[00:07.08]you must be able to speak several different languages!

[00:54.13]their present house is not too bad.

[01:23.60]can I take a look at it?
[01:25.79]W: Sure, you're welcome any time by appointment,
[01:28.96]but I have to tell you the building is close to a railway,

[02:52.08]Q: What will the man do this Tuesday?
[03:12.02]6. W: Jimmy said that he was going to marry a rich French businesswoman.
[03:19.75]M: Don't be so sure.
