[00:18.90]Now listen again to Connie and Steven as they discuss his plans for the future
[00:17.90]and the things he would rather do.
[00:16.90]Would you rahter get a new job or have your weekends free?
[00:15.90]I'd rather have my weekends free.
[00:14.90]You know,with the baby and all...I read about a job not far from Stamford.

[00:07.90]Would you rather get a new job or have your weekends free?
[00:06.90]Would you rather get a new job or have your weekends free?
[00:05.90]We use Would you rather...?
[00:04.90]to start a question in which you give someone a chice between two possibilities.
[00:03.90]Now you're going to hesar two possibilities mentioned
[00:02.90]and you combine them in a quesion starting with Would you rather...?
[00:01.90]For example,you hear...
[00:00.90]Work in television or in radio.And you say...
[00:-0.10]Would you rather work in television or in radio?
[00:-1.10]You hear...Live in Stamford or in Hartford
[00:-2.10]And you say...Would you rahter live in Stamford or Hartford?
[00:-3.10]OK.let's begin.Work in television or in radio?
[00:-4.10]Would you rather work in television or in radio?
[00:-5.10]Live in Stamford or in Hartford.
[00:-6.10]Would you rather live in Stamford or in Hartford?

[00:12.10]Get a new job or have your weedends free.
[00:13.10]Would you rather get a new job or have your weedends free?
[00:14.10]When we answer a question that gives us a choice,like Would you rather...?"
[00:15.10]we usually answer with"I'd rather"followed by the base form of the verb,
[00:16.10]For example...Would you rather live in New York or in Los Angeles?
[00:17.10]I'd rather live in Los Angeles.
[00:18.10]Now you're going to hear some questions that give you a choice between two possibilities.
[00:19.10]Either answer you give is correct if it starts with"I'd rather."
[00:20.10]For example,you hear...
[00:21.10]Would you rather live in Washington,D.C.or in your own city?
[00:22.10]And you can say either...I'd rather live in Washington,D.C.
[00:23.10]Or...I'd rather live in my own city.
[00:24.10]Remember that there is no correct or incorrect answer.
[00:25.10]It's your opinion,so just answer using I'd rather...
[00:26.10]and the rest of the sentence.Ready?Listen and answer these questions.
[00:27.10]Would you rather live in Washington,D.C or in you own city?

[00:32.10]Would you rather live in a very large city or in a very small town?
[00:33.10]When we state our preferences,that is,
[00:34.10]when we say what we prefer or do not prefer,
[00:35.10]we often start the answer with I'd rather or I'd rather not.
[00:36.10]For example,if the questions is...
[00:37.10]Would you rather work in television or in radio?
[00:38.10]We can answer this way...I'd rather not work in television.
[00:39.10]Or we can say...I'd rather not work in radio.
[00:40.10]Now you're going to hear some questions
[00:41.10]followed by a cue to help you with the answer.For example,you hear...
[00:42.10]Would you rather work in television or in radio?
[00:43.10]Television.And you say...I'd rather work in television.
[00:44.10]But when you hear...Would you rather work in television or in radio?
[00:45.10]Not radio.You say...I'd rather not work in radio.OK.let's begin.
[00:46.10]Would you rather work in television or in radio?Television.

[00:53.10]I'd rather not ride horses.Would you rather read a book or go to a movie?
[00:54.10]Read a book.I'd rather read a book.
[00:55.10]You know that I'd rather do something means the same as I'd prefer to do something.
[00:56.10]and I'd rather not do something means the same as I'd prefer not to do something.
[00:57.10]Now,when you hear a sentence with "I'd rather"
[00:58.10]or"I'd rather not"change it to"I'd prefer"
[00:59.10]or"I'd prefer not"or the opposite.For example.you hear...
[-1:-0.10]I'd rather live in Stamford.And you say...I'd prefer to live in Stamford.
[-1:-1.10]You hear... I'd prefer not to play tennis today.And you say...
