Question

Listen again. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)? How do you know?

Answer

  1. F (I guess it was a bit odd. I’m sort of used to it now, though.)
  2. F (Ha ha. I’d take it as a compliment. It means he’s comfortable in your presence now! A: Lucky me! (Note that Anita is being sarcastic.)
  3. T (We were trying to haul ourselves up it) (Note that haul means ‘pull up using your arms and with great difficulty’.)
  4. T (He didn’t even really notice because he somehow snapped his wrist in the fall as well.)
  5. T (I guess perhaps I should cut him some slack then.)
  6. T (I was working at this summer camp in the States)
  7. T (while it hurt a bit, it’d probably be OK and that what I really needed was my bed)
  8. F (he could’ve stitched it if I’d seen him right away, but that it was unstitchable the following day!)
  9. F (it’s my own stupid fault, really)
  10. F (That must just have completely passed me by somehow.)
