DIALOGUE 2

Talking of studying english

Henry: Are you still studying English?

James: Yes, but I don’t get enough time for it. I have so many other things to do.

Henry: It’s the same with me. I can read English now without much difficulty, but I still find it rather difficult to speak it. Moreover, I don’t always understand people when they speak English to me.

James: We don’t hear English spoken enough, I suppose. Do you listen to the radio programmes from England?

Henry: Yes, I listen to the news and talks from London. That helps me to understand spoken English but not to speak English.

James: We must go to England, or the USA, for a holiday one day.

Henry: Yes, that’ll be the best way.

19. Memorize and reproduce Dialogue 2.
