22.1 Mini dialogue Dear Tony, (May I call you Tony?) I’ve been a fan of yours ever since I was only 15. I ve bought all your CDs, and I think you’re absolutely fantastic. I thought “a man alone” wad amazing, and “you’re Gonna Be Someone” is even better. What a pity I haven’t got a CD player any more! This is the reason I’m writing to you: I’ve just found this amazing new group. I can’t quite remember their name, I’m afraid, but I know they really like your records. I wonder if you could help me (I’m their manager, by the way) by getting us a recording contrast with your company? Please let me know as soon as the contract is ready. You can’t ring me, I’m afraid, because I haven’t got a phone any more, but you can always write to me. I can’t wait to heat from you. Yours sincerely John Berry 22.2 A It’s a really reasonable restaurant. Would you say it please, Aiko? Er…Could you repeat it, please? It’s a really reasonable restaurant. It’s a-leary-really-leally- No, Aiko! Can’t you pronounce the letter “r”yet? Would you say it please, Macro? It’s a really reasonable restaurant. Now you try again, please Aiko. It’s a leary-oh; it’s no good! I can’t pronounce that word! English is an awfully difficult language for us Japanese! Oh, I speak it so badly! It’s not true, Aki. You speak English very well. You make very few mistakes in Grammer when you speak. Your English is almost as good as mine. Why are you being so horrible to her, David? He isn’t being horrible. My David is just doing his job! Your David? Well, well. Don’t interrupt while I’m speaking, please. It’s ridiculous that Aiko still can’t pronounce “really”. David taught it in yesterday’s lesson and she’s forgotten it already. Obviously she didn’t listen to him. I did listen, Juanita, it’s just that I find English pronunciation terribly difficult! Hey, I’m sorry, Aiko, OK? Let’s talk about something else. I want to tell them our wonderful news. David and I are engaged. We’re going to get married. Oh, that’s lovely!
