Unit 1 Access to successListening to the worldSharingScriptsPart 1V: Hi. There are a lot of things that I’d like to do but I’ve never done before. I’m not really a daredevil, so things like bungee jumping are not really my cup of tea, but I do know that trying new things makes you feel good. Today, I’m going to talk to people about trying new things and achievement. How do you feel about trying new things?Part 2Ml: I’m up for trying new things. Depends what they are, obviously, um, some things I wouldn’t try, but I’d give most things a go.M2: I always enjoy trying new things. I like to meet new people and, try new food, see new places, see different things. It’s always nice to see that.Wl: I love to try new things. I love to travel.W2: If you try new things, you get more out of life, I think.M3: I’m always up for new things. I love traveling; I love trying exotic new foods, all that sort of stuff;seeing new cultures.Part 3V: What stops you from trying new things?W2: Fear, probably.M2: Time and money complicates trying new things. It’s hard to find time to travel and it’s hard to afford enough money to travel as well.Ml: Er, I suppose, if it was dangerous and I could get injured.M3: Probably, at the moment, school - I don’t have a lot of time;I’ve got a lot of work. Money, as well.Wl: If it’s very dangerous; or …if my stomach just can’t handle it; or if I don’t have money.Part 4V: What have you achieved in your life that makes you feel proud?M2: I’m very proud that I was able to go to Ethi opia and build houses for people who needed it. And, being a part of that team was really special to me.Ml: I’ve written plays and people come to see the plays and enjoyed them. And um, I’ve gone out and performed in front of, er, I suppose, thousands of people now and they’ve laughed.Wl: I guess um, finishing school, um, with a high level and - so far not a lot - but I’ve learnt French better than I thought I would, so, I’m proud of that, I guess. I’m still learning.M3: Probably proudest achievement is getting A grades in my end-of-year exams - helping me to geta place in university.W2: Well, I feel that I’ve become er, quite a good person and I guess I’m proud of that.Part 5V: Who do you admire for their achievements and why?M3: Probably business leaders such as Richard Branson um, as he started off, you know as, as hardlyanything and then he built a huge business empire and he’s a multimillionaire.W1: I admire my grandmother, actually. She’s not around anymore, but she was a teacher like I want to be and she taught me so much about life.M1: Nelson Mandela, I admire him a lot because er, not only because he was imprisoned, which er, and he survived that for many years and wasn’t bitter. When he came out of prison, I was more impressed with him becoming Prime ... you know, leading South Africa …and holding the country together and changing a country. Not many people er, have the ability or the skills to do that.ListeningScriptsT = Tim; J = John; P = PeggyT: So what about your memory, Peggy? How good is it?P: It’s OK, which is lucky ‘cause I need to remember lots of things.J: Like what?P: Well, I’m a sales rep for a publishing company so I’m usually out visiting schools, trying to sell books.J: So you need to remember ... what exactly?P: Oh, lots of things. The worst thing when I started was just trying to remember how to get to these schools in my car. I used to get lost all the time. I’m not very good at directions. Then once you’re there you have to remember the names and faces of the peopl e you’re talking to. I once spent a whole hour calling this woman Sally when her name was Samantha.T: And she didn’t tell you?P: For some reason she didn’t tell me. And then there’s all the product information.J: Product information? What, the books?P: Yes. We sell about 500 different books and I have to know the difference between all of them. I mean, it gets easier, thank goodness, but I still make mistakes occasionally. What about you, John?You’re an actor, right?J: Yeah. The main thing I have to r emember is my lines. Fortunately, I’ve got a good memory for words, and I don’t find it that hard to memorize them. So, I mean, yeah. And the other thing you have to remember when you’re in the theater is the er, blocking.T: What’s that?J: Blocking? It’s er, it’s where you stand or, or move to, you know? Er, like, when you say your words you might have to walk quickly across the stage or move in front of someone. It’s all planned and er, you have to remember it.T: Oh, I see.J: But it’s funny: For, for other things I have a terrible memory. I’m totally useless. I always forget birthdays and dates. I’m always late for things. It’s just ... yeah ... luckily, I’m OK with my lines. P: What about you, Tim?T: I5m probably the same as all other students. At least all other history students. I have to memorize dates and also names. But it5s not that difficult because you read about them so much you can’t really forget them. But for other things I have a really bad memory. I can never remember jokes or films. Some times I’m watching a film and after an hour I realize I’ve seen it already. I’mcompletely hopeless like that.J: Oh, oh, me too. Tell me...ViewingScriptsCB = Christine Bleakley; S = Supervisor; AC = Adrian ChilesCB: Oh ... I’m doing it for real today.S: This challenge is incredibly tough. She is gonna be operating in sub-zero temperatures for over 90 minutes. If she falls in the water too often ... the challenge is over. If she makes this, it will be a true achievement and a true landmark for Sport Relief.S: How are you feel (feeling)?CB: I feel like I am in some sort of a ... odd dream. I really do.AC: All those nerves, all that adrenalin, it’s all gonna come flowing out as soon as we get on the water.S: Yeah, yeah. So ... remove the fear and just keep focused on what you’ve gotta do and that is, land on that beach in Calais.CB: Now it’s just me against the Channel.S: Go!CB: I’m determined not to fall in but I soon realize determination might not be enough. After several falls into the freezing water I already feel like I can’t take much more.S: We’re just about a quarter of the way in and she’s already fallen five times - now that ... that is gonna take its toll without any shadow of a doubt in the later stages. Every time she goes in, I get a bit more worried. The weather’s not looking good. There’s white tops on the waves. CB: But despite my best efforts, the wind and waves mean I can’t stop myself falling.S: She’s fallen in 10 times in just 10 miles. That simply isn’t good enough for this ch allenge.She has got to dig in now and start to focus.CB: This could be an impossible challenge.S: She is focused. She is in the zone. She’s starting to fly now. Now we start to believe that she could truly make this challenge.CB: My arms and body hurt so much but I just don’t want to give up.S: The hands have gone, the back’s going, the legs are tired, but we’ve still got seven miles to go.AC: She’s turned it around here. The first half didn’t go well. She’s pulled it out of the bag.CB: I can see France. And nothing is going to stop me.AC: Five more minutes and you’re there. Just enjoy this. Keep smiling. Come on! We’re there! CB: I did it! I did it! I could see this from out there. I thought wow, that looks fabulous.S: Everybody around was worried whether she could make this or not. It is an incredibly tough challenge.CB: Oh, that is a very welcome sight.S: The first woman to water ski across the Channel in the winter, having only got on water skis four months ago. She is remarkable. It5s a truly outstanding achievement.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsM = Man; W = WomanM: It5s interesting: One of the most intelligent people I know is a 10-year-old boy from Egypt. He, he doesn’t go to school and he works on a street in Cairo, in one o f the touristy areas. And he sells things like small statues of the pyramids, things like that, to tourists. Now, the reason I say he’s intelligent is that he can sell you something in about 15 languages. I once spent an afternoon watching him, and it was incredible. Most of the time he uses English, but he guesses where you’re from by looking at you, and then he starts speaking. He can speak just a little bit of French, Spanish …Japanese, Italian, German, etc. It’s amazing. He knows just enough in all thes e languages to say hello and sell you something.W: How did he learn the languages?M: I asked him that and he said he learned them by talking to tourists.W: Ah, that is quite amazing.M: So anyway, that’s my example. Like I said, he doesn’t go to school.But for me, he’s super-intelligent. What about you?W: I can think of loads of people who don’t have any qualifications but are able to do really difficult things. I’ve got a friend, for example, who built his own house. He just taught himself how to do it, bought a piece of land, bought the materials and the equipment and just did it. No qualifications, no certificates, no university degree. In my view, that’s a real practical kind of intelligence.M: Yeah, I couldn’t do that.W: Let me give you another e xample. I’ve got another friend who takes parts of old cars and makes new cars from them. He does it at the weekend as a way to relax. And the new car actually works! M: I couldn’t do that either.W: I wouldn’t know where to start. And this is someone who left school at 15 to do an apprenticeship.But you know, having said that, I do think qualifications are useful in some ways. I mean, for one thing, they show that you are able to complete a course, that you’re motivated and committed enough.M: Yeah, I th ink that’s true.W: But I must say real-life experience, traveling, going out and meeting people, talking …I think these give you an amazing education, too.M: Exactly. That’s what I was saying. Just like the boy from Egypt.Group discussionScriptsT = Tracy HackstonT: A couple of years ago, er, I learned how to scuba dive which was um, really exciting, really good experience and when you5re learning, half of the, the, the training is in the classroom and half is practical in a swimming pool. So the classroom stuff was fine. Um, I found it really quite easy. I was learning with my mum and she was really worried about doing the kind of more academic stuff and passing the exam but I found that part OK. It was the practical stuff that I had troublewith and she was really lucky. She was um, really good. But you go and you learn all the, the technical stuff, you know, how to go under the water, how to clear your mask if you get water in it, that kind of thing. And then you have to do two dives outside in a, in a kind of reservoir or a quarry or, you know, something like that. But obviously because I’m in the UK, it was really, really cold and we woke up on the morning of our dive and there was ice on the water, so when we got there we were very nervous and didn’t want to get into the water. But once I was in, it was so freezing that I tried to go under the water, but the more I tried the harder it got and then I got very frustrated and started to cry, and then all my ears got blocked up and I couldn’t get under.But eventually I managed it and um, went down, passed my test, did all of the skills that you need to do. Despite the fact that I was so terrible at it I managed to pass and um, now I’m passed, I can go anywhere I want, so I’ll make sure it will be somewhe re very hot. So, um, to sum up, although it was a really difficult, really difficult challenge, I’m so glad I managed it. Um …For me, it was quite an achievement and, and I’m proud of myself for having done it.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: Hello, Mr. Williams. This is John Barrett’s secretary. I’m calling to cancel his appointment with you at 10 today as he is not feeling well.M: Thanks for calling. It’s quite all right. We’ll arrange some other time to meet.Q: What is the man going to do?Conversation 2M: I need to use more than just my math skills for these questions but I don’t have a calculator. ShallI go and buy one?W: Actually, I’ve got two. And I’ll let you have one for the price of a coffee.Q: What do we learn about the woman from this conversation?Conversation 3M: Professor Smith, I’d like to have your advice as to my career development in the future.W: It’s my pleasure. I think you are good at abstract thinking. I am sure you’ll make it if you pursue your graduate work in theoretical physics.Q: What does the woman advice the man to do?Conversation 4W: I can’t believe Ken missed such an important lecture even though I reminded him the day before yesterday.M: You should know him better by now. He5s known for taking everything in one ear and straight out the other.Q: What does the man imply?Conversation 5W: I hear you’re working as a market surveyor this summer. It’s got to be awfully difficult going to somany places in such hot summer days.M: Well, it is challenging, but I get to meet lots of new people and the pay is decent enough.Q: What does the man think of his job?Long conversationScriptsW: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I need permission to drop your class, Literature and Writing. M: It’s only the second week of class, Stacey. Why are you giving up so quickly? We’ve only written one essay so far, and you won’t get your grade back until next Wednesday!W: I know, sir. But as a third-year engineering student, I don’t want to risk lowering my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing class!M: OK …What’s worrying you?W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to write the three-page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but impor tant, as we know. But a writing course ... I don’t know. I’ll just take a film class next semester, not hard at all - a two-paragraph review for each film.That will cover my humanities requirements.M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I was the opposite. Math was hard; literature was easy. But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the 15th street, math helped me!W: Wait! You own The Found Librarian? That’s our favorite coffee place. We get coffee and screenplay at more than 30 different production dessert there every week - and work on math homework.M: Yeah, that’s my shop. Stacey, let’s reconsider. Success in life needs a variety of skills. Humanities majors need math. Engineering majors need writing skills. This writing class will serve you well. Go to the University Writing Center and sign up for free tutoring. Then stop by my office each Friday at11 a.m. and I’ll work with you. Together you can succeed in becoming a strong writer. A good deal? W: Yes! Thank you, Dr. Pearl!Passage 1ScriptsIn 1978, as I applied to study film at the University of Illinois, my father objected and quoted me a statistic, “Every year, 50,000 performers compete for 200 available roles on Broadway.” Against his advice, I boarded a flight to the US.Some years later, when I graduated from the film school, I came to understand my father5s concern. It was nearly unheard of for a Chinese newcomer to make it in the American film industry. Beginning in 1983, I struggled through six years of annoying, hopeless uncertainty. Much of the time, I was helping film crews with their equipment or working as editor’s assistant. My most painful experience involved shopping a screenplay at more than 30 different production companies, and being met with harsh rejection each time.That year, I turned 30. Yet, I couldn’t even support myself. What could I do? Keep waiting, or give up my moviemaking dream? My wife gave me strong support. Her income was terribly modest. To relieve me from feeling guilty, I took on all housework - cooking, cleaning, taking care of our son - in addition to reading, reviewing films and writing scripts.It was rather shameful for a man to live this kind of life. Afterward, I enrolled in a computer course at a community college. At that time, it seemed that only the knowledge of computer couldquickly make me employable. One morning, right before she got in her car to head off to work, my wife turned back and - standing there on our front steps - said, “Ang Lee, don’t forget your dream.”Sometime after, I obtained funding for my screenplay, and began to shoot my own films. After that, a few of my films started to win international awards. Recalling earlier times, my wife confessed, “I’ve always believed that you only need one gift. Your gift is making films.” And today, I’ve finally won that golden statue. I think my own perseverance and my wife’s immeasurable sacrifice have finally met their reward.Q1: When did Ang Lee come to understand his father’s concern about studying film?Q2: What was Ang Lee’s most painful experience according to the passage?Q3: Why did Ang Lee enroll in a computer course at a community college?Q4: What did Ang Lee’s wife think of him according to the passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersNothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It’s so important to 1) believe in yourself. Believe that you can do anything under any 2) circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief just keeps you 3) searching for success, and then pretty soon you can get it. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going, and how you are going to get there. It comes from 4) a strong sense of purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take 5) responsibility, rather than just let life happen.One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence does not equal self-importance. Self-importance is born out of fear and 6) insecurity, while confidence comes from strength and 7) integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it, and knowing that you are capable of 8) accomplishing anything you want.Anything can be achieved through focused, determined effort, commitment and selfconfidence. If your life is not what you 9) are longing for, you have the power to change it, and you must make such changes on a moment by moment basis. Live with your goals and your plan of action, and live each moment with your 10) priorities in mind, then you will have the life you want.Unit 2 Emotions speak louder than wordsListening to the worldSharingScriptsP = Pasha; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; Ml = Man 1, etc.Part 1P: Hello. I5m in a really good mood today. The sun is out and that always brings a smile to my face.How are you feeling today?Part 2W1: I’m feeling ... stressed due to a lot of work.M1: I’m feeling quite happy and confident. The weather certainly helps: It’s a bright, sunny day, so I’m feeling quite optimistic.W2: I’m excited about my project for school. We’re doing a documentary on film.W3: I’m feeling pretty good. I’m feeling good ‘cause um, I’m on a day out with my friend; we’re having a fun time.M2: Very happy, very relaxed. Er, we have a day off, my wife and I.M3: I’ve er, had a good start to my day. I woke up early and I had a good breakfast, so I suppose I’m feeling well-balanced and optimistic about my afternoon.W4: Really good. It’s a beautiful day, the sun’s shining and er, I’m just wandering about London. It’s nice.Part 3P: Would you describe yourself as an optimist or a pessimist?W1: One hundred percent optimist. I think that you always have to look on the bright side. And I know it’s cheesy, but it’s best to think what you can do, not what you could have done.M1: I think I am an optimist. I …I think generally I look on the bright side. I hope I see the best in people. I don’t expect bad, you know, disasters or, or …to be let down in things.M3: I’d say I swing between the two. I mean, I, I’m pretty optimistic about my, myself.W3: I’m very optimistic. Um, whenever I get um, in a tricky situation I might get a bit frustrated at first, but I always manage to pull myself through and think of the positives.M2: I consider myself to be more of a “functional pessimist”. Um, I do tend to plan and cater for the worst case, but more often than not I’m happily surprised when things go well.W4: Probably an optimist, but I like to be realistic about things and then I’m not disappointed.Part 4P: What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this year?M2: The best thing that has happened to me in the last 12 months is the success of the business that my wife and I opened in Oxford last June.M1: The best thing that’s happened to me this year is the success I’ve had in the garden, growing vegetables and flowers.W1: I got all distinctions, all distinction stars and A stars in my er, last projects in Art.W2: I went to Canada to visit my father with my boyfriend, um, a couple of weeks ago and that was reallynice: We got to see lots of amazing sights.W3: Um, getting into university. It was really er, difficult ‘cause there was a, there’s (there were) a lot of applicants, um, at very high standard and I managed to er, get a spot.W4: The best thing that happened to me this year was getting a job um, as a trainee solicitor at a firm in London. I’m really excited about it: It’s very difficult to get into and it’s um, like, the culmination ofa lot of hard work over a long time. So, I’m really happy about it.ListeningScriptsR = Radio presenter; C = Clip; P = Professor; M = ManR: Welcome to Start the Day!C: Hello. Can I help you? Your call is important to us. Hello. Can I help you? Sorry, all our operators are busy at the moment. Please hold.M: They put you in a queue for ages, listening to this terrible music. When you finally speak to someone, you’re so angry, you just want to shout...R: Anger. We all know the feeling. A report out last year shows that people are getting angrier. One in 10 people say that they’ve trouble controlling their temper. Traffic jams, airports, call centers, computer crashes - they can all leave us feeling angry, and anger is difficult to control. Or is it? Professor Miller from the Metropolitan University is here to tell us about two very different therapies to help deal with stress. First of all, destruction therapy. What’s that about?P: Well, basically, the idea is that a lot of p eople, when they get angry, they don’t know what to do with their anger - they don’t deal with it very well. They just keep it inside. But, if you don’t deal with your anger, sooner or later it will explode. So, with destruction therapy, you use your anger to destroy something, but in a controlled way, and the idea is that if you do that, it helps you to feel better.R: OK, I get angry a lot. Can destruction therapy help me?P: Perhaps. We can try it. What we do is we take you to a place full of old cars. W hen we get there, I’ll give you a hammer, and you can use it to smash a car to pieces.R: Really? Is it that simple? If I smash the car to pieces, will I feel better?P: Yes, a little. But that’s only the beginning. Then, I’ll ask you to think about a situ ation in the past when you felt really angry. And when you think about that anger situation, you’ll hit the car much harder.And the therapy will be much more satisfying. When we finish the session, you’ll feel much better. R: That’s amazing, and businesse s are using this kind of therapy in Spain, is that right?P: Yes, there are some old hotels in Spain. You can pay to go and destroy the hotel. So, some companies who feel that their workers are stressed, or they need to build a team, send their workers to destroy the hotel. And it’s a good way for them to get rid of that stress. It works.R: That’s incredible. But there’s another idea I want to ask you about. People say that laughter is the best medicine. And nowadays, laughter therapy is used in hospitals to help people with pain.P: That’s right.R: So, how does that work?P: Well, if people laugh about something, they feel better. On average, children laugh up to 400 timesa day, but when we grow up, we only laugh about 17 times a day. And it5s not enough, becausewhen you laugh, your body produces chemicals - and these chemicals make you feel happier. And they also make you feel less pain. So, in Mexico, for example, they use laughter therapy inhospitals. A group of people go around the hospital, visiting the patients, and, basically, they make them laugh, by telling them jokes, or doing something funny.R: And does it really work? Do people feel better afterwards?P: Absolutely! They feel better, and they don’t need medicine.R: That’s brilliant. So, in Mexico, laughter really is the best medicine?P: Yes, it looks like it. That’s right …ViewingScriptsI = Izzy; M = Marion; AC = Angel Clare; R = Retty; T = TessI: We can’t get there without walking through it.M: That’s that then.

Unit 2 Journey into the unknownListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.Part 1F: I've spent a lot of time living in different countries so there isn't one place I think of as home. I've lived in Scotland and Poland and China. I love going to new places and learning aboutnew cultures. Today, I'm asking people about travel.Part 2W1: I love travel. It's one of my passions.M1: Well, I enjoy it a lot. I have traveled to India several times. I lived there, and I've lived here, and I've been to Istanbul once and I enjoyed that very much.W2: I've done quite a bit of traveling on holidays and stuff. I think it's good, good experience.W3: You get to meet different people coming from different backgrounds, and that's really important to get an understanding.M2: It's always just nice to get out and experience a different culture and different lifestyle.W4: I get very excited about the thought of going to most countries, any country.W5: I love to travel to different countries.M3: Absolutely love traveling. I've been traveling for about two and a half years solid now.W6: I've been to Turkey. I've been to Egypt. I've been to Malta.M4: I work as an expedition leader and so I actually operate in different countries around the world, many places outside the United Kingdom.Part 3F: What do you like about traveling?M3: I think you mature a lot when you travel. You, er, you learn …oh, just completely different experiences to what you're used to at home.W6: I like the airport experience. I love that.M5: I like the arrival more than the traveling.W5: To see art especially. We love to see theater in other countries.M4: You see some, some of the most beautiful scenery around the world which you wouldn't experience in other countries.M2: I just really like getting out there and experiencing a different culture, getting far away from, you know, what we're used to in Australia, and meeting new people.W4: The anticipation of being in a new place, of seeing very different things, er, of hearing a different language, (and) of eating different food. Everything that travel has to offer.Part 4F: What don't you like?W6: I don't like long flights.W3: I suppose plane journeys aren't always the most exciting of things.W1: Flying.

So, er, when, when I was backpacking, and we all …we ran out of money, or we were in dangerous situations, I actually quite enjoyed that.M4: You spend a lot of time outside the United Kingdom, and the disadvantage of that is, that you,you tend to miss families and friends. I miss out on normal things in life, so …I've been outside the United Kingdom for two thirds of the year. I'd say that's the main disadvantage.W5: The hardest thing for me is that I am handicapped.

It wasn't until I, I got married I actually started missing flights.ListeningScriptsOne place that I think everyone should have the chance to see is Venice. But the problem isthat this beautiful and charming city is slowly sinking. Ever since the 14th century engineers have tried to work out a way to stop the floods in Venice, but so far nobody has managed. Sometimes there are as many as 40 floods per year between March and September, and Venice is actually sinking at a rate of two and a half inches every decade. It's very possible that your grandchildren, and their grandchildren will never have the chance to see this fragile city. Everyone should have the chance to enjoy the city, to walk across its famous bridges, through its ancient squares. There are no cars in Venice, and many people think it helps this to be one of the most romantic cities in the world. So, can it be saved?Well, they are trying. Barriers are being put in to try and stop the water getting too high. Thisis viewed as a temporary measure, although they should last 100 years, so the problem is finding a permanent solution. If you want my advice, go there while you still can, and then together we can put pressure on the government to spend the money it needs to find a permanent way to keep this beautiful and historic city for future generations. We have an opportunity now to save this city, and we must, before it's too late.ViewingScriptsV = V oice-over; M1 = Man 1, etc.; JL = Joanna Lumley; W1 = Woman 1, etc.;EH = Eamonn Holmes; JJE = Jocelyn Jee Esien; AF = Alex Fraser;JP = John Palmer; MJ = Melanie Jones; LS = Lucy Sassoon; Vs = V oicesV: There are so many amazing places to see around the world.

It is very isolated, very far from other places. Er, we are going to travel there by plane and stay with different families and the trip is going to take three months. We want to experience the local culture, their music, food, and way of life. So our plan is to speak to the local people about these things and to film them. We hope to find out about their traditions and to see what they think of their history. Well, um, finally, my husband and I always wanted to go to Easter Island. I read about it when I was a child and I saw pictures of these amazing stone heads on the island. So for us this is the journey of our dreams.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: I still can't decide whether we should have a whole package tour or a self-drive tour.W: A whole package tour means having to spend time in the confined quarters of a coach, bus or train with people you are not familiar with, but considering our budget, perhaps we have to sacrifice comfort and privacy.Q: What does the woman say about a whole package tour?Conversation 2W: I was so shocked when I saw the tiny, dirty houses where the children grew up.M: So was I. I'm afraid that they don't have enough food, let alone go to school. Next time we should have our daughter come with us. She always takes things for granted.Q: What are the two speakers planning to do?Conversation 3M: I will say it again: India is not a safe place for a woman to travel alone.W: But if I wear the proper clothes, and learn the cultural dos and don'ts, it should be fine.

How was your trip to the Amazon rainforest?W: It was like a spectacular dream; I saw so many more things than I ever could have imagined.The plants are so thick that you couldn't even see the sun or the sky above, and there are more shades of green than I've seen before in my life!M: Wow, with so many plants, how did you get around?W: We rode a tour boat down the Amazon River –it connects the whole jungle, and the local people use it to travel, too. It's amazing being somewhere so far away from technology,without any electricity for miles and miles. The local people don't even see the world outsideof the jungle, never traveling more than 15 minutes up or down the river their whole lives!M: What an entirely different lifestyle! It must be completely different there. Did you get to meetany of the villagers?W: Oh yes! Here's the story: I finished a small blue bottle of wine and was about to throw it away.The tour guide told me to save it. Later, when we arrived at one of the villages, he introducedme to an old woman there who greeted our boat. I gave her the wine bottle as a gift. Shelooked at it like a great treasure, and she said that it would be an honored prize for her hut.

On the contrary, they may distance us from nature –actual nature –even further.Because real nature experiences mean contact with nature. It means being with and withinnature, to experience it with all five senses.True, TV programs give us joy but they will never be able to help us form a relationship with nature. We watch our small screens come alive with the vivid colors and we all let out“aahhhh …”and “wooooow”. But, never once will we feel the pleasure of being close to nature.Worse still –the programs such as those on the Discovery Channel make nature seem so strange, and so far away, in the forests of the Amazon or in the wilds of Africa. Children maygrow up without even realizing that the flowers, plants or a couple of trees in their backyard are nature and they are equally precious. The truth is –nature is so close to us. We don't need to goanywhere far to enjoy such experiences. It is right there in our backyards. Or, in parks, gardens, forests, or national parks.know it, appreciate it, and–All we need to do is make an effort to get closer to natureexplore it. Feeling the soil under our feet and the wind in our hair; listening to the sound of the fallen leaves and taking in the smell of the wet soil –all these are pure joy to the senses that we must experience.Q1: What may happen to children after watching nature programs on TV?Q2: How should children get close to nature according to the speaker?Q3: What impression might the Discovery Channel leave on children?Q4: What is the main idea of this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersI have never been able to understand people who don't see the point in traveling. Thecommon reason is that traveling is a waste of time and money. I've heard some are 1) scared to travel too far away.

The things traveling can teach you are beautiful because you learn to trust in what you see rather than what you are told.It was Mark Twain who said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness,”which in my mind 6) goes down as the closest to the truth about traveling. Too bad there aren't enough people with the means to travel actually doing it. If you have the means to go abroad, you should do it despite going out of your comfort zone. You might realize why you loved it onceyou're back home.I think traveling is also the best thing you could do if you feel 7) depressed at home, don'tknow what to do with your future, your life, your partner –anything.

He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isn’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and because that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, y ou know, and this is the only place I’mnever going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know –but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carlos wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to b e a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europe for the first time. That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek.

Unit 1 Access to successListening to the worldSharingScriptsPart 1V: Hi. There are a lot of things that I’d like to do but I’ve never done before. I’m not really adaredevil, so things like bungee jumping are not really my cup of tea, but I do know that trying new things makes you feel good. Today, I’m going to talk to people about trying new things and achievement. How do you feel about trying new things?Part 2Ml: I’m up for trying new things. Depends what they are, obviously, um, some things I wouldn’t try, but I’d give most things a go.M2: I always enjoy trying new things. I like to meet new people and, try new food, see new places, see different things. It’s always nice to see that.Wl: I love to try new things. I love to travel.W2: If you try new things, you get more out of life, I think.M3: I’m always up for new things. I love traveling; I love trying exotic new foods, all that sort of stuff; seeing new cultures.Part 3V: What stops you from trying new things?W2: Fear, probably.M2: Time and money complicates trying new things. It’s hard to find time to travel and it’s hard to afford enough money to travel as well.Ml: Er, I suppose, if it was dangerous and I could get injured.M3: Probably, at the moment, school - I don’t have a lot of time; I’ve got a lot of work. Money, as well.Wl: If it’s very dangerous; or …if my stomach just can’t handle it; or if I don’t have money.Part 4V: What have you achieved in your life that makes you feel proud?M2: I’m very proud that I was able to go to Ethiopia and build houses for people who needed it. And, being a part of that team was really special to me.Ml: I’ve written plays and people come to see the plays and enjoyed them. And um, I’ve gone out and performed in front of, er, I suppose, thousands of people now and they’ve laughed.Wl: I guess um, finishing school, um, with a high level and - so far not a lot - but I’ve learnt French better than I thought I would, so, I’m proud of that, I guess.I’m still learning.M3: Probably proudest achievement is getting A grades in my end-of-year exams -helping me to get a place in university.W2: Well, I feel that I’ve become er, quite a good person and I guess I’m proud of that.Part 5V: Who do you admire for their achievements and why?M3: Probably business leaders such as Richard Branson um, as he started off, you know as, as hardly anything and then he built a huge business empire and he’s a multimillionaire.W1: I admire my grandmother, actually. She’s not around anymore, but she was a teacher like I want to be and she taught me so much about life.M1: Nelson Mandela, I admire him a lot because er, not only because he was imprisoned, which er, and he survived that for many years and wasn’t bitter.When he came out of prison, I was more impressed with him becoming Prime ...you know, leading South Africa …and holding the country together and changing a country. Not many people er, have the ability or the skills to do that. ListeningScriptsT = Tim; J = John; P = PeggyT: So what about your memory, Peggy? How good is it?P: It’s OK, which is lucky ‘cause I need to remember lots of things.J: Like what?P: Well, I’m a sales rep for a publishing company so I’m usually out visiting schools, trying to sell books.J: So you need to remember ... what exactly?P: Oh, lots of things. The worst thing when I started was just trying to remember how to get to these schools in my car. I used to get lost all the time. I’m not very good at directions. Then once you’re there you have to remember the names and faces of the people you’re talking to. I once spent a whole hour calling this woman Sally when her name was Samantha.T: And she didn’t tell you?P: For some reason she didn’t tell me. And then there’s all the product information.J: Product information? What, the books?P: Yes. We sell about 500 different books and I have to know the difference between all of them. I mean, it gets easier, thank goodness, but I still make mistakes occasionally. What about you, John? You’re an actor, right?J: Yeah. The main thing I have to remember is my lines. Fortunately, I’ve got a good memory for words, and I don’t find it that hard to memorize them. So, I mean, yeah. And the other thing you have to remember when you’re in the theater is the er, blocking.T: What’s that?J: Blocking? It’s er, it’s where you stand or, or move to, you know? Er, like, whenyou say your words you might have to walk quickly across the stage or move in front of someone. It’s all planned and er, you have to remember it.T: Oh, I see.J: But it’s funny: For, for other things I have a terrible memory. I’m totally useless.I always forget birthdays and dates. I’m always late for things. It’s just ... yeah ...luckily, I’m OK with my lines.P: What about you, Tim?T: I5m probably the same as all other students. At least all other history students. I have to memorize dates and also names. But it5s not that difficult because you read about them so much you can’t really forget them. But for other things I have a really bad memory. I can never remember jokes or films. Sometimes I’m watching a film and after an hour I realize I’ve seen it already. I’m completely hopeless like that.J: Oh, oh, me too. Tell me...ViewingScriptsCB = Christine Bleakley; S = Supervisor; AC = Adrian ChilesCB: Oh ... I’m doing it for real today.S: This challenge is incredibly tough. She is gonna be operating in sub-zero temperatures forover 90 minutes. If she falls in the water too often ... the challenge is over. If she makes this, it will be a true achievement and a true landmark for Sport Relief. S: How are you feel (feeling)?CB: I feel like I am in some sort of a ... odd dream. I really do.AC: All those nerves, all that adrenalin, it’s all gonna come flowing out as soon as we get on the water.S: Yeah, yeah. So ... remove the fear and just keep focused on what you’ve gotta do and that is,land on that beach in Calais.CB: Now it’s just me against the Channel.S: Go!CB: I’m determined not to fall in but I soon realize determination might not be enough. After several falls into the freezing water I already feel like I can’t take much more.S: We’re just about a quarter of the way in and she’s already fallen five times - now that ... thatis gonna take its toll without any shadow of a doubt in the later stages. Every time she goes in, I get a bit more worried. The weather’s not looking good.There’s white tops on the waves.CB: But despite my best efforts, the wind and waves mean I can’t stop myself falling.S: She’s fallen in 10 times in just 10 miles. That simply isn’t good enough for thischallenge.She has got to dig in now and start to focus.CB: This could be an impossible challenge.S: She is focused. She is in the zone. She’s starting to fly now. Now we start to believe that shecould truly make this challenge.CB: My arms and body hurt so much but I just don’t want to give up.S: The hands have gone, the back’s going, the legs are tired, but we’ve still got seven miles togo.AC: She’s turned it around here. The first half didn’t go well. She’s pulled it out of the bag.CB: I can see France. And nothing is going to stop me.AC: Five more minutes and you’re there. Just enjoy this. Keep smiling. Come on!We’re there!CB: I did it! I did it! I could see this from out there. I thought wow, that looks fabulous.S: Everybody around was worried whether she could make this or not. It is an incredibly toughchallenge.CB: Oh, that is a very welcome sight.S: The first woman to water ski across the Channel in the winter, having only got on waterskis four months ago. She is remarkable. It5s a truly outstanding achievement. Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsM = Man; W = WomanM: It5s interesting: One of the most intelligent people I know is a 10-year-old boy from Egypt. He, he doesn’t go to school and he works on a street in Cairo, in one of the touristy areas. And he sells things like small statues of the pyramids, things like that, to tourists. Now, the reason I say he’s intelligent is that he can sell you something in about 15 languages. I once spent an afternoon watching him, and it was incredible. Most of the time he uses English, but he guesses where you’re from by looking at you, and then he starts speaking. He can speak just a little bit of French, Spanish …Japanese, Italian, German, etc. It’s amazing.He knows just enough in all these languages to say hello and sell you something. W: How did he learn the languages?M: I asked him that and he said he learned them by talking to tourists.W: Ah, that is quite amazing.M: So anyway, that’s my example. Like I said, he doesn’t go to school. But for me, he’s super-intelligent. What about you?W: I can think of loads of people who don’t have any qualifications but are able to do really difficult things. I’ve got a friend, for example, who built his own house.He just taught himself how to do it, bought a piece of land, bought the materials and the equipment and just did it. No qualifications, no certificates, no university degree. In my view, that’s a real practical kind of intelligence.M: Yeah, I couldn’t do that.W: Let me give you another example. I’ve got another friend who takes parts of old cars and makes new cars from them. He does it at the weekend as a way to relax.And the new car actually works!M: I couldn’t do that either.W: I wouldn’t know where to start. And this is someone who left school at 15 to do an apprenticeship. But you know, having said that, I do think qualifications are useful in some ways. I mean, for one thing, they show that you are able to complete a course, that you’re motivated and committed enough.M: Yeah, I think that’s true.W: But I must say real-life experience, traveling, going out and meeting people, talking …I think these give you an amazing education, too.M: Exactly. That’s what I was saying. Just like the boy from Egypt.Group discussionScriptsT = Tracy HackstonT: A couple of years ago, er, I learned how to scuba dive which was um, really exciting, really good experience and when you5re learning, half of the, the, the training is in the classroom and half is practical in a swimming pool. So the classroom stuff was fine. Um, I found it really quite easy. I was learning with my mum and she was really worried about doing the kind of more academic stuff and passing the exam but I found that part OK. It was the practical stuff that I had trouble with and she was really lucky. She was um, really good. But you go and you learn all the, the technical stuff, you know, how to go under the water, how to clear your mask if you get water in it, that kind of thing. And then you have to do two dives outside in a, in a kind of reservoir or a quarry or, you know, something like that. But obviously because I’m in the UK, it was really, really cold and we woke up on the morning of our dive and there was ice on the water, so when we got there we were very nervous and didn’t want to get into the water. But onceI was in, it was so freezing that I tried to go under the water, but the more I triedthe harder it got and then I got very frustrated and started to cry, and then all my ears got blocked up and I couldn’t get under. But eventually I managed it and um, went down, passed my test, did all of the skills that you need to do. Despite the fact that I was so terrible at it I managed to pass and um, now I’m passed, I can go anywhere I want, so I’ll make sure it will be somewhere very hot. So, um, to sum up, although it was a really difficult, really difficult challenge, I’m so gladI managed it. Um …For me, it was quite an achievement and, and I’m proud ofmyself for having done it.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: Hello, Mr. Williams. This is John Barrett’s secretary. I’m calling to cancel his appointment with you at 10 today as he is not feeling well.M: Thanks for calling. It’s quite all right. We’ll arrange some other time to meet. Q: What is the man going to do?Conversation 2M: I need to use more than just my math skills for these questions but I don’t havea calculator. Shall I go and buy one?W: Actually, I’ve got two. And I’ll let you have one for the price of a coffee.Q: What do we learn about the woman from this conversation?Conversation 3M: Professor Smith, I’d like to have your advice as to my career development in the future.W: It’s my pleasure. I think you are good at abstract thinking. I am sure you’ll make it if you pursue your graduate work in theoretical physics.Q: What does the woman advice the man to do?Conversation 4W: I can’t believe Ken missed such an important lecture even though I reminded him the daybefore yesterday.M: You should know him better by now. He5s known for taking everything in one ear and straight out the other.Q: What does the man imply?Conversation 5W: I hear you’re working as a market surveyor this summer. It’s got to be awfully difficult going to so many places in such hot summer days.M: Well, it is challenging, but I get to meet lots of new people and the pay is decent enough.Q: What does the man think of his job?Long conversationScriptsW: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I need permission to drop your class, Literature and Writing.M: It’s only the second week of class, Stacey. Why are you giving up so quickly? We’ve only written one essay so far, and you won’t get your grade back until next Wednesday!W: I know, sir. But as a third-year engineering student, I don’t want to risk lowering my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing class!M: OK …What’s worrying you?W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to write the three-page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but important, as we know.But a writing course ... I don’t know. I’ll just take a film class next semester, not hard at all - a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanities requirements.M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I was the opposite. Math was hard; literature was easy.But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the 15th street, math helped me!W: Wait! You own The Found Librarian? That’s our favorite coffee place. We get coffee and screenplay at more than 30 different production dessert there every week - and work on math homework.M: Yeah, that’s my shop. Stacey, let’s reconsider. Success in life needs a variety of skills. Humanities majors need math. Engineering majors need writing skills. This writing class will serve you well. Go to the University Writing Center and sign up for free tutoring. Then stop by my office each Friday at 11 a.m. and I’ll work with you.Together you can succeed in becoming a strong writer. A good deal?W: Yes! Thank you, Dr. Pearl!Passage 1ScriptsIn 1978, as I applied to study film at the University of Illinois, my father objected and quoted me a statistic, “Every year, 50,000 performers compete for 200 available roles on Broadway.” Against his advice, I boarded a flight to the US.Some years later, when I graduated from the film school, I came to understand my father5s concern. It was nearly unheard of for a Chinese newcomer to make it in the American film industry. Beginning in 1983, I struggled through six years of annoying, hopeless uncertainty. Much of the time, I was helping film crews with their equipment or working as editor’s assistant. My most painful experience involved shopping a screenplay at more than 30 different production companies, and being met with harsh rejection each time.That year, I turned 30. Yet, I couldn’t even support myself. What could I do? Keep waiting, or give up my moviemaking dream? My wife gave me strong support. Her income was terribly modest. To relieve me from feeling guilty, I took on all housework - cooking, cleaning, taking care of our son - in addition to reading, reviewing films and writing scripts.It was rather shameful for a man to live this kind of life. Afterward, I enrolled in a computer course at a community college. At that time, it seemed that only the knowledge of computer could quickly make me employable. One morning, right before she got in her car to head off to work, my wife turned back and - standing there on our front steps - said, “Ang Lee, don’t forget your dream.”Sometime after, I obtained funding for my screenplay, and began to shoot my own films. After that, a few of my films started to win international awards. Recalling earlier times, my wife confessed, “I’ve always believed that you only need one gift. Your gift is making films.” And today, I’ve finally won that golden statue. I think my own perseverance and my wife’s immeasurable sacrifice have finally met their reward.Q1: When did Ang Lee come to understand his father’s concern about studying film?Q2: What was Ang Lee’s most painful experience according to the passage?Q3: Why did Ang Lee enroll in a computer course at a community college?Q4: What did Ang Lee’s wife think of him according to the passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersNothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It’s so important to 1) believe in yourself. Believe that you can do anything under any 2) circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief just keeps you 3) searching for success, and then pretty soon you can get it. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going, and how you are going to get there. It comes from 4) a strong sense of purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take 5) responsibility, rather than just let life happen.One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence does not equal self-importance. Self-importance is born out of fear and 6) insecurity, while confidence comes from strength and 7) integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it, and knowing that you are capable of 8) accomplishing anything you want.Anything can be achieved through focused, determined effort, commitment and selfconfidence. If your life is not what you 9) are longing for, you have the power to change it, and you must make such changes on a moment by moment basis. Live with your goals and your plan of action, and live each moment with your 10) priorities in mind, then you will have the life you want._Unit 2 Emotions speak louder than words Listening to the worldSharingScriptsP = Pasha; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; Ml = Man 1, etc.Part 1P: Hello.

I think that you always have to look on the bright side. And I know it’s cheesy, but it’s best to think what you can do, not what you could have done.M1: I think I am an optimist. I …I think generally I look on the bright side. I hope I see the best in people. I don’t expect bad, you know, disasters or, or …to be let down in things.M3: I’d say I swing between the two.

So, I’m really happy about it.ListeningScriptsR = Radio presenter; C = Clip; P = Professor; M = ManR: Welcome to Start the Day!C: Hello. Can I help you? Your call is important to us. Hello. Can I help you? Sorry, all our operators are busy at the moment. Please hold.M: They put you in a queue for ages, listening to this terrible music. When you finally speak to someone, you’re so angry, you just want to shout...R: Anger. We all know the feeling. A report out last year shows that people are getting angrier. One in 10 people say that they’ve trouble controlling their temper. Traffic jams, airports, call centers, computer crashes - they can all leave us feeling angry, and anger is difficult to control. Or is it? Professor Miller from the Metropolitan University is here to tell us about two very different therapies to help deal with stress. First of all, destruction therapy. What’s that about?P: Well, basically, the idea is that a lot of people, when they get angry, they don’t know what to do with their anger - they don’t deal with it very well. They just keep it inside.But, if you don’t deal with your anger, sooner or later it will explode. So, with destruction therapy, you use your anger to destroy something, but in a controlled way, and the idea is that if you do that, it helps you to feel better.R: OK, I get angry a lot. Can destruction therapy help me?P: Perhaps. We can try it. What we do is we take you to a place full of old cars. When we get there, I’ll give you a hammer, and you can use it to smash a car to pieces.R: Really? Is it that simple? If I smash the car to pieces, will I feel better?P: Yes, a little. But that’s only the beginning. Then, I’ll ask you to think about a situation in the past when you felt really angry. And when you think about that anger situation, you’ll hit the car much harder. And the therapy will be much more satisfying. When we finish the session, you’ll feel much better.R: That’s amazing, and businesses are using this kind of therapy in Spain, is that right?P: Yes, there are some old hotels in Spain. You can pay to go and destroy the hotel. So, some companies who feel that their workers are stressed, or they need to build a team, send their workers to destroy the hotel. And it’s a good way for them to get rid of that stress. It works.R: That’s incredible. But there’s another idea I want to ask you about. People say that laughter is the best medicine. And nowadays, laughter therapy is used in hospitals to help people with pain.P: That’s right.R: So, how does that work?P: Well, if people laugh about something, they feel better. On average, children laugh up to 400 times a day, but when we grow up, we only laugh about 17 times a day.And it5s not enough, because when you laugh, your body produces chemicals - and these chemicals make you feel happier. And they also make you feel less pain.So, in Mexico, for example, they use laughter therapy in hospitals. A group of people go around the hospital, visiting the patients, and, basically, they make them laugh, by telling them jokes, or doing something funny.R: And does it really work? Do people feel better afterwards?P: Absolutely! They feel better, and they don’t need medicine.R: That’s brilliant. So, in Mexico, laughter really is the best medicine?P: Yes, it looks like it. That’s right …ViewingScriptsI = Izzy; M = Marion; AC = Angel Clare; R = Retty; T = TessI: We can’t get there without walking through it.M: That’s that then.

It’s one of my passions.M1: Well, I enjoy it a lot. I have traveled to India several times. I lived there, and I’ve lived here, and I’ve been to Istanbul once and I enjoyed that very much.W2: I’ve done quite a bit of traveling on holidays and stuff. I think it’s good, good experience.W3: You get to meet different people coming from different backgrounds, and that’s really important to get an understanding.M2: It’s always just nice to get out and experience a different culture and different lifestyle.W4: I get very excited about the thought of going to most countries, any country.W5: I love to travel to different countries.M3: Absolutely love traveling.

I’ve been to Malta.M4: I work as an expedition leader and so I actually operate in different countries around the world, many places outside the United Kingdom.Part 3F: What do you like about traveling?M3: I think you mature a lot when you travel. You, er, you learn … oh, just completely different experiences to what you’re used to at home.W6: I like the airport experience. I love that.M5: I like the arrival more than the traveling.W5: To see art especially. We love to see theater in other countries.M4: You see some, some of the most beautiful scenery around the world which you wouldn’t experience in other countries.M2: I just really like getting out there and experiencing a different culture, getting far away from, you know, what we’re used to in Australia, and meeting new people.W4: The anticipation of being in a new place, of seeing very different things, er, of hearing a different language, (and) of eating different food. Everything that travel has to offer.Part 4F: What don’t you like?W6: I don’t like long flights.W3: I suppose plane journeys aren’t always the most exciting of things.W1: Flying. I don’t particularly like flying, but it’s a necessity when you live in Ireland, you know.M2: I suppose the biggest problem I have with traveling is living out of a suitcase.W4: In all honesty, I actually see the whole travel as an adventure in itself. So, er, when, when I was backpacking, and we all … we ran out of money, or we were in dangerous situations, I actually quite enjoyed that.M4: You spend a lot of time outside the United Kingdom, and the disadvantage of that is, that you,you tend t o miss families and friends. I miss out on normal things in life, so … I’ve beenoutside the United Kingdom for two thirds of the year. I’d say that’s the main disadvantage.W5: The hardest thing for me is that I am handicapped.

But the problem isthat this beautiful and charming city is slowly sinking. Ever since the 14th century engineers have tried to work out a way to stop the floods in Venice, but so far nobody has managed. Sometimes there are as many as 40 floods per year between March and September, and Venice is actually sinking at a rate of two and a half inches every decade. It’s very possible that your grandchildren, and their grandchildren will never have the chance to see this fragile city. Everyone should have the chance to enjoy the city, to walk across its famous bridges, through its ancient squares. There are no cars in Venice, and many people think it helps this to be one of the most romantic cities in the world. So, can it be saved?Well, they are trying. Barriers are being put in to try and stop the water getting too high. Thisis viewed as a temporary measure, although they should last 100 years, so the problem is finding a permanent solution. If you want my advice, go there while you still can, and then together we can put pressure on the government to spend the money it needs to find a permanent way to keep this beautiful and historic city for future generations. We have an opportunity now to save this city, and we must, before it’s too late.ViewingScriptsV = Voice-over; M1 = Man 1, etc.; JL = Joanna Lumley; W1 = Woman 1, etc.;EH = Eamonn Holmes; JJE = Jocelyn Jee Esien; AF = Alex Fraser;JP = John Palmer; MJ = Melanie Jones; LS = Lucy Sassoon; Vs = VoicesV: There are so many amazing places to see around the world.

We want to experience the local culture, their music, food, and way of life. So our plan is to speak to the local people about these things and to film them. We hope to find out about their traditions and to see what they think of their history. Well, um, finally, my husband and I always wanted to go to Easter Island.

The plants are so thick that you couldn’t even see the sun or the sky above, and there are more shades of green than I’ve seen before in my life!M: Wow, with so many plants, how did you get around?W: We rode a tour boat down the Amazon River – it connects the whole jungle, and the local people use it to travel, too. It’s amazing being somewhere so far away from technology,without any electricity for miles and m iles. The local people don’t even see the world outsideof the jungle, never traveling more than 15 minutes up or down the river their whole lives!M: What an entirely different lifestyle! It must be completely different there. Did you get to meet any of the villagers?W: Oh yes! Here’s the story: I finished a small blue bottle of wine and was about to throw it away. The tour guide told me to save it. Later, when we arrived at one of the villages, he introducedme to an old woman there who greeted our boat. I gave her the wine bottle as a gift. Shelooked at it like a great treasure, and she said that it would be an honored prize for her hut. Iwas shocked that something so small and common for me – could mean so much!M: Emily, I suppose we really take modern life for granted.Q1: What does the woman say about the plants in the Amazon rainforest?Q2: What does the woman say about the local people?Q3: Why was the old woman in the village so excited?Q4: What has the woman learned from her traveling experience?Passage 1ScriptsI believe watching nature programs on television is not going to give us and our children areal experience of nature. On the contrary, they may distance us from nature – actual nature – even further.Because real nature experiences mean contact with nature. It means being with and within nature, to experience it with all five senses.True, TV programs give us joy but they will never be able to help us form a relationship with nature. We watch our small screens come alive with the vivid colors and we all let out “aahhhh …”and “wooooow”. But, never once will we feel the pleasure of being close to nature.Worse still – the programs such as those on the Discovery Channel make nature seem so strange, and so far away, in the forests of the Amazon or in the wilds of Africa. Children may grow up without even realizing that the flowers, plants or a couple of trees in their backyard are nature and they are equally precious. The truth is – nature is so close to us. We don’t need to go anywhere far to enjoy such experiences. It is right there in our backyards. Or, in parks, gardens, forests, or national parks.All we need to do is make an effort to get closer to nature – know it, appreciate it, andexplore it. Feeling the soil under our feet and the wind in our hair; listening to the sound of the fallen leaves and taking in the smell of the wet soil – all these are pure joy to the senses that we must experience.Q1: What may happen to children after watching nature programs on TV?Q2: How should children get close to nature according to the speaker?Q3: What impression might the Discovery Channel leave on children?Q4: What is the main idea of this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersI have never been able to understand people who don’t see the point in traveling. Thecommon reason is that traveling is a waste of time and money. I’ve heard some are 1) scared to travel too far away. I can’t help but feel sorry particularly for those who 2) perceive the experience of seeing a new place as a 100 percent 3) negative one. Telling them stories about unusual encounters doesn’t 4) result in the expected curiosity but a “Why would you wanna go there!?” It makes me 5) lose faith in humanity. Experience is the best teacher and knowledge is power. The things traveling can teach you are beautiful because you learn to trust in what you see rather than what you are told.It was Mark Twain who said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness,”whic h in my mind 6) goes down as the closest to the truth about traveling. Too bad there aren’t enough people with the means to travel actually doing it. If you have the means to go abroad, you should do it despite going out of your comfort zone. You might realize why you loved it once you’re back home.I think traveling is also the best thing you could do if you feel 7) depressed at home, don’tknow what to do with your future, your life, your partner – anything. Once you are away, 8) preferably somewhere very new and unknown, you are forced to 9) adapt and meet people. This works especially if you travel alone. A new life and especially the new relationships you build, even if only for a short period of time, 10) reveal opportunities and views you never would have thought of and had otherwise.。

He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isn’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance firs t and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and because that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’mnever going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropi c (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets bu t didn’t want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know –but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carlos wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europe for the first time. That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I:Hi, Marek.

When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to cleanit up and bring everything to its proper order.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let5s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve le ft home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom tobecome friends wi th. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have a ny parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.Unit 2 A break for funFurther practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: Why didn’t you show up at John’s party last night?

The latest data from a survey show that in 2010, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television. The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife, animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their top activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending timelistening to music was selected as their top activity.Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported less frequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening.Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in their free time? Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives?Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people? Q4: According to the survey, how are leisure activities related to age?Passage 2Scripts and answersPeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1) comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2) traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is 3) constantly “sold out” year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become 4)available.This outdoor festival, supported by a newspaper, takes place every April for one weekend. This year, about 70,000 people 5) took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6) attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7) audience question-and-answer period following each talk. A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8) free of charge. Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices of the food court.The idea for holding the festival in Los Angles was 9) put forward years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would people in this city 10) embrace one? “Fortunately,they do,” said one of the festival founders.Unit 3 Life momentsFurther practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: How I wish you had gone to the concert with me last night.

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science and technology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13 th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck if a black cat crosses their path.A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance,some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have good luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they blow out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: According to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Passage 2ScriptsSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US historysince 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.Unit 4 Getting from A to BFurther practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: Would you like to share a taxi with me to the airport?

Because I remember going there once on the No. 28.W: The No. 28 bus has been canceled. It used to run straight to my house and it was faster than the No. 46. It’s too bad.Q: What does the woman say about the bus services?Conversation 4W: Many people would rather take the bus or the subway than drive bythemselves.

Now my travel time to work is so long that any extra time - like for shopping - can be really tough. The new high-speed train will connect our office in the old part of the city with all the new shopping areas. So, Iwill be able to do my shopping on the way home from work!M: Oh, that’s great. And the new high-speed train will make a circle around the entire city. It will connect my neighborhood with the airport.

Q4: How will the new high-speed train affectthe man?Passage 1ScriptsStudies show Americans spend more time than ever commuting. The average one-way commute has grown by 13 percent to 25 minutes. For a growing number of people, getting to work takes more than an hour. In 2000, only in New York State did more than 10 percent of workers spend more than an hour getting to work. Now that situation can be found in several other states as well. Two point eight million people have so-called extreme commutes because they spend more than 90 minutes on their way to work.Steven, an electrical engineer, has an extreme commute between home and work. He leaves home before dawn and returns after dark, but as tiring or boring as Steven’s trip may sound, he says it’s the way to keep the home and job he loves. “I have the balance right now,” Steven said. “I could dosimilar jobs closer, but not with the work rewards and job satisfaction I have now. And I could live closer, but I wouldn’t have the lifestyle that I desire.”Longer commutes frequently involve people who live at one end of the city and work at another. Such a pattern probably begins with companies moving away from the city center, attracting workers to move to less expensive areas farther away from the city center. People see this as an opportunity because such a move may provide more affordable housing or better schools. Steven spends about $185 a week on gas. Even high fuel costs can pay off in a better quality of life.Added to long commutes are increased traffic jams, however. Commuters typically spend 47 hours a year in traffic jams, up from 40 hours a decade earlier.Q1: How much time on average do Americans spend on their way to work? Q2: What is the present situation about Americans’ commuting to work?Q3: Why does Steven choose to have an extreme commute?Q4: Which of the following is the disadvantage of long commutes?Passage 2Scripts and answersHumans’ first means of transportation were walking and swimming. 1) Gradually, humans learned to use animals for transportation. The use of animals not only allowed heavier loads to be hauled by them, but also 2) enabled humans to ride the animals so they could travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel helped make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of 3) vehicles. Also, water transportation 4) dates back to very early times and it was the bestway to move large quantities of materials over long distances before the Industrial Revolution. 5) As a result, most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been established along rivers or the coast.Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive. After the Revolution, transportation changed 6) thoroughly. In the 19th century, the invention of the steam engine made land transportation independent of human or animal power. Both speed and 7) capacity increased rapidly.With the development of cars at the 8) turn of the 20th century, land transportation became more common. In 1903, the first controllable airplane was invented, and after World War I, it became a fast way to transport people and goods. After World War II, 9) automobiles and airplanes became more popular as methods of transportation. Then, after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, passengers started using it in Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long distances.Now, 10) thanks to the development of technology, human beings are able to enjoy various methods of transportation for their speed and comfort.Unit 5 Relax and exploreFurther practice in listeningShort conversationScriptsConversation 1W: Friday is a public holiday.

But the problem isthat this beautiful and charming city is slowly sinking. Ever since the 14th century engineers have tried to work out a way to stop the floods in Venice； but so far nobody has managed. Sometimes there are as many as 40 floods per year between March and September； and Venice is actually sinking at a rate of two and a half inches every decade. It’s very possible that your grandchildren；and their grandchildren will never have the chance to see this fragile city. Everyone should have the chance to enjoy the city； to walk across its famous bridges； through its ancient squares. Thereare no cars in Venice； and many people think it helps this to be one of the most romantic cities in the world. So； can it be saved?Well； they are trying. Barriers are being put in to try and stop the water getting too high. Thisis viewed as a temporary measure； although they should last 100 years； so the problem is finding apermanent solution. If you want my advice； go there while you still can； and then together we canput pressure on the government to spend the money it needs to find a permanent way to keep this beautiful and historic city for future generations.

On the contrary； they may distance us from nature – actual nature –evenfurther.Because real nature experiences mean contact with nature. It means being with and within nature； to experience it with all five senses.True； TV programs give us joy but they will never be able to help us form a relationship with natureaahhhh …”and “wooooow”. But； never once will we feel the pleasure of being close to nature.Worse still – the programs such as those on the Discovery Channel make nature seem so strange； and so far away； in the forests of the Amazon or in the wilds of Africa. Children may grow up without even realizing that the flowers； plants or a couple of trees in their backyard are nature and they are equally precious. The truth is –nature is so close to us. We don’t need to go anywhere far to enjoy such experiences. It is right there in our backyards. Or； in parks；gardens；forests； or national parks.All we need to do is make an effort to get closer to nature – know it； appreciate it； and explore it. Feeling the soil under our feet and the wind in our hair; listening to the sound of the fallen leaves and taking in the smell of the wet soil – all these are pure joy to the senses that we must experience.Q1: What may happen to children after watching nature programs on TV?Q2: How should children get close to nature according to the speaker?Q3: What impression might the Discovery Channel leave on children?Q4: What is the main idea of this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersI have never been able to understand people who don’t see the point in traveling. Thereason is that traveling is a waste of time and money. I’ve heard some are 1) scared totravel too far away. I can’t help but feel sorry particularly for those who 2) perceive the experience of seeing a new place as a 100 percent 3) negative one. Telling them stories about unusual encounters doesn’t 4) result in the expected curiosity but a “Why would you wanna go there!?” It makes me 5) lose faith in humanity. Experience is the best teacher and knowledge is power. The things traveling can teach you are beautiful because you learn to trust in what you see rather than what you are told.It was Mark Twain who said； “Travel is fatal to prejudice； bigotry and narrow-mindedness；”which in my mind 6) goes down as the closest to the truth about traveling. Too bad there aren’t enough people with the means to travel actually doing it. If you have the means to go abroad；youshouldyou’re back home.I think traveling is also the best thing you could do if you feel 7) depressed at home； don’t know what to do with your future； your life； your partner – anything. Once you are away； 8) preferably somewhere very new and unknown； you are forced to 9) adapt and meet people. This works especially if you travel alone. A new life and especially the new relationships you build；even if only for a short period of time； 10) reveal opportunities and views you never would have thought of and had otherwise.。

When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was somuch more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let5s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve le ft home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends wi th. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?”5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have a ny parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step backand try something else. They should just give it a go!

Surfing?M: Haha, I bet you think I’m too old for surfing! I’ve been surfing s ince I was 11, and it’s still my favorite activity.The cool blue waves, the smell of the sea, just take me back to when I was a teenager free from care. I forget all my troubles. By Sunday night, I fall into a deep sleep, sore and tired, without a care in the world.W: That’s really nice. I’m going to the beach, too. I love relaxing in the warm sun, watching my niece and nephew play in the sand and jump in the waves. They’ll tire themselves out building sand castles, collecting seashells, and trying to bury each other in the sand.M: Oh, I remember building sand castles with my brothers ... such great fun. How old are little Timmy and Monica now?W: Tim’s five and Monica’s three.M: Wow, kids grow up so fast!Q1: Why is surfing the man’s favorite activity?Q2: What is the woman going to do this weekend?Q3: What does the woman love doing?Q4: What does the man remember doing with his brothers?Passage 1ScriptsPeople in Britain enjoy various leisure activities including watching TV, seeing friends and relatives, listening to music, shopping, listening to the radio, gardening, doing sports, reading, and so on. The latest data from a survey show that in 2010, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television. The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife, animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their top activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending timelistening to music was selected as their top activity.Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported lessfrequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening.Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in their free time? Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives?Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people? Q4: According to the survey, how are leisure activities related to age?Passage 2Scripts and answersPeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1) comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2) traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is 3) constantly “sold out” year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become 4) available.This outdoor festival, supported by a newspaper, takes place every April for one weekend. This year, about 70,000 people 5) took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6) attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7) audience question-and-answer period following each talk. A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8) free of charge. Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices of the food court.The idea for holding the festival in Los Angles was 9) put forward years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would people in this city 10) embrace one? “Fortunately,they do,” said one of the festival founders.Unit 3 Life momentsFurther practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: How I wish you had gone to the concert with me last night.The band was terribly good!M: I knew it would be.

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science and technology. But American people sometimes believe insuperstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13 th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck if a black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have good luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they blow out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck? Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: According to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Passage 2ScriptsSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US history since 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.Unit 4 Getting from A to BFurther practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: Would you like to share a taxi with me to the airport?

Now my travel time to work is so long that any extra time - like for shopping - can be really tough. The new high-speed train will connect our office in the old part of the city with all the new shopping areas. So, I will be able to do my shopping on the way home from work!M: Oh, that’s great. And the new high-speed train will make a circle around the entire city. It will connect my neighborhood with the airport. I will be able to ride it from my neighborhood to the airport in 20 minutes and save money on parking my car!Q1: How long will the woman spend on her way to and from work by high-speed train?Q2: When does the woman arrive back home by subway?Q3: According to the woman, in what way will the newhigh-speed train be a big help to her? Q4: How will the newhigh-speed train affect the man?Passage 1ScriptsStudies show Americans spend more time than ever commuting. The average one-way commute has grown by 13 percent to 25 minutes. For a growing number of people, getting to work takes more than an hour. In 2000, only in New York State did more than 10 percent of workers spend more than an hour getting to work. Now that situation can be found in several other states as well. Two point eight million people have so-called extreme commutes because they spend more than 90 minutes on their way to work.Steven, an electrical engineer, has an extreme commute between home and work. He leaves home before dawn and returns after dark, but as tiring or boring as Steven’s trip may sound, he says it’s the way to keep the home and job he loves. “I have the balance right now,” Steven said. “I could do similar jobs closer, but not with the work rewards and job satisfaction I have now. And I could live closer, but I wouldn’t have the lifestyle that I desire.”Longer commutes frequently involve people who live at one end of the city and work at another. Such a pattern probably begins with companies moving away from the city center, attracting workers to move to less expensive areas farther awayfrom the city center. People see this as an opportunity because such a move may provide more affordable housing or better schools. Steven spends about $185 a week on gas. Even high fuel costs can pay off in a better quality of life.Added to long commutes are increased traffic jams, however. Commuters typically spend 47 hours a year in traffic jams, up from 40 hours a decade earlier.Q1: How much time on average do Americans spend on their way to work?Q2: What is the present situation about Americans’ commuting to work?Q3: Why does Steven choose to have an extreme commute?Q4: Which of the following is the disadvantage of long commutes?Passage 2Scripts and answersHumans’ first means of transportation were walking and swimming. 1) Gradually, humans learned to use animals for transportation. The use of animals not only allowed heavier loads to be hauled by them, but also 2) enabled humans to ride the animals so they could travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel helped make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of 3) vehicles. Also, water transportation 4) dates back to very early times and it was the best way to move large quantities of materials over long distances before the Industrial Revolution.5) As a result, most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been established along rivers or the coast.Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive. After the Revolution, transportation changed 6) thoroughly. In the 19th century, the invention of the steam engine made land transportation independent of human or animal power. Both speed and 7) capacity increased rapidly.With the development of cars at the 8) turn of the 20th century, land transportation became more common. In 1903, the first controllable airplane was invented, and after World War I, it became a fast way to transport people and goods. After World War II, 9) automobiles and airplanes became more popular as methods of transportation. Then, after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, passengers started using it in Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long distances.Now, 10) thanks to the development of technology, human beings are able to enjoy various methods of transportation for their speed and comfort.Unit 5 Relax and exploreFurther practice in listeningShort conversationScriptsConversation 1W: Friday is a public holiday.

Unit 1 How we behave is who we areListening to the worldSharingScriptsP = Pasha; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.Part 1P: Hello. City life can be quite impersonal, so I try to smile at people and thank them whenever they behave kindly, but some forms of anti-social behavior really do get on my nerves. Today I’m talking to people about good and bad behavior. What kind of behavior in public places gets on your nerves?Part 2W1: I think what mostly gets on my nerves is when people listen to their music really loudly on a stereo when you’re on the train, or in a lift. I think that’s a bit antisocial.M1: Um, probably noise more than anything actually. Um, I suppose it’s one of those sorts of things you see in effect in towns, areas now get louder and louder – probably later into the night as well.W2: Well, screaming babies, in, like shops and just generally around and the parents, kind of standing there and not really, just kind of ignoring the child and you just want to, just, tell the baby to just “shut up” but, obviously, you can’t.M2: Loud noise: people with loud voices. Er, people, er, bad manners.W3: When you’re on public transport, like on a train, and couples start kissing in front of you.M3: Smoking within the vicinity. Um, as someone who personally doesn’t smoke, er, I find it, it can, er ... it can get on my nerves at times.Part 3P: Give a recent example of when you experienced good or bad manners.M3: The other day, just as an example, um, recent lack of manners I think, was in a … a local park and er, there was a rubbish bin nearby, but that person instead of taking the extra effort to just simply walk over and drop it in, decided carelessly to just drop their rubbish on the ground where they were.M1: I travel a lot on the trains and things like that, so I find, increasingly, the actual noise on trains from people using mobile phones, things like that really.W1: Well, recently, it’s … I’ve seen it a few times, you know, when, when you’re shopping or when you’re in a restaurant and you’re trying to … and you’re speaking to the person that’s serving you and maybe somebody’s, they’re on their phone, or they’re not really paying attention. You see that quite a lot, I think, in London particularly.W3: On the bus this morning, when an old gentleman got on and someone got up to give him a seat.Part 4P: Do you think our attitude towards behavior changes as we get older?W1: Yeah, I think it does. I think as you get older, you become, probably, a bit more intolerant of certain, sort of, anti-social behavior and, as, when you’re younger you’re probably not as aware of it.M2: I think the older people, er, definitely appreciate manners, good behavior and a good attitude. M1: I suppose so. I suppose we learn how to be more tolerant of it. Um, we can be, probably, more short-tempered of it because we’ve probably had it all of our lives and we want it to, sort of, come to an end, but I think we learn how to, sort of, either walk away from it or ignore it, that sort of things.W2: Yeah, definitely.W4: It becomes more important as you get older. You have to impress more people, therefore, be more polite.W2: Yeah, and you gain a conscience as you get older as well. As kids, like, you just say whatever you want to each other, kids, but you kind of realize what you can and can’t say as you get older.ListeningScriptsI = Interviewer; S1 = Speaker 1, etc.Part 1I: Now I’ve always thought it has to do with what time of day you’re born. I arrived at 10 o’clock at night and consequently I’m an owl – coming to life late in the evening and capable of dancing till dawn – which is a pity really because this job requires that I am a lark, getting up every morning at 5:30. Well, which are you and why?Part 2S1: I am up usually between five and half past most mornings. I’m bright and breezy. I sing in the morning. I’m wide awake. I love watching the sunrise. Whenever we go on holiday, my husband thinks I’m mad because quite often I get up with a camera, and I’m out there at half past four, five o’clock in the morning watching the sunrise and taking photographs. And I just love it. It is just so peaceful and so beautiful. It’s a lovely part of the day.S2: D efinitely not a morning person. Evening, without a doubt. I despise getting up with a passion.There is a real, real sense of dread, and, oh no, and there’s sort of lots of denial about … no, it didn’t really go off. And I sort of set it again for five minutes later, then I set it again for another five minutes later, and I stay there until the absolute last second.S3: I f I’m groggily out at nine or 10 in the morning, I do look at other people walking their dogs, or, walking along with a bounce in their step and I just think, “Where does it come from? How can you do that? Should I just eat more vegetables or more fruit or should I get up earlier to be more awake?” None of it works.S4: M y father and my mother are very much sort of early birds, and so when I was a teenager I’d sleep in and I’d have comments all the time like, “You … you’re sleeping your life away”, “You’ve wasted the best part of the day”, and it’s taken me until very, very recently actually to be able to stop the guilt at getting up late ...S5: L ate evening is best for me to be focusing rather than partying. That’s when I’m reallyt hinking straight. Everyone’s going to sleep at home here when I’m really mentally becoming most awake. That’s when I really feel at my sharpest.S6: A t the end of the day, nine o’clock, 10 o’clock, I’m exhausted, and so I want to go to bed.Anybody mentions “party” to me and I cringe.S7: D avid and I always joked before we had children that it would be great because he would be great in the mornings and I would be great in the evenings, and to a certain extent that’s true, but finding time in the middle just to talk to one another is trickier.I: W hat are you, lark or owl? And what are the effects? Do let us know on the message board on the website.ViewingScriptsDesmond Morris:Back in the late 1960s, I was sitting in this very restaurant on the island of Malta talking to my publisher. I drew his attention to the fact that, over the other side of the road there were two men who were gesticulating in a particular way. The way they were holding their palms to one side was fascinating me, and he said, “You know, you look at people the way that a bird-watcher looks at birds,” and I said, “Yeah, I suppose you could call me a ‘man watcher’.”As soon as I said it, it was as if I’d fired a starting gun on a major new project, one that was to engross me for many years to come and take me to over 60 different countries. I was going to do for actions what dictionary makers had done for words. I began making huge charts naming every facial expression, every gesticulation, every movement, every posture. I kept at it for month after month.One of the first problems I encountered was that even the simplest human action, such as the handshake, has countless variations.Sometimes it’s reduced to a mere palm touch, as with these Masai elders in East Africa. But in other countries it becomes more elaborate. In Mali in West Africa the handshaker briefly touches his own forearm as the palms clasp.In Morocco the handshakers kiss one another’s hands at the same time as clasping them. And in Turkey, these Kurdish farmers have taken this simple action and converted it into what amounts to a minor ritual. It’s the local rule that they can’t start bargaining until they’re shaking hands, and they have to keep on doing so until the deal is struck.The essential feature of handshaking is that it’s an egalitarian act. Regardless of their social standing, the two people involved are momentarily performing identical actions.Despite their variations, all these greetings have one thing in common: They’re all fine-tuned to the precise context in which they occur.Because a single message is given in a different way in different countries. The crazy sign: How do you say to somebody, “You’re crazy”? Well, here in Rome you do this, but, in England I would probably do this – the temple screw, saying he’s got a screw loose – or I might say his brain is going round and round, or I might, tap my head saying, “What does he think he’s got inside his skull?”In some countries you do it with two hands; it varies from place to place and, if you go to Japan you have to be careful because if you do it this way it means he’s intelligent; you have to doit in an anticlockwise direction in Japan if you want to say that somebody is crazy. So, all over the world the same message is given in a slightly different way.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsJ = Jim; L = LizJ: Here’s your coffee.L: Ah, thanks, Jim.

I, I mean, I know it’s not a lot, just small amounts each time but it kind of adds up quite quickly ... I, I dunno. Do you know what I mean?L: Y eah. Sorry. I didn’t realize. I know I’m terrible with money. I, I just forget. Look, I promise I’ll give it back, but … could you wait a week until I get paid?J: W ell, actually, you’ve said that once before. I, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea, but ... it, you know, never happened. And it makes things slightly awkward. I mean, it makes me feel just a bit annoyed. Do you see where I’m coming from?L: Oh. Yeah. I suppose so.J: L ook, I’ve got a suggestion. I’d feel better if we could work out how much is owed and then you could pay me back a little each week, you know, however much you can afford. How does that sound?L: Yeah, yeah. That sounds reasonable.J: OK, great.

But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded from the ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good air circulation or outdoor open areas.Q: What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa?Conversation 4M: S o, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home, they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence?W: Yes, that’s right. For example, they can suffer immediate and permanent physical harm.They can also experience short- and long-term emotional and behavioral problems.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Conversation 5W: S kipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn’t seem to be a successful strategy.M: No, it isn’t. While any breakfast may be better than no breakfast, a healthy breakfast can be something simple like a hard-boiled egg, a piece of 100 percent wholegrain toast along with a cup of 100 percent fruit juice.Q: What is recommended for a healthy breakfast?Long conversationScriptsM: I love working out!W: Ugh! You’re sweating all over the floor …M: I just ran five miles! A friend told me about this great park on Jefferson Street. I love exploring new parks!W: I try running at the gym three days a week, but it’s so boring looking at the TV monitor or the wall in front of me for an hour.M: Y ou should run outside! Being in nature, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the trees, I feel my mind relax and the stress just falls away.W: I t is nice outside. My mom loves t’ai chi and a nearby t’ai chi group meets every morning at 6a.m. I’ve tried going, but it’s too early for me to get out of bed …M: T’ai chi is really good. You need some kind of exercise. It’s unhealthy for you to sit in front of your computer all day, every day!W: Well, I recently spend my weekends away from my computer.M: Oh really? And what have you done recently that didn’t involve a computer or TV screen? W: P andas! I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of thebest panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six baby pandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.M: O h, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and go jogging in the zoo!W: A zoo membership! Now that’s a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo. It’s near my house, I can get good exercise and I can watch the baby pandas grow up!Q1: What has made the man sweat all over the floor?Q2: Why doesn’t the woman go to practice t’ai chi with her mom?Q3: What does the woman normally do on weekends?Q4: Why does the man suggest the woman get a zoo membership?Passage 1ScriptsHave you ever felt you don’t have enough hours in the day? Or that you’d give anything for a whole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me.First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn’t making the list; that’s the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number “2” next to anything that will just take a couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it’s a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter.Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or study then. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can do a day’s work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird, it can be difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning “night owls”, but that’s what email’s for!Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently I interrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now I only open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on you being constantly accessible by email, then you can’t do this; but be honest and ask yourself, “Am I an email addict?”With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed and be able to win some “me-time” for yourself.Q1: What tasks does the speaker tend to do first every day?Q2: How to work more efficiently according to the speaker?Q3: How does the speaker deal with emails now?Q4: What is the purpose of the talk?Passage 2Scripts and answersIn a perfect world, we would all avoid too much credit card debt and would never have to deal with the trouble of being unable to meet our credit card payment obligations. But this is not aperfect world, and unfortunately, these 1) distressing situations are the norm for many people.If you find yourself in this position, or heading there, you should cut your spending now. Don’t wait until your situation is so 2) desperate that you have few options available to you.Facing the factors that give you the 3) urge to spend money carelessly can be uncomfortable, but if you don’t face them, how will you control your debt and 4) acquire the things you truly want?One negative aspect of using credit cards instead of cash is that you 5) are totally unaware of the fact that you’re spending real money. The pleasant feelings you experience when you purchase the item 6) are isolated from the unpleasant feelings of making the payment when you get the credit card statement.Studies 7) affirm that most people are much less likely to buy when paying with cash as opposed to credit cards. So, try leaving your credit cards at home, and pay with cash or check.To really control your spending and your credit card debt, you need to examine what money means to you. Make an effort to notice how you 8) interact with money and what beliefs and attitudes you have about money. Studies also show that people with low self-esteem engage themselves in more 9) impulse spending and buying things they don’t need. Remind yourself daily that your worth as a person has nothing to do with how much money you have. Once you 10) are convinced of this, you will break the psychological barriers that were keeping you from handling your money wisely.Unit 2 Getting older, getting wiser?Listening to the worldSharingScriptsP = Pasha; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1P: Hi. I’m really excited about the next few months. I’m DJing on the banks of the River Thames in the heart of London and I’m playing some beach parties. Today I’ve come to Covent Garden to find out how people feel about their lives. What are you looking forward to in the future?Part 2M1: Er, I’m looking forward to having a family: I don’t have a family right now. Er, I’m looking forward to buying a house – er, I actually live in the United States right now and I haven’t bought a house there, so I’m looking forward to that. And I guess I’m looking forward to um, more travel.W1: Finding a job that I’m really passionate about.M2: Er, near future, I’m looking forward to a holiday next year. I’m going to Vegas with a family that I haven’t been away with um, for about five or six years now.W2: Getting a good job, and finishing university.M3: Nothing really. I kind of enjoy my life at the moment. Um, I ... I live in Australia now, and I’ve got things the way we like them at home, and life’s good.M4: Starting a new job next summer.Part 3P: Is there anything you aren’t looking forward to?W1: No, no, there’s nothing I can think about that I’m not looking forward to in the future.M2: The one thing that I’d have thought most people say is dying. Quite serious, but, other than that, no – I kind of embrace life to the full; look forward to most things.W3: Um, I have to say, the premise of getting older, and with getting older you have more responsibilities, so that’s one thing I won’t ... I’m not looking forward to.M1: Well, I’m not looking forward to retiring: Um, I like my job and I like working, and I think I’ll be a little bored when I retire.W2: It’s quite stressful looking for jobs and going to job interviews, so I do get nervous about that.M3: Getting older. Your body’s starting to fall to bits. Not looking forward to that, but it’ll happen.Part 4P: People say that your schooldays are the best days of your life. Do you think that’s true?W1: Absolutely. I do, yes, because you’re, the world is your oyster. You have so much hope, so many dreams, and you believe, you believe you can achieve anything. So yeah, definitely, I think so, yeah.M3: No. Schooldays were hell on earth for me. It was (They were) the worst days of my life.W2: Um, they’re quite stressful because you have exams, but I do think they’re fun: being able to be with your friends every day. So I do think that schooldays are ... are good days in your life.M1: Looking back on it, I had a great time at school. I’m sure at the time it seemed a little difficult, um, you know, trying to fit in, but now when I look back on it, they were fun days and, you know, I ... I ... I look at them very fondly.M4: For me, personally, my, er ... my schooldays were my favorite because I’ve still got friends from, going back 20-odd years.W3: That’s when I’ve created most ... the most valuable relationships I have in my life.M2: For most people, yes, but when I left school at 16, I was a fulltime footballer at Ipswich Town Football Club for two years. So, living away from home with friends and doing, kind of, the best thing I could do in my life, were the best two years of my life.ListeningScriptsPart 1OK ... so ... I’ve got the date ... “Thursday, the 20th of May, 2004. Dear the future me, I hope this letter has found its way to you / me. As I write this, I am 16 in Year 11; and as I read it, I am 20. Wow! I will have changed so much. I can only guess what I will be like at 20. I envisage to myself at Oxford Uni, sitting ...” oh, this is embarrassing ... “sitting under a tree by the river in the college grounds. I think I’ll be wearing something floaty and a bit indie, but I bet when I get this, it’ll, it’ll be raining.”“As I read this, I’ll have already remembered that I fancied Tom Squires ...” there you go, Tom ... I’m looking at him now. “I wonder if I’ll ever have the guts to tell him. ... I know, I’m a romantic. I hope that hasn’t changed. My plans for myself in the following years are to find a man, someone good-looking, romantic and intelligent, who, who shares my interests – or just Tom. Either way, um, I hope I’ll have someone.” I don’t remember this, “... and then I think I’ll have three children with long brown hair and green eyes.”“Well, I’ll stop now even though I want to write everything I can down, but I’m running out of time. I hope I’m happy in 2008, and I hope this letter makes me feel good about who I was, or am, as I write this. Keep smiling, and while I can’t really say bye, but good luck for the future and keep dreaming. Don’t change too much, and be happy with who you are – I like who I am now more than any other time. Love, Laura.”Part 2It all seems very shallow looking back and reading what I thought I’d be doing or hoped I’d be doing. I think my 16-year-old self might have been disappointed with where I am, but because I as my 20-year-old self have sort of grown up and matured, I’m absolutely ecstatic with the way where I am, and it doesn’t have to be this perfect sitting-by-a-lake kind of image.ViewingScriptsN = Narrator; B = Dr. Bradley WillcoxN: The remote island of Okinawa is home to one of the longest-living communities in the world.In a population of only one million, there are 900 centenarians, a percentage that’s over four times higher than Britain and America. It’s a place where age has a different meaning ... where people like Mr. Miyagi can expect to live way beyond his 92nd year. Unaware of the latest diet or lifestyle fad, Mr. Miyagi has developed his own way of defying the aging process.B: They’re not thinking about “Gee, if I do this, I’m not gonna live as long, if I ... I have one extra drink or if I eat this food or ...” – they’re not thinking about that at all. Most of them couldn’t care less what the scientists think. They just go about their business and live. They just happen to live a very long time.N: The explanation for this extraordinary phenomenon begins in the most ordinary of places. Like every town in Okinawa, the fruit and vegetable shop in Ogimi lies at the heart of village life.It’s here that Bradley and Craig believe the source of the Okinawa miracle can be traced. For the past 20 years, Bradley and Craig have been analyzing the life-enhancing Okinawan ingredients.B: Got reds here in the tomatoes, the peppers. You’ve got green peppers here.N: They’ve identified a number of crucial properties that guard the Okinawans from disease, from the antioxidant rich vegetables that protect against cell damage, to the high quantities of soya proteins. In Ogimi, 100-year-old Matsu is preparing a traditional Okinawan dish using all the vital ingredients. It’s only after the food is served that the most significant Okinawan tradition can be observed.B: The Okinawans developed also cultural habits over the years that appear to have health protective properties. They have a saying called “harahachibu” – eat until you’re only 80 percent full.N: In a typical day, Matsu only consumes around 1,200 calories, about 20 percent less than most people in Britain and America.B: In the West we’re very much focused on getting more for our money, and one of the most popular things is all these all-you-can-eat restaurants. You go and you load up at the, at the er, the all-you-can-eat restaurant, and you, you walk away with this bloated feeling and you ... you may have got your money’s worth, but you probably didn’t get your, your health’s worth, because what you’re doing is just digging yourself into an early grave.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsP = Presenter; V = Vince; J = Julia; D = Dan; Z = ZaraP: And up next, it’s time for Just Tell Me I’m Wrong. Today’s topic: How young is too young or, perhaps more accurately, how old is old enough? We’ve received hundreds of emails and text messages about the right age for a child to have a mobile phone, stay home alone, wear make-up, get their ears pierced, babysit for younger kids ... and we’ve got our first caller, Vince. Go ahead, Vince. You’re on.V: Hi. My situation is that my nine-year-old kept asking me to get her a mobile, so I bought herone a few months ago. Then, last week, I got a bill for over two hundred pounds, so I warned her I’d take the phone away from her if it happened again.P: So I gather your point is whether she’s too young to have a mobile?V: Yeah, yeah, that’s right.P: Er, surely it’s the parents’ responsibility to set some sort of guidelines ahead of time.V: So what you’re saying is I should have given her some rules?P: B asically, yes, when she first got the phone. OK, thanks Vince. Next caller is Julia. What’s your question, Julia?J: A bout the mobile phone thing. I’ve got an eight-year-old, and I worry about him all the time ifI can’t reach him. You know ... anything could happen ...P: So in other words, you want him to have a mobile.J: And have it on at all times. But he doesn’t want one.P: F air enough. Let me ask you a question. When you were eight years old and there were no mobile phones, what did your mother do? I bet you were allowed to go out on your own. Isn’t that an important part of growing up and developing a sense of independence and responsibility?J: So what you’re getting at is that I’m being overprotective?P: You could say that.J: Yeah, but don’t you agree that the world used to be a safer place?P: S urely that’s what every generation says. Anyway, thanks for your question, Julia. Let’s go to our next caller. Dan, you’re on.D: Hi, my question’s also about technology.P: OK. Go ahead.D: W ell, my son, Seth, he’s 12 and, up till recently, he was a normal 12-year-old, you know, he used to go out with his friends, play football with me, you know ... we had a great relationship. P: S o, Dan, from what you’re saying, I’m guessing he doesn’t want to spend so much time with you now, and you feel ...D: Oh no, it’s not that. It’s just that he spends all his time on the computer now.P: Isn’t that just normal nowadays?D: I t’s hard to say. Sometimes at the weekend he spends all day in his bedroom on the computer, on social networking sites or playing games. I don’t think it’s right. I mean for one thing, he never gets any exercise.P: D on’t you think it’s just a stage he’s going through? I used to spend hours in my bedroom listening to music when I was that age.D: You mean I should just relax and let him get on with it?P: Y eah, he’ll grow out of it. And you can’t force him to go and play football if he doesn’t want to.D: I guess not. Thanks.P: OK, our next caller is Zara.

At the moment, I’m studying Spanish. I’m enjoying it but I’m finding it quite difficult. Today we’re asking people about learning new things.Part 2W1: I’m learning to speak another language, actually. I’m learning French. I’m also learning, er, to drive.W2: I’m learning to play golf at the moment. Um, my husband and my son play golf, and when we go on holiday, I feel that I want to be able to play with them.W3: I’m learning to speak Spanish.W4: I am learning Arabic.M1: Well, I’ve been learning to play the guitar for about 50 years now. And it’s a constant process, so still learning bits, yes.W5: I’m learning yoga at the moment, and I’m finding it quite hard.M2: The courses I’m taking are, are training courses for leadership, er, negotiation, (and) evaluation.M3: I’m learning Swahili.W6: At the moment, I’m learning to paint and draw in evening classes for adults.W7: I’m studying part-time after work.M4: I’ve er, just learned how to er, do a lot of kayaking.W8: I am learning how to design a website at the moment.W9: I’m in a choir so singing, I guess, is pretty much the only thing I’m doing at the moment.M5: At the moment, I’m taking up a new instrument. It’s a traditional instrument from Zimbabwe, and it’s called the mbira. Er, let me show you.Part 3H: What’s the most difficult thing you’ve ever learned?M5: Patience, I think.W4: Arabic.M2: Courage.W3: Learning a language is particularly difficult for myself (me), so probably learning the Spanish.W6: The most difficult thing I have ever learned is Mandarin Chinese. I did it in evening classes a few years ago and I found it really, really difficult.W5: Probably capoeira, which is a Brazilian dance, martial art, fight thing. It’s a combination of all of these things. And yes, that was very difficult because there were lots of unusual bodymovements to learn.W1: Learning to drive was the most difficult thing.M3: Well, I learned some Sanskrit, and that’s got um, nine cases, two more than Latin. It’s quite difficult by most standards.M4: I think I found French very hard at school.W2: Um, I learned to play the trumpet at school. That was pretty difficult. Er ... and maybe learning to drive. I hated learning to drive.ListeningScriptsP = presenter; S = SallyP: Hi. You’re listening to Ask the Expert and in today’s program we’re talking about languages and how to learn a language. Our expert today is Sally Parker, who is a teacher. Hi Sally.S: Hello.P: Sally, our first question today is from Andy. He says, “I’ve just started learning English. My problem is that I’m too frightened to speak. My grammar is not very good, so I’m worried about saying the wrong thing.” Have you got any advice for Andy?S: OK. Well, the first thing is I think Andy should practice speaking to himself.P: Speaking to himself? I’m not sure that’s a good idea.S: I know it sounds silly, but talking to yourself in a foreign language is a really good way to practice. You don’t have to feel embarrassed, because nobody can hear you. You can talk to yourself about anything you like –what you had for breakfast, where you’re going for the weekend – anything. And the more you do it, the more you will get used to hearing your own voice and your pronunciation, so you won’t feel so frightened in the classroom. Andy should try it.P: Hm, I suppose so. Anything else? What about his grammar?S: He has only just started learning English, so he is going to make lots of mistakes, but that’s nota problem. That’s how he’ll learn. Andy shouldn’t worry about making mistakes.P: You’re right. So Andy, try talking to yourself, and don’t worry about making mistakes. Our next problem comes from Olivia in Brazil. She is worried about pronunciation. She says, “The problem is I can’t understand native speakers. They speak so fast and I can’t understand their pronunciation.” So Sally, any ideas for Olivia?S: Well, first of all it’s a good idea for her to practice her listening skills. She should listen to English as much as possible to get used to how it sounds. Listen to the news, listen to podcasts, (and) watch English television.P: OK –that’s a good idea.S: And another thing she should do is to focus on listening and reading at the same time. If you listen to something on the Internet, you can often read the transcript. If you listen and read at the same time, it’ll help you see what the words sound like and how the words sound when a native speaker is talking.P: Great. Thank you, Sally. Well, huh, I’m afraid that’s all we have time for today, but next week we’ll be …ViewingScriptsN = Narrator; I = Ian Deary; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.N: Recent research into the history of IQ tests in Scotland suggests your IQ score might predict, to an extent at least, your health and even your life expectancy.W1: You have 45 minutes to do the test, OK?M1: OK.N: Bill and Davina are 79 years old. This is the second time they’ve done this test. The first time was in 1932, when every 11-year-old in Scotland was put through an intelligence test. It’s the only time this kind of mass testing has ever been done in the UK. The results were rediscovered recently in an Edinburgh basement. If you want to know how our intelligence changes as we get older, these results are a potential goldmine.I: We brought hundreds of people back and we got them to sit the exact same test that they had sat when they were aged 11. Now, these people are now 79 or 80 years old. We gave the same instructions. We gave the same test. And we gave the same time limit.M2: It was a little stickier than I thought it would be.M3: I walked through it quite happily, quite honestly.W2: I felt I must have been very bright at 11 if I sat that exam and passed.N: There were some intriguing results. Almost everyone had a better score at 80 than they did at11. But some had gone from being just averagely intelligent to a much higher level.I: Now, that’s what really drives our research. We’re interested in: Why have those people who’ve gone (people gone) from IQ 100, at age 11, up to 110 or 120? What have they done right? What can be the recipe for successful aging? We’re finding that the person with more education, even though they had the same IQ in childhood, is doing slightly better in old age, on average. The person who had a more professional job, in old age, is doing slightly better on average than the person who had a manual job, despite the fact that they started at the same level. The people who smoked have got slightly less good mental ability than you would expect.N: What’s even more remarkable is that the kids who had higher IQ scores at 11 are the very ones still alive today. So it seems high IQ in childhood is good for survival.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsA: Ah, OK, so we need to think of the best ideas for taking tests.B: Yep.A: Er, well, how about this one? It’s a good idea to study with friends at the same time each day. B: Mm, in my opinion, this is a really good idea. You can make it a regular part of your daily life. A: You mean like having breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, studying at the same time.B: Yes. And also I think it helps when you study with friends.A: Yeah, I, I think it’s more motivating.B: And you can actually talk to someone, not just look at books. I find that if I’m only reading my notes it’s easy to lose concentration. I start thinking about other things. But when you are talking to someone, it really helps you concentrate. So, yes, I agree with this one.A: OK. Another idea is not to eat too much before the exam.B: Oh, really?A: Mm, when I eat a lot, I get sleepy.B: Oh, I see. I think it depends. Because if you d on’t eat enough, you start to feel hungry in the middle of the exam.A: Mm, that’s true.B: And then you can’t concentrate.A: Yeah, that’s true.B: So, I’m not sure about this advice, for me. As I said, I think it depends. I always try to eat a good meal before an exam. I’m so nervous that I never get sleepy.A: Hm. OK. What other ideas do you have?B: Well, there’s one thing I always do before an exam.A: What’s that?B: I go to bed early the night before.A: Right.B: I always try to sleep for eight hours the night before the exam.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: It is the third time my paper has been rejected by journals because of language problems.M: You know, there is a writing center on campus. I had never got a grade better than C for any of my term papers before they helped me out.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?Conversation 2M: You said you would choose Spanish as your second foreign language. Why did you finally choose French instead?W: My grandfather speaks fluent French and he says that French is a language that any truly cultured person must know.Q: Why does the woman choose to learn French?Conversation 3W: You seem to have no problem understanding native speakers now. How about Dr. Brown’s speech last night?M: Excellent. But it was still too fast for me to follow, especially when Dr. Brown talked about those abstract theories.Q: What did the man do last night?Conversation 4M: It seems to me that Melissa is in a bad mood today. What’s wrong with her?W:Melissa forgot to bring her identification card yesterday and she was not allowed to enter the contest. You know she had prepared for the contest for months.Q: What made Melissa unhappy?Conversation 5W: I think my time at school is wasted because it is just studying books and doing tests.M: But you also learn new ideas and new ways of thinking. And more importantly you meet people and develop your understanding of people at school.Q: What does the man think of the woman’s opinion?Long conversationScriptsM: Miranda, let’s speak about your performance in class. You’re not participating; you’re careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don’t want to be here, do you?W: I’m sorry Dr. Smith. It’s just …I’ve got lots of things to do. I’m studying Web design and I’ma first-class player on our golf team. It’s hard to see why I need to take a Spanish languageclass!M: Well, I’m sorry you feel that way, but learning another language can improve your performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when you visit your father in Mexico.W: Gosh! What do you mean, professor? Just because my father does business in Mexico I’m supposed to learn Spanish – on top of everything else I have to learn? It’s just too much! And if I don’t spend enough time on the golf course, I won’t remain a first-class player on the golf team. I still don’t see why I should learn a language that’s so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design!M: Listen Miranda, I’ve known your father since we were students at university 20 years ago –and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf or Web design. But I am giving you good advice. Please listen.W: Yes, of course, you’re like my favorite uncle.M: Your brain isn’t like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full. Instead, it’s likea muscle. Learning Spanish exercises your brain in new ways, making it stronger. It willstrengthen your critical thinking skills and creativity.W: Really?! Then I guess I can give it a try.Passage 1ScriptsI began learning Spanish when I was in high school, using a traditional academic method ofstudying verbs, sentence structures, and grammar by using textbooks and not much else. I found it very easy to learn, but was frustrated with the slow pace and repetitive nature of all my Spanishclasses. So I worked extra hard in my spare time and asked my teacher if I could skip a level bythe end of the semester.This was unsuccessful, however, because the school was not willing to test me or otherwiseprove that I could be successful in the top level after skipping a level. This made things even more frustrating, as then I was stuck in a class where I already knew the material!Then I went on to college where I then used the language extensively both in and out of theclassroom. I studied Spanish literature, culture, and linguistics and very much enjoyed the cultural and linguistic elements, but found the in-depth study of literature a very unbalanced way to study Spanish.I got a lot out of using my Spanish outside of the classroom, including a trip to Mexico with achurch group, where I found myself acting as an interpreter. It was certainly challenging, but itwas also a lot of fun.I then also volunteered to be an interpreter in the community schools and also used mySpanish to teach English to some Spanish speakers. This is probably where I learned the most!Q1: What do we know about the speaker’s Spanish learning experience in high school?Q2: What made the speaker feel frustrated while leaning Spanish in high school?Q3: What did the speaker say about her study of Spanish literature in college?Q4: Which experience benefited the speaker most in terms of her use of Spanish?Passage 2Scripts and answersHave you ever heard of homeschooling? It is a legal choice for parents in most countries toprovide their children with a learning environment as an 1) alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite 2) numerous reasons for homeschooling their children.

But the problem isthat this beautiful and charming city is slowly sinking. Ever since the 14th century engineers have tried to work out a way to stop the floods in Venice， but so far nobody has managed. Sometimes there are as many as 40 floods per year between March and September， and Venice is actually sinking at a rate of two and a half inches every decade. It’s very possible that your grandchildren，and their grandchildren will never have the chance to see this fragile city. Everyone should have the chance to enjoy the city， to walk across its famous bridges， through its ancient squares. Thereare no cars in Venice， and many people think it helps this to be one of the most romantic cities in the world. So， can it be saved?Well， they are trying. Barriers are being put in to try and stop the water getting too high. Thisis viewed as a temporary measure， although they should last 100 years， so the problem is finding apermanent solution. If you want my advice， go there while you still can， and then together we canput pressure on the government to spend the money it needs to find a permanent way to keep this beautiful and historic city for future generations. We have an opportunity now to save this city，and we must， before it’s too late.ViewingScriptsV = Voice-over; M1 = Man 1， etc.; JL = Joanna Lumley; W1 = Woman 1， etc.;EH = Eamonn Holmes; JJE = Jocelyn Jee Esien; AF = Alex Fraser;JP = John Palmer; MJ = Melanie Jones; LS = Lucy Sassoon; Vs = VoicesV: There are so many amazing places to see around the world.

It is very isolated， very far from other places. Er， we are going to travel there by plane and stay with different families and the trip is going to take three months. We want to experience the local culture， their music， food， and way of life. Soour plan is to speak to the local people about these things and to film them. We hope to find out about their traditions and to see what they think of their history. Well， um， finally， my husbandand I always wanted to go to Easter Island. I read about it when I was a child and I saw pictures of these amazing stone heads on the island. So for us this is the journey of our dreams.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: I still can’t decide whether we should have a whole package tour or a self-drive tour.W: A whole package tour means having to spend time in the confined quarters of a coach， bus or train with people you are not familiar with， but considering our budget， perhaps we have to sacrificeQ: What does the woman say about a whole package tour?Conversation 2W: I was so shocked when I saw the tiny， dirty houses where the children grew up.M: So was I. I’m afraid that they don’t have enough food， let alone go to school. Next time we shouldQ: What are the two speakers planning to do?Conversation 3M: I will say it again: India is not a safe place for a woman to travel alone.W: But if I wear the proper clothes， and learn the cultural dos and don’ts， it should be fine. Pleasedon’t be so alarmed.Q: What will the woman do?Conversation 4W: I’m going to travel with my five-year-old this summer. But I feel kind of uncertain whether things will work out.M: You know Jane? She and her husband spend every holiday traveling in a jeep with their son and dog. Probably you should go to her before you go.Q: What does the woman feel uncertain about?Conversation 5M: Many people love a good story about somebody traveling in time – either to repair the future，or to observe the past. Why are time travel stories so popular?W: I think it’s human nature to dream of what-ifs.

How was your trip to the Amazon rainforest?W: It was like a spectacular dream; I saw so many more things than I ever could have imagined. The plants are so t hick that you couldn’t even see the sun or the sky above， and there are more shades of green than I’ve seen before in my life!M: Wow， with so many plants， how did you get around?W: We rode a tour boat down the Amazon River – it connects the whole jungle， and the local people use it to travel， too. It’s amazing being somewhere so far away from technology，without any electricity for miles and miles. The local people don’t even see the world outsideof the jungle， never traveling more than 15 minutes up or down the river their whole lives! meetany of the villagers?W: Oh yes! Here’s the story: I finished a small blue bottle of wine and was about to throw it away. The tour guide told me to save it. Later， when we arrived at one of the villages， he introduced me to an old woman there who greeted our boat. I gave her the wine bottle as a gift. Shelooked at it like a great treasure， and she said that it would be an honored prize for her hut. I wasM: Emily， I suppose we really take modern life for granted.Q1: What does the woman say about the plants in the Amazon rainforest?Q2: What does the woman say about the local people?Q3: Why was the old woman in the village so excited?Q4: What has the woman learned from her traveling experience?Passage 1ScriptsI believe watching nature programs on television is not going to give us and our children areal experience of nature. On the contrary， they may distance us from nature – actual nature –evenfurther.Because real nature experiences mean contact with nature. It means being with and within nature， to experience it with all five senses.True， TV programs give us joy but they will never be able to help us form a relationship with natureaahhhh …”and “wooooow”. But， never once will we feel the pleasure of being close to nature.Worse still – the programs such as those on the Discovery Channel make nature seem so strange， and so far away， in the forests of the Amazon or in the wilds of Africa. Children may grow up without even realizing that the flowers， plants or a couple of trees in their backyard are nature and they are equally precious. The truth is –nature is so close to us. We don’t need to go anywhere far to enjoy such experiences. It is right there in our backyards. Or， in parks，gardens，forests， or national parks.All we need to do is make an effort to get closer to nature – know it， appreciate it， and explore it. Feeling the soil under our feet and the wind in our hair; listening to the sound of the fallen leaves and taking in the smell of the wet soil – all these are pure joy to the senses that we must experience.Q1: What may happen to children after watching nature programs on TV?Q2: How should children get close to nature according to the speaker?Q3: What impression might the Discovery Channel leave on children?Q4: What is the main idea of this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersI have never been able to understand people who don’t see the point in traveling. Thereason is that traveling is a waste of time and money. I’ve heard some are 1) scared totravel too far away. I can’t help but feel sorry particularly for those who 2) perceive the experience of seeing a new place as a 100 percent 3) negative one. Telling them stories about unusual encounters doesn’t 4) result in the expected curiosity but a “Why would you wanna go there!?” It makes me 5) lose faith in humanity. Experience is the best teacher and knowledge is power. The things traveling can teach you are beautiful because you learn to trust in what you see rather than what you are told.It was Mark Twain who said， “Travel is fatal to prejudice， bigotry and narrow-mindedness，”which in my mind 6) goes down as the closest to the truth about traveling. Too bad there aren’t enough people with the means to travel actually doing it. If you have the means to go abroad，youshouldyou’re back home.I think traveling is also the best thing you could do if you feel 7) depressed at home， don’t know what to do with your future， your life， your partner – anything. Once you are away， 8) preferably somewhere very new and unknown， you are forced to 9) adapt and meet people. This works especially if you travel alone. A new life and especially the new relationships you build，even if only for a short period of time， 10) reveal opportunities and views you never would have thought of and had otherwise.。

Unit 2 Journey into the unknownListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.Part 1F: I’ve spent a lot of time living in different countries so there isn’t one place I think of as home.I’ve lived in Scotland and Poland and China. I love going to new places and learning aboutnew cultures. Today, I’m asking people about travel.Part 2W1: I love travel. It’s one of my passions.M1: Well, I enjoy it a lot. I have traveled to India several times. I lived there, and I’ve lived here,and I’ve been to Istanbul once and I enjoyed that very much.W2: I’ve done quite a bit of traveling on holidays and stuff. I think it’s good, good experience. W3: You get to meet different people coming from different backgrounds, and that’s really important to get an understanding.M2: It’s always just nice to get out and experience a different culture and different lifestyle. W4: I get very excited about the thought of going to most countries, any country.W5: I love to travel to different countries.M3: Absolutely love traveling. I’ve been traveling for about two and a half years solid now.W6: I’ve been to Turkey. I’ve been to Egypt. I’ve been to Malta.M4: I work as an expedition leader and so I actually operate in different countries around the world, many places outside the United Kingdom.Part 3F: What do you like about traveling?M3: I think you mature a lot when you travel. You, er, you learn … oh, just completely different experiences to what you’re used to at home.W6: I like the airport experience. I love that.M5: I like the arrival more than the traveling.W5: To see art especially. We love to see theater in other countries.M4: You see some, some of the most beautiful scenery around the world which you wouldn’t experience in other countries.M2: I just really like getting out there and experiencing a different culture, getting far away from, you know, what we’re used to in Australia, and meeting new people.W4: The anticipation of being in a new place, of seeing very different things, er, of hearing a different language, (and) of eating different food. Everything that travel has to offer.Part 4F: What don’t you like?W6: I don’t like long flights.W3: I suppose plane journeys aren’t always the most exciting of things.W1: Flying. I don’t particularly like flying, but it’s a necessity when you live in Ireland, you know.M2: I suppose the biggest problem I have with traveling is living out of a suitcase.W4: In all honesty, I actually see the whole travel as an adventure in itself. So, er, when, when Iwas backpacking, and we all … we ran out of money, or we were in dangerous situations, Iactually quite enjoyed that.M4: You spend a lot of time outside the United Kingdom, and the disadvantage of that is, that you,you tend to miss families and friends. I miss out on normal things in life, so … I’ve beenoutside the United Kingdom for two thirds of the year. I’d say that’s the main disadvantage.W5: The hardest thing for me is that I am handicapped. And so sometimes getting around,especially very old cities, is very difficult.M5: My wife’s usually late for … getting to the airport. It wasn’t until I, I got married I actuallystarted missing flights.ListeningScriptsOne place that I think everyone should have the chance to see is Venice. But the problem isthat this beautiful and charming city is slowly sinking. Ever since the 14th century engineers havetried to work out a way to stop the floods in Venice, but so far nobody has managed. Sometimesthere are as many as 40 floods per year between March and September, and Venice is actuallysinking at a rate of two and a half inches every decade. It’s very possible that your grandchildren,and their grandchildren will never have the chance to see this fragile city. Everyone should havethe chance to enjoy the city, to walk across its famous bridges, through its ancient squares. Thereare no cars in Venice, and many people think it helps this to be one of the most romantic cities inthe world. So, can it be saved?Well, they are trying. Barriers are being put in to try and stop the water getting too high. Thisis viewed as a temporary measure, although they should last 100 years, so the problem is finding apermanent solution. If you want my advice, go there while you still can, and then together we canput pressure on the government to spend the money it needs to find a permanent way to keep thisbeautiful and historic city for future generations. We have an opportunity now to save this city,and we must, before it’s too late.ViewingScriptsV = Voice-over; M1 = Man 1, etc.; JL = Joanna Lumley; W1 = Woman 1, etc.;EH = Eamonn Holmes; JJE = Jocelyn Jee Esien; AF = Alex Fraser;JP = John Palmer; MJ = Melanie Jones; LS = Lucy Sassoon; Vs = VoicesV: There are so many amazing places to see around the world. Here are some of your favorites.Welcome to Bangkok! With over six million people, it’s big, it’s busy and you love it! It’svery good for shopping and the nightlife is great, too.M1: It’s got lots of clubs, bars, shops, food … Everything you need, really. V: There are 400 temples in Bangkok, so Bangkok is an important place for Buddhists aroundthe world, and tourists love to visit the temples, too.V: You also love the Masai Mara in Kenya. It’s a fantastic place to watch animals: zebras,elephants, antelope, hippos, and lions. You can see them all. So, why is it so special?JL: Huge open spaces, fantastic animals, just wide open freedom, warmth, friendliness, and allunderneath the great African skies.V: Now a popular, romantic city … the city of lights, Paris.W1: To me, Paris is elegant, romantic and expensive.W2: Go in the spring and enjoy the art galleries.V: And enjoy the views of the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower.V: Back to Africa now, South Africa. Yes, it’s Cape Town. And behind Cape Town is the1,000-meter-high Table Mountain, with its fantastic views.EH: Cape Town is one of my top three places on earth.JJE: Friendly people, loads of beaches, and the food is unbelievably cheap.M2: We went there um, over New Year and it was lovely. I mean, just a lovely, lovely place.EH: Great place, Cape Town.V: You love the mountains and beaches that make Cape Town so special. And these little guys –the penguins.V: This is the big moment: the number one place to see before you die. Your favorite is … theGrand Canyon! The Grand Canyon is an amazing place. You can read about the Grand Canyon and you can look at photographs and videos, but nothing can prepare you for the realthing.AF: There is so much to see that you never stop seeing something new.JP: The colors are just so … amazing.MJ: With every changing inch of the sunset, the colors in the canyon change. LS: I remember actually sitting there … and I just cried.V: But there’s only one word that everyone says when they talk about the Grand Canyon:Vs: It really is awesome … Just completely awesome … Awesome … “Awesome” is theword … It was awesome … Awesome… Awesome … “Awesome” is the only word …Truly awesome.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsConversation 1Man: Excuse me. We’re trying to get to the carnival. Is this the right bus stop? Woman: Yes, but you don’t need the bus. It’s very close.Man: Oh! Can we walk?Woman: Yes, it takes about 10 minutes from here. Just go straight on. You’ll hear the music!Man: OK. Thank you very much.Conversation 2Woman: Excuse me, can you help me? I’m looking for the Plaza Hotel. Is this the right way?Man: Um … Plaza Hotel, er, Plaza Hotel. Oh, yes, keep going, past the cinema andtake thefirst left.Woman: OK.Man: Then keep going for about 15 minutes until you reach the end of the road. And you’llsee the sign for the hotel. You can’t miss it.Woman: OK. Um, can you show me on the map?Man: Sure.Conversation 3Man 1: Excuse me, we want to get to The Grand Motel. Is it far?Woman: Um … sorry, I’ve no idea. Jim, do you know?Man 2: What?Woman: The Grand Motel?Man 2: The Grand Mote l? Yeah, it’s just over there. Er, just go to the end of this street. Go leftand go past the … um … there’s a restaurant. Go past the restaurant and it’s on the left.Man 1: On the left. So I need to go to the end of the street, turn left, go past the restaurant andit’s on the left.Man 2: Yeah, that’s it.Man 1: Thanks a lot.Group discussionScriptsOK, well, we would like to go to Easter Island. It is very isolated, very far from other places.Er, we are going to travel there by plane and stay with different families and the trip is going totake three months. We want to experience the local culture, their music, food, and way of life. Soour plan is to speak to the local people about these things and to film them. We hope to find outabout their traditions and to see what they think of their history. Well, um, finally, my husbandand I always wanted to go to Easter Island. I read about it when I was a child and I saw pictures ofthese amazing stone heads on the island. So for us this is the journey of our dreams. Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: I still can’t decide whether we should have a whole package tour or a self-drive tour.W: A whole package tour means having to spend time in the confined quarters of a coach, bus ortrain with people you are not familiar with, but considering our budget, perhaps we have tosacrifice comfort and privacy.Q: What does the woman say about a whole package tour?Conversation 2W: I was so shocked when I saw the tiny, dirty houses where the children grew up. M: So was I. I’m afraid that they don’t have enough food, let alone go to school. Next time weshould have our daughter come with us. She always takes things for granted.Q: What are the two speakers planning to do?Conversation 3M: I will say it again: India is not a safe place for a woman to travel alone. W: But if I wear the proper clothes, and learn the cultural dos and don’ts, it should be fine. Pleasedon’t be so alarmed.Q: What will the woman do?Conversation 4W: I’m going to travel with my five-year-old this summer. But I feel kind of uncertain whetherthings will work out.M: You know Jane? She and her husband spend every holiday traveling in a jeep with their sonand dog. Probably you should go to her before you go.Q: What does the woman feel uncertain about?Conversation 5M: Many people love a good story about somebody traveling in time –either to repair the future,or to observe the past. Why are time travel stories so popular?W: I think it’s human nature to dream of what-ifs. What if I could see an alien? Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Long conversationScriptsM: It’s good to have you back at work Emily. How was your trip t o the Amazon rainforest?W: It was like a spectacular dream; I saw so many more things than I ever could have imagined.The plants are so thick that you couldn’t even see the sun or the sky above, and there are moreshades of green than I’ve seen before in my life!M: Wow, with so many plants, how did you get around?W: We rode a tour boat down the Amazon River – it connects the whole jungle, and the localpeople use it to travel, too. It’s amazing being somewhere so far away from technology,without any electricity for miles and miles. The local people don’t even see the world outsideof the jungle, never traveling more than 15 minutes up or down the river their whole lives!M: What an entirely different lifestyle! It must be completely different there. Did you get to meetany of the villagers?W: Oh yes! Here’s the story: I finished a small blue bottle of wine and was about to throw it away.The tour guide told me to save it. Later, when we arrived at one of the villages, he introducedme to an old woman there who greeted our boat. I gave her the wine bottle as a gift. Shelooked at it like a great treasure, and she said that it would be an honored prize for her hut. Iwas shocked that something so small and common for me – could mean so much!M: Emily, I suppose we really take modern life for granted.Q1: What does the woman say about the plants in the Amazon rainforest?Q2: What does the woman say about the local people?Q3: Why was the old woman in the village so excited?Q4: What has the woman learned from her traveling experience?Passage 1ScriptsI believe watching nature programs on television is not going to give us and our children areal experience of nature. On the contrary, they may distance us from nature –actual nature – evenfurther.Because real nature experiences mean contact with nature. It means being with and withinnature, to experience it with all five senses.True, TV programs give us joy but they will never be able to help us form a relationship withnature. We watch our small screens come alive with the vivid colors and we all let out “aahhhh …”and “wooooow”. But, never once will we feel the pleasure of being close to nature. Worse still –the programs such as those on the Discovery Channel make nature seem sostrange, and so far away, in the forests of the Amazon or in the wilds of Africa. Children maygrow up without even realizing that the flowers, plants or a couple of trees in their backyard arenature and they are equally precious. The truth is – nature is so close to us. We don’t need to goanywhere far to enjoy such experiences. It is right there in our backyards. Or, in parks, gardens,forests, or national parks.All we need to do is make an effort to get closer to nature – know it, appreciate it, andexplore it. Feeling the soil under our feet and the wind in our hair; listening to the sound of thefallen leaves and taking in the smell of the wet soil – all these are pure joy to the senses that wemust experience.Q1: What may happen to children after watching nature programs on TV?Q2: How should children get close to nature according to the speaker?Q3: What impression might the Discovery Channel leave on children?Q4: What is the main idea of this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersI have never been able to understand people who don’t see the point in traveling.
