Listen and practice. (unit 18 d1 )
Life is a question of choice or chance?
Charles: If you could recapture your childhood, Richard, would you change much? Richard: Life is a sort of arch. Arrival to departure. You can't switch direction,
Charles. Each century brings changes but actually, Nature doesn't
change.
Charles: But you can reach different decisions. With television, you can choose which channel to watch, switch to another picture. You could catch a different train. Given the chance, Richard, would you change trains?
Richard: Life is a rich adventure and largely a question of chance. You don't choose your future as you choose a chocolate or a piece of cheese.
Charles: But, Richard, you do choose. You forge your own fortune—a.butcher? a 'cellist? a teacher? a merchant? Each choice suggests a further choice— which tree, which branch, which twig?
Richard: Let's adjourn to the kitchen for chicken and chips. No choice for lunch, you see, Charles!
Charles: But you actually chose chicken and chips! Chops would have been much cheaper!
