Takeshi and Roberto walk by a construction site and start talking about all the buildings that are being built in New York. Takeshi then talks about how much he admires the skyscrapers. Suddenly, Takeshi starts taking pictures of the site, but Roberto can’t understand why because nothing has been built yet. Takeshi explains that he thinks something famous may be there someday, like a hotel where the rich and famous stay, and he wants to be the only one with pictures of it before it was built.

Listen to two people talking about their puters. Pay attention to the expressions used. Then tell your partner what you like about the puter you use.1. I like the laptop because it’s very, very thin. It’s maybe less than one inch and it’s about four pounds and I can carry it anywhere I want.2. My favorite feature of my puter is the Instant Messenger.
