Текст к части 1 (аудирование)

- Hey, Jane! Have you got a minute? Listen, Simon's just told me you've got some special free tickets for the Guns N' Roses concert in December.

- Yes, that's right. Why are you asking and how do you know? I only told a few girls and asked them to keep quiet about it.

- Yes, well, you know how people talk. Anyway, it's great news. I want to come too.

- Sorry, Tom. No boys allowed.

- What? Only girls? That's ridiculous. Why can't we come with you?

- We? I thought it was just you who wanted to come. Who is we then?

- Well, me, Bill, John, Simon, of course, and may be Jim and Alex.

- No, we girls have decided not to have any boys with us. Boys are too noisy and always making trouble. We don't want any of that. Thanks very much.

-I promise we won't make trouble. We were perhaps a little noisy on the trip last year. Now we are older and anyway that was only a school trip. This is more important. I promise we'll be good. I'll even organize transport for us to the concert and back.

- Really? We'd need a bus to take us all, Tom.

- Exactly. Alex's dad has a mini bus. Remember, he has a small transport company. I know he would be happy to drive us all.

- You've planned everything, haven't you?

- Well, I don't want to miss the concert. Say yes, Jane, you won't be sorry, please.

- Well, the girls are going to be furious but you have been very convincing. Oh, OK, you can come then. But I really only have five extra tickets. So you'll have to decide which of the boys can come and which can't.

- Oh, thanks, Jane. You are a friend. I'll never forget it.

- Yes, yes, all right, but just remember, if there's any trouble I'll kill you!
