Listening task in the workbook

Two androids

Their likes and dislikes

B: Hey, Sally, how are you today?

S: Oh, Brenda, I’ve been so busy and tired this week looking after the children. I wish my programmer would let me work in a factory like you.

B: No, you wouldn’t. It’s so boring. We aren’t allowed to talk while we work.

S: But at least you don’t have five children to run after every day. They’re so naughty.

B: But at least every day is different. I do the same thing for eight hours every day. I sometimes feel as I my arm is going to break.

S: Oh, Brenda, you make me laugh, you should like a real person. Come on. It’s a lovely day! Look at those flowers! They look so pretty!

B: I see people put them up to their noses. Why’s that?

S: They say that they’ve a wonderful smell, but I don’t know what that means.

B: Well, don’t cry again. It made your chips go funny last time. Just understand that we’ll never be able to laugh, tease, smell or eat food. But don’t feel sad! It’s a lovely day.

S: Yes, the weather is nice and I’ve been invited to join the other androids for a game of football. Would you like to come?

B: Yes, I would. Running after a ball is better than running after five children! Let’s go!
