Answer Key
Reading: A Trip on the Orient Express

Tomorrow, we are taking the Orient Express to Venice. We will
board a train at Victoria Station at around eight oclock. The train
departs from the station at a quarter to eleven in the morning.
We will have brunch on the train. After crossing the English
Channel, we will change trains and board the brown and white
Orient Express train. We will have dinner while we are traveling
to Paris. We will arrive in Paris at about a quarter past nine in
the evening, but we will not have time to leave the train.
We will sleep in our compartment on the train. When we get up the next day, we will have
breakfast in our cabin, while we are traveling through the Swiss Alps. We will arrive in Innsbruck,
Austria, at about a quarter to twelve and leave about a half-hour later. In the afternoon, after
lunch, we will travel through the Italian Dolomites. The staff will serve afternoon tea as we are
going over the Brenner Pass. We will arrive in Venice at 5:55 p.m.

Condominium living
In the United States, certain kinds of apartments are sometimes called condominiums
or condos, for short. Each condo is owned separately, but common areas like the lobby,
exercise room, or swimming pool are owned by the condominium association. Each
owner pays a fee to cover the cost of the common areas. The owners either live in their
condo or rent it out to other people.

the toy was so popular that the Toltoys Company began making them from plastic. The American company,
Wham-O, made the toy internationally famous when they began marketing their hula hoops in 1958. Wham-O
sold over 100 million hoops in less than two years. Today, hula hoops come in many colors and sizes, and

take care of them until they grow up. If players dont take care of the eggs, they can get sick or

appear on gaming systems such as Nintendo DS and the companys Tama Town website.

You live in New York City, but your company is sending you to another
country for a three-year project. You have a beautiful apartment in New
York, but you dont want to leave it empty for three years. Last week you
put this ad on the HomeFinder website:
Beautiful High-Rise Apartment for Rent
Address: 1106 River Street, Roosevelt Island
Furnished, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living room, large kitchen.
Apartment on 14th floor. Nice view of the East River, near good
schools, shops. Convenient to Manhattan via subway. 3-year rental
contract, $5500 / month. Owner: B. Davis (212) 555-0963
Now you think it might be better to sell the apartment instead. You would
like to sell it for $940,000. You are going to take the ad off the HomeFinder
website this evening.
Your phone is ringing. Answer it.

One of your friends just bought her / his first smart phone. He / She told you
that he / she doesnt know how to use it. You have a smart phone, and, of course,
you know how to use it. Explain some of the phones functions to your friend.

Well, Mr. Hammond, you are a little out of shape.
Do I have to go on a diet?
If you want to lose weight, you have to eat a
healthy diet. By that I mean a diet with plenty
of fruit and vegetables and not so much meat,
bread, and pasta.
But I really like pasta.
Well, you can eat pasta, just not too much.
Can I drink coffee?
Yes, without sugar.
And do I have to exercise?
Exercise is important if you want to lose weight
and get in shape. You dont like exercise?
I dont like gyms.
Why dont you try exercising outdoors? You can
go biking or even just walking thirty minutes a
day. You will feel better.

Theyre very friendly.
Would you like me to show you around?

Well, this is the kitchen, and theres the dining
room.

See?
How nice. Id love to have an extra room for an
office or a study.
Heres the bathroom in case youre looking for

it later.
Thank you. Where do these stairs go?
