What about cooking？ Can I cook my own meals？Landlady: Well, there’s a little kitchenette next to your room. It hasn’t got a proper cooker in it, but there’s a gas ring and an electric kettle by the sink. I find my students prefer to eat at the university.Student: I see. And is the room fairly quiet？Landlady: Oh yes. It’s at the back of the house. It looks onto the garden and it faces south, so it’s bright and sunny, too. It’s very attractive, really. And it’s just under the roof, so it’s got a low, sloping ceiling. Would you like to e and see it？ I’ll be in for the rest of the day.Student: Yes, I’m very interested. It sounds like the kind of room I’m looking for. Can you tell me how to get there？Landlady: Oh, it’s very easy. The house is only five minutes’ walk from Finchley Road tube station. Turn right outside the station, and then it’s the third street on the left. You can’t miss it. It’s got the number on the gate. It’s exactly opposite the cemetery.E. Monologue:Frankly, I’ve been delighted. As you know, I decided to give it up ten years ago. I put them all in the attic—all fifty of sixty of them—to gather dust, and forgot about them. Then I just happened to meet him one day in a bar, entirely by chance, and we got talking about this and that, and, well—to cut a long story short—he went to have a look at them, and this is the result. It’s for two weeks. And it’s devoted entirely to my work doing very well, too, as you can see from the little tickets on about half of them. You know, now that they’re hanging on the wall like this, with all the clever lighting, and glossy catalogue, and the smart people, they really don’t seem anything to do with me. It’s a bit like seeing old friends in new circumstances where they fit and you don’t. Now, you see her？ She’s already bought three. Heard her saying one day she’s ‘dying to meet the man’. Afraid she’s be very disappointed if she did. Interesting, though, some of the things you overhear. Some know something about it. Others know nothing and admit it. Others know nothing and don’t. By the way, I heard someone say the other day that the ‘Portrait of a Woman’ reminded her of you, you know. So you see, you’re not only very famous, but—as I keep on telling you—you haven’t changed a bit.Section。Lesson NineteenSection One:Tapescript.Dialogue 1:— Good morning.
