Extra felicity O’Dell fce

Six: Listen to a man talking at a special event. What
is the occasion?
A a retirement party
B a graduation ceremony
C a wedding
M I’m really pleased to be saying a few words at this
special occasion. I’ve known John for many years
now, almost as long as his parents. When we were
at school together, he was always the serious, rather
retiring one, working hard, doing well. My parents
always said they wished I were more like him. He
never seemed to have time for girls or parties. So it
was quite a surprise when he was the first of our
group to propose – and be accepted and by such a
beautiful and equally clever girl. It is my great
pleasure – on all your behalf – to wish John and
Anna – all the very best for their new life.

F
So was it as bad as you expected?
F
Not really. They’ve got this amazing new painless
drill there.
F
And is it painless? 
F
Well I didn’t feel anything. Mind you, I did have an
injection.
F
That’s good. Have you got to go back?
F
Just once. Next Tuesday. I’m in town for the
hairdresser’s then anyway, so it’s quite convenient.
F
What are you having done then? Another filling?
F
Another two, in fact. But just little ones, he says.
