--- Lesson 14 Do you speak English |
| [00:07.240] |
--- First listen and then answer the question. |
| [00:13.000] |
--- Did the young man speak English? |
| [00:18.640] |
I had an amusing experience last year. |
| [00:23.040] |
After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. |
| [00:32.240] |
On the way, a young man waved to me. |
| [00:36.680] |
I stopped and he asked me for a lift. |
| [00:40.640] |
As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. |
| [00:51.000] |
Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. |
| [00:56.800] |
Neither of us spoke during the journey. |
| [01:00.520] |
I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English?' |
| [01:14.640] |
As I soon learnt, he was English himself! |
