If I give my heart to you I must be sure
From the very start that you would love me more than her.
If I trust in you, oh please, don’t run and hide
If I love you too, oh please, don’t hurt my pride like her.
‘Cos I couldn’t stand the pain and I would be sad, if our new love was in vain.
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
‘Cos I couldn’t stand the pain and I would be sad,
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two,
If I fell in love with you…

Telecommunications
Ex. 4. Read the text and explain the meaning of the marked words.
Making a Telephone-call
When you make a telephone-call you LIFT the receiver. Then you DIAL the number. If you don’t know the NUMBER you can look it up in the TELEPHONE DIRECTORY. If you can’t find it there you can call DIRECTORY INQUIRIES.
Making a call to a place far away is called LONG-DISTANCE call. For most countries in Europe you can phone DIRECT; first dial the INTERNATIONAL CODE-NUMBER.
If you don’t have enough money you can ask for a PERSON –TO – PERSON call and have the CHARGES REVERSED. This means that the receiver of the call has to pay for it.
When there is a difficulty with the CONNECTION the OPERATOR may tell you to hold the line. If the person we want to call is already speaking to someone, the number is ENGAGED.
When you call a friend and somebody else answers the phone, you can leave a MESSAGE, or it may mean that you have dialed a wrong number.
