PAIRWORK

Student B: Turn to the Key Section.

Student A: You have just bought a video cassette recorder. When you arrive home, you find that the installation and operating instructions are missing. You want to set up the machine immediately, and so you telephone the shop and ask for the Technical Manager.

You ask him to tell you the steps to follow to set up the machine.

As the Manager gives you the instructions, number the pictures from 1 to 12 below, and make short notes in the space.

After you have listened to the instructions and numbered the pictures, use your notes to repeat to your partner what you must do, so that you are sure that you have understood correctly.
