Tapescript (Track 17)
Mathew : What are you reading?
Ayşe : Sports news. It says Cenk Tosun is moving to the countryside today. I think countryside is better than cities.
Mathew : I totally disagree with you. Who is Cenk Tosun?
Ayşe : Oh, he is a very good football player. In my opinion, he is one of the best players.
Mathew : Oh, really? Is there a photo of him there?
Ayşe : No, not here.
Mathew : What does he look like?
Ayşe : He is young and a very good-looking man with blue eyes.
Mathew : When was he born?
Ayşe : He was born in 1991.
Mathew : How tall is he?
Ayşe : He is 1.83 m.
Mathew : What is he like? Is he cold?
Ayşe : No, I don’t suppose so. He looks modest and kind-hearted. Who is your favourite sportsman?
Mathew : Another Turkish footballer: Nuri Şahin. He has got a natural talent for sports.
Ayşe : I know him. He has got black hair and a beard. He is shorter and thinner than Cenk Tosun, but he is a handsome man. He is also nicely dressed.
Mathew : I agree with you. He is generous. He works for a foundation. He went to Ethiopia to open water wells.
Ayşe : Some football players are really helpful. That famous Argentine football player is visiting charity organizations for the refugees now. I can’t remember his name.
Mathew : Oh, that is Lionel Messi. I think he is more emotional than most sportsmen.
Ayşe : Is he shorter and quicker than Nuri Şahin?
Mathew : Yes, he is. A big man in a small body!
