M: Do you want to go to town with me if it doesn't rain tomorrow?

W: Excuse me, but could you tell me the way to the cinema, please?

M: No, I'm sorry I can't. I'm a stranger in these parts. But why don't you ask that man with a beard? He'll be able to tell you, I'm sure.

W: Which one do you mean?

M: Look, the one over there, by the lamp-post.

M: Not at all.

W: Please go and see…. He's very quiet.

M: All right, I'll go and see…. Mary, he's not in his room.

W: Is he in our room?

M: No, he's not there either.

W: My God! Where's he then?

M: Oh, he's here, in the washroom!

W: In the washroom? What's he doing there?

M: He's cleaning his shoes with your toothbrush!

M: Now, Susan. Can you tell us something about yourself? How old are you and what do you do?

W: I'm twenty-two and I'm a bus conductress.

M: A bus conductress! So you're used to collecting money. Who taught you to cycle?

W: Nobody. I taught myself. I've been cycling since I was five.

M: And who bought that beautiful racing cycle for you?

W: I bought it myself. I worked overtime.

M: Good for you! And what are you going to go now?

W: Now? If you mean this minute, I'm going to have a long hot bath.

M: You must need to relax. Again, congratulations. That was Susan James, winner of this year's cycle race.

Text 9

W: Hello, George! I wanted to speak to you yesterday, but you weren't at your usual place for lunch.

M: No, I had a free day from the newspaper office because I worked so much overtime last week.

W: Oh, I see. You had a holiday.

M: Well! I stayed at home and looked after the baby.

W : What You took care of the baby? Whose baby?

M: Oh, it was my sister's baby. She wanted to go shopping in the morning. So I stayed at home and did a lot of useful things.

W: Oh?

M: Yes. I mended my radio, washed a shirt and some socks, and cleaned out the drawers of my desk.

W: I don't call that a holiday. I wanted to ask you to a concert last night. The one at the Town Hall near where we lived.

M: That's funny! My office called me in the afternoon and asked me to go and write an article about the concert. I noticed that you weren't there; but your friend, Mary, was.

W: Was she indeed? That's very strange.

Before we get into Hemingway, I want to say a few words about him. In many ways his life is as interesting as his works. And, of course, many of his books and stories were based on his personal experience.

Hemingway was the son of a doctor. And it was his father who first introduced him to the outdoor lifehunting, fishing, sports. All those things that he loved so much. After he graduated from high school, he left home and went to Kansas City. He didn't go to college, but instead, got a job as reporter on the Kansas City Star.

When the war broke out in 1914, Hemingway wanted to be a soldier, but he was rejected because of an old eye problem. Not wanting to miss the action, he went to Europe anyway and served as a driver for the Red Cross. In 1918, shortly before the end of the war, he was wounded and had to return to the States.

When the Second World War began, he again returned to Europe as a reporter. He was present at most of the important battles of the war and his experiences became the basis of his books. In 1952, he wrote a short novel which is one of his best. For this book, he won the Pulitzer Prize. And two years later, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
