English, baby!

Devan Hearts Who?

Date: Nov 20 2007

Intro

1. Learn Vocabulary - Learn some new vocabulary before you start the lesson.

2. Read and Prepare - Read the introduction and prepare to hear the audio.

Last week on the Ebaby! soap opera, we learned that Amanda has a crush on Mason but that she doesn’t quite know how to tell him. She hints that she likes him, but he doesn’t get it.

But sometimes even if you don’t give hints that you like someone, other people can tell. Beren has a hunch that Devan has a crush on someone. Listen to them talk about it.

3. Watch - Watch the video without reading the dialog.

Dialog

Beren

Devan

Beren: So, uh, do you happen to have taken an interest in anybody in particular recently? Because I noticed somebody looking at you…

Devan: What have you heard?

Beren: I don’t know…I heard…

Devan: Tell me what you know.

Beren: I don’t know anything. Rumors…Rumors are rumors, I just want to go straight to the source.

Devan: Okay! Okay! I have a crush on Mason. There. It’s out. Everybody knows. I like Mason. There. I said it.

Beren: No, that’s cool. I think you might have a little competition though.

Devan: With who?

Beren: I don’t wanna say, but the initials might also start with an M.

Devan: Do you think Marni likes him?

Beren: I don’t know I…I don’t want to say anything. I don’t want to get in trouble.

Devan: Do you think he likes her?

Beren: It’s hard to tell. Mason has an eye for a lot of different ladies, I’ve noticed. So…I don’t know.

Devan: Why are you telling me these things?

Beren: I’m sorry. I just wanted to be honest and let you know.

Devan: I thought he was a nice guy. I didn’t think he was like that.

Beren: He’s really nice. He’s super nice. He just has a wandering eye so be careful.

Devan: Does he date a lot of women?

Beren: Um, yes…I mean…

Devan: Did you and him have a thing?

Beren: No, no, no never. I saw him taking pictures of girls at the mall once…

Devan: He was taking pictures?

Beren: Yeah I don’t know. It was really weird.

Discussion

Beren says that she’s heard rumors that Devan has a crush on someone. Devan tries not to tell her for a moment and then cracks and admits that (like Amanda), she has a crush on…Mason!

Naturally (since Amanda likes him), Beren starts to tell Devan that she might have some competition for Mason. But she tells Devan that Marni likes Mason. What’s going on here? Why does everyone have a crush on Mason?

Or better yet, why does Mason have a crush on everybody? Beren says he dates a lot of girls and that she even saw him taking pictures of girls in the mall!

What do you think about the idea of Devan and Mason? Would it ever work?

Do you think Marni actually likes Mason? Come back next Tuesday to find out!

Seeing the recent videos of his reactions to Amanda’s pregnancy, I always thought Mason is someone you want to keep an eye on. I mean he is not just eccentric but erratic and potentially harmful. In fact, I have gone so far as to recommend a diverse to Amanda on this forum. And now true to form – Mason took pictures of girls at the mall in the past. Davon, think why you get attracted to a weirdo, and resolve your insecurity. Amanda, wake up to reality and take actions now. Oh, no, I hope the baby is a boy, or it may not make a difference. Run! No more Woody!

Devan realized that she is not the only one who’s in love with Mason. I think her emotional personality will leave her back in this race and Mason will keep going on his way.
