Girl 2: Well, one of the problems with this is that the seating isn’t right.
Girl 1: Yes, the men and women aren’t all sitting alternately round the table. There are two men and two women sitting next to each other.
Boy: Right. And I can already see quite a few pitfalls. I mean, we can’t put Napoleon next to Elizabeth I for a start!
Girl 2: Why not? They were both great leaders — they led their countries through difficult times. Wouldn’t they have a lot in common?
Boy: Maybe, but there might be a lot of tension. Remember the Battle of Trafalgar? Napoleon wanted to invade Britain. And the Spanish wanted to do the same in Elizabeth’s time!
Girl 2: Of course! You’re right. That might cause a terrible argument. We want people to enjoy themselves, don’t we?
Girl 1: Yes, but we don’t want it to be boring either.
Girl 2: Absolutely! Anyway, moving on … What if we change Elizabeth and Madonna round, and Madonna can sit at the head of the table? I’m sure Napoleon would have a lot to say to her …
Boy: Yes, apparently he could be very charming — and was a great conversationalist.
Girl 1: Perhaps. But the trouble is, they say Napoleon didn’t have much time for women’s rights …
Boy: And Madonna would be very outspoken on that subject! She has very strong opinions in favour of the equality of women. And she’d have Bono on her left. I’d imagine they’d have a lot in common — with the music and all that. They both …
Girl 2: No, hang on! I’ve just realised there’s a hitch here. Swapping Madonna and Elizabeth round wouldn’t help at all as we’d still have two women and two men sitting together.
Boy: Yes, Jane Austen and Elizabeth, and Socrates and Bill Gates. So we’ll have to put a man where the women are and move one of the women to the other side of the table.
Girl 2: Quite … so who should we move?
Boy: Well, we could put Elizabeth in the middle, where Jane Austen is, and move Bill Gates next to her at the end. Then Jane Austen could sit on the other side, between Socrates and Bono.
Girl 2: With Madonna still at the head of the table? Yes, that could work. Bill Gates and Elizabeth are bound to get on. They’re both ambitious and I bet she’d be fascinated to hear about technology in the twenty first century — not to mention his philanthropic work.
Girl 1: And Jane Austen and Socrates would have a lot to talk about. She was a very astute observer of human nature. I’m sure she’d enjoy discussing philosophy with Socrates.
Boy: Perhaps. But on second thoughts, she did come from an eighteenth century country background and had quite a restricted social life. She might find Socrates a bit too eccentric. They say he never used to wash and walked around barefoot!
Girl 2: Wait! Just to go back to the point you made about Elizabeth I. About moving her to Jane Austen’s place in the middle …
Girl 1: Right! She’d still be next to Napoleon! So that wouldn’t work either. Mmm … we don’t seem to be getting very far, do we?
Boy: Don’t worry. We’ll get round it somehow.
Girl 2: OK, let’s look at the options we’ve thought of so far. We suggested putting Madonna at the head of the table, with Napoleon on her right and Bono on her left.
Girl 1: And we thought Jane Austen could sit between Bono and Socrates, with Elizabeth I between Bill Gates and Napoleon. But of course, there are a couple of major problems with that.
Girl 2: OK, so let’s see if we can sort them out …
4 T066 Complete Speak Out with words from the box. Then listen again and check. Draw their seating plan so far.

5 How would you organise the seating plan? Discuss in pairs, using language from Speak Out. Then draw your plan. For information about the people, Student A, look at page 137. Student B, look at page 139.
6 T067 Listen to the end of the conversation and draw the seating plan they decide on. How similar/different is it to yours?
Текст аудирования:
Girl 2: Right, so there are two problems here. One, should Elizabeth sit next to Napoleon? And two, will Jane Austen be comfortable sitting by Socrates, right?
Boy: Yes, I suppose so. First of all, how about if Socrates and Napoleon changed places? Then Elizabeth would be sitting between Socrates and Bill Gates, and Napoleon would be on the other side.
Girl 1: Yes, I’m sure she wouldn’t care about Socrates being smelly — after all they didn’t take many baths in the sixteenth century either, did they?
Boy: Right! And neither of them were afraid to say what they thought. Elizabeth was very intolerant of fools but I’m sure she’d get on like a house on fire with Socrates.
Girl 2: Yes, but the trouble is, then Jane Austen would have Napoleon on her left. And they both lived at the same time when England and France were at war.
Boy: Of course — so that wouldn’t work, would it?
Girl 2: No, we’ve got to move Jane Austen. But where to?
Boy: Wait — I’ve had a brainwave! Let’s keep Socrates where he was before and swap Napoleon and Bill Gates around. Then we could move Madonna — and put Jane Austen at the head of the table, with Bono on her left and Bill on her right.
Girl 1: Right so far, so good. She should be happy there. Both Bill and Bono are great philanthropists. She’ll be amazed to find out how times have changed. But where will Madonna go? And what about Elizabeth?
Boy: Well, I thought Elizabeth could go where Jane Austen was, between Socrates and Bono. And Madonna sits where Elizabeth was.
Girl 2: What — between Napoleon and Bill Gates?! I thought we agreed that she’d argue with Napoleon about women’s rights?
Boy: I know. But she’s tough — and she’s got an IQ of over 140. I’m pretty sure she’ll be able to handle him.
Girl 2: Yes, you’re probably right! OK, so are we agreed?
Girl 1: I think so. Jane Austen’s at the head of the table, with Bill Gates and Bono on either side. Madonna is between Bill and Napoleon — and Elizabeth is on the other side between Socrates and Bono.
Boy: I think it’s the best solution we can come up with, don’t you?
Girl 1: Absolutely, it’s great.
Girl 2: They’ll all have a great time!
7 Work in groups of five. Imagine you have been invited to the dinner party. Decide which famous people you should sit next to and why. Use language from Speak Out.
