Is fishing a common recreational activity where you live? Why or why not? What special techniques or equipment do you need to catch fish and lots of them?
“fish story” = a big lie
“He didn’t graduate from Harvard University. That’s just a big fish story.”
“fish out of water” = to be out of place in an uncomfortable situation
“My brother doesn’t dance at all, so he felt like a fish out of water at last night’s party.”
A. Listen to the recording and answer the questions.
Man: I mean, I'm not bragging or anything, but I have a real sense for fishing. I mean, I was born to fish, you know, my dad used to say.
Man: Well, Well, I'm not making excuses or anything, but the weather was bad a couple of times, and, and . . . and a fish dragged my pole into the water while I wasn't looking another time [ No way! Serious? ] , and . . . and I wasn't wearing my fishing hat another day.
Man: Well, do you think you can do any better, or are you just going to sit there and continue reading that book?
Woman: What's different about it? We've been here about an hour, and you still haven't caught anything.
Woman: Come on. You gotta help me catch it! Man: That's beginner's luck.
