متن انگلیسی درس

Stephen! For goodness’ sake, you’ll scare the postman away. Anyway, it’s too early. The postman usually comes at 11.

Yeah. You’re right. He’ll probably be late. He’s got to carry all those cards for me.

It’s Valentine’s Day today and Stephen takes it very seriously. He thinks he’s going to get a lot of cards this year.

I sent lots of cards, so I’ll get lots of cards – simple.

Stephen, it doesn’t work like that. Anyway, I thought you were going to help me with my online profile.

The speed dating didn’t really work out. So now Stephen thinks I should try online dating to see if I can meet someone on the internet.

Yeah, we’re going to try it, Ash. Come on, let’s take a picture. You’ll need one for your profile. I’m a very good photographer.

OK, then. Come on.

OK, so now you have to describe yourself.

So, I guess we could say, tall, beautiful, funny, clever, thin, successful.

Or maybe you could just tell the truth?

Stephen! OK, then. Which of these statements sounds most like me? Am I: A: Quiet and shy; B: Outgoing and chatty; C: Optimistic and confident?

Ah, definitely optimistic and confident.

Quiet and shy. OK, hobbies… Tick all the boxes that are true for you. Let me see… OK, playing cards, yes, gardening, yes, walking, yes.

Err, hang on, Ashlie. I’ve never seen you do any of those things.

Well, I’m trying to sound mature. You know, more grown up.

Mature? You sound like an old lady! You’re supposed to tell the truth.

The postman. Just the one card, Stephen?

It’s not how many you get, Ashlie. It’s the thought that counts. Ooh, listen to this, ‘Your eyes are like diamonds that shine in the sky.’

Stephen, is that your writing?

Err, no.

Err… yes it is, Stephen. Did you send yourself this card?

No, Ashlie. I notice you didn’t get any. Anyway, how’s your profile going?

All finished actually. Now I just need to wait for a reply. Oh my goodness! That was quick!

Quick. Open it, Ashlie. Let’s see who you got.

Strange photo.

What’s the message? What does he say?

Well, his name’s Barry. He says our interests are the same – they match perfectly. He wants to meet.

Oh, do I hear wedding bells?

Well, I think I should meet him. He sounds nice. But Stephen – you will come, won’t you? Just to keep me safe?

OK. But how will you recognise each other?

We could wear a red flower or something?

A red flower? That’s a silly idea. You never wear flowers. Maybe you should wear something green. I know – a green scarf.

OK. Let me message him. OK, done. Ooh, I’m going on a blind date!

Stephen! What on earth are you wearing?

Shh – I’m in disguise.

Yes, but why?

So no one recognises me.

Right. OK. Look, I’ll sit on that bench over there. You text me if you see him arrive. Remember, green scarf.

Green scarves everywhere – I should have worn a flower

Look right – Man in hat – Green scarf – Flowers

Ashlie? Ashlie Walker? Oh, no.

Ashlie, you asked for that. I told you, you needed to tell the truth.

Right, that’s it, Stephen! I give up on dating.

Come on, grandma!
