Listen to the text Playing with God and say why the story is called Playing with God.0:12
Neil was five years old.0:26
He lived with his parents in the north of England, not far from the city of York.0:28
The place where they lived had very attractive scenery with some beautiful hills and valleys, green meadows, and a wonderful river with a lot of small waterfalls.0:34
Neil and his parents loved and admired the place very much.0:47
But there was one little problem.0:53
There were no neighbors near their house, and as Neil had no brothers or sisters, there was nobody for the boy to play with.0:57
Neil's father worked in the University of York, and his good friend, Mr. Fred Brown often visited him and his family.1:07
Mr. Brown was a politician and a member of the government, but as he didn't have his own children, he loved to talk to Neil when he came to visit his parents.1:17
One Sunday, Mr. Brown had lunch with the family, and then Neil's mother went into the kitchen and washed the dishes, and his father went to his study and had a very important telephone talk.1:32
Stay here and talk to Mr. Brown, Neil's father said to him.1:47
And show him your toys, his mother said.1:52
Neil showed Mr. Brown his toys and they talked for half an hour.1:56
Then Neil said to Mr. Brown, I'm going to go out and play with God in the garden now.2:02
Fred Brown was surprised.2:13
How do you play with God, Neil?2:16
Oh, it's very easy, but quite exciting, Neil answered.2:21
I just throw the ball up and then God throws it back down to me.2:27
B Listen to the text again and do task b from exercise 32 in your student's book.2:36
