[00:04.99]1.How's it going? [00:11.23]The day that changed my life [00:15.39]When I saw Jim on the news,I didn't recognise him to begin with. [00:22.54]He looked really thin and his hair was falling out. [00:28.19]When I heard the reporter say his name.though [00:32.94]I looked a bit more closely and then I realised it was him. [00:39.00]I just brust out crying.,I was really surprised, [00:45.35]because we were never really friends when we were at school together. [00:51.28]He came from quite a poor family and his dad had been in prison. [00:57.65]Maybe it was just because he was looking for attention. [01:03.22]but I remeber that he could be a bit loud sometimes in class [01:09.69]and we were just very different,I suppose. [01:14.45]But to see him there,looking so lost and alone.begging on the street! [01:22.31]Well,it was just to so upsetting.It broke my heart,it really did! [01:29.36]The next thing I knew.I was ringing the TV station which had run the report. [01:37.02]I don't really know why-I just did it on impulse. [01:42.77]Anyway,they gave me the address of a hostel for homeless people. [01:49.61]I went down there the following day and it was really depressing. [01:56.09]It was filthy and the whole place stank. [02:01.34]Half the the people there were either drunk or mad-or both! [02:07.71]One of the workers showed me to where Jim was sleeping. [02:12.96]What amazed me was that he recognised me at once and said, [02:20.09]"Oh, Andrea.It's you' His vice sounded so sad, [02:26.86]but,at the same time-and I can't explain this very well [02:33.63]it was like I could feel something pulling us together. [02:39.37]I felt like it was destiny. [02:43.94]I'd like to say that things have been easy for us since then [02:49.90]and that love has run its true course. [02:54.16]but life doesn't work like that.does it? [02:58.81]What happened to Jim when he became homeless [03:03.80]was incredibly painful and he's had to fight to overcome his addictions. [03:10.46]To begin with,my parents were very unhappy about our relationship. [03:18.32]My father is a very successful businessman [03:23.36]and I know he wanted me to marry someone with money. [03:28.40]Still,they are slowly starting to accept my decision [03:34.36]and now that they've met Jim a few times they can see that he is a good man. [03:40.60]We've had a lot of support from people who've seen our story in the papers. [03:47.55]but we've also had a lot of negative comments too and we've both lost some friends. [03:55.31]The media have also put a lot of pressure on us. [04:00.88]I know Jim doesn't see it this way, [04:05.24]but even now it still makes me angry the way the papers [04:11.61]and the TV producers treat people. [04:15.97]I just think back to that first story. [04:20.94]Here was this completely broken man,living on the streets. [04:26.61]They came along and did their story on him.and do you know what they gave him? [04:32.85]Ten pounds and a cup of tea!That's it! [04:38.31]And then they got back into their big cars and drove off. [04:43.95]leaving him to go back to that awful hostel. [04:49.02]They do these stories,but none of them really care about people. [04:55.26]I can't forgive them for that. [04:59.34]Anyway,despite all that,we've managed to survive together. [05:06.18]He's a wonderful person,and I love him with all my heart. [05:12.14]4 Other kinds of feelings [05:27.47]1.Do you fancy going out for dinner later? [05:33.53]No.I don't really feel like it.I'd rather just stay in and cook here. [05:40.66]2.Do you fancy watching that film that's on later? [05:46.41]No.I'm not really in the mood for a comedy. [05:51.16]3.Do you fancy going jogging later? [05:57.12]No.I'm too tired to do any exercise.I've been on my feet all day at work. [06:04.67]4.Do you fancy going to that party later on? [06:10.63]No.I can't be bothered.It'll take ages to get there. [06:16.58]Two uses of the present continuous [06:29.15]Hi,it's Ben.isn't it?How's it going? [06:35.00]Oh.hello.Yeah,not too bad,thanks.How're you? [06:40.93]Oh,all right!I suppose.So what're you doing here? [06:46.80]Are you doing some shopping or something? [06:50.96]Yeah,I am.What about you? [06:55.40]Oh,I'm just having a wander around,you know. [07:00.08]There's not much you can do with all this rain.is there? [07:05.04]Oh,I know.It's awful. Yeah,I'm really fed up with it! [07:11.52]I mean,it rained all day yesterday.we couldn't do anything.Yeah. [07:17.86]I came here to get some sun. [07:22.02]You know.lie on the beach and take it easy.not sit around all day inside. [07:29.59]I could've done that at home in England. [07:33.54]I mean,we went out to the market the day before yesterday.but we just got soaked.Yeah [07:41.40]I know what you mean.Anyway,listen.I've got to go. [07:47.77]My wife's waiting for me.We're actually going to the market now. [07:53.34]I'd give it a miss,if I were you.it's not very good. [07:58.90]Well,anyway.I'll see you.
