[02:26.86]LISTENING,SPEAKING AND WRITING TASK
[02:35.40]1 Listen carefully to Act Two,Scene 3 as Henry meets the woman of his dreams.
[02:44.55]As you listen to the tape,make a few notes to use when you write your dialogue.
[05:00.98]READING AND SPEAKING TASK
[05:08.74]ACT Two   Scene 4
[05:12.58]At the end of the month,Henry was very rich and didn't fear jail².
[05:17.54]Dressed in the finest clothes,
[05:20.18]he drove³ by the brother's house in Portland Place and,
[05:24.62]seeing they were back,went to get Portia at her friend's home.
[05:29.59]My dear,the way you look today,
[05:32.96]it would be a crime⁴ not to ask for a good salary for the job they'll give to me.
[05:38.31]Oh,please remember that if we ask for too much we may get no salary at all;
[05:45.44]and then what'll happen to us,with no way in the world to earn a living?
[05:51.19]Good morning,gentlemen.Portia,these are the men who helped me.
[05:56.47]So very nice to meet you,kind sirs.
[06:00.23]Gentlemen,I'm ready to report.
[06:03.47]Er...Portia,I-
[06:06.84]We're both glad to hear it,
[06:09.19]for now we can decde the bet⁵ which Roderick and I made.
[06:13.55]If you've won for me,you shall have any job as my gift.
[06:18.10]Have you got the million pound bank-note?
[06:21.05]Here it is,sir.
[06:22.80]I've won!Now what do you say,Roderick?
[06:26.64]I say that I've lost twenty thousand pounds.
[06:30.61]I never would have believed it.Why,that is amazing,man!
[06:36.17]Come,let's be going now,Portia.
[06:39.12]But wait,wait!The job,you know.I must give you a job,as I promised.
[06:46.57]Well,thank you very much,but I really don't want one now.
[06:51.43]Henry,I'm disapointed in you.You didn't thank the gentlemen properly.
[06:57.99]May I do it for you?
[07:00.55]Let me see you try.
[07:02.71]Papa,he says he doesn't want anything else from you.
[07:12.74]My dear,is that your papa?
[07:15.91]He's my stepfather,and the dearest one that ever was.
[07:20.87]Oh,my dearest dear sir,I regret what I said.You have got a job open that I want.
[07:28.03]Name it.     Son-in-law.
[07:30.87]Well,well,well!But you've never had such a job before.
[07:36.23]How can I be sure you can do it successfully⁶?
[07:39.89]Try me-oh,do,I beg of you!Give me 30 or 40 years,and--
[07:46.13]oh,well,all right.
[07:48.87]Are Portia and Henry happy?There are not enough words
[07:54.02]in the biggest dictionary to describe it.
[07:57.78]Did the people of London have a good time with this bit of news?
[08:01.72]Yes.Portia's stepfather took that friendly bank-note
[08:07.18]back to the Bank of England and cashed it.
[08:11.02]The bank-note was then useless for money
[08:14.05]but was his wedding gift to the young couple.
[08:17.50]Yes,the bank-note was worth millions of dollars,
[08:22.18]but not worth one-tenth as much as how Henry felt about Portia.
[08:27.82]3 Listen to the tape carefully and try to learn the above dialogue by heart.
[08:35.47]Then act it out.Make sure you speak with expression
