Everyday dialogues: shopping, directions, small talk and phone calls.
These exercises are short dialogues between two or more speakers in real situations: chatting with a neighbour, asking for directions, ordering coffee, making a phone call or arranging to meet friends. Listening to conversations is harder than listening to one speaker reading, because people change turns quickly and use informal, spoken English.
Before typing, listen once and decide who is speaking and what they want. Then type line by line. Contractions are a common mistake — if you hear "I'd", decide whether it means "I would" or "I had" from the rest of the sentence.
