[00:00.00]Lesson Thirty-Five
[00:02.66]Section One:
[00:04.75]A. Tastes in Common:
[00:08.49]Woman A: I can't stand places like Majorca or the Costa Brava.Man: No, nor can I.Woman A: You know,
[00:15.67]where you have to share the beach with thousands of other people and everyone speaks English.Woman B: Oh, I don't mind that.Man: Oh, I do.
[00:22.00]I never go to places like that.
[00:23.75]I like to get right away from all the tourists, go somewhere that's really quiet and peaceful, like an island or something.Woman A: Yes,so do I
[00:29.78]---where no one speaks English.Woman B: What's wrong with people speaking English?
[00:33.65]I like meeting people when I'm on holiday.
[00:36.26]I like places with a good night life, and plenty of men around, and ... well, you know, where you can have a good time ...
[00:44.70]B. Monologue:
[00:51.04]I remember sailing on a pond that used to be by my grandfather's sawmill
[00:58.49]--we had a boat,and we used to go sailing on this. Also, we used to do a lot of climbing trees.
[01:03.84]We used to climb these trees for apples, which we then ate and made ourselves very sick.
[01:08.31]And my mother would come along and complain very strongly, but I don't think that stopped us at all.
[01:13.20]And of course in those days I had a bike, too,
[01:16.02]and I remember I used to push it up this very long hill near our house and then Vd get on and ride down as fast as I could go.
[01:23.36]My mother used to complain about that, too.
[01:25.63]Section Two:
[01:32.19]A. Recipe:
[01:35.35]Doris: Hello. What's all this then, Harry?Harry: What's all what? I'm making a cake.
[01:44.75]Doris: Yes. We can see what you're up to. Obviously you're making a cake.
[01:49.17]What else would you be doing with a cake tin and a rolling pin on the table and the place absolutely covered in flour.
[01:55.57]Yes, we can see what you're doing. But why are you doing it?
[01:59.69]Man: Yes, it's rather unlike you, Harry.
[02:02.25]Harry: Well, I just decided to try and make one for a change instead of buying one.
[02:07.06]Anyway this is going to be a rather special sort of cake.
[02:11.37]You can't buy them like this.
[02:13.33]And while you're here, Doris, do you mind beating up half a dozen eggs in that blue bowl over there?
[02:18.76]You'll find a fork and egg whisk, whichever you prefer, in the drawer on the left.Doris: OK.
[02:25.06]I don't mind. But wharfs so special about this cake?Harry: It's a surprise cake.Man: A surprise cake?
[02:31.30]Harry: Yes. Doris, don't forget to add five tablespoons of sugar.
[02:36.55]Doris: No, dear. But tell us about this surprise cake.
[02:39.79]Harry: Well, it was an idea I had while I was lying in bed last night.
[02:44.41]Man: Do you usually think of food in bed?
[02:46.92]Harry: I wasn't thinking of food. I decided to have a party for some old friends of mine,
[02:51.68]but I want to give them a surprise.Man: What kind of surprise?
[02:55.83]Harry:Can you add a half of a pint of cream to that,Doris?
[02:58.76]That's right, drip it in slowly and then beat it up again until it becomes all sticky. That's the way.
[03:06.91]Doris: I have made a cake before, you know.
[03:09.28]Now, come on,what's the surprise?Harry: Well, it's quite simple, really. You see I serve the cake with candles on it.
[03:17.33]Then I switch out the lights and I slip out of the room.
[03:21.27]But before this I tell them that they must count to twenty before trying to blow out the candles and they'll get a surprise.
[03:29.84]Man: And then? (Explosion effect)
[03:37.08]B. Waiting:
[03:42.90]Listen! I'm terribly sorry I'm late.Oh, that's all right.
[03:53.90]It doesn't really matter, does it? I haven't got anything better to do, have I?
[03:58.05]Just let me explain, will you?I've only been waiting for over an hour, that's all.
[04:03.59]Yes, I know, and I would have ...After all, my time isn't really that important, is it?
[04:11.95]Please don't be like that. Just let me explain.
[04:16.99]I ... I tried to get here in time but just after I left home, the car broke down.The car broke down?
[04:26.11]Yes, and.., well ... luckily.., there was a garage near me. And...and it took them a while to repair it.Why didn't you at least phone?
[04:37.34]I would have But I didn't know the number of the restaurant.You could have looked it up in the telephone book!
[04:44.03]Yes, but ... you'll never believe this ... I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant.
[04:50.14]I knew where it was, but forgot the name.I see. Well, at least it was lucky you found a garage to repair your car.
[04:57.77]Yes. It was something I couldn't do myself.
[05:01.09]It didn't take too long, but that's why I'm late, you see.
[05:04.72]Hu huh. Which garage, by the way?
[05:08.01]Pardon?
[05:09.13]Which garage did you take it to?
[05:11.17]Uh ... the one near my fiat. You know. Lewis Brothers.Yes, I know that garage. Ifs the only one near your flat.
[05:20.05]Hmm. Well now, let's have something to eat. Uh, what about some ...I know the garage very well!
[05:28.78]Yes. Let's see now. Yes, I think I'll have some ...A pity it's Sunday.
[05:35.10]Pardon?
[05:36.22]A pity it's Sunday. That garage is closed on Sunday!
[05:41.68]C. Hiking:
[05:49.34]Donald: Isn't it a relief to see people and lights, Walter? Now, let me see.
[05:57.90]Where are we exactly? According to my map, this must be Chagford.
[06:05.04]Walter: You're right, Don. That sign says Chagford Town Hall.
[06:09.66]But there's a more interesting notice on the other side of the square.
[06:13.71]Do you see what it says. Open for Devon Cream Teas'.
[06:19.19]Donald: Oh, yes, so it does. Hold on a moment. I must get a newspaper. There's a newsagent next door.
[06:25.28]Walter: What do you want a newspaper for?
[06:27.55]Donald: To find out what's been happening,of course.
[06:30.14]Walter: I don't need a newspaper to find out what's been happening.
[06:33.82]We must have been walking for at least six hours.
[06:38.71]My feet have been hurting for about four hours and I've been starving since we sharedthat tin of cold beans.
[06:46.26]Donald: You don't mean you're hungry again? I see what you mean.
[06:50.25]That tea shop does look interesting. We could plan tomorrow's walk while we were having tea, couldn't we?
[06:56.24]Walter and Donald have just finished their Devon Cream Tea, but they don't seem to want to leave.
[07:05.77]Waitress: I really don't know what to do, Mrs. Adams.
[07:11.60]The two gentlemen at table four have had complete Devon cream teas,with additional sandwiches and cakes, and another order of scones.
[07:19.07]They don't seem to want to leave and iris a quarter past five and I should be going off...Mrs. Adams: Never mind, Mary. You go. Poor lads.
[07:28.34]They must have been walking all day by the look of them. They must have been starving.
[07:33.36]Walter: I feel a hundred per cent better. How about you Donald?
[07:39.44]Donald: I must admit that a Devon cream tea is better than a tin of cold beans.
[07:43.86]In fact, it's better than almost anything I can think of ... except a good newspaper. Do you ever buy a newspaper?
[07:52.06]Walter: Not often. But I watch television a lot.
[07:55.59]Donald: Television! It only scratches the surface.
[07:59.35]Walter: I don't know what you mean by that. Television coverage is very dramatic.
[08:04.96]Donald: Dramatic, yes. You learn what happened but never why it happened.
[08:10.40]Walter: Rubbish. The television pictures show you what happened and then the people concerned are interviewed and they tell you why it happened.
[08:20.51]Donald: They say what they saw, but they aren't in a position to fill in the background.
[08:24.66]Walter: Yes, they are. They were there.
[08:27.40]Donald: That doesn't mean they're in a position to fill in the background.
[08:31.11]Anyway, the television pictures don't show you the whole truth.
[08:35.21]They only show you the bits that happened while the cameraman was filming.
[08:38.74]Very often he missed the most important bits.
[08:41.38]Mrs. Adams: Excuse me. I'm afraid it's almost half past five 'and we must close. Could I just give you your bill?
[08:49.11]Donald: Yes, of course. See to it, will you, Walter. I must get a newspaper before the newsagent closes.
[08:56.03]Walter: ... er ... Don ...Donald: Yes?
[08:59.12]Walter: Could you get me a paper, too?
[09:01.57]Donald: What do you want a paper for?
[09:04.03]Walter: To find out what's on television.
[09:06.32]D. Giving Directions:
[09:15.05]Alan: Yes, well ... good ... that sounds great ... thanks a lot ... haven't been to a party for ages.
[09:26.10]I'll drop round then. Er ... tell me how I get there.
[09:29.34]Caller: I just told you, Alan.
[09:30.80]Alan: You didn't. You just reminded me it was somewhere near Willesden Green.
[09:34.54]Caller: I told you exactly how to get here.
[09:36.65]Alan: Then I wasn't listening. Tell me again and I'll write it down.
[09:39.89]Caller: All right. Take a 46 bus.Alan: A what?Caller: A 46.Alan: It can't be a 46.Caller: It is, it is.
[09:47.68]Alan: Look, the 46 goes in the opposite direction.
[09:50.52]It goes towards the Elephant and Castle.Caller: No, it doesn't.Alan: It does.Caller: Listen, it may go towards the Elephant and Castle on its way back but before that it's headed in the opposite direction
[10:00.35]because I happen to catch it every day on my way home from work.
[10:03.35]Alan: All right, but I've seen the 46 going the opposite way, I'm sure.
[10:07.37]I didn't want to end up at the wrong end of town, that's all.
[10:10.40]Caller: In any case, what you may have seen is the 46B.
[10:13.59]That goes from here down to the Elephant on its return journey.
[10:17.14]Alan: But I seem to remember coming to your house one time on the 28.
[10:20.56]Am I right? I used to catch it at Marble Arch.
[10:23.96]Caller: Yes. It's discontinued. It used to run from Tooting straight through to here. It's a pity.
[10:28.69]Alan: OK, so I catch the 46. Now where do I get off?
[10:32.82]Caller: Get off at Boots the chemist's on the corner, two stops after the railway bridge.
[10:37.41]Turn right and walk on until you come to the second set of traffic lights then turn right into Hartington Road.
[10:44.08]Alan: Hang on ... let me write that down. So I get off at Boots the chemist's after the railway bridge.
[10:51.08]Caller: Two stops after you've gone under the railway bridge.Alan: All right. Then what?Caller: Then turn right and turn right again at the second set of traffic lights.
[10:58.94]Alan: Right at the second set of lights.
[11:02.65]Caller: Then first right into Hartington Road and I'm number one, second floor.
[11:06.78]Alan: OK, I've got all that. Where do you think is the nearest place for me to catch the 45?
[11:11.66]Caller: 46. The 45 would take you up to Wembley and you wouldn't get here till the middle of next week.
[11:17.20]Alan: All right the 46. Where do I catch it?
[11:19.84]Caller: I should think Piccadilly Circus or Green Park would be the nearest to you.
[11:24.36]Alan: Oh well, they're both within walking distance. Have you any idea how often they run?Caller: What?Alan: The 46, do you know how often it runs?
[11:33.16]Caller: I've no idea. I should think every ten or fifteen minutes. I never have to wait long.
[11:37.94]Alan: Good. I should be there in about an hour. Thanks for the invitation. Cheers.Caller: Cheers. See you later.
[11:46.30]Section Three:
[11:54.42]A. Burglary:
[11:57.77]Fred: Are you sure this is the right house?Harry: Course I'm sure. I used to live next door, didn't I? It's easy and safe.
[12:16.10]She's not been out for twenty years. Frightened to go out in case someone pinches her money.
[12:20.88]Fred: That's just what we're going to do, isn't it? Except she's in.What if she hears us?Harry: She won't.
[12:26.58]Deaf as a post. Probably half blind, too.
[12:29.53]Living in the dark all those years. Come on, get in this window.
[12:34.21]Stand on my back and give me a hand up. Right, now come on. Let's have a look around.
[12:44.87]Wendy: Ah, good evening, you've come at last.Fred: Blimey!
[12:53.69]Harry: Oh ... er ... good evening. Yeah ... er ... sorry to be late.
[13:00.98]Wendy: Late! Oh,m you are naughty. Keeping me waiting here twenty years.
[13:08.64]And then trying to surprise me by coming in the window.
[13:12.45]And you've brought a friend, I see.
[13:15.69]Good evening. I hope you didn't damage your clothes coming in the window like that.
[13:21.20]Harry's such a silly boy. Still up to his tricks. Do take a chair.
[13:30.29]And you Harry, sit down and we can all have a nice cup of tea. You'd like that, wouldn't you?
[13:38.42]Fred: Oh ... er ... yeah, er ... thanks very much. Er ... thank you.Wendy: Lovely.
[13:44.48]Now, won't be a minute. Harry, entertain your friend, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
[13:53.04]Fred: A right mess this is. Quick, back out of the window.Harry: No. Calm down. Can't you see? It's even easier.
[14:03.13]She thinks I'm her old boyfriend. Must've been waiting for him for twenty years.
[14:08.67]All I have to do is ask her for the money and she'll give it to me. She's off her head.
[14:13.58]Fred: Do you think so? Reckon it'll be as easy as that?Harry: Course it will. Now shut up. She's coming back.
[14:20.00]Fred: She didn't even notice our masks.Harry: Oh, shut up.
[14:24.16]Wendy: Here we are. A nice cup of tea and a bun. Now, Harry, you haven't introduced your friend.Harry: Oh, no. Sorry.
[14:36.33]Er... this is Fred. Yeah ... Fred. Fred this is.Wendy: Hello, Fred. So pleased to meet you. I'm Wendy. Wendy Hartfelt.Fred: Oh, very pleased, I'm sure.
[14:53.20]Harry: Wendy, I wanted to talk to you about money.
[14:58.59]Wendy: Ah yes, Harry. I wondered. I Wasn't going to mention it quite so soon,
[15:06.32]but that ten thousand pounds I lent you must have acquired quite a lot of interest by now,
[15:11.86]and times are rather hard. Now, drink your tea like a good boy and we'll discuss how you can pay it back.
[15:21.18]Twenty years is a long time to wait, after all.
[15:26.22]Harry? Harry, what are you doing? Come back in here at once.
[15:32.49]Oh dear. He is a naughty boy. But I know he'll come back.
[15:41.53]Always did. But I'm afraid his tea will be cold. Ah...
[15:51.33]B. The Empty Chair:
[15:55.30]A friend of mine, Rob Jenkins, almost had a nervous break down last year.
[16:05.04]I told him to go to the doctor.
[16:07.18]Doctor: Hello, Mr. Henkins. What can I do for you?
[16:10.71]Mr. Jenkins: Well, doctor ... I'm very tense and nervous. I haven't been able to sleep for several days.
[16:16.85]Doctor: Hmm ... have you been working hard?
[16:18.73]Mr. Jenkins: Oh, yes. I've been very busy. I've been working twelve hours a day.
[16:21.76]Doctor: Have you been taking any pills?
[16:23.77]Mr. Jenkins: No, but I've been smoking too much, and I've been drinking a lot of coffee.
[16:27.66]Doctor: Well, you should take a holiday.
[16:30.01]You should go somewhere quiet and peaceful, like Cornwall. Why don't you go there?
[16:34.69]Rob decided to go to Cornwall the next weekend.
[16:38.50]Penquay was a very small fishing village on the north coast of Cornwall.
[16:43.70]There were no trains or buses to Penquay, so he had to drive.
[16:48.01]It was a long journey, and Rob arrived late on Friday evening.
[16:51.98]The landlady of the guest house, Mrs. Doone, answered the door and showed him to his room.
[16:58.07]Rob was very tired and went straight to bed.
[17:01.54]He slept well and didn't wake up until nine o'clock the next morning.
[17:06.27]Rob wentdownstairs for breakfast, Because there were no other guests, Mrs. Doone invited him to have breakfast with her and her daughter, Catherine.
[17:16.83]Catherine was already sitting in the dining room.
[17:20.04]She was about thirteen years old, with long, black hair and clear, grey eyes.
[17:25.63]Mrs. Doone went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
[17:29.63]Rob and Catherine looked at each other nervously for a few seconds.
[17:34.51]Mr. Jenkins: There are four places at the table. Is there another guest?
[17:40.52]Catherine: Oh, no... we never talk about the empty place.
[17:46.55]Mr.Jenkins: The empty place? What do you mean?
[17:49.61]Catherine: Well, that used to be my father's place.
[17:53.50]Mr. Jenkins: "Used to be?" I don't understand.
[17:56.30]Catherine: My father was a fisherman. Three years ago he went out in his boat, and he never returned.
[18:04.55]Mr. Jenkins: What happened to him?
[18:05.96]Catherine: Nobody knows. They searched everywhere, but they found nothing. My mother always keeps that place for him, and she makes his breakfast every morning.
[18:17.19]She thinks he'll come back. That's a photograph of him... over there, on the wall.
[18:23.67]My mother's been waiting for him for three years.
[18:28.24]Rob said nothing, but he looked very worried. At that moment Mrs. Doone returned.
[18:35.56]She poured four cups of tea, and put one cup in the empty place.
[18:41.18]Rob looked more worried and he stared at the empty chair.
[18:45.69]Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door and a tall man, with a black beard, walked into the room.
[18:52.88]Rob looked terrified. It was the man in the photograph! He jumped up and ran out of the room.
[19:01.11]Man: Who was that? What's the matter?
[19:03.80]Mrs. Doone: I don't know. I don't understand. He's a guest from London.
[19:08.84]He arrived last night while you were asleep.
[19:11.50]Man: Catherine! Do you know anything about this?Catherine: No, I don't, father. But he's here because he's very nervous.
[19:19.84]He says he's hiding here because a tall man with a black beard is trying to kill him.
[19:25.79]Man: Catherine, have you been telling stories again?
