He won’t do that. I told you. He’s the real thief ORAL PRODUCTION A. Possible dialogue: A: Are there many shoes on the stalls? B: Yes, there are. And what about bags?
