Lucy: Hello, lovely students, and welcome back to English with Lucy. Today, William and
I, because you may have noticed that my husband is here with me. William: Hello, everyone.
Lucy: We've got a listening slash conversation lesson. I think it's going to be interesting
for you, but also for us. We might end up learning something about each other.
William: Maybe. Hopefully not, because we've been together for nearly six years.

screen, as we are talking, interesting vocabulary, words and phrases will appear.

William: Me too; I have no idea what the questions are going to be.
Lucy: No, neither do I 'cause one of my lovely teachers prepared them. Okay, I'll go first. What is my favourite food?
William: Fruit, as a general answer. Fruit. But to be specific: watermelons.
Lucy: Yeah. Oh, there's nothing like a good watermelon. And part of the fun of a
watermelon is that they're not grown in England, and you can't access them. So when
you go abroad, and there's a great watermelon... I sound like a total weirdo, don't I?
Watermelon. You can't access them.
William: I don't know. I think the ma ority of people, whenever they go abroad and
come to an exotic fruit... I mean, coconuts for me.
Lucy: Oh yeah. Will loves a coconut.
William: This isn't my question. )YOUTUBE.COM/ENGLISHWITHLUCY LISTENING LESSON © lOMoAR cPSD| 49431889 Lucy: No. So don't take over. William: Sorry.
Lucy: Okay, that was a really easy one. I've made no secret of the fact that I'm absolutely
addicted to fruit—total fruit bat.
William: Well, I also normally buy you a watermelon every birthday. Lucy: That's true.
William: And Easter because you don't like chocolate eggs.
Lucy: I do like chocolate eggs, but I prefer, I'd prefer a watermelon. I mean, you can get
chocolate anytime, but a good, in-season watermelon in the UK? That's a luxury!
William: Yeah! What did Will wear on your first date?
Lucy: I know this like the back of my hand because I remember calling my mum
afterwards and being like, "He's so nice, but he wore a fleece," because I thought that
was so weird. But there's this brand of fleece that only farmers seem to wear called
Schoffel. I'd never seen it before, but it's a very soft fleece with a leather trim. And I ust
thought... I'd never been out with a farmer before, and I thought that's a farmer.
William: You'd also ust come back from Spain. Lucy: Yeah.
William: So if they were selling them in Spain, I would've said that they're in the wrong market. PART 1: VOCABULARY 1)

William: Yes. You brought beer to the cinema. Lucy: In my handbag.
William: In a cinema that didn't serve any alcohol.
Lucy: I ust brought, well, I brought only one for you because I'd also ust passed my
driving test by that point. It was February, and I drove you there in my little car, and it
was traumatic because I wasn't a very confident driver. William: No.

Lucy: Okay. My turn. Who is better at remembering important dates? William: You. Lucy: Why?
William: Because my memory is appalling. No, it is not appalling. My mind thinks very
quickly, so when I think of something, unless I write it down five minutes later, it might
have drifted off, and something else has come in and replaced it.
Lucy: I like the way you didn't say that you are forgetful. You said I think too quickly. I'm
not forgetful; I'm ust too fast. Life cannot keep up.
William: So many ideas. Have you gone from laid-back to 'think too quickly'? I ust can't
keep up with myself, and now I'm crying with laughter. Lucy: Why are you crying?

farm. There was no option, really.

Lucy: And it was only when we moved away that we started having lots more options,
lots more opportunities to see other people go away. And then, we almost went through
a phase where there were too many invitations and too much going on, and there were
multiple invitations on each weekend. And so I put in place a shared calendar, but then
we've had issues with you agreeing to things but not putting it on the shared calendar.
William: I've gone the other end of the spectrum, haven't I? Lucy: Yes.
William: I ust said yes to everything.
Lucy: There were quite a few times where you'd suddenly realised that you'd said yes to
about three different people on the same day. But you know what? It's good problems
to have. Look at us complaining about having too much fun.
William: Too popular. Ooh, this is a good one. Who is tidier?
Lucy: Now, that's the hard one.
William: Yeah. I'm wondering what your answer's going to be.
Lucy: Yeah, so am I. I'd say that we are like swans. Okay. We glide along beautifully like that. Everything looks fine.
William: Yeah, that looks ust like a swan.
Lucy: But underneath the surface of the water, it's like legs are ust everywhere. And I
feel like that's what our personal life is like. Our business life-
William: We're talking about tidying here. )YOUTUBE.COM/ENGLISHWITHLUCY LISTENING LESSON © lOMoAR cPSD| 49431889
Lucy: I'm getting there, okay? William: Right.

William: I hope a lot of people can relate to that.
Lucy: Yeah. I think probably part of my problem growing up was I had the tidiest mum on
earth, and I almost rebelled against it. I feel like your mum was very tidy as well.
William: She was. She had to look after three boys.
Lucy: So we were spoilt, and we never learnt to tidy for ourselves. I would say we're
both pretty similar on tidiness, as in both quite untidy. What do you think?
William: Well, what do they call it? Agree to disagree.
Lucy: Do you think I'm tidier?
William: I think I'm slightly better. Lucy: Okay. I'll accept that.
William: For the sake of the video.
Lucy: No, for the sake of our marriage.
William: Sorry, I've still got tears in my eyes. )YOUTUBE.COM/ENGLISHWITHLUCY LISTENING LESSON © lOMoAR cPSD| 49431889

William: I feel like diving into something new; you are a little bit more up for it compared
to me. But when we actually get there, I feel like I'd probably then take the reins.
Lucy: I think this could describe our whole relationship. I feel like I'm very quick to go for
something and adapt to it, and then you end up doing it better in the long run. And I'm
thinking of every board game we've ever learnt. I always learn the instructions really
quickly, and I win for the first 1 rounds, and then you get it, and then you absolutely take
over. Yeah, I would agree with that. I think that's spot on. Although with sports and
taking risks, maybe you are slightly more adventurous.

you coming back and said, "Everything we asked him, the guy ust said, '11 %, 11 %,

William: And this was when I pretended to be on the farm, and I was actually going to
London to collect the engagement ring.
Lucy: Yes. What a terrible lie. William: Yeah.
Lucy: I don't think I've ever really lied unless it's like-
William: Keyword there, "really."
Lucy: Really. No, I think it's ust like you have the odd white lie, don't you? William: Yeah.
Lucy: You know, but nothing serious. But I think more as honesty as a personality. I'm not
one of those people that will not be able to sleep unless I tell the absolute truth on how
I'm feeling in every single conversation. If someone asks me, "Do you like my dress?"

William: I think it was a red British and Irish Lions rugby acket.
Lucy: I went to the ends of the earth for that. And by the ends of the earth, I mean Luton.
William: The acket itself... So the British and Irish Lions, for those of you who don't
know, it is a combination of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. And they play every four years- Lucy: Rugby.
William: Rugby against the Southern Hemisphere, whether it's South Africa, Australia
and New Zealand. And it's something that's on my bucket list of going on one of their
tours. It lasts two weeks to a month. And I've always followed them ever since I was a
young child, I always wanted their kit.
And there was one acket in particular that I saw that year, which I really, really wanted,
and I almost bought it for myself. But when I went to purchase it online on a website,
and it said there's one left in stock, I said, you know what, I'm going to buy it tomorrow.
And I went back the next day, and it had gone, and I was distraught. And this must have
been two weeks before Christmas Day, and Christmas Day came, and I opened up my
present from Lucy, and there was this bright red British and Irish Lions rugby acket. And
you then told me the story of how you got it. )YOUTUBE.COM/ENGLISHWITHLUCY
