[00:04.99]1.How's it going?
[00:11.23]The day that changed my  life
[00:15.39]When I saw Jim on the news,I didn't recognise him to begin with.
[00:22.54]He looked really thin and his hair was falling out.
[00:28.19]When I heard the reporter say his name.though
[00:32.94]I looked a bit more closely and then I realised it was him.
[00:39.00]I just brust out crying.,I was really surprised,
[00:45.35]because we were never really friends when we were at school together.
[00:51.28]He came from quite a poor family and his dad had been in prison.
[00:57.65]Maybe it was just because he was looking for attention.
[01:03.22]but I remeber that he could be a bit loud sometimes in class
[01:09.69]and we were just very different,I suppose.
[01:14.45]But to see him there,looking so lost and alone.begging on the street!
[01:22.31]Well,it was just to so upsetting.It broke my heart,it really did!
[01:29.36]The next thing I knew.I was ringing the TV station which had run the report.
[01:37.02]I don't really know why-I just did it on impulse¹.
[01:42.77]Anyway,they gave me the address of a hostel² for homeless people.
[01:49.61]I went down there the following day and it was really depressing.
[01:56.09]It  was filthy³ and the whole place stank⁴.
[02:01.34]Half the the people there were either drunk or mad-or both!
[02:07.71]One of the workers showed me to where Jim was sleeping.
[02:12.96]What amazed me was that he recognised me at once and said,
[02:20.09]"Oh, Andrea.It's you' His vice⁵ sounded so sad,
[02:26.86]but,at the same time-and I can't explain this very well
[02:33.63]it was like I could feel something pulling us together.
[02:39.37]I felt like it was destiny⁶.
[02:43.94]I'd like to say that things have been easy for us since then
[02:49.90]and that love has run its true course.
[02:54.16]but life doesn't work like that.does it?
[02:58.81]What happened to Jim when he became homeless
[03:03.80]was incredibly painful and he's had to fight to overcome his addictions⁷.
[03:10.46]To begin with,my parents were very unhappy about our relationship.
[03:18.32]My father is a very successful businessman
[03:23.36]and I know he wanted me to marry someone with money.
[03:28.40]Still,they are slowly starting to accept my decision
[03:34.36]and now that they've met Jim a few times they can see that he is a good man.
[03:40.60]We've had a lot of support from people who've seen our story in the papers.
[03:47.55]but we've also had a lot of negative comments too and we've both lost some friends.
[03:55.31]The media have also put a lot of pressure on us.
[04:00.88]I know Jim doesn't see it this way,
[04:05.24]but even now it still makes me angry the way the papers
[04:11.61]and the TV producers treat people.
[04:15.97]I just think back to that first story.
[04:20.94]Here was this completely broken man,living on the streets.
[04:26.61]They came along and did their story on him.and do you know what they gave him?
[04:32.85]Ten pounds and a cup of tea!That's it!
[04:38.31]And then they got back into their big cars and drove off.
[04:43.95]leaving him to go back to that awful hostel.
[04:49.02]They do these stories,but none of them really care about people.
[04:55.26]I can't forgive them for that.
[04:59.34]Anyway,despite all that,we've managed to survive together.
[05:06.18]He's a wonderful person,and I love him with all my heart.
[05:12.14]4 Other kinds of feelings
[05:27.47]1.Do you fancy going out for dinner later?
[05:33.53]No.I don't really feel like it.I'd rather just stay in and cook here.
[05:40.66]2.Do you fancy watching that film that's on later?
[05:46.41]No.I'm not really in the mood for a comedy.
[05:51.16]3.Do you fancy going jogging later?
[05:57.12]No.I'm too tired to do any exercise.I've been on my feet all day at work.
[06:04.67]4.Do you fancy going to that party later on?
[06:10.63]No.I can't be bothered.It'll take ages to get there.
[06:16.58]Two uses of the present continuous
[06:29.15]Hi,it's Ben.isn't it?How's it going?
[06:35.00]Oh.hello.Yeah,not too bad,thanks.How're you?
[06:40.93]Oh,all right!I suppose.So what're you doing here?
[06:46.80]Are you doing some shopping or something?
[06:50.96]Yeah,I am.What about you?
[06:55.40]Oh,I'm just having a wander around,you know.
[07:00.08]There's not much you can do with all this rain.is there?
[07:05.04]Oh,I know.It's awful. Yeah,I'm really fed up with it!
[07:11.52]I mean,it rained all day yesterday.we couldn't do anything.Yeah.
[07:17.86]I came here to get some sun.
[07:22.02]You know.lie on the beach and take it easy.not sit around all day inside.
[07:29.59]I could've done that at home in England.
[07:33.54]I mean,we went out to the market the day before yesterday.but we just got soaked.Yeah
[07:41.40]I know what you mean.Anyway,listen.I've got to go.
[07:47.77]My wife's waiting for me.We're actually going to the market now.
[07:53.34]I'd give it a miss,if I were you.it's not very good.
[07:58.90]Well,anyway.I'll see you.
