[00:09.48]You are going to hear three conversations where people describe what tings are like. [00:17.84]As you listen,take notes on what they are describing and which adjectives they use. [00:25.21]Conversation 1 [00:29.36]Mm,this fish is really nice.What’s yours like? [00:34.72]Well,I’m beginning to wish I’d had the same as you. [00:38.97]I usually love chicken,but,to be honest,this is a bit bland. [00:44.72]The waiter said it was in a delicious mushroom sauce,but it doesn’t taste of anything. [00:51.49]Conversation 2 [00:57.94]So,is the wine all right? [01:01.91]Mm,yeah,it’s all right,but it’s nothing special. [01:08.39]I see what you mean.$15 for this!It really is very ordinary. [01:15.65]Yes,it’s a bit disappointing,to say the least.Shall we send it back? [01:22.42]No,I can’t be bothered.It’s not that bad. [01:27.28]Conversation 3 [01:33.13]Didn’t you go to see Macbeth last week? [01:38.69]Yeah,it was brilliant.I’ve been to it a few times beforre, [01:44.05]but I think this was the best production I’ve ever seen. [01:48.70]Yeah,someone I work with went and said it was wonderful. [01:54.47]I wish I’d been able to get a ticket. [01:58.52]4 Asking linked questions [02:12.26]1.What’s his house like?Is it big? [02:22.32]Yes,it’s huge.It’s got four bedrooms and an enormous garden. [02:28.48]2.What was that book like?Was it interesting? [02:36.06]No,it wasn’t,actually.It was really boring.In fact,I didn’t even finish reading it. [02:43.21]3.What’s your new job like?Are you enjoying it? [02:49.87]Yes,very much.My boss is really nice and it’s quite well paid,really. [02:56.12]4.What was Tunisia like?Was it warm? [03:05.36]Yes,it was quite warm,but not as hot as the last time we went. [03:11.61]5.What’s this CD like?Is it any good? [03:19.37]Yes,I think it’s great.The third track is brilliant. [03:25.01]6.How was the match?Did you win? [03:32.66]No,we lost three-one.It was just terrible.I can’t believe it. [03:38.91]1.While you listen Not exactly Shakespeare [03:54.19]Guess what I went and saw last night- [03:59.52]Titanic-it’s on again this week at the Duke of York’s. [04:05.08]Oh,yeah.I saw that when it first came out. [04:09.73]What did you think of it?Did you like to? [04:13.49]Oh,it was great.I really enjoyed it. [04:18.32]I though the special effects were amazing,and the acting was brilliant. [04:23.58]It’s one of those films where,you know, [04:27.73]when I first heard about how much money they’d spent on it, [04:32.30]I just couldn’t believe it,but it was really great. [04:37.16]It was a bit like one of those old disaster movies,you know, [04:42.31]like Towering Inferno or Earthquake,only better. [04:47.35]Really?I’m surprised.I though the acting was a bit wooden myself, [04:53.59]and the dialogue was just awful. [04:57.53]I can’t believe you actually thought it was worthe the money they’d spent on it. [05:02.99]I mean,didn’t you find the whole thing jsut a little bit over-the-top? [05:08.24]Oh,no.Not at all.I thought it was brilliant.But the acting was horrendous! [05:14.80]Well,I know it’s not exactly Shakespeare,but it’s not meant to be,is it? [05:19.95]I’ll tell you something weird though, [05:23.71]there was this guy sitting next to us who snored all the way through the film! [05:29.77]Really?That’s must’ve been really annoying. [05:34.21]How could anybody actually sleep through all that noise! [05:38.65]I don’t know -just dead tired,I suppose. [05:42.88]Yeah,I guess so,but really,though, [05:46.93]didn’t you think it was all just a bit too sentimental? [05:51.79]I know what you mean,but I honestly didn’t. [05:55.76]I really thought it was all done just right.It was so romantic. [06:01.82]Oh well,each to his own.Have you seen Bomb Alert 2 yet? [06:07.46]No,I haven’t even heard of it.Who’s in it? [06:11.83]Um,Jean-Paul van Klam, [06:15.98]he’s great in it and,um,that woman from Kamikaze,you know who I mean. [06:22.15]Remember?She was Turtle-woman too, [06:26.61]although I must admit she wasn’t very good in that. [06:31.58]Oh,her.So what’s like?Any good? [06:35.73]Yeah,it’s great-if you like blood all over the place and that sort of thing. [06:42.39]Oh,it doesn’t really sound like my sort of thing,actually.I think I’ll give it a miss. [06:49.76]1 Negative questions [07:04.62]Listen to these example and practise them with a partner. [07:10.08]11.I really like living our here in the country. [07:15.72]Oh,realy.Don’t you find it a bit boring? [07:20.40]No,not at all.It’s great. [07:24.55]2.I’m going to see Dogs of War tonight. [07:30.90]Oh really.Don’t you think it looks really violent? [07:36.67]Yes,a bit,but then I like that kind of thing.
