Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice.
Louise: John.
John: Oh Louise. Hi.
Louise: I’ve just arrived for my singing lesson with Mrs Thompson. What are you doing here?
John: I’ve come for a singing lesson too.
Louise: Well, if it’s a secret I won’t tell anyone.
John: It’s OK. Louise, I’m going to be in a musical show, so everyone will know soon. Louise: Really! But can you actually sing then?
John: Well, I was taught to sing at school you know, but now I’m in the show I thought I’d better have a few more lessons.
Louise: Good idea. What do you think of Mrs Thompson? She’s really strict, isn’t she? John: She is, but I think if you want to sing properly, then she’s the best teacher. You don’t have to like her to see that she’s really brilliant.
Louise: Oh, I suppose so, it’s just that she makes me feel so nervous. How did you get chosen for the show?
John: Well, I went to -see a few musical shows before Christmas. I don’t know why, because I’d never really liked them before, and I thought I’d like to do that so I tried for a part in the show at The Regent Theatre and got it.
Louise: Well done ... so have you actually done a show yet?
John: Yes, we’ve done a practice show just for family and friends Louise: So, how did you feel?
John: Well, when we’d finished I wanted to cry because I was so delighted that I’d actually got through it without making any big mistakes Louise: But did people like it?
John: Yes they did, and it was great to have an audience.
Louise: I would love to be able to sing and have everybody listen and clap.
John: It’s quite hard to do a musical show, actually. You have to dance as well as sing.
It’s hard work to get it right.
Louise: Oh, I wouldn’t be keen on that. I’m only a singer really. When does the show open?
John: On the 9th of October. Would you like a couple of free tickets?
Louise: Oh yes! Thanks!
