【正文】 elings about things, and usually those feeling are right. The important thing is to act quickly! Up until now I39。ve been pretty lucky. The people I39。ve hired have all worked outno major problems so far. Wayne: When I have to make an important decision, I find I need to talk to a lot of people, get their input. If I have to do it myself, I get confused. It39。s like the more I think about something and consider all the options, the more frustrated I get. I could sit and analyze something forever. My friends say that I can always see both sides of everything, which makes it hard to decide on anything! You can imagine how irritated my friends must get. When I was deciding where to spend my long Christmas holidays last year, I asked everyone for help. Basically what I did was pose this question: Where would you go in December if you had three weeks? I listened to all the answers and then made my decision. You might think I39。m strange, but it worked. Based on everyone39。s advice, I went to Miami. I had an amazing vacation!Unit 6Unit6: Lesson A: ListeningFirst conversation Liz: Hi,...Pete? Pete: Yes. Hello. Liz: I39。m Liz, Donna39。s mother. Donna has told me all about you. Pete: Nice to meet you, Mrs. Morton. Liz: It39。s nice to meet you, too. So, are you enjoying the party? Pete: Yeah, it39。s great. This might be the last time I see some of these people for a long time, so I39。ve been pretty busy. I haven39。t had much time to sample the food. Liz: I know what you mean. I can39。t believe that all you kids are finally graduating. Donna has grown up so fast! Do you have any plans after graduation? Pete: Well, I39。ve applied for a teaching job overseas. I guess I39。ll probably find out if I got the job or not next week. Liz: You’re more adventurous than Donna. She39。s going to take a job right here in town, at least for the summer. After that, who knows? Pete: Well, you might be seeing me around here for a while longer, too. Oh,...wait a minute. I39。m sorry. I think Dan is leaving the party. Excuse me, Mrs. Morton, I39。ve got to talk to him before he goes. Liz: Certainly. It was nice meeting you, Pete. Pete: Same here. Liz: Oh, and good luck with your job search. Pete: Thanks. Thanks a lot. Second conversation Man 1: You know, I...uh...I kind of like this music. Man 2: Well, it is lively. I39。ll say that for it. Man 1: Great music for dancing. Man 2: Dancing? Yeah. I guess. For young people, anyway. Man 1: What? What, you think we39。re too old? Man 2: Oh, no. You39。re not thinking.. Man 1: And why not? It looks like fun! Why should we sit here while everyone else is having a great time? Man 2: If you start dancing to this music, you39。re going to make a fool out of yourself.Man 1: Hmm. That39。s what you think. Man 2: Anyway, who would you dance with? Man 1: Oh? Is that a challenge? Man 2: Oh, no. Woman: Hey, there. Want to dance? Man 1: Uh,...why...why, yes, I would, young lady. (turns to Man 2) Uh, excuse me. It39。s been real nice talking to you, but, uh, I39。ve got to go. Third conversation Woman 1: Mmmm,...this is delicious. I love stuffed grape leaves. Woman 2: Ummm. Me, too. It all tastes delicious. Do you think they made all this themselves? Or did they have it catered? Woman 1: Oh, no. George is a great cook. Why would they cater it? Woman 2: Really? Woman 1: Oh, yeah. Woman 2: George cooks? Woman 1: You didn39。t know that? Lynn39。s always saying that39。s half the reason she married him! Woman 2: Well, that is a good reason. She is really lucky. I wish my husband liked to cook. He pletely avoids anything that has to do with the kitchen. Woman 1: You know, my husband39。s talking about signing up for an Italian cooking class on Saturdays. Oh, I hope he does it. Woman 2: Oh. I wonder if I could convince my husband to do that. I39。d sure love being the taste tester for his recipes. Woman 1: Exactly what I was thinking. Well, I39。ll let you know when the class starts. Woman 2: Great! Please do. In the meantime, I think I39。ll go mention it to him. Talk to you soon. Woman 1: OK.

Yhe funny part is how it happened. Man: Yeah? Nicole: Yeah. OK, listen. They were on a cruise, and one night while they were sitting on the deck of the ship, looking at the stars... Man: Ah,...let me guess. He pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him. Nicole: No, smarty. The other way around. She asked him! She got right down on one knee and proposed. Man: Yeah? Nicole: Yeah! And he was pretty surprised, I think, but of course he immediately saidyes. Listen, they39。re planning a wedding. I39。m going to be a birdesmaid in the wedding, so, you know, I have to buy a dress and then... Woman: Why the long face, Tony? Tony: Oh, I just got some bad news today. Woman: What happened?
