Action Movie

Last Sunday we saw a very interesting movie with my wife Carola.We both do like action and happy ending movies.The story was about Jack and Jill,a couple that after having had a cup of coffee on a saturday morning,walked down Parkinson Street on their way home.They stopped at the shop -window of Brando to look at a leather jacket that Jack couldn`t resist to buy.You know,rich people just get into the shops and buy.I have to admit that the jacket was so beautiful that I myself would have bought it had I have the money.I think Jill paid for the jacket sinc it was Jack`s birthday and when they came out of the shop her handbag was open.Then the action starts;a woman in her thirties with long fair hair`wearing long black boots ,walked behind them.The weather was chilly and she walked with both her hands in the pockets of her white rabbit fur jacket.As she caught them up,she grabbed Jill`s purse from her open handbag.A young man that was standing at the supermarket door shouted to the couple telling them that the woman that was walking ahead of them had stolen Jill`s purse.Jack started running behind the woman,then a policeman showed up and the three of them ran behind her,who then realised she was being chased.She started running fast,boy! she was an athlete and as she was reaching the corner, an old little ladycarrying a heavy shopping bag stopped in the young woman`s way and began to give her some karate chops until Jack,Jill and the policeman arrived at the site and the woman was arrested.It turned out that the old little lady was a retired secret agent, but now was very poor so she was pleased to accept a $33 note that Jill gave to her as a reward.

I guess the song is about a temporary splitting up of two musicians.The chap that sings says that it is o.k,but he is going to take a brek of a week or two.He is complaining about the attitude of his fellow musician that being wrong thinks he`s right, and he`s so sarcastic and no very bright.It`s all right, he`s going home and he`s sure he`ll be back soon.



I did the listening of the exercises and I felt quite good.Sometimes I get nervous because people some times speak quite fast and in a very familiar way among them and it is easier to understand a non native speaker of English.I reckon that I have to concentrate and relax.
