2 Read and listen to the dialogue. Which of the faults in exercise 1 does Andy complain about? Do you agree with the advice Jessica gives Andy? Why?/Why not? 

(Đọc và nghe đoạn hội thoại. Andy phàn nàn về lỗi nào trong bài tập 1? Bạn có đồng ý với lời khuyên mà Jessica dành cho Andy không? Tại sao tại sao không?)

Andy: Well, Tom never asks about what I'm doing. ¹ He's always talking about his life and what he's going to do, but he doesn't care about anyone else!

Jessica: Yes, I've noticed that ² he never takes an interest in other people. Are you going to do anything about it? 

Andy: What can I do? ³ That's the personality he's got.

Jessica: ⁴ Next time you see him, tell him that it annoys you. I'll tell him if you want because it irritates me too! 

Andy: Perhaps I should, because ⁵ his attitude is really putting me off him. If he can't change his behaviour, then I don't see how we can stay friends. ⁶ Our first lesson tomorrow is English. I'll speak to him then. 

Jessica: Good idea. If he's really a good friend, he won't get angry. 

Andy:  Well, thanks for your advice. ⁷ I'm playing football this evening, and it looks like it's going to rain, so I'd better go home and pick up my waterproofs. See you. 

Jessica: OK. Good luck with Tom!
