Hi. You're listening to The English We Speak. I'm Rosie and today Li is with me. |
| [00:07.400] |
Hello. |
| [00:08.400] |
And today we're going to be talking about. Er, Li, what are we talking about again? |
| [00:16.400] |
I don't know, you're the one presenting the programme. |
| [00:19.400] |
I know, but my mind's just gone blank. |
| [00:22.400] |
Your mind has gone what? |
| [00:24.400] |
My mind's gone blank, which means it's completely empty, like a blank piece of paper. |
| [00:28.890] |
Oh dear, completely empty? Right, let's start with something basic then. Do you remember what your name is? |
| [00:40.400] |
Of course I remember what my name is. When you say your mind has gone blank, it means you've forgotten what you were going to say. |
| [00:47.100] |
Oh, I see. So in this case you completely forgot what you were supposed to be talking about in this programme? |
| [00:54.500] |
Exactly. Do you remember it happened to me when I had to give that presentation. |
| [00:59.600] |
Right, now Rosie is going to talk a bit about the project and its aims. |
| [01:03.300] |
Yes. Well, erm erm. Sorry, my mind's just gone completely blank. |
| [01:13.300] |
Well, don't worry. It happens to the best of us. I was in an interview once and I couldn't think of an answer to a very simple question. |
| [01:24.300] |
So Li, can you tell us a bit about yourself? |
| [01:28.300] |
Ah, yes. There's so much to say, I don't know where to begin. Let's see. Sorry, my mind's just gone blank. |
| [01:40.300] |
Right, I see. |
| [01:46.300] |
Ha. And did you get the job? |
| [01:49.300] |
Yes, I did. I was really surprised after my mind went blank like that in the interview. I suppose I was the best candidate. I do have a lot of experience and they must have really liked me as a person. |
| [02:03.300] |
Ah, I've just remembered what we were supposed to be talking about today! We were going to discuss. |
| [02:08.300] |
Sorry Rosie, but it's a bit too late now. Next time, perhaps? If your mind doesn't go blank, that is. |
| [02:15.690] |
It won't. Thank you Li. |
| [02:19.300] |
