Listen to this conversation between Abdul and his teacher Dave and answer the questions below.

Abdul: Hello, Dave. Have you seen Mei-Ling today? I think she is very beautiful. Do you fancy her?
Dave: Not really, Abdul. You see, I’m gay.
Abdul: But you are not wearing a dress. In my country people like you do not exist. Or, if they do, they are stoned to death. I have never talked to a gay man before. Do you like kissing other men?
Dave: Er, yes, I do, Abdul.
Abdul: Really? And do you like sucking their penises?
Dave: Well...
Abdul: I have a big penis. Would you like to see it?
Dave: Erm...
Abdul: There. Do you like it?
Dave: It’s a whopper, Abdul. But if I were you, I would put it away before the other students arrive.
Mei-Ling: Hello, Dave, hello, Abdul. Abdul, what are you doing?

1. Why is Dave not sexually attracted to Mei-Ling?
2. Are there any homosexuals in Abdul’s country?
3. What two things does Dave probably like doing?
4. How large is Abdul’s penis? How do you know?
5. Why is Mei-Ling surprised when she comes in?
