Ana: Hi! I'm Ana. Welcome to What to Say!
Do you know what to say when you want to show interest? Listen out for useful language for showing interest. Then, we'll practise saying the new phrases – after this.
Noelia: Morning, Bob.
Bob: Oh, good morning.
Noelia: It's so rainy today. The weather in this country is horrible!
Bob: Yes … yes … The weather was even worse when I lived in Canada.
Noelia: Oh, I didn't know that you lived in Canada, Bob. How cool!
Bob: One winter it was so cold and windy that I fell on the ice and broke my leg in three places.
Noelia: Oh no! You're joking!
Bob: I wish I was, Noelia, I wish I was. I was never the same after that winter. And my leg is still bad today.
Noelia: Really? I'm sorry to hear that. Poor you.
Bob: But it's not all bad. I met my wife in the hospital. She was the doctor who looked at my leg!
Noelia: No way!
Bob: It was love at first sight!
Noelia: Ah, that's brilliant!
Bob: Yes, and we're still in love 40 years later …
Noelia: So in the end, breaking your leg was the best thing that could have happened.
Bob: Yes, I suppose it was!
Ana: Hello again! Aww, I love a story with a happy ending! So, did you notice the useful phrases used for showing interest? Listen to me and then repeat.

I broke my leg 10 years ago. It was winter and I tried to stay on the slippery road. But alas! 4 month out of work. I can say as Bob: "I was never the same after that winter". But I'm on positive like Bob ))
I have broke my foot before six years age when I was in school and that was terrible I rest in bed for two weeks but the happy things that I got it holiday for two weeks (:
Fortunately, I have never broken my leg.
I never got injured on my body, however around 5 months ago I fell down unexpectedly due to neurological attack.
I never broke my legs or arms but had a little aches in my back last month.Now I feel very good because started do exercise :) I think exercise is magic.
No, nothing like that happened to me in the past, and I pray that we all would be safe from any tragic incidents.
No, I didn't break my legs or hand. In winter nearby my house it always has snow. I'm always taking precautions before going outside.
i have never broken an arm or a leg. so i just think that who experience this maybe feel so bad becaues they are not flexible as they are. and maybe it will be a obstacle in their daily activities.
Oh, I'm lucky i have never broken my leg and arm. I wish it will never happen to anyone. That's very horrible.
I have never broken my arm or my leg, and I wish I will not !
