1    I've never been to the Caribbean.
2    Neither have I.
3    They say it's a wonderful place...
4    for a restful holiday.
5    I've checked...
6    and double-checked the invoice,
7    but I still can't find the mistake.
8    It's not at all like you ...
9    to give up without a fight.
10    Health insurance...
11    can be extremely costly...
12    for self-employed people.
13    Thank you for reminding me.

Unit 117 Part B English


1    I have to be up tomorrow...
2    at the crack of dawn.
3    So do I.
4    But I can't sleep in this heat.
5    Neither can I.
6    What took you so long?
7    The lift got stuck.
8    May I ask what it is...
9    that attracts you to the idea...
10    of living here permanently?
11    I wonder if you could possibly...
12    rephrase your question.
13    Who sent you those roses?
14    My cousin Kevin.
