UNIT 4 RECORDING 2

E = Emma, P = Presenter

E: Adele lives in a £6 million house in England ... but she likes the simple things in life.

She loves her dog, Louis Armstrong, and likes going for walks with him. She also loves

spending time with her mother, Penny. She has some close friends and likes going to

restaurants and spending time with them.

P: Adele loves singing, of course, but she doesn’t like doing big concerts – she says she’s

very nervous. She doesn’t like flying ... she hates the food on aeroplanes!

E: She wears simple black clothes for concerts, but at other times she likes comfortable

clothes. She doesn’t have lots of crazy clothes like some pop stars. She says, ‘I don’t

make music for eyes. I make music for ears!’

working with other people to create something wonderful ... a work of art ... maybe ...

or some beautiful music ... I don’t play an instrument, but I sing and I love dancing, too.

J: I am Juan ... I am Spanish ... I am a student at university. My subject is art history ... I

love music, I love painting, but I want to do something quiet, something artistic ... I

don’t like being with a lot of other people all the time ... I like being alone sometimes,

so I can think and look at beautiful scenery or something like that …

T: I’m Tom ... I’m a professional musician, a very friendly person. I like meeting people ...

and I like learning new things. I enjoy going out with friends, maybe to a bar or to a

restaurant for something to eat ... I like good food ... but I don’t like cooking …

A: OK ... Lucy ... she likes being outside …

B: Yeah, she loves being in the fresh air ... she doesn’t like being inside ...

A: Yes, so maybe the painting course is good for her ... because she likes being

outside ...

B: Mmm ... I’m not sure ... I think she wants something active ...

A: Or ... the sailing course. That’s outside ... and active. What do you think?

B: I think the sailing course is good for her ... because she likes being near the

water.

A: Yes, you’re right. It’s perfect for her.

B: Yes, I agree. So ... ‘Sailing’ for Lucy.
