Unit 28: I enjoy it
1. I enjoy making things.
Francis | Hello. Come in. The door's open. Hello, Brian. |
Brian | Hello, Francis. What are you doing? |
Francis | I'm making a bookcase. I like books. I like buying books and I enjoy reading them. But I don't want to buy a bookcase. |
Brian | Why not? |
Francis | Bookcases are expensive. And I enjoy making things. So, I'm making a bookcase. |
Brian | Well, I'm playing tennis this afternoon. Would you like to play? |
Francis | No, thanks. Not this afternoon. It's too cold and I'm busy. I'm making this bookcase. |
Brian | You never play tennis. |
Francis | Yes, I do. I sometimes play. But I prefer watching it. |
Brian | I like tennis. I like playing tennis. I enjoy playing tennis. |
Francis | I enjoy watching tennis. And I enjoy making things. Like this bookcase. It doesn't matter. I'll start again. |
2. Brian is good at tennis.
Beryl | Who's winning? Brian or Peter? |
Ann | Brian's winning. |
Beryl | He usually wins. He's good at tennis. Peter isn't. Look! |
Brian | Thanks, Beryl. |
Ann | Peter plays well sometimes. |
Beryl | He isn't playing well today. He's playing very badly. Where's Francis? |
Ann | He's at home. He doesn't like playing tennis. |
Beryl | He enjoys watching. He often comes here and watches. |
Ann | And sometimes he plays tennis too. He played against Brian last week. |
Beryl | Did Brian win? |
Ann | Yes, he did. Francis isn't good at tennis, I'm afraid. |
Beryl | Yes, Peter is better than Francis. |
Peter | Well ... that's it. Why do you always win? |
Brian | Because I'm better than you are, Peter. Did you enjoy the game? |
Peter | Not much. |
Brian | Why not? |
Peter | Because you played well and I played badly. And I didn't enjoy playing badly. |
Brian | Hahaha ... |
Ann & Beryl | Hello. |
Beryl | Brian played well. |
Ann | Brian is good at tennis. |
Beryl | Peter isn't good at tennis. |
Ann | Brain played better than Peter. |
Peter | Ann, what happened to your arm? |
Ann | I broke it. In a game of hockey. |
Beryl | Who did it? |
Ann | Susan. |
Peter | And what did you do? |
Ann | I broke Susan's leg. |
Beryl | You broke her leg? |
Ann | Yes. |
All | Hahaha ... |
3. I want to make you an omelette.
Mary | Can I help you? |
Peter | No, dear. It's your birthday today. So, I'll make the dinner. I want to cook dinner for you. |
Mary | But I'd like to do it. |
Peter | No. I want to make you an omelette. Would you like one with four eggs or five? |
Mary | Two eggs will be enough. But I don't like omelette very much. |
Peter | What do you want in your omelette? Cheese? Tomato? |
Mary | I'd like plain omelette. Eggs and salt and pepper. |
Peter | But it's your birthday! And you'll enjoy my omelette. There, cheese and tomato. Oh, did I put salt and pepper in the omelette? It doesn't matter. It's too late now. The omelette is ready. Your omelette. I'll make another omelette. |
Mary | No, dear. Let's go to a restaurant. |
