The intro
(Listening Comprehension)
Yo ! What's up ? It's Mr.Wong here. So you want to sound fancy ? You want to sound smart ? You want to amaze or impress your teacher ? Well, you came to the right place my friend because today I'm gonna teach you how to sound like a smart aleck with just one simple word. That word is "inclined". Now you might be thinking,"This dude Wong is crazy ! The hell is he talking
about ?" Shhh ! Silence ! Allow me to finish. Ever heard someone say,"Wow ! You have a talent in music or art or whatever ?" Nah nah nah ! We're not gonna use "talent" ! Remember we're trying to sound smart here, instead of saying you are talented at something we use "inclined". If someone has a talent in music,we could say he is "musically inclined". Your teacher or your test examiners will be like - oh my goodness ! This dude is too smart ... let him pass the test,just let him pass ! And you can thank me later.
