--- First listen and then answer the question. |
| [00:11.600] |
--- Why did Elizabeth tell Nigel that she was going to the dentist? |
| [00:20.720] |
I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. |
| [00:28.360] |
It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. |
| [00:34.600] |
I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. |
| [00:38.880] |
He never has anything to do. |
| [00:42.400] |
No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. |
| [00:49.200] |
I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning. |
| [00:56.560] |
'Hello, Nigel,' I said. 'Fancy meeting you here!' |
| [01:02.200] |
'Hi, Elizabeth,' Nigel answered.^“ |
| [01:05.840] |
'I was just wondering how to spend the morning -- until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you?^“ |
| [01:16.920] |
'No, not at all,' I answered. 'I'm going to...' |
| [01:22.560] |
'Would you mind my coming with you?' he asked, before I had finished speaking.^“ |
| [01:30.960] |
'Not at all,' I lied, 'but I'm going to the dentist.'^“ |
| [01:37.120] |
'Then I'll come with you,' he answered. 'There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!'^“ |
