![]() ![]() Jack: Roleplay 3 - Who is going to paint Rich’s house? Listen, I’ll get the bus to yours and we’ll do it together. I could get him to wash the windscreen at the same time - there hasn’t been any water in the spray thingy for years. Jack: A flat tyre? A mechanic? You don’t need to have a flat tyre fixed by a mechanic. I’ll have the mechanic take a look at it tomorrow. Jack: We have to get the bus? Why do we have to get the bus? Jack: Roleplay 2 - Who is going to fix Rich’s car? ![]() Short back and sides, it’ll look really smart and brown. Rich: Really, but it’s Liverpool red! Alright, I’ll get it cut this afternoon. I don’t think dyed red hair is very professional. Jack: Mmm … not sure how to say this but you should probably do something with your hair. It’s important to be confident and say things like I mean them. Jack: Like I was saying, in interviews, it’s not always about what you say but how you say it. Jack: Roleplay 1 - Who is going to cut Rich’s hair? Jack: Who is going to do the action in each roleplay: Rich or someone else? Roleplay Rich: While you are listening to each roleplay, we have a little task for you to do. ![]() In each roleplay, you’ll hear Rich talking about things that he needs to do in his house, free-time, and life in general. Jack: This week, you’re going to hear five mini-roleplays or dialogues. We’ll give you the answer at the end of the show and we’ll have a new football phrase for you to guess. The goalkeeper always has a decision to make: to stay on the line or come out for the ball, if a keeper decides to come for the ball they have to be decisive and not get ****** ** ** ***'* ****. An attacker can easily put the ball in the net either through chipping it over the goalkeeper or heading the cross into the net. This phrase is used to describe a goalkeeper who has come to collect the ball from a cross or a long pass and gets nowhere near the ball. Rich: Back to last week’s football phrase. Jack: Let them know in the comments section on the website if you can accept their invitations or not and use some of the language you learned in the last podcast. All three of them have invited all of you to different events in their countries. Rich: And thanks to wsanta from Argentina, Elghoul from Algeria and Bakursait from Saudi Arabia who completed last week’s task in the comments section. Jack: But a big well done to Luibomyr from Ukraine who has a 99.99% record with our football phrases, Lakerwang from China and Elghoul from Algeria who did get the right answer. Rich: Last week, I gave you a football phrase that was quite difficult and we didn’t get that many right answers. We’ll give you the correct answer at the end of the show when we give you a new football phrase. If you didn’t hear it last week we’re going to give you one more chance to guess now. Anyway, more of that later, first, we need to look at last week’s football phrase. The answer won’t be a surprise: he’s very lazy. We’re also going to find out how lazy Rich really is in a series of little dialogues. Jack: We’re going to look at sentences like this and others in this week’s podcast. In this sentence, someone did or cut Jack’s hair. Jack: I’m not talking about my hair, I’m talking about the sentence.
