Very British Problems, een tv -serie op Channel 4, is leuk om te kijken en geweldig voor het beoefenen van Engelse luister- en spreekvaardigheden. Het is vooral handig voor degenen die zich voorbereiden op IELTS, Cambridge FCE,, CAE En CPE.
Deze clip is afkomstig van de eerste aflevering van zeer Britse problemen (seizoen 1 - aflevering 1 - andere mensen).
Grace Dent, Tameka Empson, Jocelyn Jee Esien en James Corden mijmeren over pogingen om menselijk contact te vermijden.
Transcriptie
I live on a street where -- when I come round the corner, I often see some of my neighbours standing in their gardens and I sometimes just go and hide round the corner... and go on my phone for a bit because I don't want to talk to them about the bins.
You know when you try to avoid somebody and you pretend you're on the phone...?
"Sorry, I've got take this," and it's not ringing. It's clearly...
"I have to take this."
"Hello?"
"Sorry, my love. What did you say? Mm-hmm. Oh, wow."
"Yeah, OK. Sorry, can you..."
(He mouths)
"Sorry, sorry... Hmm?"
(She titters)
I've done that a load of times and people will just believe you.
They will go, "Oh..." [HE MOUTHS]
That's it. It's a great one.
"Sorry, I've got to... Hello?"
Gone, see you later, bang.
That's a real favourite of mine.
Yes, who but the British could see the mobile phone and realise that its main benefit would be as a means of AVOIDING conversation.
