2 Conversation

A Listen and practice.

Chris: Do you have a date for the party yet?

Kim: Actually, I don’t ……Do you think you could help me find one?

Chris: Hmm. What kind of guys do you like?

Kim: Oh, I like g uys who aren’t too serious and who have a good sense of humor. You know ... like you.

Chris: OK. What else?

Kim: Well, I’d prefer someone I have something in common with – who I can talk to easily. Chris: I think I know just the guy for you. Bob Branson. Do you know him?

Kim: No, I don’t think so.

Chris: Let me arrange for you to meet him, and you can tell me what you think.

B Listen to Chris and Kim discussing Bob after Kim met him. How did Kim like him?

Chris: So, what’s the Verdict? What did you t hink of Bob?

Kim: Well, I was worried at first especially when I saw that he wears not one but

two earrings, I thought he might turn out to be one of those guys who are into heavy rock music and stuff like that. You know what I mean?

Chris: But he’s ju st a regular kind of guy, right?

Kim: Yeah, we got along really well!

Chris: I just knew you’d like him.

Kim: Yeah, I do, and he’s really funny. He had me laughing hysterically

during dinner. I think the people sitting next to us in the restaurant thought we were crazy. Chris: So, are you two going to get together again?

Kim: Definitely, in fact, we’re going to a concert tomorrow night.

Chris: That’s great.

Listening What are they like?

B Listen to conversations about what the people above are like.

Write down two adjectives for each person. How similar were your guesses? 1. Andrea

A: So, have you seen Andrea lately?

B: Yeah, I see her pretty often. We work together at a café latté.

A: How’s she doing, I’ve been meaning to call her.

B: Wel l, to be honest! I’ve always thought she’s a little difficult. But these days, I find her impossible.

A: What do you mean?

B: Oh, you know how she is. She has such strong ideas about everything. If you don’t agree with her she lets you know what she thinks of you.

A: Yes, that’s true. But that’s why we love her, right?

B: Yeah, I guess so. But she’s changed a lot since she started college.She talked about 1文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word版本可编辑.

A: Hmm. Maybe I won’t call her after all.

2. James

A: Are you going to James party on Saturday?

B: Of course, James always gives the best parties. And there are always lots of interesting new people to meet.

A: That’s true. I don’t know where he manages t o find them all.

B: Well, you know what he’s like. He makes friends very easily. He really likes talking to people, and he loves inviting people over.

A: Ur – Ur, he invited me for dinner last Saturday, what a feast!

B: Yeah, he’s a great cook too.

A: After dinner I offered to help clean up, he told me not to worry about it. He said he’d take care of it in the morning. He was like. It’s nothing, no big deal.

B: Yup, that sounds like James.

3. Mr. Johnson

A: Have you met the new apartment manager?

B: Mr. Johnson? Hmm. Yeah, I met him last week. He’s… a little strange.

A: Yeah, he is. I’m not sure I like him. He’s hard to predict. Sometimes he’s pretty cheerful and talkative,

and the next day he doesn’t even say hello. I think he must have personal p roblems or something.

B: I think you’re right. And have you noticed that half the time when he says he’s going to do something, he never actually does it? He told me three times he’d come to fix the light in my kitchen, and he still hasn’t done it.

Jim: I’m pretty easygoing.
