BBC初级口语:分手,和好,再分手...

VICKI:So, if someone's stood you up, the next time you see them, you'll probably argue!

MATT:You'll fAll out!

VICKI:That's right you'll argue or quarrel, you'll fall out. And you might even decide to end the relationship.

MATT:You might decide to break up.

VICKI:But sometimes, people break up, and then they make up again!

MATT:Yes, even though they decided to end the relationship, they stop arguing and think they'll give it another try.

VICKI:Yes some couples seem to be breaking up and making up again all the time!

MATT:You fall out; you break up; you make up… And then you fall out again....

(MUSIC)
VICKI:So the relationship's over....

MATT:Yeah. That's it. It's the end. You never want to see them again as long as you live!

VICKI:It's not easy though is it? If someone was really special to you.

MATT:No. You need time to get over them!

VICKI:That's right - you need some time to get used to life without them, to accept the end of the relationship.
