Listen carefully for the details about the house-warming party. Then answer the questions below.
| When the workers and the removal van leave, Maria talks to Andreas. |
| How could they forget the crockery? Now we don't have anything to eat with! |
| Calm down, honey. Why don't we ask our neighbours to lend us some plates, knives, forks, spoons and cups? |
| Good thinking! It will give us an opportunity to introduce ourselves! |
| You know what, let's have a house-warming party this Saturday! We can invite all our neighbours. |

| They walk to the neighbour's house and ring the bell. A woman opens the door. |
| Hi! We're the Fernandez family. We're from next-door! My name is Maria. |
| Oh hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Betty. |
| Nice to meet you too, Betty. I'm Andreas. |
| Betty, do you have some spare crockery? |
| Sure, I do. Do you need some? |
| Yes, please! The removal company forgot ours! |
| Sure, no problem! Just a second. |
| She goes inside and comes back with a box full of crockery. |
