But. in fact, I hadn’t 【1】 the microphones to the recorder in the middle of the room but to another one in the bedroom. My friends saw the recorder before them turned off and paid no more attention to the microphones a few inches from them. And when they were talking freely, the recorder got the most 【2】 piece of talk.

When the recording was over, I 【3】 to my friends for what had happened to them and asked them whether I should destroy the tape. None of them wanted me to as they knew getting excellent materials for my study was not a 【4】 job. But for some years after that, it always seemed that when it came to buying drinks, it was I who paid for them.

My job is to study languages. Here's an interesting story about my 【1】work. One evening. I invited a group of friends to my house, telling them that I was going to record each one’s speech and it would take only a few minutes. They sat down 【2】 nervously when they saw a microphone in front of each chair and a recorder in the middle of the floor. I explained that there was only one small 【3】 for them. That was to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink.

Each of them in turn counted from one to twenty. When it was over. I turned the recorder off and brought round the drinks. Then we started to talk and joke happily. The rest of the evening was spent 【4】 in relaxation.
