Listening - Jumping to conclusions.

Part B - Listen to the explanations for the two events In part A. And take notes. What did happen? How similar were your explanations?

1 - I was on a cruise and saw something funny one morning. I was walking on the deck and I saw three people bending over the railing. I thought maybe they were seasick or someone had an accident or something. So, I went over to see if I could help. It turns out they’re all bend over the railing, because they were looking at some dolphins that were following the cruise ship. There were about eight of them and they followed us for a while. It was an amazing thing to see.

2 - I’m so embarrassed. I can’t imagine what people must have thought when they saw me out in my front yard in my pajamas. See, I had opened my front door to get the morning newspaper, but the wind accidentally blew the door shut behind me and the door locked. I couldn’t get back in the house. I saw that my bedroom window upstairs was open so I went into the garage and got a ladder. I was able to climb up the ladder and into the window. I’m afraid some of my neighbors might’ve seen me. I’ll have to explain to them what I was doing the next time I see them.
