1 Unit 5—Conversation 1

Mark: Have you got your tickets for the play?

Kate: What play?

Mark: The play which OUDS are producing。 You know,

the play I'm in at the Oxford Playhouse.

Kate: Oh, that play! Well, er ...

Mark: What about you, Janet?

Janet: What’s the play called?

Mark: Waiting for Godot, by Samuel Beckett。 You are

coming, aren’t you?

Kate: Beckett?

Janet: Why not?

Kate: Well, um, I'm sure you’ll be totally brilliant, Mark .。.

but I wish I could understand the play. It doesn’t make sense.

Mark: If only you were more patient, Kate. Beckett's a

fascinating writer。 You'll come though, won't you, Janet?

You really ought to see something like this at least once

during your stay in Oxford.

Janet: Well, I’m not sure.

Mark: Oh, come on! Please!

Janet: But if Kate doesn't understand the play, there’s no

way I'll be able to follow it.

Kate: Do you want to go?

Janet: Well, I love going to the theatre, and I’d really like

to see Mark acting。 And actually, yes, I think I should see a

play by Samuel Beckett。

Mark: Good! So you’re coming, Janet。 I wish you’d come,

too, Kate。 It’s a really good performance。

Kate: Well, OK, but I'm only doing it because you’re in

it。 When is it on?

Mark: Next Tuesday to Saturday。

Janet: How about going Friday night?

Mark: That's great. But you’d better get your tickets soon,

because we're expecting a full house.

Unit 5-Conversation 2

Kate: Well, what did you think?

Janet: It was 。。。 very interesting。

Kate: Ididn’t have a clue what was going on. Absolutely

nothing happened! I don't know why I bothered coming to see

it

Janet: I thought Mark was brilliant。

Kate: Yes, I did too, of course ..。

Janet: But I wish I had read the play before I saw it. If only

I had known the story, it might have been easier to follow it。

How long do you think Mark will be?

Janet: I guess he needs to get changed first. He said he'd

join us as soon as possible。

Kate: Here he is. Hi Mark!

Mark: Hi, what did you think? How was I?

Janet: It was ..。 very challenging。

Kate: It was so-so.

Janet: But you were brilliant! Well done。

Kate: You were awesome, Mark. Everyone adored your performance. Darling, you were to die for!

Mark: OK, OK, don’t exaggerate。 I wasn't that good!

Anyway, I've got some great news!

Janet: Tell us!

Mark: We've started talking about next term’s OUDS

play。

Kate: What’s it going to be?

Mark: Hamlet, by William Shakespeare!

Janet: Great! And who’s going to play Hamlet?

Kate: Don’t tell me, let me guess!

Mark: To be or not to be, that is the question!

Janet: I don't believe it. You’re going to play Hamlet?

Kate: Come on, let's celebrate 。。。 from Beckett to

Shakespeare. Today Oxford, tomorrow, Hollywood!

Voice-over These television viewers are trying to decide on

a programme to watch, by clicking on channels, and seeing

what’s on。 This practice is known as channel surfing。 In the

past, it was not difficult to decide what to watch on TV.

There were only three channels to choose from。 Cable

television has changed all that。 There are so many channels,

and so many different kinds of programmes to watch, many

viewers find it difficult to decide what to watch, even when

they are watching by themselves。 This business traveller

doesn’t like anything. Many people like a particular type of

programme.

Speaker 1 TV programmes I like watching are cooking

shows, um, comedy shows.
