James: I can hear it. I’m not deaf! I just don’t want to pick it up.
Greg: But why?
James: At this time of day I always listen to the football results. Every day at 3.30. I don’t want to change that! So please, let me listen to the radio.
Greg: What a strict timetable he has. He acts as if he has a full day while he’s sitting getting bored all day… Okay. The football’s finished. End of program! It’s time for a cup of tea, isn’t it?
James: Yes, that’s right. I’m sorry, I’m an old man. If I don’t keep living in my regular old way, my days will just slip away. So I have to be careful.
Greg: I understand. It just seems so strange to me. Today young people live in such a different way, not planning too seriously, and if we have to change our plans, it doesn’t really matter.
James: I’m sure your life is happier, because your plans are achieved more easily, so you‘re more easily satisfied.
Greg: Maybe. Well, I’m sorry, Uncle James, but I have to go now. I have a meeting with my old schoolfriend, Roland, and I can‘t turn up late. You know, we’ve been meeting at the same time for 10 years. So it can’t be changed so easily, can it?
Training 3
James: “I am not young any longer, you know. So, since I retired I have had to keep my life busy not to get bored. I have my own old ways how to live my life and I don’t want any young know-alls to teach me. So if I don’t answer the phone while I am listening to the football results that’s the way it should be! I have been listening to the football news at this time of day for 20 years and it’s too late to change my daily routine. Besides, if I don’t keep living in my regular old way, my days will just slip away. Of course, my nephew Greg is too young to understand it. He thinks I am going mad. But if there is anything driving me mad it is the way the young change their plans and forget their promises!”
1. Why do you have to keep your life busy? 2. Do you want anybody to change your life style? 3. Why didn’t you answer the telephone when your nephew was visiting? 4. How long have you been listening to the football radio programme? 5. Why is it so important to you to keep living in your own way? 6. Why can’t your nephew understand you? 7. Is there anything annoying about the young generation?
