【英语时差8,16】和朋友相聚

 William: Hello and welcome to Ask About Britain, the programme where we answer your questions about British life and culture. A lot of young people in China like to go to a karaoke¹ bar when they want to catch up or have some fun together. Yang Li: That’s right. It would be interesting to find out whether young Brits have similar tastes or not. Martin: If I was going to see friends of mine, we might go out into the park or go for a walk or play football. Karaoke wouldn’t be something that we would do; but we might sit down and watch TV. Li: Together, with friends? Martin: That's right, yes, or we might watch a film. I like to go out to restaurants; I'm not much of a one for clubbing, although people are, you know, and they will drag you along. William: That was Martin, a young professional² in his late 20s. He said Karaoke wouldn’t be something he and his friends do together. Instead they might go for a walk or play football.
