Unit 3

Activity 9 Listen and complete the notes. What is the speaker complaining about?

James: Let’s go home. I don’t like this party.

Helen: Why? I’m having a great time. The music is good, isn’t it?

James: Well, I think it’s terrible. It’s too loud, and it sounds like noise, not music. And the room is too hot for dancing, anyway. 

Helen: Why don’t you have something to eat? 

James: I don’t like party food. It has too much salt.

Helen: How about a drink then?

James: I tried some of the cola, but it’s too cold.

Helen: Well, you can talk to some people. Then you might feel happier. 

James: The people aren’t very friendly! Nobody is talking to me at all.

Helen: Well, I’m not surprised, really. Maybe everyone is afraid of talking to you! You look so angry!

James: (Sigh)Maybe you’re right. I should try to be a bit friendlier myself…
