Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse —it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy.
Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved.
Janet: Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that.
Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting.
Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that?
Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something —like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you!
Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do.
Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity.
Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that?
Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far?
Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ... We have to decide where the punt will start from.
Mark: Cherwell Boathouse, no question! It's a very beautiful route from here, apparently. Kate: I'm with you on that. Janet: Me too
Janet: I'm not used to boats —Woah!
Mark: Whoops!
Kate: Watch out! You nearly hit me with that thing!
Mark: Sorry! I didn't mean to. ... OK, we're off!
Kate: Maybe I should do the punting.
Mark:It's fine.I've got the hang of it now —give me a chance.
Kate: Well, I'd like to have a go. Mark: Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can take over for a while, if you want to.
Kate: Yes, great.
Janet: You're really good at it, Mark! This is fantastic! It's exactly how I imagined life here! Look over there —isn't it lovely!
Kate: Yes, it is.
Unit 1-Conversation 2
Janet: Kate, everything's organized, isn't it, for collecting the sponsorship money?
Kate: Yes, I've arranged for people to get the money to me by next Friday —if they haven't paid online. I'll count it all up.
Janet: Good. We'd better have a meeting soon after that, don't you think? How much have we raised? Kate: About 600.
Janet: Fantastic! I'm so enjoying this!
Mark: Hey guys, I've got a suggestion — how about moving over to the bank and we can have our picnic! Hey, look, there's Louise and Sophie!
Mark: Whoo ...
Girls: Mark!
