2. Text B
Read and act out the following dialogue.
The Watch
G. - What time is it by your watch, Tom?
T. - What time? Well, it’s ... it’s 5 minutes past 4.
G. - Five past four?
T. - Yes. What surprises you? And what time do you make it?
G. - Well, by my watch it is 5 to 4. Either your watch is fast or mine is slow.
T. - Yours is slow, of course. Didn’t you hear the tower clock strike four a few
minutes ago?
G. - No.
T. - My watch is right on the dot. I checked the time by radio this morning.
G. - I just wonder what could have happened to my watch. It was such a good
time-keeper.
T. - Perhaps it needs winding up?
G. - Think so? Well, it might be. I can’t quite recollect whether I wound it up
this morning.
T. - Well?
G. - No, it doesn’t seem to be run down. There’s something wrong with it, after
all.
