Listening LISTENING 01 What happened to your leg?
Ben and Nat meet outside City College.
Nat:
Hey, hi Ben. What happened to your leg?
Ben:
Oh, I hurt my ankle.
Nat: Did you break it?
Ben: No, I sprained it. It's really painful.
Nat: Yeah, I'm sure it is. How did you sprain it?
Ben: Oh, I fell down the stairs outside my apartment.
Nat: Oh, no!
Ben: Yeah it really hurt. My neighbour drove me to the hospital.
Nat: When did it happen?
Ben: Yesterday afternoon. The doctor said I should stay in bed but it's too boring. I can walk with these crutches.
Nat: That's good.
Ben: Yes. I should be okay in a week.
Nat: You know, I broke my leg three years ago.
Ben: Really? How did you break it?
Nat: Oh, I had a bad motorbike accident.
Ben: Sounds terrible.
Nat: Yeah it was. I didn't go out for five weeks. I was in hospital for two weeks and I stayed at home for three weeks after that.
Ben: So is your leg okay now?
Nat: Yes but it took a long time to get better. You really should take care of your ankle.
Ben: Okay, okay I know!
