10. Transcript part 1
- Good morning Darling, how are you feeling today?
- Thanks, I'm feeling OK, thanks. What's that sound? Are our
neighbours testing their new power tools?
- No, this time it's not our neighbours but our kids.
- Our kids? What are they doing?
- Well, you'll be surprised -- they are listening to the CD you bought
them for Christmas.
- Ah, I see. But why aren't they using their headphones?
- Headphones? Do they have headphones?
- Yes, of course they do. They are just not using them to provoke us.
11. Transcript part 2
Oh, come on. Don't say that. They probably think we
should be listening to their music, too.
- Right. I should be listening to Techno songs at 9
o'clock on a Sunday morning. You must be kidding!
- 9 o'clock? It's 10:30, the sun is shining and your
parents are coming in two hours. How about getting
ready for them?
