Action 2 – Review – Mid Exam

Listening

1- Organize the story: (Track from Unit 5)

( ) When I go out with a girl, I don’t like to hold hands all the time. I have sweaty hands. It

makes me feel bad, and most girls don’t understand that.

( ) You started the conversation, man…

( ) Ted, I understand what you’re saying but don’t you think that this attitude of yours

may be simply a reaction to something else?

( ) Hahahahaha, I’m just kidding.

( ) Oh no, there comes the psychology…

( ) I’m sorry Ted, but I’m with Elena on this. Do you really expect your girlfriend to guess

things? You can’t really be serious!

( ) What???

( ) Of course she didn’t care. You two studied at Saint Paul High School. You couldn’t

hold hands at school.

( ) Come on, girls. You need to cut Ted some slack. The guy is a bit shy. And let’s face it.

There’s no doubt that you girls tend to be too clingy sometimes. Hahahaha.

( ) Ted, have you ever tried to explain to them why you don’t want to hold hands? They

may see your attitude as indifference.

( ) What do you mean?

( ) Yeah she didn’t care we didn’t hold hands or hug at school.

( ) What Lana is trying to say, Ted, is that you don’t like PDA. That’s it. And I couldn’t

agree more.

( ) Wow, Wow, Wow. I think you’re wrong on this! I DO care about them. But there are

certain things that don’t need to be said. Do you remember Ana Swam?

( ) That girlfriend you had on high school?
