Audio script
Olivia: Hi, Sarah! How are you?
Sarah: Hmmmm ...
Olivia: What’s up?
Sarah: Well, now it seems I’m going out with the chef in a café!
Olivia: Oh Sarah, come on! This is a nice place. Carlos is just helping out while Tony’s sick.
Sarah: Well, perhaps,... But it’s not exactly a ‘high-powered’ job, is it?
Fadi: Hi there! What’s happening?
Olivia: Sarah’s not happy because her boyfriend is the chef in a café.
Fadi: Oh, come on! He’s just helping out – it shows what a nice guy he is!
Sarah: Well, hmm, maybe. But Carlos has always talked about opening up his own restaurant, a really good, high-class place serving South American food.
Olivia: And I’m sure he’ll do that ... eventually!
Fadi: Yeah, he will. Just let him get a bit more experience here.
Sarah: Well ... OK, then ... We’ll see.
Fadi: Talking of business plans ... I’ve got an idea!
Olivia: Oh no!
Fadi: Such faith! Come on, at least listen to me!
Sarah: Here are a couple of people who’ll listen to you.
Fadi: Hi, Johnny! Hi, Harry!
Johnny/Harry: Hi there!
Olivia: Fadi’s got a business proposition for you guys.
Sarah: Yeah! An offer you can’t refuse.
Johnny: Sounds good – go on!
Harry: I’m all ears.
Fadi: Well, seeing as we’re such a mixed bunch ...
Harry: How do you mean?
Fadi: Well – English, Chinese, Polish, Brazilian, Lebanese ...
Harry: Oh, yeah, I see what you mean.
Fadi: And we all know this city so well.
Johnny: We certainly do.
Fadi: I thought we could form a company offering services to visitors or tourists: “FindLondon”.
Johnny: What kind of services?
Fadi: All sorts of things ... Interpreters, help finding a place to stay, recommendations about places to eat or things to see, guided tours, that sort of thing.
Johnny: Hmmm ...
Harry: Not a bad idea that. Use our own natural resources, like?
Fadi: I’m only looking for a small investment at the moment – we’re having a meeting next week. Are you in?
Johnny: Yeah! I’m in!
Harry: Me too!
Olivia: Well, I’ve got enough problems with my own business as it is – count me out!
Sarah: Yeah ... Good luck, guys, but it’s not for me either.
Fadi: Your loss! We’re going to be millionaires!

Sir,
She always wear pressed uniform.
Here pressed is an adjective?
Can we use also ironed uniform or ironing uniform in place of pressed uniform? Which will be correct ironed or ironing? It will work as an adjective too if we use ironed or ironing
And second, word 'hospitalized' is also an adjective?
It has two meaning-
Rahul is hospitalized by ram(here hospitalized acts as an main verb)
Rahul is hospitalized mean to say rahul is in hospital.( Here hospitalized is an adjective in verb 3rd form)
Thanks for the Episode, it was very helpful.
thank

Hi,,,
I would like know what mean " count me out". If u don't mind, help me please.
thanks!
Hello Nay Thant Aung,
You can find an entry in the Cambridge Dictionary for 'count sb out' ('sb' = 'somebody'). I think the definition and example sentence will make it clear for you.
