English Recordings

My name is Andrew and I love music. I play the piano and also the guitar. I've played the piano for five years and the guitar for two years. My favourite instrument is the violin and I would love to play it. I think the violin has a beautiful sound and it can be melancholic or lively. My younger sister Liz, who is sixteen, plays the violin. She started when she was eight. She is very talented.
I love many very different genres and many diffent kinds of music. Usually, it depends on what I'm doing and where I am. For example, I can listen to punk music in the shower, electro music on the bus and live folk music in pubs. Most of the time, I enjoy complex music such as jazz or classical music, however I dislike simple music like pop or dance. I also hate metal and hard rock because I think it is too violent and the lyrics are too dark. But I like funk for its catchy rhythms. Finally, I don't really care about country music, I find it boring and repetitive.

This is a plantation, a large farm that grew cotton.
You can see the planter, the master of the plantation.
He is standing with his wife in the foreground.
Behind him, you can see the cotton field and slaves
who are picking cotton.
The man on his horse in the cotton field is an overseer.
He made certain the slaves worked hard.
The cabins are in the background on the right. Slaves
lived in the cabins.

Jim, you couldn’t have stopped any of this
She should have told me!

I would have been living here if I had won the lottery
But the violin bow in his hand was loose, so he couldn’t have been playing
You should have been taking care of Nick
She wouldn’t have been studying without my help

If he were here he would be cleaning
I could be reading in the garden if it didn’t rain
He wouldn’t be living here without his parents’ help
Shouldn’t we be studying?

Would I have passed the exam if I had studied just one extra night?
It’d have been nice if he had phoned you

It was so difficult to get up last Monday for school. I had been working on my essays the night before and I was very tired
It had been raining and the ground was still wet

Do you think she’ll have seen the doctor by four o’clock?
By the time they come, I will have completed all preparations
We will not have finished cooking by the time the guests arrive

In September, she will have been living in France for a year
We will have been studying English for three years by the end of this course
In 30 minutes I will have been driving for 6 hours

I’ve just been cleaning the car
What have you been buying?
She’s been writing her autobiography since 1999
I have been living in this village since 1989
I haven’t been eating much lunch lately. I’ve been going to the gym at lunchtimes
She’s been playing tennis on and off for three years
How long have you been waiting for me?

I had seen all of Elvis Presley’s movies by the time I was 20!
I’d been to five countries in Europe by 2001
I had planned to go to the beach but look at the rain!
I’m very happy working as an engineer but I had wanted to be an actor when I was younger
My dad was really angry because he heard I hadn’t come home until 3 am
I saw she’d bought the DVD so I asked if I could borrow it
No one told me that the shop had closed
She thought I had made dinner, so she didn’t buy a pizza

My cousin is on this photo. It's a girl. She is small. She has got long black hair and green eyes. She is really nice!
