华尔街中级英语Lesson 16

Now it may still be pop music playing, but I’m in fact in a classical section.
Excuse me, can I ask your name?
Francesca.
Is classical music your taste?
Uh, yes, exactally.
Do you have a favorite composer or performer?
There’s only a few that I actually know but I like “Pictures at an Exhibition”, by Massorgsky.
When you buy, do you CDs or cassettes, or vinal?
Still vinals. I’m afraid I still haven’t got a CD player.
Why is that?
Can’t afford one.
6.
It’s getting to be quite difficult though to find recordings¹ on vinals, isn’t it?
A is actually. A lot of stuff doesn’t come out on vinals, especially classical, you have to shop around really,in specialist shops, and stuff.
Do you find you spent a lot of money on your record collection?
Not as much as I used to.
When you have a new album and you take it home, do you listen to it a lot or do you savor² it bit by bit?
I usually listen to it until I’m sick to death of it and I probably don’t listen to it for ages.
So do you have a big collection at home?
About 500 albums.
That’s pretty extensive.
Yes, a lot of years of collecting.
