Listen and practice. (unit 18 d1 )
Life is a question of choice or chance?
Charles: If you could recapture your childhood, Richard, would you change much? Richard: Life is a sort of arch. Arrival to departure. You can't switch direction,
Charles. Each century brings changes but actually, Nature doesn't
change.
Charles: But you can reach different decisions. With television, you can choose which channel to watch, switch to another picture. You could catch a different train. Given the chance, Richard, would you change trains?
Richard: Life is a rich adventure and largely a question of chance. You don't choose your future as you choose a chocolate or a piece of cheese.
Charles: But, Richard, you do choose. You forge your own fortune—a.butcher? a 'cellist? a teacher? a merchant? Each choice suggests a further choice— which tree, which branch, which twig?
Richard: Let's adjourn to the kitchen for chicken and chips. No choice for lunch, you see, Charles!
Charles: But you actually chose chicken and chips! Chops would have been much cheaper!

It's Got to be Somewhere
Where is it? Where is it?
Where is it? Where is it?
I can't find it!
She can't find it!
It's got to be here, it's got to be here!
It has to be here! It must be here!
It's gone! It's gone!
It's gone! It's gone!
Take it easy! Take it easy!
It has to be here.
It must be here.
It can't be lost.
It can't be lost.
It's got to be here.
It's got to be here.
Try to remember.
Try to remember.
I can't remember.
Try to remember.
I can't remember.
Think back!
I can't think.
Think back!
I can't think.
Where did you put it?
Where did you put it?
I can’t remember.
I can't remember.
Oh, here it is, here it is!
Thank heavens!
Thank heavens!
I found it.
She found it!
Here it is! Here it is!
Whew!
