Listening: What I did when I was spending time there

A. Listen and read along. A man is sharing a story of unexpected things he encountered when he
was going home. Listen and pay attention to the form of sentences he made.

So something really strange happened to me yesterday. I was hhm… walking home and it was
quite late and it’s a bit dark. It was like 8 o’clock. And I was walking through from train station to
my house in this like a… forest, mini forest. I had to walk through, it’s a bit scary. And I was walking
through and suddenly I saw the figure of this woman between the trees. It was woman in a…., she
was wearing like a white cloth and it was strange, I wasn’t expecting to see anyone around that
time. Then she started coming toward me but it wasn’t like, she wasn’t walking it’s like… she was
floating or something. And I got a bit scared and I started running and I was running and then I
fell down and when I looked up she was standing above me and she had a really strange white
face it’s like she was a ghost. And… she said “don’t come in here again” then I just jumped up and
ran home. Nothing like that ever happened before, and I’ve been to that forest again but I’ve
never seen her again.
