Englishpod第十一期(👈音频自取哦)
A: Oh, I don’t know if you heard, but someone moved
into that old house down the road.
B: Yeah, I know. I met the owner of the house yesterday
as he was moving in. His name is Armand.
A: Really? What’s he like? You have to fill me in.
B: Actually, he’s a bit strange. I don’t know... I’ve got
a bad feeling about him.
A: Really? Why?
B: Well, yesterday I brought over a housewarming gift,but Armand started acting really weird, and then he practically kicked me out! I tried to, sort of, peek into his house, but everything was so dark inside that I couldn’t really get a good look.
A: Well, you’ll never guess what I saw this morning.
A delivery truck pulled into his driveway, and it dropped off a long, rectangular box. It almost looked like a coffin!
B: You see! Why would he...
C: Hello ladies...
B: Ah, Armand! You scared the heck out of me! This
is my friend Doris.
C: A pleasure to meet you...If you are not doing anything tonight, I would like to have you both for dinner.I mean...I would like to have you both over for dinner.
