Listening LISTENING 01 At the wedding
It's Mathew and Sophie's wedding day and they have invited their family and friends. It is now after the wedding and the guests are celebrating at the reception.
Layla sees her old school friend Jenny.
Layla:
Jenny! Well, look at you!
Jenny:
Oh, what a surprise! Layla! Long time no see. How are you?
Layla: Really good. What about you? You look like you've been busy?
Jenny: Yes, I guess I have been. As you can see, I'm pregnant. That's my husband, Tom, over there, the tall one.
Layla: Oh, he looks nice.
Jenny: Yes, he's wonderful. We've been married for two years now.
Layla: Congratulations. You look radiant, Jenny.
Jenny: Thanks, Layla. What about you? Last time I saw you, you were engaged. Are you married?
Layla: No, it didn't work out. We wanted different things.
Jenny: I'm sorry to hear that.
Layla: Oh, that's OK. There are plenty more fish in the sea. Hey, I'm about to go on a three-month holiday to Europe.
Jenny: That sounds great. So, have you finished your study?
Layla: Yes - finally! When I come back from Europe I start work as a research assistant.
Jenny: Good for you.
Best man: Excuse me, excuse me, everyone. Could I have your attention? We just have a few speeches to make before dinner.
Layla: I'll talk to you later, Jenny.
Jenny: Yeah, we have a lot of catching up to do.
