Conversation One
W: Tell me, Peter, what makes Harrods so famous?
M: Well, it's the biggest department store in the UK,
and its Food Hall and Egyptian Hall are very famous.
People come to Harrods just to see them.
W: What is special about the Food Hall?
M: It sells many different kinds of food. For example,
it has 250 kinds of cheese from all over the world,
and more than 180 kinds of bread.
Customers also love all the different kinds of chocolate.
They buy 100 tons every year.
W: That's amazing, and why is the Egyptian Hall so famous?
M: Well, when people see it they feel they're in another world.
It looks like an Egyptian building from 4 000 years ago,
and it sells beautiful objects. They are not 4 000 years old, of course.
W: Is it true that Harrods produces its own electricity?
M: Yes, it does. 70%, enough for a small town.
To light the outside of the building, we use 11 500 light bulbs.
W: Really? Tell me, how many customers do you have on an average day?
And how much do they spend?
M: About 30 000 people come on an average day.
But during the sales, the number increases to 300 000 customers a day.
How much do they spend? Well, on average,
customers spend about 1.5 million pounds a day.
The record for one day is 9 million pounds.
W: 9 million pounds in one day?
M: Yes, on the first day of the January sales.
W: Harrods says it sells everything to everybody everywhere,
is that really true?
M: Oh, yes, of course. Absolutely everything.

Conversation Two
W: Hi, Kevin.
M: Hi, Lora, long time no see. What have you been up to lately?
W: Not much, I can assure you. And you?
M: Much the same except I do have some big news.
W: Come on, this suspense is killing me.
M: No, really, what have you been doing these past few weeks?
The last time I saw you, you were looking for a new job.
W: Well, that's not exactly true. I was thinking about changing jobs.
Luckily, they offered me a new position in the accounting department.
M: A step up in the big business world.
W: I wouldn't exaggerate, but I'm pleased.
I had been hoping to get a promotion for a while,
so when it finally came through I was relieved. Actually,
that's why I was looking for a new job.
I just didn't want to work there anymore
if they weren't going to recognize my efforts.
M: Right, sometimes you can do your best
and it seems like the others don't know you exist.
I hope the money is better.
W: I got a reasonable raise. Now, enough about me.
I'm dying to hear your news.
M: I'm getting married.
W: No, you said you'd never get married.
M: That was then, and this is now.
You've got to meet Andrea. She is great.
W: This is all news to me. I didn't even know you were dating.
M: We weren't. We've just been dating for two weeks now.
W: And you are getting married?
M: I know. I can't help it. I just know she is the one.
W: Well, congratulations! That's fantastic.
M: Thanks, I'm glad to hear you feel that way.
