Watch the scene using subtitles first, then pay attention to the vocabulary explanation ( the scene is repeated , line by line, explaining different vocabulary and pronunciation aspects). You can stop the video and play the scene as many times as you need.
My advice is that you take notes of the words/expressions in blue on your notebook , so that you find answering the questions easier .
Answer the questions below .Once you finish , watch the end of the video were you'll try to understand the same scene WITHOUT subtitles.
TIME EXPECTED : the video lasts 23 minutes, and the exercise performance probably about 30 minutes. Try to avoid being interrupted while watching the video. I hope you enjoy the activity!

a) Why doesn't Chandler want to shake hands with Will ( Brad Pitt)?

c) Did Ross and Will enjoyed the party they are talking about?
d) What sentence does Ross use to find out what Will has been doing all this time?
