听力题 M: Mummy, I’ve been thinking I might go to London at the end of the week. W: Oh yes? M: Yes, a friend of mine wants someone to share a flat and I thought it would be a good opportunity for me. W: Well, that sounds good. Where exactly is this flat? M: Well, we haven’t exactly got one, but I thought I might go and look. W: But I hear it’s very difficult to find flats in London these days. M: Not at all, people get themselves fixed up in no time. W: Oh well, I suppose you know better than me. What will you live on while you’re there? M: I’ll get a job. I’ll write to the Appointments Board. W: Just any sort of job? M: Whatever there is. W: I’m not sure I like the idea of your going off all the way to London without a proper job and with nowhere to live... That’s what I say. No one can accuse me of trying to keep you at home. Who is this friend of yours? M: A boy called Ted Slater. He was at Oxford... and he is a sort of research student. W: Well, it sounds like a very nice idea. After all, you won’t want to stay here all your life with your poor old mother, will you? It seems you’re very eager to be off. M: Well, it’s just that I can’t stay here all my life, can I? W: Of course you can’t. Have I ever tried to keep you at home? It was always me who said you must go. And your father wasn’t any too keen, believe me. M: Well, you had to cope with both of us.
