Card 18

Listen to the conversation between two friends and answer the questions below.

1. What does Christian want to become?

2. Why does Kate need to learn English?

3. What piece of advice does Christian give to his friend?

Christian: Hello, Kate! I hear you’re learning English now. Why?

Kate: Hi, Christian. Oh, yes. Two years ago I learned French, but now I need English for my future career.

Christian: You’re right. As for me, my ambition is to be a businessman and it’s impossible to become a successful businessman in Norway if you don’t know English. That’s why I’m learning English hard now and I attend special courses.

Kate: So do I. My ambition is to be a tourist manager. I’ll visit different countries and talk to different people. When you are in different countries, you can manage a lot better if you understand people and people understand you.

Christian: Right! English is an international language nowadays.

Kate: Your English sounds perfect. How long have you been learning it? Christian: Well, for about five years now.

Kate: Can you give me any advice about learning English?

Christian: Welt, you say you like travelling, right?

Kate: Yes, I’ve already been to some foreign countries but unfortunately, not to English-speaking ones.

Christian: That doesn’t matter. When you travel, try to speak English as much as possible. Practice is very important if you want to speak English well.

Kate: I agree with you. Thanks a lot for your advice!
