My battery was flat

1. Listen and read.

a. Find words or phrases in the conversation that mean: 

1. to wait for a very long time =  wait for ages (chờ trong thời gian lâu)
2. to arrive =  show up  (đến)
3. to succeed in talking to someone on the phone = get through
(thành công trong việc nói điện thoại với ai)
4. “My battery had no electric power left.” = “My battery was flat.”
  (Pin của mình hết rồi.)
5. “Are you making a joke?” = “Are you kidding?”  (Cậu đang đùa à?)
6. “Let's do that again.” = “We can try again.”

 (Chúng tay hãy cố gắng lần nữa.)

b. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).

1.Phuc, Mai and Nick wanted to see a film today
at Galaxy cinema.
2.Only Mai and Phuc watched the film
3.Nick was asleep at home at that time.

4.Mai and Phuc could not reach Nick on the
phone.
5.Nick went to the wrong Galaxy cinema.
6.Nick will not be able to go to the cinema at 2.30

F

c. Why couldn't Phuc, Mai, and Nick see the film together as was their
plan? What was the problem? was it only because of Nick's mobile
phone?
They couldn't see the film together because Nick went to the wrong
cinema. They didn't communicate clearly about the name and address
of the cinema beforehand. Then they were not able to contact each
other because the battery of Nick's mobile phone was flat.
