Welcome to the fourth ESLpodTV lesson which today is for higher level students. There is some intensive listening practice brought to you courtesy of the Prelinger Movie Archives as I am using one of their public domain movies as the main part of this lesson. This will be part two in the series. The movie was made in 1952 and is called Young Man’s Dream (Fancy). The story is a comedy set around the adventures of a young woman, Judy, who wants to date her brother’s best friend. In today’s episode you will see Bob (the brother) introduce his friend, Alexander Phipps to his mother and Judy. This results in a big change in Judy’s attitude.
A little of the language used - especially by the teenage Judy - is different to present day English and I have highlighted this with modern day expressions in the video and transcript. Most English used though is the same as today and provides good listening practice. ( せりふの訳はそのページのURLをRikai.comへ)
There are some useful words and expressions to learn. Listed below.

notice - to become aware of

a mess - to be dirty or in bad condition

twin - one of an identical pair

tongue - the organ in your mouth used for tasting

hot biscuits - a kind of cake

angel - in this case it means ‘wonderful’

ladylike - to be feminine or behave like a lady

about time - at last / eventually

a matter of opinion - depends on the way you think

to miss (a chance) -

catch a shower - have a shower

throw on a dress - put on a dress

you’re a doll - you’re great
