2.2 Future Me

Moći ću...

1 Listen

Listen and put the events in chronological order.

JOHN: Hey, Sarah, do you ever think about the future?

SARAH: Hm, honestly, no. I like the present. Why? Do you?

JOHN: Well, yes. In the next ten days my baby brother will be born. I have to start thinking because my life will change completely.

SARAH: Yes, yes... And in a year he will start walking and in three years he will start talking... And then, he will start school... Don't be silly. You sound a bit jealous.

JOHN: I am not jealous. Well, maybe a little. In two years we will finish primary and start secondary school, you know. My parents usually make a huge fuss about everything. I kind of like it. I just pretend I don't.

SARAH: So cool. We'll go to the same secondary school, right?

JOHN: Right. What about university? I'll study physics, I think.

SARAH: Not in a million years. I'll do something with the languages.

JOHN: I feel better now. If numbers don't lie (and maths never lies) in ten years we'll both graduate from university and move house.

SARAH: UUUUU... Imagine having a house for yourself. Video games marathons, parties, surfing the net all day long…

JOHN: Don't think so. When they move house people usually find a job, get married and have children. It doesn't sound too exciting.

SARAH: A job? Children? Stop right away, John. Let's play Fortnite while we still have time!
