[00:09.61]Dialogue 1:
[00:16.74]--Can I help you, sir?
[00:19.15]--We want a meal.
[00:20.56]--What sort of meal? A hot one or a cold one?
[00:24.08]--A salad, I think.
[00:25.91]--Which one, sir? A ham or a beef salad?

[01:05.85]Dialogue 3:
[01:11.26]--Do you like your salad?
[01:14.87]--Yes. It's nice and fresh. Is yours good, too?

[01:36.71]--Thank you again, but look, John's bringing me one now.
[01:39.97]--I don't seem to be very useful, do I?

[01:48.20]B. Restaurant English:

[02:02.54]Would you like me to bring you something else? Some coffee?
[02:08.26]Dialogue 2:
[02:10.53]Man: Waiter, this table-cloth is a disgrace. It's covered with soup stains.
[02:15.99]Waiter: Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. It should have been changed before.
[02:19.49]If you'll just wait one moment ...
[02:24.46]Dialogue 3:

[02:34.38]add up to one hundred and seventy-seven marks fifty pennies.
[02:37.18]Waiter: One moment, I'll just check it, sir. You're quite right, sir.
[02:42.22]I can't understand how such a mistake could have been made. I do apologize, sir.
[02:49.35]Section Two:
[02:51.49]A. Discussing Past Events:
[02:57.16]Interviewer: Now let's go back to your first novel, Rag Doll. When did you write that?
[03:02.26]Writer: Rag Doll, yes. I wrote that in 1960, a year after I left school.
[03:06.96]Interviewer: How old were you then?
[03:08.81]Writer: Urn, eighteen? Yes,eighteen, because a year later I went to Indonesia.
[03:12.13]Interviewer: Mm. And of course it was your experience in Indonesia that inspired your film Eastern Moon.
[03:17.64]Writer: Yes, that's right, although I didn't actually make Eastern Moon until 1978.
[03:21.69]Interviewer: And you worked in television for a time too.
[03:23.76]Writer: Yes, I started making documentaries for television in 1973,when I was thirty.
[03:28.01]That was after I gave up farming.
[03:29.55]Interviewer: Farming?
[03:30.63]Writer: Yes, that's right. You see, I stayed in Indonesia for eight years. I met my wife there in 1965,
[03:36.53]and after we came back we bought a farm in the West of England, in 1970. A kind of experiment, really.
[03:41.60]Interviewer: But you gave it up three years later.
[03:42.69]Writer: Well, yes. You see it was very hard work, and I was also very busy working on my second novel, The Cold Earth, which came out in 1975.
[03:41.69]Interviewer: Yes, that was a best--seller, wasn't it?
[03:43.71]Writer: Yes, it was, and that's why only two years after that I was able to give up television work and concentrate on films and that sort of thing. And after that ...

[06:37.26]A: But you're just fight for each other, from what you told me.(Pause)
[06:40.76]B: Yes... I see what you mean.
[06:43.38]C: I suppose it's true. You are what I'm looking for.
[06:46.85]B: Oh, darling. Why did we ever leave each other?
[06:50.38]C: I don't know, but it's not too late, is it?
