Unit 3
: Listening Activity No. 4 
Last night, a man broke into a factory in the Leeds area and got away with cash of around six thousand 
pounds. He is about forty years old and very short, about 155cm. He is almost completely bald and has 
got a little hair at the sides above each ear. But he does have big brown beard. He was later seen driving 
away from the scene in an old blue Escort car. Police warn that this man could be armed and therefore 
dangerous. If anyone has any information as to his whereabouts, please contact your nearest police 
station.
I'll repeat that description. A man about forty years old, 155cm tall, almost bald with a little hair 
above each ear. He has big brown beard. If anyone sees him, please contact your nearest police station.

: Hello, 2345786 
Kathy
: Hello, could I speak to Jim Schaefer, please. 
Jim
: Speaking. 
Kathy
: Oh, hi Jim. This is Kathy. I am sorry to bother you so late. I just want to ask you a little favour. 
Jim
: Oh, sure. I like to help out, just anything you want.
Kathy
: Look, my sister Diana is coming visiting our campus. We are supposed to meet at the front of the 
building at 9a.m. tomorrow.
Jim
: Yeah 
Kathy
: Unfortunately, I forgot I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. So I cannot go and 
meet her. Could you possibly meet her for me? 
Jim
: Yes, I could do. But I have never seen your sister before.
Kathy
: Well, she is sort of average height and quite slim. She is 21 years old with short curly hair and she 
has an attractive face and she looks pretty cheerful. It's easy to recognize her. She usually wears a 
jumper and trousers with flat shoes.
Jim
: Ok, let me write that down. Average height and slim, about 21 years old, with short curly hair and 
an attractive face. She'll probably be wearing a jumper and trousers. Is that right? 
Kathy
: Yes. 
Jim
: Ok. I think I should be able to recognize her. 
Kathy
: Thank you very much.
