A dialogue“ The best way to learn Spanish”
A: So, we’ re agreed that we both want to learn Spanish this year? How about spending a month in Spain this summer? We could stay with a Spanish family. B: I don’ t think that would be the best solution for us. It would cost far too much to fly over to Spain and I think we ought to learn some language before we go to the country. A: Well, what else do you suggest? B: We could buy a‘ teach yourself’ pack and teach ourselves in our spare time. A: But, I don’ t think I would have the motivation to teach myself! Why don’ t we go to an evening class a few nights a week? B: I wouldn’ t be able to attend a course like that ― I also have football training, remember! But we could find ourselves a private tutor and get a couple of lessons together every week. A: That would be great!

A dialogue A strange dream
A: I had a strange dream last night. All I can remember is that I was locked in a room all by myself and I had to sit an exam. I wasn’ t allowed to leave until I was finished, but I had no idea what it was about. I felt very alone and afraid. Do you have any idea what it means? B: Well, it could mean you are stressed and that’ s why you dreamt that. A: Do you really think so? B: Yes. Try not to let things get to you and relax before sleeping. A: That’ s a thought.
