HERE IS THE NEWS
A: What have you been doing all afternoon? Have you been sleeping?
B: No, I haven’t. I’ve been updating my address book. I haven’t had time to listen to the news yet.
A: Turn on the radio.
“Here is the latest news from the BBC. Our top story is that the Prime Minister has just resigned. We know she has been ill for some time. Neither her deputy nor the opposition leader was available for comment. But one of her closest colleagues, the Home Secretary, has just said: “The PM has been suffering from health problems lately so the government has been expecting this announcement since January. Even so it’s a very sad moment”.
“Now for some other news. A person who bought a lottery ticket last week has won a million pounds but the winner has not got in touch with the organisers yet. A lottery spokesperson said: He or she still hasn’t contacted us.
The stock market has been going down since the beginning of the month. The economy has been slowing for the last two quarters but house prices have not been falling. And now, cricket. England are playing Australia at Lord’s. The Australians have already won three matches and they are still in the lead. So if you have been hoping for a miracle, you’ll be disappointed.
Those are the headlines. Here’s Joe Amiswith the weather.”
“It’s been raining for the past four-days and things seem to be getting worse. The wind has been rising for the past few hours and rough sea is expected tonight in the English Channel.”
A: Let’s turn off and go to bed.

A : Qu’as-tu fait tout l’après-midi ? As-tu dormi ?
B : Non, pas du tout. J’ai mis à jour mon carnet d’adresses. Je n’ai pas encore eu le temps d’écouter les informations.
A : Allume la radio.
« Voici les dernières informations de la BBC. Notre principale information est que le Premier ministre vient de démissionner. On sait qu’elle est malade depuis un certain temps. Ni son adjoint ni le chef de l’opposition n’étaient disponibles pour faire un commentaire. Mais l’un de ses collègues les plus proches, le ministre de l’Intérieur, vient d’annoncer : « Le Premier ministre souffrait de problèmes de santé dernièrement, donc le gouvernement s’attendait à cette annonce depuis janvier. Mais c’est néanmoins un moment très triste ».
Maintenant, d’autres nouvelles. Une personne ayant acheté un billet de loterie la semaine dernière a gagné un million de livres (Sterling), mais le gagnant n’a pas encore contacté les organisateurs. Un porte-parole de la loterie a dit : « Il ou elle ne nous a toujours pas contactés ».
La Bourse baisse continuellement depuis le début du mois. L’économie ralentit depuis deux trimestres, mais le prix de l’immobilier ne baisse pas. Et maintenant le cricket. L’Angleterre joue contre l’Australie au stade de Lord’s. Les Australiens ont déjà gagné trois matchs et ils sont toujours en tête. Donc si vous espériez un miracle, vous serez déçus.
Voilà les titres. Voici Joe Amis avec la météo. »
“Il pleut depuis quatre jours et les choses semblent empirer. Le vent se lève depuis quelques heures et une mer agitée est attendue cette nuit dans la Manche. »
A : Éteignons et allons-nous coucher.
