About this lesson

Two strangers stuck in a lift bet on who can guess the other's job. The shy winner turns out to be the repairman they are waiting for.

  2. Then read it with English while the teacher explains it, with one useful point.
  3. Repeat it out loud in the À toi · Your turn pause, then follow the whole conversation at the end.
