Listening InTask 1: Encore!As soon as the singer completed the song, the audience cried, “Encore! Encore!” The singer was delighted and sang the song again. She couldnt believe it when the audience shouted for her to sing it again. The cycle of shouts and songs was repeated ten more times. The singer was overjoyed with the response from the audience. She talked them and asked them why they were so much audience in hearing the same song again and again. One of the people in the audience replied, “We wanted you to improve it; now it is much better.”1.F 2.T 3.F 4.T 5.FTask 2 What are your favorite songs? W: Hi, Bob! Do you want to go to a concert with me? M: A concert? Whats it about? W: It features recent pop songs. Are you interested? M: Hmm, I was crazy about pop songs when I was in high school, but now Im no longer a big fan. Pop songs go out of fashion too quickly. Im beginning to prefer old folk songs. W: Many older people find those songs cool, and my parents are hooked on them too. By the way, a program of golden oldies was on TV yesterday evening. M: Oh, what a pity! I missed it. W: I have a DVD of oldies. I can lend it to you if you want. M: Oh, that would be great. Im dying to hear them.
