VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking Listening
Task 1: Only One Line
Peter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he’d only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?”

Task 2: Movie reviews
I love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend Monsoon Wedding. It’s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad
situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It’s great!
Among dramas, I like Adaptation. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.
The Pianist is set in the Second World War. It’s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in
Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.
Rabbit-Proof Fence is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it’s based on real events. It is about three
native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police. After this happens, the police send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.
1. What does the speaker imply by saying he wants to see the movie Adaptation again on DVD? A)
He wants to understand it better.
2. What happened to the young Polish-Jewish pianist in the movie The Pianist? C) He narrowly escaped death thanks to a few non-Jews.
3. Which of the following is true of the three native girls in the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence? C) They want to be with their mothers.

Nick: OK. It’s not yet in theaters anyway. It won’t be coming out until next week. What movies
are playing now?
Lisa: Let me check. There’s an action film starring Jet Li, and… Monster Night! It’s already in theaters.
Nick: What? It is? Which theater is it playing at?
Lisa: It’s showing at the theater in the mall. But I really don’t want to see it.
Nick: All the critics have given Monster Night great reviews. What times is the next showing？ Lisa: Well, if we hurry, we can make the three o’clock show. The show after that is at 4:30. But I’m too frightened to see this one.
Nick: Come on, Lisa! Don’t be a chicken. Let’s go! We have to get tickets before they sell out! F T F T F

Task 2: Dating in America
Before marriage, younger Americans date each other, that is, they often go out together. Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as “double dating.”
