III. Listening In
Task 1: Don’t be a chicken!
Gilbert: Hey, Henry, is Sarah coming with us?
Henry: Yes. Why?
Gilbert: Nothing. I’m just asking.
Henry: Just asking? But why is your face flaming red? Ah-huh, someone has a crush¹ on Sarah, doesn’t he?
Gilbert: Who has a crush?!
Henry: Come on, Gilbert, don’t be such a chicken. If you like her, just go and tell her. Maybe she likes you.
Gilbert: But I don’t have the guts² to ask her out.
Henry: What are you so afraid of?
Gilbert: I’d totally die if she turned me down.
Henry: But that’s better than keeping everything to yourself. You’ve got to let her know. Come on! You’ve got to take a chance!
Gilbert: I don’t know… Well, maybe you’re right, but how am I going to tell her I like her?
