VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking
Task 1: Finding the Right Type of Girl
Keith: Hey, Peter! You’ve been in the room all night. Get out and dance with someone like that babe over there.
Peter: No way, Keith! She’s the intellectual type. My pickup¹ line just won’t work with her.
Keith: Oh, come on, man! What kind of girl do you like?
Peter: I want a girl that gentle and mild, and that babe is not the right type.
Keith: Times are changing, and you’ll never find a woman that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up.
Peter: Oh really? I still prefer women that stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the kids.
Keith: Okay, then what will you do after you get home from work?
Peter: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw our the trash.
Keith: Wit, wait, wait. I can’t believe my ears. You’ll never find a wife.
