Sorry guys, I apologise for not responding sooner. I hadn't understood the request. Now I understand! It seems there is an issue with the automatic captions (subtitles). Anyway, here is the Transcript: Double X: You wanted to see me, Mrs Seymour? Seymour: Yes, come in, Double X. I have an important mission for you. I want you to follow a man and find out all about him. If you find him, I’ll be extremely pleased. Double X: Who is he? Seymour: If I knew that, I wouldn’t be giving you this job! Here’s a photo of him. Double X: But this is all out of focus. It’s impossible to tell what he looks like. Seymour: If we had a better picture, we’d give it to you. Anyway, we’ve had an anonymous tip-off, so we know he’s a spy and we know he works in London. Double X: Didn’t your source tell you who he works for? Seymour: If she’d told us that, I wouldn’t have needed to ask for your help. Double X: So the source is a woman? Seymour: Yes. She phoned and then sent us this photo through the post. But we couldn’t trace her number. Double X: That’s bad. It would give me somewhere to start if I knew her phone number. It’s a pity we haven’t got a better photo - it’s just a man standing beside a door. Seymour: It is a bit clearer if you look at it with your eyes half closed. Double X: Hmmm. Wait a minute. There’s a number on the door. Forty-two. Oh no! It can’t be. But it is. Seymour: What? What is it? Double X: Well, this is very embarrassing. But I’m afraid that’s my front door. And the man standing outside it is … me!

Awesome listening!! For those who need the transcript: A: Good morning Adina, please, have a seat. B: Thank you Mrs Scott. A: Okay, so you would like a job in my souvenir shop foe six months. B: Yes, I’ve finished school and I want to work and travel before I go to university next year. When I finish working here, I’ll probably travel abroad, that’s why I want to earn some money. A: I see. Well, you know the weges aren’t very high but if you work here on Sundays you’ll earn extra money and we close at six, so your evenings will be free if you work here. Have you worked in a shop before? B: Yes, well, the camera shop. Do you know it? The one near the park. A: Oh right, yes, I know the owner, Simon Brown, isn’t he? So Adina, what’s the most important thing about working in a shop? B: You have to serve people quickly, customers get annoyed if they have to wait. A: That’s quite right. B: And you also have to smile and be friendly A: If the shop assistants aren’t friendly the shop loses his customers. B: Yes. A: If I phone the camera shop, will Simon recommend you? B: Yes, I think so. A: Okay, you’ll start work on Monday unless I phone you. I just want to have a quick chat with Simon first but I'm sure everything will be fine. You can start on Monday? B: Oh yes, what time do I need to be here? A: If I don’t phone you tomorrow, you’ll start 9 o’clock. B: Okay, thanks very much. A: So, what about this trip you want the money for, where did you plan to go? B: Well if I save 2000 pounds I’ll go to South America, but if not, I mean, if I don’t save as much as that, I’ll go ‘round Europe. A: Oh, that’s sounds very exciting! B: I hope it will be! A: I’m sure it will. So, okay, that’s it for now. B: Thanks, goodbye. A: Bye!
Oh my God, a neighbour like this girl is a nightmare. I feel sorry for the sax man... it's not always possible to accommodate our instrument playing, but it's good to try to soundproof a little room. Unfortunately it cannot be easily done when you rent.

Tranquilo, Osquitar, no lo hagas. Ven te pongo de una vez el uno, reprobado o insuficiente y ve y disfruta de tu "merecido" descanso por adelantado, mientras le escribo la nota a tus padres que perdiste el taller o el quiz.
Of course! the recording comes from the book - Grammar and Vocabulary for First and First for Schools Book with Answers - Cambridge University Press; 2° edition - 2015. It can be purchased on amazon.
