VIII Lesson 10 Listening and Grammar (tapescript)
N Hi, Wanda. Did you have a good holiday?
W Oh, yeah, we had a great time. But I have to tell you – the most amazing thing happened.
N Really? What was that?
W Well, Roy and I were at the beach near the hotel and we were swimming in the sea - it was our first day – and this huge wave came along and knocked my sunglasses into the water. I…
N Why were you swimming in your sunglasses?
W Oh, I don’t know. I’d just left them on top pf my head. I’d forgotten they were there. Anyway, they were gone. I couldn’t find them anywhere. I was really upset. You know Roy had given me those glasses for my birthday. And they were really expensive.
N I remember – nearly £100.
W Yeah. Anyway, I had to have sunglasses, so I bought a new pair – just a cheap pair this time. The next day I was lying on the beach, sunbathing. Then, suddenly another huge wave…
N you didn’t lose another pair of sunglasses?
W No, no. I’ll never believe this. There was another huge wave. It completely covered me. I was so wet and…
N Are you sure this was a good holiday?
W Yeah – but listen! When I looked down, there on the sand, right next to me, were my expensive sunglasses. The ones I had lost the day before. I couldn’t believe my eyes!
N You’re joking! That is amazing!
