Learning English is not only about mastering grammar and vocabulary, but more importantly about being able to use it naturally in real-life situations. However, the sentences in textbooks are often too formal and quite different from everyday expressions. To speak authentic and natural English, you need to be exposed to conversations in real contexts. Here, we have selected frequently used English expressions in daily life, covering social, work, and travel scenarios, helping you break away from 'textbook English' and learn how native speakers actually speak. Below is the content of this issue of 'New Cambridge Business English (Preliminary) Exam 15'. Keep accumulating, and make your English closer to real life!

Yes. What do you think is the most interesting place to visit in this country? I don't know. London, perhaps. And cenareek, which other country would you like to visit? I would like to visit Scotland. Why would you like to visit Scotland? I don't know. What about you, Caroline? Where would you like to visit? So, America? Any particular part of South America? Um, Brazil?
Interview 2. Part 1. Good morning, my name's Alison. Now I'd just like to check your names. Ah, so what's your name? My name is Gahunin Michel. How do you spell your family name? M-I-C-H-E-M. Thank you. You're cenareek, aren't you? I am cenareek. How do you spell your family name? M-I-O-B-E-Y. Where are you from, cenareek? I'm from Normandy. Do you like living there? Sure. I like a lot, living there. Why do you like living there? Um, because I appreciate the
cosmopolitan side of London. I like going to the theatre, cinemas and art galleries. M-M. I see. Where are you from, Caroline? I'm from Grenoble in France. Do you like living there? Yes, I do. It's a very nice place. Why do you like living there? Especially because there are a lot of mountains around. So it's really good for sports. It must be a nice place to live. cenareek, have you travelled to other parts of England? No, I haven't. I know only... I only know London. And where would you go if you had the chance? I would like to visit the Devanchaya and maybe to go to Manchester. Caroline, have you visited other parts of England? None of that much, but I've been to Bath, for example. And did you like Bath? Yes, it's an amazing place with many things to see. What do you think is the most interesting place to visit in this country? Oh, London for sure. cenareek, which other country would you like to visit? I would like to visit the United States of America, India and China as well. Why would you like to visit India? Because I think it's a very different culture from our own culture. And I would like to
experience a radically different culture. How about you, Caroline? What other countries would you like to visit? I really would like to visit Africa, any particular part of Africa. And perhaps Synnagar would be my choice. Thank you very much. So that's the end of the first part of the test.
Interview 1, part 2. Okay, cenareek, would you like to start your talk? Sure. Well, when choosing which
airline to fly with, I pay attention to the price first. Once I had a fly with a very cheap company, but unfortunately it wasn't a very good experience. When we were expected to live by the plane, there was a Malcolm man. And he didn't want to live without his dog. So he was in the fly with his dog. And the commandant asked him to live the plane. But he didn't want to. And so the flight was delayed because of that. And the thing is that we couldn't take off. He didn't want to live the plane. So we were waiting. And it was a bit worrying because we couldn't. We couldn't live or take off before before. We had only one hour to take off. So if we couldn't do it, we wouldn't have been. We wouldn't have got back our money because there was no insurance for this because the flight was very cheap. Thank you. Caroline, would you like to ask any questions? When you travel, do you book your ticket by internet or by phone? Do you go to travel agency? I usually go to travel agency. Thank you both very much.
Interview 2, part 2. Okay, Caroline, would you like to start your talk? Yes. I'm concerning my choice for airlines. I think price, safety record and customer service are honestly both really important, not free. But if I can't have the three things, I would probably put first price and safety. For example, I would never go in a very far country if the airlines is not a good reputation. But price is something we have to think about. If we want to keep some money to do something else apart from traveling. And
customer service, I didn't have many times problems with airlines so I don't know if it's really important. Thank you. Sennarik, would you like to ask any questions? Yes, sure. Do you sometimes fear flying? Not that door I enjoy that. It's really exciting. Thank you both very much.
Interview 1, part 3. Right, some potential foreign clients are visiting your company for the first time. Look at the pictures, talk together for two minutes and decide which would be the most suitable place to take them in the evening. Well, I think we can go to this football match. To go to the pub is a good idea. We could go first to this pub and then to the football match. How to go to the theatre? Do you think they are interested in this? Yes, you're right. They enjoy to go to the theatre. How can you know that? Sorry. How can you know that? Yes, it's a good idea. And then we can go to the restaurant. Which restaurant? This restaurant, the Thai restaurant. I don't like that Thai food. So we can go to another restaurant. What is your ID? We can go to another restaurant. Yes, but what is your ID? We can go to a French restaurant. Okay, we go. Yes, thank you. Sanabic, what other activities could you arrange for a potential client? Well, an ID, I've got an ID. I would like to go with them to... Oh, maybe to the London A's. Thank you. And Caroline, why do you think it's important to socialise with clients? It's good to speak with them. No restaurant. It's important. Right, thank you both very much. That concludes the speaking test.
Interview 2, part 3. Right, some potential foreign clients are visiting your company for the first time. Look at the pictures and talk together for 2 minutes and decide which would be the most suitable place to take them in the evening. Hmm, I think it would be great to start to go to the pond. What do you think? Don't you think it's a bit too basic for our clients? Well, we can choose something else. What do you suggest in that case? What do you think about the football match? You're joking. You are free women in the team. We can't take them in the football match. That's right. That's right. It's definitely not a good ID. Shall we go to this play by Shakespeare? I think it looks great. I'm sure they're going to enjoy that. Yes, but don't you think they would find a problem with the language? Yes, perhaps, but it's not very important. Just to be in a really British theater with a very famous play, it would be great. Don't worry about that. We could take afterwards. We could take them to this entire restaurant. What do you think? I think it's a great idea to go to the restaurants, but I'm not sure the Thai restaurant is a good idea. The food might be too hot or something like that. What do you suggest then? Why not going to a French restaurant? You know this famous one. I'm going straight. Let's go to this restaurant. That's a good idea. Thank you. Sannari, what other activities could you arrange for a potential client? I would enjoy taking them to visit an art gallery in London and maybe taking them to a few great places in the city. Why do you think it's important to
socialize with clients? I think you know the answer to that question. Everybody knows that it's good to make more money. Thank you very much. That concludes the speaking test.
