    Vincent and his sister Catherine discuss a party they both recently attended. Vincent found it difficult meeting and talking to so many new people at the party, as he is not comfortable introducing himself to strangers. He recounts to Catherine several long-winded stories that different people at the party told him, including about summer holidays, novels, floods, and graduations. While Catherine seemed to enjoy talking to new people, Vincent was mostly bored by the conversations. However, he did enjoy briefly speaking with one woman about cooking, finding her interesting to talk to.

    Exercise 40
    C: It was quite a good party, wasn’t it?
    V: Yes ... though there were lots of people we didn’t know. I’m not that keen on
    going around introducing myself to strangers ...
    C: Oh, I enjoy new faces ... and everyone was very friendly ...
    V: They certainly were! I heard enough people’s life stories to last me a lifetime!
    C: Oh, there was one woman who told me all about her summer holiday ... in great
    detail...
    V: Was that the woman with short blonde hair? She told me ...
    C: No, she had long straight brown hair ... she was wearing big green earrings...
    V: Yes! I know who you mean! Did you meet the writer? A tall man with curly grey
    hair...
    C: No, was he interesting to talk to?
    V: Well, he did most of the talking! He told me the entire plot of his latest novel... an
    adventure story set in Nicaragua. I couldn’t get a word in edgeways ...
    C: A man was telling me about the narrow escape he'd had when his village was
    flooded last winter...
    V: Wow!
    C: Yes ... the police were travelling around in small boats checking everyone was all
    right. This man was trapped on the roof of his house for fifteen hours, but he was
    eventually rescued by the Fire Brigade ...
    V: Another woman was talking to me about her daughter’s graduation ceremony: the
    party beforehand ... then everything about the ceremony ... the speeches ... what the
    students did. She just couldn’t see that I wasn’t interested in this at all. I mean ... I’ve
    never even met any of these people...
    C: Dear me! You didn’t have very good luck, did you?
    V: Well, just before the end of the party, I met this nice young woman. We were
    talking about cooking. She’s just done a Mediterranean Cookery course. When I told
    her I was a chef, she was very interested ...
    C: I see! Well now ... (fade)
