1    Workers at Britain's third largest oil refinery,
2    are picketing the plant for the third day running.
3    Supporters have arrived from elsewhere ...
4    and the protest has spread to steel plants further north.
5    Going to bed now?
6    Finish your work already?
7    Want to go to the movie with us?
8    Never trouble trouble til trouble troubles you.
9    Light travels faster than sound.
10    That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
11    Out of small acorns grow mighty oaks.

Unit 176 Part B English

    1    May I use your mobile for a second?
    2    You may leave your name at the reception.
    3    In any case, she should do well on the test.
    4    You'd better be on time, or we'll start without you.
    5    The meeting is supposed to begin at 10    o'clock sharp.
    6    It shouldn't be a problem at all.
    7    I really must try to improve my living situation.
    8    Quite honestly, you mustn't go on like this.
    9    That's exactly why I have to speak with Karen today.
    10    Since she isn't here now, she must be sick.
    11    In that case, I'm going to call it off.
    12    That couldn't be further from the truth!
    13    I'll be able to help you if everything works out.
    14    I would much rather go for a walk than stay home.
