Heyy
For my phonetics class, I have to record The Flatmates Audio’s
One of them is Episode 119 “A quiet drink” with Francisca Marín, and Episode 111 “Time for coffee” with Valentina Bugueño
Episode 119
Paul: So here’s your gin and tonic. Cheers!
Alice: Cheers! Here’s to holidays. I’ve got a few days off next week. I can’t wait for a break from work.
Paul: That’ll be nice. I wish I was as enthusiastic about half-term!
Alice: Have you got any plans?
Paul: Well, I’ve got a few activities planned for both Jake and Ellie but I have to work on Tuesday and Wednesday and I do want to spend some quality time with Jake. I think we need some father-son time alone.
Alice: Well, I could help out there, if you like.
Paul: How so?
Alice: Well, maybe I could mend a few bridges with Ellie and we could have some girly fun at the same time.
Paul: You know what? That sounds like a great idea.
Alice: You think so? I don’t want to cause any more problems.
Paul: Don’t worry about that. I’m sure that with time Ellie will totally adore you.
Alice: You really believe that?
Paul: Of course I do, you truly are a wonderful person.
Alice: You’re the sweetest Paul, I just hope this girly hang out can be fun for Ellie too.
Paul: I’m sure you will both have a great time together.AliceLet’s hope you’re right about this….
Episode 111
Tim: Thanks for inviting me out for coffee. It’s good to get out of the flat for a bit.
Janet: I hope you’re keeping yourself busy.
Tim: Well, I’m trying to but sometimes it’s a bit difficult to get motivated.
Janet: I know it is Tim but it’s important to keep your spirits up. And I hope I can help on that score.
Tim: Oh Janet, you’re too kind.
Janet: Well, what’s an old gal meant to do? I see you as my special little project. Now, tell me honestly. What is it you want to do with your life? How would you like to earn a living?
Tim: Well, you know Janet, I’ve always seen myself as a bit of a creative person. I’ve thought about writing or maybe doing something in design, but it just feels overwhelming to know where to start.
Janet: That’s a great start, though! Being creative can take you in so many directions. Have you thought about starting small? Maybe working on some projects in your free time?
Tim: I have, but sometimes I just don’t feel confident enough. I’m not sure if I’m any good at it, and I don’t want to fail.
Janet: That’s completely natural, Tim. But you won’t know until you try, right? Plus, everyone starts somewhere.
