Seo seans duitse a bheith ag caint anois. Lig ort féin gur tusa Bairbre agus go bhfuil tú ag caint le Micheál.
This is your chance to talk now. Pretend you’re Bairbre and that you’re talking to Micheál.
| Mícheál: | Tá tú féin i do chónaí cúpla míle ón mbaile. An maith leat an ceantar ina bhfuil tú? You live a few miles from the town yourself. Do you like the area you’re in? |
|
| Abair: | It’s lovely. I love being right beside the mountains and the woods. I often go on long walks. Tá sé go hálainn. Is breá liom a bheith díreach in aice leis na sléibhte agus na coillte. Téim ar shiúlóidí fada go minic. |
|
| Mícheál: | Ach níl mórán áiseanna sa cheantar, déarfainn. But there aren’t too many facilities in the area, I’d say. |
|
| Abair: | No, but there’s a small supermarket right beside me and there’s a pub with a restaurant five minutes’ walk from me. Níl, ach tá ollmhargadh beag díreach in aice liom agus tá teach tábhairne a bhfuil bialann ann cúig nóiméad siúil uaim. |
|
| Mícheál: | Cé mhéad míle atá tú ón scoil? How many miles are you from the school? |
|
| Abair: | Around six miles. There’s often heavy traffic in the morning but the journey only takes twenty minutes at the most. Timpeall sé mhíle. Bíonn trácht trom ann go minic ar maidin ach ní thógann an turas ach fiche nóiméad ar an méid. |
|
| Mícheál: | Níl sé sin ródhona. Siúlaim féin chuig an obair ar maidin – ní thógann sé ach leathuair an chloig. That’s not too bad. I walk to work myself in the morning - it only takes half an hour. |
|
| Abair: | You look really fit! Tá cuma breá aclaí ort! |
