- a) Read the first two exchanges in the dialogue. Where does the conversation take place? What do you think Bobwants? Listen and read to check.
Bob: Can I have a word with you for a minute, please?
Tom: Sure. What is it?
Bob: Well, it’s about your rubbish bin actually.
Tom: What’s the problem?
Bob: Well, I’m sorry to say this, but it stinks and I just can’t put up with it any more.
Tom: It’s full of rubbish! What do you expect?
Bob: You could put your rubbish in a bag first, so it smells less. That’s what I do.
Tom: But bin bags cost money! It doesn’t cost me anything to throw my rubbish straight into the bin.
Bob: Yes. I appreciate that, but the smell is offensive and very annoying. It drives me crazy!
Tom: I see. Sorry about that.
Bob: Also, the smell attracts flies and other insects, so it could become a health risk.
Tom: That’s a fair point. OK. I’ll use bin bags from now on.
Bob: Thanks.
- b) Read the dialogue again and answer the questions.

- What is Tom’s first reaction to Bob’s suggestion?
- How does Bob persuade Tom to do what he wants?
- The conversation takes place outside near Tom’s rubbish bin, likely in a shared residential area such as a neighborhood or apartment complex.
- Bob wants Tom to use bin bags inside his rubbish bin to reduce the bad smell and prevent flies and insects, which Bob finds very annoying and a potential health risk.
- The bad smell coming from Tom’s rubbish bin is annoying Bob.
- Tom is initially defensive and says the bin is full of rubbish, so the smell is expected.
- Bob suggests that Tom should put his rubbish in bin bags before putting it in the bin to reduce the smell.
- Tom objects because bin bags cost money, and throwing rubbish directly into the bin is free.
- Bob explains that the smell is offensive, annoying, and attracts flies and insects, which could be a health risk. This convinces Tom to agree to use bin bags.
