THINK SECOND EDITION STUDENT'S BOOK 2 By Herbert Puchta, Jeff Stranks & Peter Lewis-Jones

Page 5 exercise 9 and 10 It will be a cold day in the north of the country with temperatures around 8 degrees Celsius in Manchester. It gets better the further south we go. In Birmingham it will feel quite warm with maximum temperatures of 16 degrees Celsius, and in London it could get up to 20 degrees Celsius, which is very hot for this time of year. The skies over London will be clear and sunny with very few clouds. It might even feel a little humid. It will also be dry in Birmingham, but it will be a little cloudy at times, too. But back up north, I'm afraid it's not going to be a very nice day. It will be very windy in Manchester, and those winds will bring a lot of rain. So if you have to go out on this rainy day, don't forget your raincoat and umbrella. It will be very wet. Page 5 exercise 13 So tell me more about your family. I know you have two little brothers. Yes, Peter and Lawrence. They're twins. Twins! Yes, they're lots of fun. And you live with your mum. Yes, she's called Lynne. She's really cool. What about your dad? My parents are divorced, and my dad doesn't live near us. Ah, I see. But it's no problem. I've got loads of other relatives close by. My mum's got two brothers, Steve and Tony. My uncle Tony's not married but uncle Steve is. His wife's called Mary. They're really nice. And they've got three children – all girls. Hemi, Claire and Becca. They live just down the road so we see them all the time. That's nice. And then there's my grandad, Harry. He's fun. He's like a second dad to me. And he only lives about five minutes away. But anyway, what about your family? Tell me all about your brothers and sisters. My family? Have you got a few hours?!

Page 6 exercise 2 Have you ever met a famous person? Yes, I have. Millie Bobby Brown. Really! Where? When? It was last summer. We were on holiday in LA. We were walking out of a restaurant when she walked in. Did you say anything to her? Yes, I did. I asked her for a selfie. Did she give you one? Well, I realised that I didn't have my phone with me, so she signed a book that I was carrying. What book was it? It was my English course book, believe it or not. I had it with me to help me with my English.

Page 8 exercise 1 Morning. Can I help you? Yes, please. Um, I want some onions. OK, how many? Two large ones, please. And can I have some mushrooms, too? About half a kilo? OK, sure. Anything else? Oh, yes – tomatoes. A kilo of tomatoes, please. And some chillies. Sorry, we haven't got any chillies today. Maybe try the supermarket across the street. OK, thanks. So, here are your tomatoes. Are you making something special tonight? Yes, I'm going to make a vegetable curry. I had one in an Indian restaurant last week so I thought I'd try and make one, too. What about lemons? Lemon juice is usually good in a curry. That's a good idea! But I don't need any. I've already got lemons at home. So, how much is that? Let's see. That's £4.15, please. Here you are – £5. And 85p change. Thanks. Enjoy your dinner! Page 9 exercise 5 Good evening! Welcome to Luigi's. Hello. A table for two, please. A table for two? This way, please. Can we see the menu, please? Of course. Here you are. Are you ready to order? Just one question. What soup have you got today? Today's soup is our special vegetable soup. Great, so we'd like the soup to start and then the chicken, please. Thank you. Is everything OK? Hmmm, no, not really. This soup is too cold! I'm so sorry, I'll change it for you. Wow, it's very noisy here. There are too many people. I know, it's awful. And the food ... ugh! Let's go! Excuse me! Can we have the bill, please? No coffee or dessert? No, thanks. We're leaving! Page 9 exercise 9 and 10 1 Hello. How much are these jeans, please? 49.99. And we've got them in five different styles. Cool. Can I try some on, please? Of course, which style do you want to try first? 2 Can I help you? Yes, I want to send this letter to Canada, please – as quickly as possible. OK. That's express, then. So you have to fill in this form, OK? OK. 3 Can I have these two, please? Of course. Oh! Did you know that there's a special offer? If you buy three books, you don't have to pay for the third one. Buy three, pay for two. Do you want to get another one? Oh, right. I'll go and have a look. Thank you! 4 Can I try these trainers, please? I'm running in a half-marathon soon! OK. They're 65 pounds. Please remember that you have to wear them two or three times before you run a race, OK? Yes, I know that, thanks. 5 Hi. Just a cup of black coffee, please. No milk. Sure. There are a lot of people here today! It was a really long queue. Yes, that's right. But did you know there's a machine over there? You don't have to wait in a queue. You can use the machine to pay. Oh, I didn't know that. Is it new?

Page 11 exercise 7 Hey, Connor. What time are you arriving on Saturday? 3.15 – I'm going to catch the two o'clock train from Liverpool. Ah, OK. 3.15 is difficult for me. Is it OK if I don't meet you at the station? Of course. I can walk. No problem. Well, sometimes the train's late. If it's late, I'll meet you. OK. As soon as the train leaves Liverpool, I'll send you a text message. Great idea. OK, see you soon. We're going to have a lot of fun this weekend! I know. It's going to be great!
