4. TRANSCRIPT
Oliver: So, how did it go? Did you pass?
Alfie: No, I failed ... again!
Oliver: I don’t believe it! How did you fail again? What
happened this time?
Alfie: You won’t believe it!
Oliver: No? No way, Alfie, not the same as last time?
Alfie: Yep.
Oliver: No way! Not another cat?
Alfie: I know! I’m in shock! I love cats!
Oliver: So, what happened?
Alfie: Well, I stopped at a zebra crossing to let an old
man cross the road. No problem there. He walked
across the road so I started to drive. Just then a cat
appeared from nowhere!
Oliver: Did you hit it?
Alfie: I did. It was impossible to stop.

5. TRANSCRIPT
Oliver: I don’t believe you, Alfie. You’re joking, aren’t
you? You didn’t fail, did you? Nobody can kill two cats
on two driving tests!
Alfie: What can I say? I know - it’s totally crazy. The
owner of the cat arrived ...
Oliver: Oh no ... and?
Alfie: Well, he said it wasn’t my fault, the cat escaped
from the garden ... the driving instructor agreed too.
So, we carried on with the test, but I was too nervous
and I crossed a red traffic light.
Oliver: Poor you, mate! Do you want to come over?
Alfie: Yeah, OK. See you in five minutes.
