     Sports report from Channel 4 /î:/
Announcer.    This morning the Roarers football team arrived back
              from York. Paul Short is our sports reporter, and he
              was at the airport.
Paul Short. Good morning. This is Paul Short. All the footballers
              are walking towards me. Here’s George Ball, the goal
              keeper. Good morning, George.
George Ball. Good morning. Are you a reporter?
Paul Short. Yes. I’m from Channel 4. Please tell our audience about
              the football Match with York.
George Ball. Well, it was awful. We lost. And the score was four,
              forty-four. But it wasn’t my fault.
Paul Short. Whose fault was it?
George Ball. The forwards.
Paul Short. The forwards?
George Ball. Yes. The forwards. They were always falling down or
              losing the ball!

     A lost book /u/
Mr Cook.      Woman! Could you tell me where you’ve put my book?
Mrs Cook.     Isn’t it on the bookshelf?
Mr Cook.      No. The bookshelf is full of your cookery books.
Mrs Cook.     Then you should look in the bedroom, shouldn’t you?
Mr Cook.      I’ve looked. You took that book and put it somewhere,
              didn’t you?
Mrs Cook.     The living-room?
Mr Cook.      No. I’ve looked. I’m going to put all my books in a box
              and lock it!
Mrs Cook.     Look, Mr Cook! It’s on the floor next to your foot.
Mr Cook.      Ah! Good!
