(2) Review on 007 B

A: [Music] So, Colin, how do you rate the new James Bond movie that we've reviewed this week?

B: Well, Pauline, I'd have to say that I'm proud to give this movie my highest rating…four stars…and I would like to encourage everyone to go and see this movie soon! How about you, Pauline? You did like the new actor who plays James Bond.

A: That part's true, Colin; however, I have to give the movie only two stars…a rating of “fair.”

B: Hmm. Well, that's all from us tonight. See you next week. [Music]

(3) Book and Reviews A

A: What did you think of the new Stephen King book?

B: Oh, I couldn't stop reading it once I got started. I stayed up till four o'clock in the morning to finish it!

A: And wasn't the ending great?

B: Yeah, it really was! Such a surprise! And the whole story moved along so fast, too!

(4) Book and Reviews B

A: How did you like the movie?

B: Well, I walked out after half an hour. A: You did?

B: Yeah, it was so dull that I started falling asleep! And I've never seen such bad acting from Jim Carrey!

A: Oh, really? He's usually pretty good.

B: Well, not in that movie. I wish he'd choose better roles.

(5) Book and Reviews C

A: This John Grisham novel looks interesting.

B: Oh, it is. It's about a guy who joins a corrupt law firm and then can't leave. Luckily he has a brave wife who helps him out of the mess. A: Hmm. Maybe I'll read it.

B: Well, the movie is even better.

A: Oh, is that the movie that stars Tom Cruise? B: Yeah. Why don't we rent the video? A: You don't mind seeing it again?

B: Not at all. You rent the video, and I'll bring the popcorn.

11. So That’s What It Means!

(1) Body Language A

16 / 17

A: Have you met Raj, the student from India? B: No, I haven't.

A: Well, he seems really nice, but there's one thing I noticed. He moves his head from side to side when you talk to him. You know, like this. B: Maybe it means he doesn't understand you. A: No, I don't think so.

B: Or it could mean he doesn't agree with you.

C: Actually, people from India sometimes move their heads from side to side when they agree with what you're saying.

A: Oh, so that's what is means!

(2) Body Language A

A: So how are things at school, Raj? B: Oh, pretty good, actually.

A: Do you find it easy to communicate with people?

B: Most of the time-though there are some things I find a bit unusual-for example, the way that people end a conversation. You know, they'll say things like, “Hey, let's get together soon.” At first, I thought that they were inviting me to do something, but then I realized it's just a way of saying good-bye. It's not really an invitation at all. It takes a bit of getting used to.
