Card A
Operator: Emergency. Which service, please?
Mr. Smith: The police.
Police Department: Police talking.
Mr. Smith: I’ve just seen two cars crash into a security van on my way to work. There’s something wrong here. I
think it’s a robbery.
Police Department: Where is it?
Mr. Smith: Outside the factory gates of Husley Engineering on Kirby Road.
The first police car got to the factory five minutes later, but it was too late. The robbers had already gone away. They
had knocked out one of the security guards and shot the other. They were both lying on the ground near the van. The
thieves had taken all wages for the factory. The police called an ambulance and questioned the witnesses.

Card B

Operator: Emergency. Which service, please?
Mr. Gilbert: Fire.
Fire Department: Fire service.
Mr. Gilbert: Please, come quickly! Kingston’s Garage is on fire. It’s the one on High Street.
Fire Department: We’ll be there in a short time.
The fire engine got to the garage just in time. The showroom was burning. Fortunately, the fire hadn’t reached the
petrol pumps and hadn’t spread to the neighboring houses. The firefighters were able to put it out quickly. They said
that the fire had started in the office because someone had thrown an unsnuffed candle into the waste bin. There
was no evidence of arson. The owner of the garage expressed his gratitude to the firefighters for their hard work and
thanked them.

Operator: Emergency. Which service, please?
Mrs. Harrison: Ambulance.
Ambulance Service: Ambulance service is here.
Mrs. Harrison: Hurry! There’s a boy in the canal. I don’t think he can swim!
Ambulance Service: Where are you, madam?
Mrs. Harrison: Oh, sorry! Near the bridge. The one on Mersey Street.
Ambulance Service: We’re on our way!
The boy was lying on the quay. There were people shouting around. A policeman passing by the canal had
seen the boy in the water. He had dived in and rescued him. The policeman had given him artificial
respiration. The boy was all right. A man said he had seen two boys running fast towards the King’s Road.
The ambulance took the boy and the policeman to hospital.
