Let's Learn English - Lesson 21: Can You Come to the Party?:
| Anna | Hi there! Washington, D.C. has some great coffee shops. My favorite is this one -- Busboys & Poets. |
| Anna | Actually it’s more than a coffee shop. It’s also a bookstore, a restaurant and a theater! |
| Anna | Marsha and I love coming here. |
| Marsha | Hey, Anna, my friend is having a party on Saturday. Can you come with me? |
| Anna | Sorry, I can’t come with you. I have to get my driver’s license. |
| Marsha | Will you be busy all day? |
| Anna | I don’t know. First, I have to take a test on the computer. Then I have to take a test in the car. |
| Marsha | But you have to take the test during the day, don't you? |
| Anna | Yes. |
| Marsha | The party is at night. |
| Anna | Oh. Then I can come with you to the party on Saturday night. |
| Marsha | Great! I have to help my friend with the party. Can you help me? |
| Anna | Sure. That sounds like fun. |
| Marsha | Everyone has to bring something or do something. You can bring food, or you can perform. |
| Anna | Really, I can perform? |
| Marsha | You can! Can you? |
| Anna | Yes! I can recite poetry. (Anna is in a club reciting a poem) |
| - A poem - | |
| Light dark | |
| Light dark | |
| Darkness | |
| Dark | |
| Marsha | In this country, nobody recites poetry at parties. Um … can you do anythingelse? |
| Anna | Hmm, yes. I can do a card trick. (Anna is doing a card trick) |
| Your card is the 10 of diamonds! No? | |
| Pick a card. Any card. | |
| Here, just pick this one. | |
| Great! | |
| Marsha | Anna, maybe you can just bring food. |
| Anna | No, I can’t cook. And I really want to perform. You know, there is one thing I can do. (Anna plays a song on the ukulele and sings) |
| Trouble in mind. I’m blue... | |
| But I won't be blue always | |
| The sun's gonna shine in my back door some day.* | |
| Marsha | That’s it! You can sing at the party. Now, I have to go shopping for food. |
| Anna | Can I help? I’m not busy right now. |
| Marsha | Sure, let’s go! |
| Anna | We have to go. I have to help Marsha shop. And I have to practice my song!Trouble in mind. I’m blue... |
| Anna | Until next time! |
| *The song Trouble in Mind was written by jazz pianist Richard M. Jones. |
