They will first learn some key differences in vocabulary related to staying at someone’s house. They will then listen to two dialogues and study some phrases about receiving guests and asking for permission.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPTS
Audio 1
Lucy: Hello Anand, come in. Let me take your coat.
Anand: Thank you. It’s a bit chilly out there.
Lucy: Yes, it’s not usually this cold at this time of year. How was your flight?
Anand: It was alright. A bit long, but no delays, luckily.
Lucy: Glad to hear that.
Anand: You have a lovely place.
Lucy: Thank you. It’s just been redecorated. Make yourself at home. I’ll take you to your room in a bit.
Anand: I brought you some Laddoo. It’s a special sweet from India.
Lucy: Oh, thank you. That’s very kind of you.
Lucy: I just made some coffee. Would you like some?
Anand: That would be nice, thank you.
Lucy: How do you like your coffee?
Anand: With just a splash of milk, please. No sugar.
Lucy: Here you are. Are you hungry at all?
Anand: No, I’m all right for now, thank you. I ate on the plane.
Lucy: Help yourself to a cookie then. It won't be long before dinner anyway.
Lucy: You’ll meet Rocío at dinner. She’s our other student, from Spain. She’s studying English at a language school.
Anand: Nice. What time is dinner again?
Lucy: At 7. There’s a booklet in your room with everything you need to know.
Anand: Great. Do you mind if I finish my coffee in my room? I’m exhausted!
Lucy: I can imagine! Yes, of course. Follow me. How many hours was the flight…[volume fading]

Lucy: How was your day at school, Rocío?
Rocío: It was great, thanks. Oh, I nearly forgot: would it be alright if I stayed out a bit later tomorrow? Some of my classmates are leaving next Saturday, and they’re having a little party.
Lucy: I’m afraid the school is very strict about time. I would need authorization from them. Can you get that for me?
Rocío: I’ll try. Oh, that reminds me: I need to print out some homework. Do you mind if I use your printer after dinner?
Lucy: Not at all. It’s a bit low on ink though. Let me know if it runs out.
Rocío: Sure. So, how long are you here for, Anand?
Anand: A full academic year, I’m finishing secondary school here.
Rocío: Cool! I’m only here for six weeks. I’ve got three more weeks to go now.
Lucy: Is it OK if I take your plate, Anand?
Anand: Hmm … actually, could I possibly have some more, please? It’s delicious!
Lucy: Of course, go ahead! Good! I was afraid you wouldn’t like American food.
Anand: I’m not picky with food at all. I do like food from home sometimes though. Would you mind if I cooked sometime? I could prepare food for everyone.
Lucy: Of course not, I love Indian food! And it gives me a day off in the kitchen! How would you like that, Rocío?
Rocío: I haven’t eaten much Indian food, but I’ll give it a try.
Anand: I’ll make sure I don’t make it too spicy then!
