[00:04.78]2.Waiting for ages!
[00:11.94]I know it might sound strange,
[00:17.82]but recently I’ve started thinking about what the places you arrange1 to meet say about you.
[00:25.26]Let me give you an example of what I mean.The other day,
[00:30.90]I arranged2 to meet a friend of mine outside the post office in Moss3 Side.
[00:37.36]a particularly rough4 area of Manchester.My friend was late-as usual.
[00:45.40]I had to wait for half an hour in the street.
[00:50.05]watching the police dreive by and the rain come down.While I was there,
[00:56.82]two people asked me for money and a big guy came up to me and said:
[01:03.37]What are you looking at? I suddenly thought:What  am I doing here?
[01:11.31]This is terrible place to meet!
[01:15.76]When I was younger,I used to meet people at bus stops
[01:22.00]because I didn’t want my parents to see who I was going out with.
[01:27.46]I didn’t want to meet in a bar because if I was the first one there,
[01:33.62]I’d look lonely and the manager might ask me my age.
[01:39.58]Now that I’m older and don’t live with my parents.
[01:44.75]I don’t care if I have to sit in a cafe or somewhere like that by myself.
[01:51.41]I’d rather look at bit lonely than be outside,getting cold and wet.
[01:57.66]The friend I met the other day is always worried about being left on her own in a bar,
[02:05.70]so I had to wait in the street,When she finally turned up.
[02:11.76]we had our typical opening conversation.
[02:16.52]Jane There you are.I was begining to worry.
[02:21.48]Sorry I’m late.The traffic was awful.The excuse can very,but it’s never;
[02:28.61]I’m sorry,I’m completely5 hopeless.
[02:33.47]I was basically6 just wasting time window shopping because I wanted to make sure you were here first
[02:41.54]so that I didn’t have to wait around for you.
[02:45.98]And then I say: Oh,well.never mind.At least you’re here now.
[02:53.64]Have you been waiting long?She asks.No.only five minutes.
[03:00.48]And off we go.I suppose I should get angry.
[03:06.54]but I don’t want so spold the evening.I guess it’s sign that I must be getting old.
[03:13.91]6.Pronunciation:weak forms
[03:23.05]from the airport
[03:28.98]from the station
[03:31.93]from work
[03:36.37]in front of the school
[03:39.53]in front of the station
[03:42.98]in front of your hotel
[03:46.46]the other side of the ticket barriers7
[03:50.22]at the front by the taxi rank
[03:54.19]at the end of your road
[03:57.84]at the check-in desk
[04:01.01]1.Shall I meet you at the airport,then? Yeah,Whereabouts?
[04:11.87]Oh,I’ll meet you at the check-in desk.OK?
[04:17.23]2.Where shall we meet,then?
[04:23.29]Do you know Bar,Q4,the one on Sorrento Street?
[04:29.14]Yeah.Well,I’ll meet you there in the upstairs bit.
[04:35.30]3.Where shall we meet,then? Do you know my hotel?
[04:42.85]No.Oh,right.Well do you know New Street Station,then?
[04:49.93]Yeah,Well.I’ll meet you there-just the other side of the ticket barriers.
[04:57.09]2.While you listen
[05:04.46]Rechel’s birthday
[05:16.11]Well,Rachel.happy birthday!Yeah,happy birthday.Rachel!
[05:23.68]Oh.flowers!They’re lovely!Thanks.I’ll just go and put them in some water.
[05:30.84]So,what would you like to do tonight,then?
[05:35.70]To be honest,I haven’t really decided8 yet.I’ve been so busy all day
[05:42.83]I haven’t really thought about it.What do you fancy9 doing?
[05:48.68]I’m easy.It’s up to you,really.it is you birthday.after all.
[05:55.16]I know.but I hate making decisions.
[06:00.20]How about going to see that musical which is on at the King’s?
[06:06.08]We could do,I suppose.Oh,no.that’s supposed to be awful.
[06:12.32]A friend of mine went and she left halfway10 through.
[06:17.00]Oh.right.OK.well.how about Ben’s cafe?They do jazz on a Wednesday.
[06:25.85]Yeah,we could do Ben’s if you want.Oh,Ben’s!Please.no!
[06:32.70]The food in that place is so expensive,and you only get tiny little portions11.
[06:39.86]Anyway.I hate jazz.I’d rather go somewhere else.if we can.
[06:45.00]Yeah,well.it’s not your birthday!
[06:49.68]Anyway.I thought you said you weren’t bothered what we did.
[06:54.64]No.it’s all right if Jamie would prefer to do something else.
[07:00.10]Listen,I’ve had an idea
[07:04.07]do you fancy going bowling12?There’s that bowing place in Moortown.
[07:10.84]Oh,yeah!I know the one.I’ve been there before.It’s really good.
[07:16.90]Yeah.sounds fine.OK.great.Let’s do that,then.
[07:22.75]What time do you want to go.then?Seven?Seven thirty?
[07:27.58]Can wwe make it eight?
[07:31.03]I want to have a bath,get changed and just chill13 out for a bit first.Yeah,sure.
[07:38.29]Whatever.I’m easy.Listen.though,
[07:42.97]I told Stella and Mike we might be doing something later.Oh.right.great.
[07:50.13]Do you want to give them a ring and tell them what we’re doing?
[07:54.57]Yeah,Where shall I tell them to meet us?
[07:59.53]You know where it is,don’t you?
[08:03.40]Yeah,I think so.It’s just near the station,isn’t it?On Otley Road.
[08:10.45]Yeah,that’s it.Well.we’ll meet them there-just inside the entrance,in the foyer.
[08:18.39]OK.By the way,do you think we’ll have to book the lanes14?
[08:25.44]I don’t know.I’ve never actually been there.Do you know,Jamie?
