a) I knew I would have to retake (take) my driving test as soon as I saw the examiner (examine). He didn’t even say ‘hello’ and seemed very unfriendly (friend). I was a little bit late I suppose as I had slightly underestimated (estimate) how long it would take me to get there. As usual in this overcrowded (crowd) city all the buses were packed and I had had to wait more than twenty minutes before a conductor (conduct) would let me on a bus. I knew apologizing would be useless (use), so I just got in the car. Luckily (luck) I wasn’t feeling particularly nervous but this horrible man stared at me in disbelief (belief) as I began to drive off. I put the car into gear, but it went backwards (back) so fast I couldn’t believe it – straight into a wall. I was so disappointed (appoint) when he told me I had failed that I thought I might cry.

b) A business man sacked his own son because of laziness (lazy), incompetence and dishonesty (honest). Stuart Bidwell received dozens of letters of complaint (complain) about his work during the ten years he was his father’s employee (employ). ‘He got numberless (number) warnings,’ said Stephen Bidwell, Stuart’s father, and the manager (manage) of the company. ‘He was absolutely useless (use) at his job and he didn’t even have the right qualification (qualify).’ Eventually he was asked to hand in his resignation (resign) after being caught making phone calls to a girlfriend in Australia. His refusal (refuse) to resign forced his father to sack him, unfairly (fair) according to Stuart, who is now suing his father.

Bob: Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?

Jane: Well, we were in a bar and I was chatting to another friend about clothes and jewellery and that sort of thing, when Jackie suddenly lashed out at me, saying that it was alright for me because I always had good clothes and that I didn't understand what it was like for people who couldn't afford to buy the latest fashions.

Bob: Wow! It sounds like she might be a bit jealous or resentful. Did you know she felt like that?

Jane: No! I didn't have a clue until she flared up at me. She must have been bottling it up. She'd been really friendly towards me until then.

Bob: I suppose it all came out because she'd had a couple of drinks.

Jane: Yes. I guess so. I wanted to talk about it with her but she just stormed off - I haven't seen her since, and she won't return my calls.

Bob: Perhaps she's embarrassed about it - maybe Sue could help - she and Jackie have been friends for years.

Jane: Mmm. Good idea...
