Listening LISTENING 01 I need to buy a snowboard
Lucas and Jin Hee meet in the café.
Lucas:
Hi Jin Hee! What are you doing?
Jin Hee:
Oh, hi, Lucas. I'm just looking through the newspaper. I need to buy a snowboard for my ski trip this weekend.
Lucas: You should look in the classifieds section. It has ads for all kinds of things like jobs, pets, cars, and anything you want to buy.
Jin Hee: Oh, I see.
Lucas: Here, let me help you.
Jin Hee: Thanks.
Lucas: Have you checked to see what the weather will be like for your trip?
Jin Hee: No, not yet.
Lucas: See, the index says the weather is on page 73.
Jin Hee: Hmm...let's see...it's going to be cold and snowy in the mountains. Perfect for snowboarding!
Lucas: Oh, here's the sports section. Wait, Jin Hee, I want to see if the Cowboys won the game last night.
Jin Hee: I saw that game on TV. The Cowboys lost 24-10.
Lucas: Oh no! Well, let's keep looking.... Wow! Look at that photo! What does the caption say?
Jin Hee: It says, " Morris, the fattest cat in the world, weighs 27 kilograms." Can you believe it?
Lucas: No, it's unbelievable! I've never seen a cat that big before!
Jin Hee: Lucas, look at this! In the first column. The headline reads: " Police catch heavy-handed thief." I heard this story on the radio this afternoon. It's very funny.
Lucas: You can tell me about it later. Here are the classifieds, right before the comics. Now let's see if there are any cheap snowboards. Then I want to read my horoscope for today.
Jin Hee: Do you believe horoscopes really tell you what is going to happen?
Lucas: Yes, it's usually pretty accurate. I read it every day.
Jin Hee: Mmmmm…..
