0:06 In this lesson, we will see phrases you can use while complaining about things people did to you.
0:17 Hey, Ness. Is what I’ve been hearing true?
0:21 What have you been hearing? Is everything all right?
0:24 Well, I heard you gossiped like a girl behind my back.
0:28 What are you saying? Who told you that?
0:32 Unlike you, I don’t talk about people behind their backs.
0:35 I just want to warn you that if you want this friendship to last, you’d better not repeat the things that you said last night at the party.
0:44 Oh man. I was drunk last night. I didn't know what I was doing.
0:49 Ness, let me tell you something: no matter how drunk I am, I’ll never say anything bad about my friends in front of others.
0:58 You have a problem with me, come to me and sort it out.
1:03 I’m sorry dude. I seriously got carried away. I’m really sorry.
1:14 Linda, did you go to “Rock ‘n’ Roll” last night?
1:17 No, I didn't. Why do you ask?
1:20 I ask because I thought that at least you wouldn’t lie to my face about it.
1:25 I’m not lying!
1:27 Really? I saw your picture in one of our mutual friend’s cellphone. Why did you have to lie to me and ditch me for that stupid party?
1:35 Err... I’m so sorry. I just wanted to have a little fun. You had some other plans, and I didn’t want to hurt your feelings... so I said I was sick.
1:45 Linda. We are really good friends. Don’t you think we can be honest with each other? Why do you feel like you have to lie?
1:51 Gosh. I’m really sorry, Amie. You’re right, of course. I’ll never lie again! I promise.
1:58 I hope you won’t. It’s really sad to see your friend ditching you, and lying about it, because of a stupid party.
2:09 Why do you look so annoyed? What happened?
2:12 I asked you not to tell anyone about the party. Why did you tell all your friends?
2:17 I didn't do anything. I didn’t tell anyone anything.
2:22 Oh, yeah? Everyone in school is talking about Saturday’s party. How did that happen?
2:27 Look, I just talked about it with my best friend. He may have told others.
2:31 Couldn’t you keep such a small thing to yourself? I mean
2:35 I trusted you and shared many party plans with you, and now look, the entire school knows about it.
2:44 I’m sorry. I just got carried away last night on the phone. I didn’t think he’d tell anyone. I’m so sorry for ruining your surprise party, Linda.
2:52 Well, I hope you learn a lesson from this…next time I won’t let you in on my plans. You’ll have to earn my trust back.
3:01 I feel really bad about this. What can I do to make it up to you?
3:04 You’ll have to earn my trust back…
3:11 Is what I’ve been hearing true?
3:18 What have you been hearing? Is everything all right?
3:25 I heard you gossiped like a girl behind my back.
3:35 I don’t talk about people behind their backs.
3:43 I ask because I thought that at least you wouldn’t lie to my face about it.
3:56 Don’t you think we can be honest with each other? Why do you feel like you have to lie?
4:07 I’ll never lie again! I promise.
4:13 I asked you not to tell anyone about the party. Why did you tell all your friends?
4:28 I hope you learn a lesson from this…next time I won’t let you in on my plans. You’ll have to earn my trust back.
