     Guests in August /g/
Craig.        I’ve just got a telegram from Margaret and Greg.
Carol.        Are they coming to England again?
Craig.        Yes. At the beginning of August.
Carol.        Good. We can all get together again.
Craig.        I’m glad they’re coming in August. We can take the dog
              and go for walks together.
Carol.        Yes. And we can give a garden party.
Craig.        And Margaret can play her guitar in the garden and
              sing Greek songs again.
Carol.        Yes. August is a good time to come to England.

       It’s expensive /s/
Sam.            Let’s go to the seaside on Saturday.
Alice.          Yes! Let’s go sailing and water-skiing. That’s exciting.
Sam.            It’s expensive too. Let’s just sit in the sun and go
                swimming instead.
Alice.          Let’s stay in the Six Star Hotel and spend Sunday
                there too.
Sam.            Be sensible, Alice. It’s too expensive. Let’s sleep
                outside instead.
Alice.          Yes. Let’s sleep on the sand. That’s more exciting.

      Surprises in the post office /z/
Mrs Smith.     This parcel smells, Mrs Jones.
Mrs Jones.     Something’s written on it.
Mrs Smith.     What does it say?
Mrs Jones.     It says. This parcel contains six mice.
Mrs Smith.     Pooh!
Mrs Jones.     Listen! What’s in this sack?
Mrs Smith.     It’s making a strange hissing noise.
Sack.          (hisses) Ssssssssssssssss!
Mrs Jones.     Mrs Smith! It’s a sack of snakes!
Mrs Smith.     So it is! And what’s in this box, Mrs Jones?
Mrs Jones.     It’s making a buzzing sound.
Box.           (buzzes) Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Mrs Smith.     These are bees!
