Текст аудирования:
Jane: Where’ve you been, Mark? I haven’t seen you for ages.
Mark: I’ve been at university in Liverpool.
Jane: Liverpool, eh? I’ve been there. Did you have problems understanding the locals? They have a very strong accent, don’t they?
Mark: I couldn’t understand some things at first, but after a while I got used to it and now it’s no problem whatsoever. It’s not just the way they pronounce the words, either. They actually speak their own dialect, called Scouse.
Jane: How do you mean?
Mark: I mean they have their own words for some things. Instead of food they say ‘scran’.Thank you is ‘ta’. They don’t say lots of, they say ‘bags of’. When I first went out with some friends from Liverpool, I needed a dictionary to understand what they were saying.
Jane: But the grammar’s the same, isn’t it?
Mark: Not always. Instead of ‘we were playing’, they might say ‘we was playin.’
Jane: So what are you studying at university?
Mark: English!
