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. |
