Jimmy Brown the Newsboy

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town

You can hear me yelling "Morning Star", as I run along the street

I've got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town

Never mind, Sir, how I look, don't look at me and frown

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

I'm awful cold and hungry, Sir, my clothes are mighty thin

I wander 'bout from place to place, my daily bread to win

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town

My father was a drunkard, Sir, I've heard my mother say

And I am helping my Mother, Sir, as I journey on my way

My mother always tells me, Sir, I've nothing in the world to lose

I'll get a place in Heaven, Sir, selling the "Gospel News"

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town

Unit 12 Lesson 4 Ex. 3a

Carlos: My dear Anita, let’s run away together!

Anita: No, Carlos. I can’t do it.

Carlos: I’ll help you to settle down in Mexico. I’ll take care of you.

Anita: I love another man.

Carlos: Is that Fernando? Don’t believe him. He’s a dangerous man. If you don’t

break up with him, I’ll give your secret away.

Anita: What secret are you talking about?

Carlos: You stole Donna Rosa’s jewellery when you were working in her house.

Anita: What? I didn’t take a thing. You’re a liar!

Carlos: Can I have a look at your finger? Is this Donna Rosa’s diamond ring?

Anita: Yes, it’s her ring, but she gave it to me as a present when I was leaving her.

Carlos: You know what? You shouldn’t show the ring to anyone.

Anita: Why not?

Carlos: Because Donna Rosa’s box with jewellery has disappeared!

Anita: What???

Unit 12 Lesson 5 Ex. 2a

A.

“Hi, Claire – it’s Emma. Have you heard the latest? Joanna and Vicky’s brother started seeing each other!”

“No!!! If Vicky gets wind of this, she’ll go wild with anger, she literally hates Joanna!”

“Tell me about it! They meet in secret. That’s why you can’t breathe a word to anybody about it! I only told you because you’re my best friend and I’m sure it won’t go any further.”

“Of course it won’t, dear, you know you can trust me! I’m the soul of discretion.”

Well, I’m in a hurry now. I’ll call your back later.”

B.

“Hello, Jimmy – it’s Lisa, how are you? Fine, thanks. Guess what? You’re not going to believe it, some say it’s malicious gossip, yet I think it’s the naked truth! Ben’s parents are going to divorce and he’ll move with his father to L.A! When Ben found it out, he cried his eyes out and didn’t go to school for three days. His father had to go to the school to explanation the situation. Rumours are about that his mother is addicted to alcohol and now she’s in hospital. By the way, Ben doesn’t want to leave and he goes to the hospital every day to visit her. I’ll call you back with more fresh news, bye! But don’t breathe a word!!!

C.

“Hi, dear cousin! How are things going in your life?”

“Thank Goodness, I’m fine, Grandpa isn’t. His small restaurant is going bankrupt! But don’t let on to anyone!!! You know how sensitive he is about this!

“It’s a pity! Perhaps he’d better close the restaurant.”

“It’s out of the question. It is a part of him that he can’t give up on so easily.”

“It must be tough for him, and of course I’ll keep it to myself! I’ll pretend everything is just fine, in fact I’ll better pay him a visit to lift his spirit, what do you think?

“That’s a wonderful idea! I know we won’t be able to keep it under wraps forever, but the later people find out, the better!”

“You’re so right, that’s the least we can do for him, OK, Lisa, thanks for calling. Bye for now!

D.

“Hi Tina – it’s Ted. I need to talk to you.”

“Well, what’s the matter?”

“Your brother is in trouble, but it’s not a telephone conversation. I’d prefer to talk to you in person, not by phone.”

“Sure. At Tony’s café in half an hour. OK?”

“Yes, see you.”

…

“So, what about my brother?”

“My friend Jeremy met him by chance the other day. He saw him at the supermarket. He was shoplifting!”

“What? You’re telling a lie!”

“Sorry, but I’m telling the truth. Jeremy saw him put some snack packets in his pockets.”

“It’s a shame! What shall I do? I’m at a loss.”

“I think you should talk to him. You don’t want him to get into trouble, do you?”

“No, I don’t. Thank you, Ted.”
