Question
Listen again and make notes. Work in pairs and briefly summarise each story.
Answer
- Clare: While out on a date, she went to a burger restaurant. Feeling nervous and excited, she put sugar instead of salt on her burger by mistake. She was too embarrassed to say anything and ate it all, pretending to enjoy it. She doesn't know whether her companion noticed or not.
- Luke: He was working in a hotel, serving in the bar, when he was asked to stand in as a waiter at a formal dinner event. He was feeling stressed and he tripped and fell and dropped mashed potato on the shoulder of a smartly-dressed woman at the table.
- Rachel: Her great aunt and uncle were travelling on the train from Wales to London. When the train stopped at a station, her great aunt got off the train to buy cups of tea from the buffet, came back out through the wrong door onto the opposite platform and boarded a train back to Wales. She spent a lot of time looking for her husband before realising what had happened. It was so stressful that that they stopped travelling completely after that.
