III. Listening In
Task 1: David Copperfield is coming.
W: My brother is going to pick up some tickers for the David Copperfield show. You interested in coming with us?
M: I don’t know. I’ve been card tricks before, and rabbits from hats. I even do tricks myself—watch me change this coin into an ice cream cone 1.
W: Very funny. David Copperfield is the world’s greatest magician 2; he’s certainly worth a look.
M: Actually, I have seen him on television. He pulls off some pretty amazing stunts 3. I wish I knew how he performed his tricks. Then I could also make a person float in the air. I could pull a rabbit out of my hat. I could escape from a straitjacket and handcuffs—all underwater. And I could saw a woman in half.
W: A magician never tells his secrets. David attempts the impossible and no one has any idea how he does it. I saw him on TV when he walked through the Great Wall of China.
M: How could he do that?
W: I have no idea, but I know what I saw: He entered a canvas 4 shelter on one side of the wall, and he came out of a canvas shelter on the other side.
M: yes, bur was he always in full view of the camera, or did they cut to a commercial or something else?
W: Not only was the camera running all the time, but he was hooked 5 up a heart monitor, and you could track his progress as he moved through the wall.
M: It’s difficult to know what to believe. I know it’s not possible for him to do that, but…
W: It sounds to me like it’s a show worth watching.
M: Count me in. Instead of an ice cream cone, I’ll turn my money into a ticket.
