I’ve never met him before, and was a little nervous. I drove into town and was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I just started backing into the space when another car drove into it. I was very angry. I opened my window and shouted at the other driver. He ignored me and walked away. It took my twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I have parked the car, I rushed into the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager’s office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space.Text 10M: Hello?W: Dad, it’s me, Kirsty.M: Kirsty!

Hope you’ll enjoy yourself there.Text 11M: Dr. Stone, how did you become an expert on smell?W: Well, I didn’t intend to in the first place. But when I was in university, there was a course on senses. The other senses seem to be more concrete somehow, but smell is so personal. I found it extremely interesting.M: Do you have any interesting information to give us about smells?W: Well, let’s see. Did you know that it’s harder to forget smells than to forget facts? There have been experiments where people could pick out a particular smell thirty days after smelling it for the first time.M: Really? So smells can bring back more memories than, say, music?W: That seems to be the case.M: That’s interesting. So what’s your favorite smell?W: Oh, I have lots of different ones. The smells of the sea reminds me of happy family holidays, and the smell of roses makes me think of my friend’s house. Strangely enough, I like the smell of air craft fuel at airports. Then I know I am going to fly somewhere exciting. But it’s the general smell of my garden in the rain that I really like the most. That means I am at home where I should be.
