PART 1 · LESSON 10 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
New Year on the Pier
The last night of the year on the pier, the family's boats tied up, fireworks over the river from the far bank, Nam's rush over: the last calendar is delivered, I'm free! if you didn't draw, what would you be? I'd probably sleep for a year; if you weren't a builder, you probably wouldn't have come; and if I weren't in Bangkok? you'd probably be in Seattle, without me; then I'd rather be a builder; happy New Year, Jack: the unreal if, with would and probably.
