I39。t like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things. It39。s good to a point. I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others are going through. But when you hurt, cry, or are unhappy for people you don39。m Korean or I39。ve been living in Canada for a long time, haven39。t you?Angela: Yes, I was 10 years old when my parents immigrated to Canada and I39。m Canadian.Interviewer: That sounds plicated.

Jake and Charles sat like that for the whole period until the bell rang. When they stood up they were stiff and sore.I don39。d found it hard to understand their English.A great number found the British generally reserved, particularly the English, although one Australian visitor called the English the friendliest people in the world and most hospitable. But she did admit that speaking the same language was a great help.Some Asian businessmen, who had traveled widely throughout England, said quite openly that they found North country people much nicer than people in the South. When asked what exactly they meant by much nicer, one of them said, with a playful smile on his face, By much nicer I mean much more like us!A few continentals praised English courtesy, but the majority found it dishonest and dull.

Are you sure darling?Tom: Yes, he gets angry very quickly.Mother: That doesn39。m sure you39。 S2 = the second speaker。t expect. We asked them to be selfcritical...to ask themselves exactly what they thought they lacked or—the other side of the coin—what virtues they had.

My wife and I have two sons. We...we didn39。t show up when it got dark. I began to worry about her. She was a good dog, a really good retriever. She39。ve roasted two ducks and left them there for him in the other room. Don39。ll get either one of these. Exercise 11. A 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. CExercise 21. T 2. F 3. T 4. T 5. F 6.
