There is no audio script for Photo B because the woman is not speaking.

Exercício 3

Communication 1: c, d, a, e, f, b

Communication 2: e, b, f, c, d, a

Exercício 4

Firstly, can you find out if anybody saw what actually happened?

Secondly, you don’t say what happened immediately after the accident.

Finally, I want to know how badly injured Mr Harris is.

The first thing to remember is to make sure the animal is secure.

The next thing is to talk to the owner and explain exactly what you are going to do.

Then the last thing but perhaps the most important is to explain to the owner what to do when they take their pet home.
