PART I - The Dialogue
我们的记者Geoff Howard访问两位住在大桥饭店附近的居民，饭店坐落在住宅区。饭店里有个乐队，到了晚上就演奏。有的居民喜欢这种音乐；有的居民感到讨厌。这段话在广播里分三部分播放。

GEOFF：
We're talking about live music at the Bridge Hotel.(问）Jean,what do you think of live music at the Bridge Hotel?
JEAN:
Well,in my opinion,it's the wrong place for live music.
GEOFF：
Why is that?
JEAN:
The hotel's in a residential area.
GEOFF：
Paul,how do you feel about this?
PAUL:
If you want my opinion,I think Jean Thomas is reacting too strongly.Many people in the area need somewhere to go. And they like the music at the Bridge Hotel.
GEOFF：
But rock'n roll's noisy, isn't it?
JEAN:
Right!
PAUL:
That's true,but the band stops at ten o'clock.

Well,thank you, Jean ang Paul,for giving us you opinions.

上面的词汇表里列举了征求意见，发表意见，表示同意或不同意的多种说法。在广播里，Barnara和John谈论了音乐。John 征求Barnara的意见，Barnara提出了自己的看法，他们用了下面一些说法：
JOHN:
What do you think of Click Go The Shears?
BARBARA:
It's good.
JOHN:
What do you think of Waltzing Matilda?
BARBARA:
I think it's good too. 19
JOHN:
Which is better?
What's your opinion?
BARBARA:
Waltzing Matilda. It's better known.
（这首歌在澳大利亚更为出名）
JOHN:
What do you think of this version?
BARBARA:
I think it's very nice.
提问人（John）对于对方（Barbara）的回答，可以做出下列表示：
Yes, I agree
}表示同意
I think so too

或：I don't agree

I disagree }表示不同意

I don't think so
注意：
英语说 I don't think so ， 否定词not在动词think之前；中文说：“我认为不是这样的”，否定词和否定部分连在一起。
PRONUNCLATION CORNER

I agree

Your opinion
再练习下一句辅音和后面元音的连续：
I don't agree

PART IV -The Songs
你将在广播里听到两首著名的澳大利亚民歌Click Go the Shears《羊毛剪子咯嚓嚓》和 Waltzing Matilda。 以下是两首歌的合唱部分，供你听广播时参考。

CLICK GO THE SHEARS
Click go the shears,boys,
Click ,Click ,Click !
Wide is his blow and his hands move quick.
The ringer(干活最快的剪羊毛工人）looks around and is beaten by a blow,
And curses the old snagger(干活不细致的剪羊毛工人）with the bare-bellied yoe.(母羊）
WALYZING MATILDA （背着铺盖去流浪）
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Maltzing Matilda,You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda,with me." 20
