Town n Country
Town and country
Chris: I was born in a small country village, It was too quiet.
Stan: You were lucky!
Chris: I don't think so. There wasn't much thing to do. That's why many young people go to London.
Stan: But London's too expensive for young people.
Chris: But they still go ...they want excitement.
Stan: Hmm ... I don't want excitement, I just want a quiet life, that's all.
A Hard Life:
Jerry Floyd is talking to his grandfather about his new job:
"It's terrible granddad. I have to get up at 7 o'clock because I have to catch the bus to work. Because I'm new, I have to make the tea. I have to work hard... I'm only happy at weekends, I don't have to work then. "
His grandfather isn't sympathetic:
"I had to work when i was 14. I lived in South Wales and there wasn't much work. I had to be a coal miner. We had to work 12 hours a day. We didn't have to work on Sundays ... but we had to work other six days of the week. "
" When I was 18, the first World War started. I joined the army. I had to wear a uniform, and I had to go to France. A lot of my friends was died. We had to obey the officers, and we had to kill people."
" When I was 60, I had to go into hospital because of dust from the mines. It's was only quiet time in my life ...I didn't have to work, I didn't have to earn money.
But life's still difficult and I don't feel sorry for you."
