3 T006 Listen and find the advice in Exercise 2 that Natalie, a personal coach, gives Marcus. Did you choose the same advice?
Текст аудирования:
Marcus: So you see … at the end of every party I find myself alone in the kitchen. Is it because my conversation is just too boring?
Natalie: Well, it sounds like you’re making a classic mistake there, Marcus. You don’t have to be interesting to be a social success.
Marcus: Really?
Natalie: No, not at all. But you’ve got to make it easy for other people to make conversation with you. When you meet somebody for the first time, you should introduce yourself first. You know… your name, where you come from, what you do, who else you know at the party. When you do that, it’s much easier to start a conversation about something that’s interesting for both of you. If you don’t, there’s the danger that you’ll both talk about how tasty the salad is or something. Marcus: Right.
Natalie: And when you meet someone, it’s worth trying to memorise at least one detail about them. Obviously their name but also the name of their boyfriend or girlfriend or children or, you know, their favourite football team, where they usually go on holiday … Then if you see them again, it’ll be so much easier to start chatting. You might find it useful to make notes on little cards where you write down what you remember about people after a party. And then before the next party, you can read your notes again. Marcus: Mmm. I’m not so sure about that idea. It seems a bit strange. The sort of thing a spy would do …
Natalie: Well, Marcus, a lot of my clients say it helps them. And then there are certain topics that everyone talks about — sport, the latest popular films or TV programmes or music. So I think you ought to make more of an effort to keep up to date with what’s going on.
Marcus: Well, I don’t know very much about films … I never have time to see any.
Natalie: So, Marcus, you’d better start reading a few film reviews at least. Also it’s really important to look as relaxed as you can when you meet people. Remember to smile a lot and speak in a clear, confident voice … that it’s coming from your stomach and not your throat.
Marcus: Ah! You mean like this?
Natalie: Yes, basically. You know, Marcus, you’ve got a lovely sense of humour. Why don’t you just be yourself?
4 T007 Listen and decide which of Natalie’s pieces of advice Marcus tried to use at his next party. Which was the most useful?
Текст аудирования:
Woman 1: Do you think this salad has got fish in it? I can’t eat fish … I’m allergic.
Man 1: I’m not sure, Karen. I think it might have tuna in it. This salad’s nice though. Sort of Mexican … no fish …
Marcus: By the way, I forgot to tell you that I’m Marcus Galloway, I come from Northampton, and I’m a musician. I’m a good friend of … er … er the guy in the green shirt over there.
Woman 1: What… you mean Justin? I don’t think he’s mentioned you.
Man 1: Excuse me a minute. I have to … er… make a phone call.
Marcus: It must be terrible being allergic to fish. Woman 1: Yes. It is.
Marcus: I love fish …
Woman 1: Sorry … I think my friend Emma over there wants to have a word with me.
Man 2: No, I don’t agree with you at all. It’s like any sort of music really. A lot of it is rubbish, but some of it is amazing. I mean look at Snoop Dogg … you’ve got to admit that his records sound fantastic.
Marcus: Of course, the first rap single was White Lines by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel… 1982, I think… or 1983.1 might be wrong. Er… Excuse me … I must just check something, er, in the kitchen … Marcus: … Er, hi! I’m Marcus. I’m, er, a musician, and I’m a friend of Gavin’s. And, er…
Emily: Oh really? You must know Ann then?
Marcus: Oh … Ann Kirby … yes, of course …
Emily: Nice to meet you, Marcus … I’m Emily — Ann’s sister. I’ve heard a lot about you … I’m a musician too. Do you want to help me with all this washing-up?
Marcus: Er… I’d love to. Oh, this is the same kind of washing-up liquid that I buy … apple and mint!
Emily: Marcus, you’re the first man I’ve ever met who’s begun a conversation by talking about washing-up liquid.
Marcus: Yes, well, I suppose I was just being myself… boring.
Emily: Er no, Marcus. I’d say original.
Emily/Marcus: So what kind of music do … ?
Man 2: Emily, have we got any cola left? Oh … sorry.
