Section 3. Task 1. Learning to predict.
1. But the whole office complains that I smell of garlic for a week after we've been to the French restaurant. Well, how about (pause) the Chinese then?
2. Look, if you're determined to eat, why don't you go down to the take-away and bring us back a nice packet of fish and chips?
Fish and chips? Well, it's better than nothing, isn't it? Go on, it's down the road and if you're quick, (pause) they'll still be hot when you get back.
3. Hurry up and you'll be in time for the next programme. Not if (pause) there's a queue.
4. Hi, George, where are you off to? Home, do you want to come and listen to some jazz? Yes, that's sounds (pause) a good idea.
5. But I don't think I'm going to take it. Why not? not enough money?
No, it's not that, the money is good, about 200 a week. It's just that we'll be working in a hotel playing for the tourists, and they just want the same old tunes over and over to dance to and I get so bored. It's not like playing music, it's like being a machine.
I wouldn't mind (pause) being a machine for that money.
6. But if all I wanted was money, I could do an ordinary job. I play drums because (pause) I want to play drums.
