Today we are listening the dialogue. We are going to remember the words and expressions on this topic and learn some new information. Besides, we'll practice your listening skills.

1. Who is fond of U2 (Linda)?
2. Why does she like U2? (you can hear electric guitar and drums listening U2, it`s  expressive and modern)
3. Why did John and Linda argue? (they have different points of view about music and it`s styles)

Activity 2. You`ll listen to the dialogue one more and your task will be to match the sentence halves (ex 1b, p 142) – slide 5.

3. My piano teacher …..gave me a few hints.

THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON!

Transcript

Part 1

Linda: What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?

John: Maksim’s concert a year ago. He’s been my idol for years. Maksim’s the absolute king of the piano. Actually, I haven’t been to a concert since then.

Linda: A boring piano concert? And you call that music? It’s just old-fashioned “plink-plonk” on the keyboard! No electric guitars, no drum section, no hands in the air. You are not so IN.

John: I don’t care about being IN. What’s in today is out tomorrow. I don’t care about trendy stuff, I care about top quality music. I’ve built this world of my own.

Linda: What world?

John: My own music world – no INS and no OUTS, just the best stuff from the past and the best from the present. My piano teacher gave me a few hints.

Linda: Come on. How can you be so snobbish? I bet you didn’t go the U2 concert.

John: No, I didn’t. I hate all this artificial hysteria the media created about it.

Part 2

Linda: There is nothing artificial about U2. There were a hundred thousand people at the stadium. And a giant stage. And giant loudspeakers.

John: Yes, I heard the music all right. I had to close the windows but those “ka-booms” went through the walls all the same.

Linda: So you heard it after all? All those messages of love and peace…

John: Come on! Chopin’s music is about love and peace. And Mozart’s. It has survived for centuries. It’s romantic and soft like love itself.

Linda: Hello! That’s the taste of a hundred years ago or so. You have to wake up! You should….er…no, you must listen to what all the young people are listening to today.

John: Should? Must? Come on. There are no “should” or “shouldn’ts”  or “musts” or “mustn’ts” in music. You know that as well as I do. Music is a matter of taste, it’s your personal choice, like the friends you choose, beliefs, attitudes, colours and whatever…

Linda: Oops! I got carried away. I haven’t been myself since I heard U2 live. Right. There’s no point in arguing about matters of taste, of course! Sorry, mate.
