PART 1 · LESSON 3 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
The First Monday
The yard at seven on Jack's first Monday, an old teak boat up on blocks: you have to be here at seven; yes, seven in the morning; today you have to sand the boat, by hand; do I have to do the whole boat? This side, you don't have to hurry; do I have to buy sandpaper? No need, I have everything; the teak is very old; yes, you have to go slowly: have to and don't have to.
