Unit 13 Ex. 36 кассета 50

a) Listen to the text and say what Tim agreed to do. - Tim agreed to eat the meal cooked by Jim.

   He didn't like to say “No”

Jim and Tim were good friends. But they were very different. Jim was hard-working, smart and modest, he was a loyal friend, too. But Tim was very lazy and slow (though he was devoted to Jim and kind). The contrast between the young men was so striking that people couldn't understand how Jim and Tim could be friends.
Once the two friends went camping together. They found a picturesque place at the foot of a huge rock and put up a tent there. In the evening Jim said to Tim “Here's some money. Go to the village and buy some meat”. “I'm so tired. - answered Tim – You go”. Jim didn't say a word but went to the village and bought some meat and bread. When he came back he said to Tim: “Here's the meat. Could you please cook it?” But Tim answered that he wasn't good at cooking. Jim had nothing to do but cook the meat himself. Cooking the meat capturing so busy that he asked his friend to cut the bread. “I don't want to”. - answered Tim. So Jim cut the bread. Then he said to Tim: “I'd like you to go and get some water please”. “No, I don't want to get my clothes dirty” - Tim answered. So Jim got the water. Finally Jim said: “The meal is ready, come and eat it”. “Well, I'll do that, - answered Tim – I don't like to say “No” all the time”.
