Interviewer: WE spoke to some girls to find out their opinions about sport.

Speaker 1: I play tennis quite often, and it's a great form of exercise. It keeps me healthy. It's imporzam to stay in shape and a good game of tennis really makes your body work. Everyone needs to find a way to get some exercise andfor me. it's tennis.

Speaker 2: I'm not really very interested in most sport, but there is one 1 like — motor racing. Some people think it's boring to just watch cars going round and round, but I love it. It's really exciting, and it takes a lot of skill. I'd like to try it, but I think I'd be a bit frightened because they go •very fast.

Speaker 3: WE 've tried a few different sports at school, and 1 really like playing volleyball. It's a great feeling when you know you've played better than the other team. You have to be quite fit do it well. I'd like to play again, but none of nyfriends are interested I think I need to find a ream in my local area.

Speaker 4: I love going to football and basketball matches. 1 try to go every weekend, with my fiends. What I like about those sports is that the players have to work together to be successful. You can be a fantastic player. but without the others, you're nothing.

Speaker 5: I like sport, buz I don't really take it seriously. Wzhnthg and losing aren't very Important to me, but spending time with my friends is. We get together every Saturday and play a different sport —football or baseball, usually. It's a lot offun.

Carol:

No, I'm afraid you have to do a course from start to finish. You can It say, for example, that you wan: to dc just the first three classes Of the pottery course and then stop. What we do say, however, is that you can go along to the first class of the course, see if you like it, and then decide whether you want to continue with the rest of the course.

I see. Now, as 1 said, I've been inzerested in doing a pottery class for ages, but never actually done anything like that before. I'm a bit worried that everyone else is going to bc much better than me.

Task 3 (3—4 minutes)

You and the student are discussmg which evening course to go on at a local college. "These are your ideas about each option:

 

 

 

basic car maintenance

-  [Ear's the point? Neither Of have cars!

-  usually much belT£r to go a tratneå mechanic at a garage if your car'S got a problem.

-  I'm no good at practical things like that

I suppose toe Will probably have cars In (he tü!are, and we'll need 10 know how to keep thcm in good condition. We 'l/ save lots Of money In the future if can repair our cars ourselves, would certainly be a 'Very differeni kind of course anythmg wc 've done at school.

cookery

- I'm hopeless the kitchen. All the Other would laugh at me! ] expect you hawe 70 Bay your own ingredients. It mzght be expensive.

Our families would expect us to cook at home all the ame we're doing a cookery course!

-  Neither of us are very good al cooking at the moment. d learn a lot!

-  could try whal learnt on the course at home. Being able to cook well is one Of the mos: amporrant skills there is.

Mandarin Chinese for beginners

-                    Where do they speak Chinese apart from in China?

We'd newer get the opportunzty to use

-                    I'z;e heard it'S a tery difficult language to learn. - I bet we'd have to do a lot Of homework.

I've always wanted 10 go to China. I'd feel a more comfortable going There if I could speak the language.

- It would be fascinating to learn a language thal '5 so different to Russian and English.

- There's a 101 ofpeopl£ in China. Maybe in the future it'll become the internanonal language. We'll be ready!

photography

- These days, with chg-ital cameras, you don '7 need to learn anything take good photos, do you?

- It might be to do a course, like cookery or Car maintenance, more useful.

- I've got a camera, but I hardly ever use it. I'm just not wery interested in photography

We 'z)e both gol cameras, Maybe they could show us how to take really good pictures.

-  There Wouldn't be any written homeuork, I'd imagine.

-  They'll probably have an exhibition Of photos ai the end Of the course. That would be interesnng- Wc could Invite our friends.

local history

- I've heard this is a very popular course. There m:ght be so many people in the class that it's a bil uncomfortable.

- Although it's inzeresting, we unn'z be able to use what we learn tn our everyday lives,

- We may just end up stud-yang really ordinary things.

-  I don knou anything about the history of the local area. It would be great to find out more about it,

-  We probably go on lots of mps to local landmarks. - I've always been keen on history, but history about the place you actually live in is probably even more anteresnng.

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed,

When discussing each option, first use the Information that is contrary to what the student says. You may choose to make use of some ideas

Do not speak first all the time, but ask the student what he/she thinks about the options.

Invite the student to come up with his/her suggestions, especially if he/she readily agrees with the things you say.

If the student says all the time, "What do you think about it?" without expressing his/her own opinion, say, "Sorry, I don't know." or "I'm not sure. How do you feel about it?"

Speaker 1: Up until a few years ago, I never wore dresses and skirts. I hated them, and felt much more comfortable in trousers usually jeans, to be honest. Now, though — I suppose it's since I started my new job — I actually wear skirts quite often and I must say 1 really like them! I think they suit me, and they're a lot cooler than trousers in the summer!

Speaker 2: Yeah, I do follow fashion a bit and I'd never wear something that 1 thought was really out offashion. I mean, if you do that, you just end up looking stupid, and I certainly wam people to think I'm well dressed Other people judge you by what you wear, don't they, so I try to keep up wzth the latest changes.

Speaker 3: IfI knou I'm going to be at home all day, I'll just put on an old pair ofjeans and a T-shirt, but I'd never wear something like that to work — or if I was going out in the evening. You've got to think what's suitable for what you 're going to do, haven*t you? You wouldn wear a swimming costume to a wedding!

Speaker 4: Well, I hate shopping for clothes — I can 't stand it — so ,YZOSt of my clothes are a feu years old, at least! When I get up, Ijust put on the first thing I find that's clean. I don't really think abouz hou fashionable it is or what iz looks like on me. I'm lust not that interested in my appearance, really.

Speaker 5: I¥'7zat you wear can really affect how you feel about yourself, so 1 am a careful, yes. For example, ifyou've got an important job interview or something like that, you've got to uear something that's smari obviously, but more importantly, you've got to wear something you feel good in. You don't want to be sitting there thinking: 'This jacket doesn't fit me properly.'

Stayzng in the same place for two weeks might be really boring.

Speaker 1 : I make model aeroplanes. I've been doing it for about five years now, and I think I'm beginning to understand it! You have to make a lot of very bad models before you make a good one. You learn from your mistakes, though, and practice makes perfect, as they say. It's important not to give up, but just keep on tryzng until you get it right.

Speaker 2: There's nothing like the feeling you get when you 've got a fish on the end ofyour line. 1 first went fishtng with my Uncle Derek when I was very young. I loved it from the start. It's good to learn a new skillfrom someone who knous you so well because you don't mind making mistakes. He taught me the basics, but I was soon gang out to the river on "-ty own or with my friends.

Speaker 3: Karate, That's my hobby. It looks like il could be dangerous, but it's not really. The biggest risk is hurting yourself because you're nor fir enough to do it. It's not a good idea to do karate ifyou aren't already in good shape. Get some exercise and then try karate. That's what I tell people. Once you're ready to try it, though, it can be a really enjoyable hobby.

Speaker 5: Stamp collecting is great! It's a like     A7-13 the world. I've got stamps from over a hundred different M: 2 A8: l A": 3 AIO: 2 countries, and some Of them are actually quite valuable. The best A12: 2 .A13: 1 thing when you buy a stamp that you know is worth a lot more

Speaker 4: My hobby is walking in the countryside. There are lots of walks to go on in this area, and you always find someone to chat to. People are usually very friendly when they are out walking, and we talk about the weather, or the beautiful views. It's tnreresting to hear aboar all the places they've been walking in. money than they're askingfor it. Sometimes, I sell Stamps for a

bit more than I paid for them. That way, I have little extra money to spend on more stamps.

Tourist:

Excuse me. I wonder ifyou could help me. 1 seem to be a little lost.

Yes, of course. Where are you trying to get to?

Tourist:

Well, I was going to go to the museum to see the Picasso exhibit10-n, but I think it's closed now, so I thought Iu do a bit of shopping. My guide book says that the Bradman Shopping Centre is somewhere round here.

Wbman.

The Bradman Centre? No, that's not around here, Let me see your book. Ah, I see. No, the book's right, but you 'w made a mistake. The Bradman Centre is in an area called Felton. This is Felton HüL

Tourist:

And they're not the same?

Woman:

No, they're not. You'll have to either take a taxi or get a bus, I'm afraid.

Tourist:

Right. Which would you recommend?

Wbman:

Well, the taxi would probably be quicker, and there's a taxi rank just round the corner, but the bus drops you right outside the shopping centre, and it's a lot cheaper, so 1 a do that if I were you.

Tourist:

Where do catch it?

Woman:

The best place from here is outside the church, I think. You need to go down this road and turn left at those traffic lights there. Go about 200 metres

Tapescript — Al —6

 

and you 'Il see a park on your right. Turn left again and you'll see the church — St Michael's. You can't miss i:. The bus stop is right outside.

Tourist:

Right. And what do I catch?

Woman.

Well, the number 21 brings you right back here. Any other bus from that stop goes to the Bradrnan Centre.

Tourist:

And where do I get a ticket from?

Woman:

Well, ifyou're going to travel you should get a Speedmaster card. That lasts a week and you can travel on any bus in the area. You get those from the newsagent's. There's one on the way to the park. If it's just one or two journeys, then you can always buy a ticket from the driver. It's a little more expensive that way, of course.

Töurist:

Thanks. You've been very helpful.

Woman

Don't mention it. I hope you find it.

Situation 1

Woman: There have been quite a few burglaries around here: and some of the residents are quite concerned. They say that it's getting more dangerous, but the police seem to behe•ue Thai it's just a small group ofyoung men causing all the problems. Of course, some people are very angry, bur I'm sure that things'!! get better once the police find the people responsible.

Situation 2

"6rnan.•You've heard other programmes about football, and seen the matches on zelevision, bur it's tame for something neu. This Friday on Sportchaz Radio, we're bringing you the stories you never hear — the spectators' stories. What's it like to be in the stadiums around the country, following your team an all weathers, win or lose? Do they agree with the experts or do they have their own views? mne in on Friday az 8 pm on Sportchat Radio.

Situation 3

Man: We had a great time. Well, I say 'great'. We actually spent a lot of lime in the hotel, which wasn't so good. 1 mean, they looked after us very well, and it was a very luxurious place. It's just that we wanted to get to the beaches and the rain wouldn't let us. It's a shame when you've spent so much money, but I don't suppose there 2s much you can do about it.

Situation 4

Wbman.• I think you've just been working zoo hard Stress can often affect us physically, especially If we don 't have time to eat properly. IT's easy to think the solution is taking rime off, but then you get back to your desk and face the same problems. The main thing is, when you're not at your desk, try to go for walks, or maybe even take up an outdoor sport. I'm sure you'll see a difference.

Situation 5

Woman: The Eurovision Song Contest was on TV last mght, and it does make me laugh! 1 mean, the music is pretty ordinary, and you don't see many stars in it these days. The only thing that keeps me entertained is the way that you just knou that some countries are going to gave other countries lots of potnz,s. It's the same every year.

Situation 6

Man: This match really has reached an exciting point. You can feel the excitement in the spectators. They knou this is critical. The umpire has had to make some tough decisions, and the players haven't always responded in a respectful, professional way, so let's hope that these last few games are played in the right spirit.

Situation 7

Man: It's really not good enough. I've already brought the camera back to be replaced once and now this one's gone wrong, too! And no, the money's no good to me. I took some pictures on holiday that I wanted to keep, and now they're lost forever. 1 think you'd better find the person in charge so that I can complain.

Speaker 1 : I've been doing the same job for a couple of-years now. It's not very difficult. Mostly, I answer the phone and take messages. I also have 10 arrange meetings. I don't mind spending

all day in the office, especially when it's raining! No, I think the only problem is that my salary hasn't gone up for a year. A little more money and il would be the perfect job for me, really

Speaker 2: You get used to living out of a suitcase in this job. I can 'l tell you how much time I've wasted in hotels. Most of whar I do is meet people from other companies and try to get them to buy my company's products. To be honest, I think I'd like to do the same job, but in an office. It would be nice to just go home on rime at the end of the day. Maybe I'll find something like that soon, but for now I have to put up with it. The money's good, and it's nice to see different places.

Speaker 3: I run my own business — a small j70uer shop. You wouldn't believe hou much running around there is! I used to do something totally different; but I was bored. At least now I'm never bored! I sometimes wish I had a little more time to myself ro relax and see my friends, but the business always has to come first. Maybe one day I'll be able to pay someone to run the shop, but for now, there 's just me.

Speaker 4: I'm a reporter for a local neuspaper. It's what I've always wanted to do, you know, go out and meet people, find out their stories. We have a wonderful little town here and got to know a lot of the residents over the years. People have to rust you, and I think that takes a lot'of work. People knou that I'll always tell the truth, though, so I don't usually have any problems.

Speaker 5. I spend a 101 of time on a computer, destgning ïÚebsùe5. Il - the pay's good and the office isn't far fronz where I live - but I'm Thinking of making a few changes. I'd like go work from home, really, and with this kind ofjob there's no reason why you can 't. I lust don't like the office atmosphere. 1 lind the people quite boring to tell you the truth. I don't really have anyrhtng in common with any of them and we don't really on. Wtrk:ng from home would mean that I wouldn't have to listen to any more gossip!

Okay. Now, Mrs Cook, just start at the beganning and tell me what you saw.

Witness:

Right. WII, I'd just turned the TV off. I'd been watching my favourite game show, and that starts at 4 0'clock, and it had just finished, so I was getting up to make myself a cup of tea.

lblicernan:

So you were in the living room?

Witness:

That's right. I was just by the window. Suddenly, J heard a crash and looked up and I realised there was a young man breaking into a car across the street.

Policeman:

Did you call the police immediately?

Witness:

Well, no, The first thing I did was pick up my mobile phone and rake a photograph. I thought it might be useful evidence later. Then J picked up the other phone and dialled 999.

Policeman•

Did you go outside at all?

Witness:

Oh, dear me no! LVhar was I going to do? fry to stop him from escaping? No, I knew that the best thing      to watch carefully and try to remember every detail of what was happening.

Policeman

So describe the young man to me.

Witness :

I would say he was mid-twenties, about one metre eighty. He reminded me a lot of one of neighbours, Simon, except that he was a little bit thinner.

(bliceman:

So, mid-twenties, quite tall, thin. Anything else?

Witness:

Yes. He was wearing a black rop and jeans. He had a football scarf around his neck and he had pulled it up over his face, so I didn't see that very dearly. 1 think he had thick black hair, but most of it was hidden under a baseball cap, so I can't be sure.

(bliceman.

And then he ran Off, did he?

Witness,

That's nght. He was therefor about five mznutes. He took the stereo out of the car and a leather briefcase.

Policeman:

And whal time did the police officers turn up?

Witness:

I waited another ten minutes and then I saw them at the end of the street. It must have been about fifteen mmutes after I heard the crash

Situation 1

Man: Like everyone else, I've got a mobile, and I really don 't know how anyone lives without one. It can be really annoying when you leave home and forget to take your mobile with you. I never use mine when I'm driving, though. There have been too many cases where people haven 't been concentrating on the road and have been chatttng and the next thing you know, bang. You really should stop to make a call.

Situation 2

Man: It's called Digital Music and it comes out once a month. I never miss an issue. I like writing my own music on my computer, and I even make my            CDs to give away to friends. WII, Digital Music is all about that. They have great articles by experts on hou to get the most out ofyour programs. I think that's why I

get it, because I never read any of the interviews with musicians.

Situation 3 llbman.• I went to Mary and Paul's wedding last month. Oh, what a disaster! WII, the wedding itself was lovely. Mary was so beautiful in her dress and people had come from all over the country to be there. Anyway, some of us were invited to a meal after the wedding. all got into our cars and drove to the restaurant, and we had been there for twenty minutes when we realised that Paul's parents didn't know the way. It took them two hours to find us. They weren't happy, I can tell you.

Situation 4

Girl: I've been having lessons for a few months now, and my test is in another month. I was quite nervous at first, but you soon get used to it. My dtfficulty is the road signs. There are so many to remember, and they just get mixed up in my mind. I've got pictures of them on my bedroom wall to help me remember. Ijust hope I get it right on the day.

Situation 5

Man: Crack Up is the great new game that everyone 's playing! Simply take one of the Crack Up cards and do what it tells you, Ifyou can get everyone laughing at your hilarious                 you could be Crack Up champion! The question is, can you do it without laughing yourself? Crack Up is for everyone, from eight to eighty! Play Crack Up today.

Situation 6

Wornan: I've got one brother, Terry, who's two years older than me. He went to live in America about ten years ago. I've been out to see him a couple of rimes, and we try to speak on the phone about once a month. It would be nice if he could come here and see how I live, but he always seems to be working. We were really close as children, but then you each have co live your oun life.

Speaker 1: I always 100k forward to going to school, and I think I am quite a good student, but several times a week we have what are called 'double periods' and they're awful! Can you imagine? I mean, fifty minutes of history ts fine, but when it's a hundred minutes it just seems to go on forever! Double chemistry's the worst. It's almost two hours of absolute boredom!

Speaker 2: Wk have seven or eight different lessons a day and that's okay — unless we've got a test, of course — but the real problem is that every teacher gives us things to do before the next lesson. I spend hours each evening preparing for the next day. It would be okay if it was just for one or two lessons — that wouldn 't take too long — but it's all of them!

Speaker 3: There aren't any subjects that I don't like, but my favourite lesson has to be maths. I just really lcn•e solving problems and it all seems really easy to me. I don't knou why people have such difficulty with it. Actually, I think I'd like to teach maths when I'm older. I'm sure J could explain it quite well. I'd set lots of tests and give loads of homework, though!

Speaker 4: My friends think I'm really strange, but I always look forward to wken we have exams and tests. I'd much rather spend the evening at home revising.for an exam than, say, having to write an essay or do lots of exercises. Maybe it's because I've got a good memory, but I think exams are a really good way to show what you 've learnt.

Speaker 5: I've only been at this school for a couple oj weeks, but I feel quite comfortable already. It's really similar to my old school, you know — lessons are the same length, we get about the same amount of homework each night — and the teachers seem really nice. I've made a couple offriends already and I'm sure

I'll make more as the year goes on.

Now thts is our first rehearsal this evenmg, and I hope by now you've all been gwen a script and know which parts you 're playing, but before we have a first read-through of the whole play, wondered if any Ofyou have any questions. Yes, Brian.

Actor: Thanks, ÿülie. Yes, have you decided yet on the rehearsal schedule, because I knou several of us will have problems at the weekend and

Director: Yes, don 't worry. I know in Ike last production had rehear.als eoery weekend, but this rime we're not gomg have rehearsals on Saturdays and Sundays at all, except for the final weekend before the show. I think that's Saturday the 2tY and Sundgy the 210 of April, isn't It? Yes, IS, so

Actor:

Are you going to need the whole cast for every rehearsal, or will it depend Who '5 in which scene?

Direc tor

Yes, good question. Can we say this? I expect everyone to be here for the start of every rehearsal unless I let you know during the week and rell you you're not needed. Okay? so, ifyou don't get u call or an e-mail from me, please do presume that I need you.

Actor:

And how long do you expect rehearsals to go on for? After ten o'clock?

Director:

I certainly hope nor, but, if absolutely necessary, yes. I think we should say ten thirty at the latest, though. 1 know we all harve to get up very early for work.

Actor

Something else, Julie, as well. Costumes. see we don 't have a costume designer for this production.

Director.

No, we don't. It's a bit unfortunate, I know, but there's nothing we can do about it and we'll just have to make the best of a bad situation. What it does mean, though, is that everyone is going to be responsible for making or buying their own costume. But before you make or buy anything, do please let me know what you have tn mind.

Actor:

Is there a budget for costumes? We're not going to be spending our   money, are we?

Director:

WII, yeti can spend your own money on buying a costume ifyou like, but 1 don't expect you to. There is a small budget, but when I say small, it's small! It's £18 only per costume. And don't try and persuade me to increase it, because I can't!

Actor:

If someone's going to make their own costume, though, and so it's not going to cost anything, maybe we could put rhe money they've saved towards another costume that someone else wants to buy that's more expensive.

Director:

Hmmm . I hadn't thought of that, actually. Well, I suppose so, bur even if someone's making their own costume they might need to buy mater:al and things like that, so they can use the budget for that. Let's just see what happens, shall we?

make sure you keep that weekend free. Otherwise, rehearsals will be here every Thursday and Friday evening at 7.30 pm.

Speaker 1 : My parents both worked when I was young, so they were ouz Of the house quite a lot. I used to be looked after by my grandma and granddad. They would take me out to the park and we had a lot offun, and then my parents would pick me up when they finished work. I was a very happy child, and I Siill have a great relationship With them today.

Speaker 2: I had to work really hard to make friends because we had to move house quite often. Dad was in the army, and they would send him to another job and wed all have to him. It's not easy suddenly to arrive in a neu place when you're eight, or eleven, or thirteen, but toe managed. My sister was quite shy and I think it was harder for her.

Speaker 3: You wouldn't think it to look at me now, but I was a real city kid. 1 love the farm, and my own children love it too, but it's nothing like my life back then. lived in a block offlats near a motorway. I never dreamed that one day I'd be the sort of person who likes looking after animals. I haven't been back and I wonder sometimes whether il's changed. I knou I have.

Speaker 4: Until was about eighteen, we lived next door to a garage and it was really noisy and smelly. There were always lots of cars around, and I used to Wish that we laved m the countryside because I hated the smell of and petrol. It was close to Mum '5 work, though, so zee couldn really move. I was glad When ) finally went away to university and found somewhere else to live.

Speaker 5: There's a supermarket there now, but when was little there were a few houses and a small park there. We used to play in the park and tee had really nice neighbours. They knocked the houses down about ten years ago. It's strange to think that those places only exist in my memory now. I sometimes think about those days when I visit that supermarket.

Half an hour later, I'm srill wailing until finally I have to go and get some myself. You come back half an hour after that and put the milk down on the table without saytng a word. You should have sazd iz was going to take you so long. That way, I could have gone myself in the first place! I'm very disappointed with you, young man.

Situation 2

Man: I went to see that new film with Vivian McDougal in it yesterday. Like most films these days, the action scenes were every

loud, but Ijust feel like I've seen one too many of them. It seems like just another bank robbery movie until you get to the last five minutes, and I suppose the ticket's worth it for that alone. I won '1 give it away, but the characters aren't what they seem. You should go and see it ifyou've nothing berter to do.

Situation 3

Girl: I saw it in a magazine and it looked gorgeous! I bet you've had loads ofpeople asking for it. I've had enough of it being on my shoulders all the time and I think it's time for a complete change. Don't go over the top, though — I don't think my parents would let me get away with a pink fringe, for example. Just make sure it's all the same length, quite short, and put blonde bits im There's the magazine I saw it in. Let me show you.

Situation 4

Man: It was last week. I toas driving along and suddenly the car started making a funny noise, you know, like a 'clunk, clunk' kind of noise. Well, I'm afraid I'm hopeless when it comes to these things so I took it to a garage. I was worried it might be a big thing, and then he said it was gozng to cost over five hundred pounds! I had no way of knowing whether that was right or not, so Ijust told him to do it. I'm so useless! Maybe doing a course in mechanics might help save me some money!

Situation 5

Girl: It's the way she just walked into my room without knocking that annoyed me. She wanted borrow some money TO go our with her friends. So I'm doing my homework when I suddenly hear a voice behind me saying: 'Gor any money?' Well, I was furious because it's not the first time she's come in withoul permission. I started shouting at her and threw her out. In fact, I did have some cash, and she could •have borrowed it, even though I don't understand why she wants to go out with that group of people. She just has learn to knock next time.

You and the student are discussing what sport to see at the Olympic Games. These are your main ideas about each option:

 

 

 

football match

- The best football players don't appear at the Olympics.

- We can see a football match any rime we like.

- "lhe football stadiums are usually far away from the main Olympic stadium.

- Football isn't such a popular sport ar the Olympics, so it should be easy to get tickets.

- It's a good opportunity to see national football teams from countries we wouldn't normally see.

tennis match

-  It takes a long rime for a complete match to finish.

-  The tickets for the tennis are quite expensive.

-  It '5 very popular, so it'll probably be difficult to get tickets.

-You can usually see more than one match on the same day with the same ticket.

- I prefer individual sports like tennis to team sports. It seems closer to the Olympic spirit.

marathon

- You have to stand for a long ttme watching the runners come past.

- It's outdoors and it might be cold or ir might raim - It takes hours for them to finish the race.

- There's usually a great atmosphere in the stadium at the end of the race.

- I really admire the people who can run so far and it's fun to watch them.

swimming race

- It's hard to see who's winning When you watch a race in the pool.

- All the races are indoors, and it seems a shame not 10 spend such a nice day outdoors.

- The atmosphere in the swimming stadium can be damp and J don't like the smell of chlorine.

-You get see lots of races, one after the other.

- Each race only lasts a short time, so we can easily leave if we get bored

- The Olympic swimming facilities are the best in the world, and we might see a uorld record!

judo match

-  I don't understand the rules ofjudo.

It looks like quite a violent sport

-  It seems a shame to waste our time on such a minor sport when we might see real stars in other sports.

- It would be interesting to learn about a sport that isn't so popular.

- We might find it interesting and decide to take up a martial art.

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed.

When discussing each option, first use the Information that is contrary to what the student says. You may choose to make use of some ideas only.

Speaker 1: Yes, I've basically decided whal I want 10 do •iohet'l I grow up. I really want to be a leacher ill a primary school. It musl be so satisfytng teaching young kids to read and write and seeing them start to learn about maths and science. I know It's hard work, and the pay'S not very good, but there are more important things than money, aren't there?

Speaker 2: I'd really like a job where I'm going on busmess traps all the time. You knew, gotng to other countries and places I haven't been to before and staying in really nice hotels. It sounds really exciting, doesn 't it? Lots ofpeople have jobs like that these days — and some of them earn quite a lot of money too — so ] think it's possible that I'll be able r.o get a job like that when I'm older.

Speaker 3: Well, my uncle's a travel agent. He's goz a shop in the High Street and I often help ham out at weekends. I'm learning a lot about the business — it's really interesting — and I think it's something I'd like to do too when I'm older. I know my uncle will be pleased if I follow in his footsteps, and I can't actually imagine myself dQing anything else, to be honest.

Speaker 4: I'd hate to have a job where you go to an office and sit at a desk all day In fact, I don't really want to have a job at all! I really enjoy Studying — I know it sounds Strange — so when I leave school, I'm going to go to university to do a degree. If I do well, and I hope 1 will, then I'll stay on after my degree to do research. Who knows? I may be a professor one day!

Speaker 5: Well, I know it's a bit a dream, but I want to be a rock star in a really popular rock band! Everywhere I go people'll rush up to me and ask for my autograph, and 1?11 be 071 TV and in the newspapers all the time. It sounds really cool, doesn't it? The problem is, I'm not sure I've got any talent. Maybe that doesn 't matter, though!

you? We just need something that's got your ñãme and address on really.

Librarian:

That?s perfect. So, once you've filled the form, I'll check the details on the bank statement, and then I'll give you a library card. That'll allow you to take books out Of the library.

Woman

Are there any rules I need to know about?

Librarian•

There are a few, yes. You're only allowed to have three books out at any one time.

I see. And how long can I keep books out for?

Librarian:

You Can have each book for two weeks. After that, you have to pay a small amount. It's fifty pence per week.

U6man

Thar sounds reasonable, I suppose. And, do you have a music section? In the library I used rc go to they had lots of CDs which you could take out.

Librarian.

Yes, it's the same thing here. The music section is on the third floor. And, once again, you can only have three CDs at any one time, and can only have them for three weeks.

Woman:

Sorry, I didn't quite understand that. Can I have three CDs and three books, or is it three of everything in total?

Librarian:

Yes, sorry. I didn't make that very clear, did I? It's three things in total, So that might be two books and a CD, or two CDs and one book. Does that make sense?

man : Yes. They had exactly the same policy at my last library, too. That's fine, So, I'll just fill out the form now, shall I?

Interviewer. And now as part of our regular Monday morning look at some of the things people in rhe local community have been doing recently, we're joined by Alan Dawson. Alan, hi, Thanks for coming in. Alan: No problem.

Interviewer. Now, Alan, we're going to be seeing you soon in a major Hollywood movie, IS that right?

Alan,                 Well, yes and no, Gloria. I'm pretty sure I be in the film, yes. But I don't know Whether you'll notice me. I'm not one of the stars, you see. I was an extra.

Interviewer. Okay. Let's start at the beginning. What's the movie?

Alan                It's called Battle of the Chants and it stars 'eff

Piper and Celia McCullum.

interviewer: And some Of the scenes were she! in the local area, were they?

Alan:                 Well, put i: like this, Most         was done in

Hollywood, but I think people who live round here

will be able to spot a few local landmarks in the battle scenes!

Interviewer: Right! So how did you get involved in the movie?

Alan: About six months ago, I saw an advert in the local paper asking for extras. 1hey said acting experience wasn't important, you didn't have to be particularly good-looking, you didn 't have to have any skills really —just a desire zo be in the background of a film.

Interviewer: And you applied?

Alan: Yes, I thought it sounded really interesting, You know, apart from a couple of school plays when I was a kid, I've never done any acting and it's not often a chance like this comes up, so Ijumped at it. Interviewer: And what happened after you applied?

Alan: For about three months, nothing. Then, one day, I got a phone call asking me if I was still interested. I said I was, so they asked me to come to an interview the following week,

Interviewer. That interview — was that some kind of audition?

Alan:                 Not really. I didn 't have to do any acting or anything like that and as soon as 1 turned up, it

became clear that I could be in the film if I wanted to be. I think the real point of it was to take ny measurements so they could make a costume for me!

Interviewer: And how long after that did you have to actually act in the film?

Alan:                 About two weeks later. I'm not sure Id call it real acting, though and I didn't have any lines to learn. I'm in six or seven crowd scenes, just standing around really. And in one scene with a few other extras we had to run away from one of the giants.

Interviewer: Did you enjoy it?

Alan:                Oh, it        great fun!

Interviewer. And have you seen the finished film yet?

Alan:                 No, it hasn't been released yet. But as soon as it comes out at the cinema, I'll be going.

Interviewer: I'll make sure I see it too. I'll be looking out for you!

Alan:                  I hope you spot me!

- We can race each other!

- I've always wanted to go canoeing. I Imagine you can go really fast ifyou do it properly!

- The weather's really good, so it won't matter if we get a bit Wet.

rock climbing

-  I'm afraid of heights, and I think you are too, aren't you?

-  It sounds like very hard work!

-  It's going to be quite hot oil Sunday. Maybe we should do something on the lake, like sailing.

-  Excellent! I bez I'm better at than you! J 'Il help you if you find it difficult, though

-  I think up'll feel really satisfied when rue get to the top.

-  I can uear my new boots. They'd be perfect for rock climbing.

mountain biking

- Some people in the group might be much better than us and we won't be able to keep up.

- cycle round the neighbourhood at home all the time. It might be more fun to do something completely new.

-             Mountain biking's totally different to cycling on a road I'd love to try it!

-             I've seen it on TV It looks really good fun. Yu get to go really fast!

-             gel lots of exerczse as well as have a great time.

horse riding

-  I think I'm allergic to horses.

-  Tm not very keen on animals, to be honest.

-  Horses can go really fast. I'd be a bit scared"

-  I've always wanted to learn how to ride a horse.

-  Our friends would be so jealous!

-  It's probably not too tiring, is it?

sailing

- It'll take us ages to learn how to sail properly. You can't learn in one day.

- Knowing my luck, I'll fall in and get really wet!

- You just sit there and dc nothing. Let's do something a bit more active!

-  I imagine it's really relaxing sailing a small boar a

-  It's the perfect weather for it.

-  If we learn hou to sail, we can go sailing on holiday next summer, too.

Speaker 1: I get on very well with my parents. Whenever I have problems with my friends or with my schoolwork, I know they're always there to listen and give advice. They've taught me a lot. They've got a lot of experience and they're always happy to share their knowledge with me.

Speaker 2: My mum and dad want me to go into the family business. We've got a restaurant and they've always thought I'd beconze a chef. They don't like the fact that I actually want to become a policeman. Wé've had arguments about it, but they have to realise that it's my life and I have to make my own decisions.

Speaker 3: Mum and Dad are okqy, but they seem to think I'm san a kid When Igo out With friends, I ahxzys ha. to be back home by ten o'clock and they call me on mobüe to check uhere I on. I hate to ask permissionfor almost eærything I do. It doesrù seem fair sometimes. Speaker 4: Wbrk is very important to my parents and they both have very good careers. The thing is that when I've got problems, they're usually too busy to sit down and talk about it. It seems like every weekend one of them is off on a business trip somewhere, and I miss them. I wish we could be together a bit more. really.

Speaker 5: My parents never had the chance of an education, and I think that's why they want me to do well at school. That's fine, but I wish they would relax a bit. They always want to know what grades I get each day, and find it quite stressful. I can't get As all the time, but I don't think they understand that.

Situation 1

W6man: More and more women are playing football these day5, and at my club there are lots of garls who want to get involved. The biggest problem is that newspapers and the TVjust don't pay us any attention. I'm sure there's an audience out therefor a successful team like ours, but they newer get to see us.

Situation 2

Woman: Tired Of camping Or staying in a caravan because a hotel is just too expensive? Now you too can envy comfort and service. Poundmaster Hotel is a new concept in hotels. Within easy walking distance of some of the best restaurants in town, Poundmaster gives you a basic hotel experience al a prtce you won't believe, We're able to do this because we know that you don 't want the swimming pools, the saunas and the hairdressing salons you might find in some hotels. Wk gave you exactly what you do need to enjoy a good ntght's sleep.

Situation 3

Man: By deciding to build the sporrs centre ourside town, the council are making clear their commitment to developing the surrounding area. The increased tourzsm will be a bag boost to local people, and it avoids the increase in Traffic that building it in the town centre would have caused.

Situation 4

Wornan: Ah, Vincent. just the man I wanted to see. I knot" you're on yoür lunch break, but it won't take a minute. I don't want to make a big Issue our of this, but it's âbout your

time-keeping. You know I have to leave each day in the afternoon to go and see what's happenmg th the other office, and I don't want any more reports ofyou disappearing at four thirty. Do I make myself quite clear? Now please don't be late back after lunch.

Situation S

Man: I 've been patn¿zngfor a few months now and I enjoy it a lot, although you see ptctures for sale in a gallery any time soon! There's a lot of satisfaction in making something that's attractive. You have to learn rely on your own judgement about a picture while you're working because no two people see things tn the same way. When you finish, though, it's rewarding when somebody else says That they like what you've done.

Situation 6

Vibman: Well, I was driving along the road — not far from home, actually — when this idiot just pulled out right in from of me. I didn't have any time to react and went into the side of his car. He was very apologetic, and admitted that iT was his fault. I always thought that I'd panic in a situation like that, or get really angry, but to my surprise I was actually quite calm. The police arrived about fifteen minutes later and took everyone's details, and then I went on my way, half an hour late for work.

Situation 7

Man: The argument goes that you are grown up at sixteen and you are old enough to knew what you want, so why shouldn't you be able to vote for the government you want? I'll tell you why not — because you don 'r have the maturity make a sensible choice at that age. You're still discovermg a lot about the world and about other people, and that kind of imporzant decision should be left in the hands of adults.

Speaker 1: I've always been very slim and that's not because I don't eat a lot. I do! 1 have breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, and sometimes have snacks between meals too. The thing is, ir just doesn seem to matzer what I eat. Even if I have a really meal, I never seem to get fat. It's great because it means I cal eat what 1 like, when I like!

Speaker 2: I know I should be more careful about what I eat, but 1 do seem to ear a lot of crisps, sweet-s andjunk food I think it's because of job. I don't have time for proper meals during the day, so I just have lots of-slacks at desk. I know rm a bi overweight, but then lots ofpeople are, aren 't they? It doesn't really bother me.

Speaker 3: 1 decided to become a vegetarian when I was about sixteen. I started by just giving up red meat, like beef, and that was easy, so then I stopped having things like chicken and pork too. It's great, actually. Ifeel very healthy and I don t miss it at all. There are lots of other things you can have instead,

Speaker 4: I really do believe that the first megl of the day ts the most important. I usually only have a snack for lunch and don't have a big meal in the evening, but as soon as I get up I like to have a big bowl of cereal, some toast, and maybe even an omelette too. It gives me the energy to keep going all through the day.

SPeaker 5: I put on weight really easily, so 1 have to stop myselJ from eating too much. If I'm in a restaurant, I'll usually choose just a small salad Or something like that, rather than a steak or a big meal. I hate otherwise 1 know the next day I'll look in the mirror and think, 'Look! You 're fatter than you were yesterday!'

Manager:

Hi, Adrian. Good see you, and welcome to the club.

Player

Hi, Mr Davenport. Thanks.

Manager:

Now, I understand the coach, Yim Thelforth, is goang to be gaving you your schedule and training plan later in the morning, and he'll show you around too I cwuld imagine, but there are a few other things about your life here I'd like to discuss with you.

Player.

Sure, No problem.

Manager.

The first thing, Adrian, is to do with giving interviews. You're already a successful player, and you're going to be a lot more famous in a few months, so there'll be a lot of media interest in you. That's great, but I would ask you to let us know beforehand ifyou're going to talk to a journalisL Is that okay?

Player.

That's fine. 1 don't really like giving interviews, to be honest, but I do realise it's something I'll have to do every nou and then and I think it's quite acceptable that you should know about it first.

Manager:

Good And another thing that's related,

Companies might approach you and ask you to do advertisements and commercials to endorse their products. They'll probably offer you a lot of money and you'll want to say 'yes' immediately.

Player:

hope that happens!

Manager.

So do I. The thing is, the club would like to help you with this. Ifyou do get any offers for things like that,feel free to come and discuss it with me first.

Player:

Sorry, just so I'm clear. Are you saying I have to discuss it with you first, or I can if I want to?

Man

No, you don't have to at all. There?s nothing in your contract with us about that. But I've got a lot of experience with this kind of thing and it's part of my job to make sure all my players are happy.

Player.

               Okay. Thanks, Mr Davenport.

Manager.

Now, have you got any questions for me?

Player.

Ummm . let me think. Well, my accommodation's all been sorted out, and I've got a few questions for Mr Trelforth about my training schedule, but there is one thing you could maybe help with: payment of salary. At my last club they used to pay us in cash for some reason every Friday. Is that what you do here?

Manager:

Good Lord, no. We can either give you a cheque or put the money straght into your bank account, whichever you prefer.

Player:

The bank's probably the best, I would have thought.

Manager:

Fine. That's every month, or every two weeks,   though. Not eoery week like at your old club.

Player:

Do I have a choice?

Manager:

Yes. It's totally up to you,

Player:

Well, every month seems to be a bit long, really, so let's go for the other option, if that's okay with you

Manager:

Fine.

- Only one or two people couåd use ir at any one time.

-                    Wi could use it to connect to the Interna - WE could start computer club.

-                    WE could play lots of games on it.

TV and DVD player

-  Where would we get the DVDs fronû

-  We can watch TV at home, 14B' would we want to watch it at school too?

-  It's not very educational!

- It vnuld be great watch films in class and after school!

- They last for a long time. Students infive or ten years will st:ll be using them!

- Lots of the kids have got DVDs at home that they can bring in, and I'm sure our English teacher's got lots of films in English we could watch.

classroom furniture

-  won't get much use out of it. %'11' be in a different classroom next year.

-  It's a bit boring!

-  The school wtll probably get seme new furniture soon anyway.

-              Our classroom furniture's really old.

-              have the best classroom in the school!

-              They d be able use it for at least the next twenty years.

books

- Where would toe keep them? 200 books take up a lot of space.

- Hou would we choose which books to get?       never agree!

- People would take them of the library and forger ro bring them back.

- That's a lot of books! There'd be somethingfor everybody. WE could ask our teachers to help choose the books, too.

- Reading's educational and enjoyable too. - Books last for a very long time.

CD player and CDs

- The school's already got a CD player.

- How would we choose which CDs to get?        never agree!

- A computer's got a CD player on it anyway.

-                    could use it for class parties!

-                    We could start a CD library at school. - Everyone loves music.

Speaker 1: Yu shbuld read Andy Griffiths. He's an Australian teriter and his books for children are hilarious! Sometimes books makž you smile, but his are the kind of books that make you laugh out loud It can be a bit embarrassing ifyu're reading them on the bus or train.

Sometimes the tears are running down my face whde I read'

Speaker 2: My personal favourite is Enid Blyton. You can read her stories again and again because there's always lots of action. I'z.e got all her books, and I've read all of them at-least twice. My fatourit£ one I almost know off by heart. I've read that about ten times now!

Speaker 3: Have you heard of a writer called Philip Pullman? WI, I love his books. Ihey're set in a world where magic exists and people fly dragons and all kinds of crazy things happen. There's a lot of action and you're always surprised by what happens next. I don't know where he gets his ideas from, but I think they're great. He must have a lot of imagination.

Speaker 4: Anthony Buckeridge is my favourite. He wrote books about two schoolboys, yennings andÞDerbyshire. They have lots of adventures and Buckeridge seems know just hou teenagers think. He really gives the reader an idea of what it's like to be that age, trying to understand what teachers want from you and always getting it wrong. I think he probably had kids of his own that were the same age as his characters.

Speaker 5: I've read a lot of Maya Angelou's books, especially her autobiographies. I think it was from them that J realised J want to be a teacher. She writes about being poor and uneducated when she was a child, and as I read her book I thought, 'I'd like to be a teacher and help children like that.' I know it's a long way in the future, but I hope that's what happens.

Man:                  Not really. I thought I might go into town, you know, look around a bit, see the sights. Would you like to come?

Woman:            I'd love to. It's been ages since I went round the town centre. Unfortunately, I'm working, so you'll have to entertain yourself, I'm afraid There's lots to do, though.

Man:               Have you got any suggestions?

Woman:            Well, there's the shopping centre, or the harbour, or the museum, or the

Man:

A walk round the harbour sounds nice, and then maybe a trip to the museum.

Woman:

Good idea. There's a great exhibition about local history on at the museum at the moment. I keep meaning to go and see it, but I never seem to hace time.

Man:

WI, it sounds like my morning is arranged What about the afternoon?

Hbrnan.

Since you're at the museum, you couldjust pop into the theatre and see what's on. It's just on the opposite side of the road. Maybe games and I could come and meet you in the evening and see a play.

Man:

Yes, okay. I'll do that. And then I think Iu like to do a bit of shopping. I don't have a book to read while I'm here. Any ideas?

Vlbman:

The only bookshop is Waterbridge's. They've got a great selection, but you'll have to take a taxi. It's a couple of miles out of town.

Man:

I don't mind And then we'll meet in town after that. You tell me what time and where.

I'll finish work about five and come straight into town. You'll hazy to get a taxi back into town, you? Ger him to drop you off next to the railway station. There's a café there called the Rathoay Café. Walk past that and you see a fountain. I'll meet you there at say tzænty pastfive?

Interviewer. I'm very pleased to welcome Patricia Ponting to the show. Now, Patricia, you're a tennis umpire. Tell us how you got started.

Patricia: That's right. I've been working as an umpire for about four years now. Injury brought an end to my playing career and tennis was all I'd ever wanted to do, really. I did look around for another job for a few months, but I soon realised that there was no reason why I could'ù still be involved in

the sport 1 love. I applied to the Lawn Tennis Association and started tratning.

Interviewer. Did you find it easy?

Patricia: Not at all. I had an advantage over people who u never played tennis, since I already knew the rules very well. I did have to learn how to be strict with players, though. Maybe it's because 1 used to be one of them, bur I had problems with that. The other stuff, like scoring and performing in front of people, I was okay on.

Interviewer: Do you remember yourfirst match?

Patricia:            Yes, of course. It was an amateur match a local club. You might think it wasn't a very important game, but the people in it take it very sertously indeed! I still had to be very careful, and there was

one point when I made a mistake announczng the scores, but I corrected myself immediately, so it didn 't matter. The players were very supportive. It was good get tkc first one out of the way.

Interviewer: Has ir ewer gone completely wrong?

Patricia: 1 thought you'd ask me that. Yes, it has. My most embarrassing moment was in my fourth match. Have you seen the big electronic scoreboards? Well, usually, they're •very reliable, but this one was quite old and suddenly, halfway through the third set, it wen? off. That meant I had to use written score, but in the confusion I'd given a point to the wrong player. The other player argued, and 1 was sure 1 was right, but eventually It got sorted out and we were able to finish the match.

Interviewer: W'71at do you think are the most important qualities ðfan umpire?

Patricia: That's a difficult one. At the end of the day, you've got to do the job properly, and that can sometimes mean making a difficult decision when you've been watching tennis for hours. That's the key thing. Yes, the players have to trust you, and -yes, you hat-E to make sure the crowd know what's happening, but those are secondary, really.

Interviewer. Is there a down side to being an umpire?

Patricia: There's a down side to every job. With some jobs it's low salary, but while we don't earn anything like the amounts the players do, umpires do okay. You normally do two matches a day, which is aboutfour hours, so you can't really complain about that. I guess one thing that is difficult is always following the professional players around the world. It makes it hard to have a home life.

Interviewer: Finally, Patricia, do you have any advice for listeners who might be thinking of becoming a tennis umpire?

Patricia:             I don't think I took the best route to becoming an umpire. Getting on the court and actualy playing necessary. Learning from cun•ent umpires is pmbably best. See what decisions — and perhaps mistakes — they make. Look closely at officials from al sporas and see what they do. fry to observe as marry examples as you can. It'd be great if there were books out there that you could read that would turn you into an umpire, but I don•t know of any.

Interviewer. Patricia, thanks forjoining us. Patricia: Thank you.

favourite singer/group

-  There are probably lots Of websites about them already.

-  We don't hate enough information about them.

-  1: might be difficult to find photographs of them.

-  We could write our opinions of each one ofTheir songs.

-  it'll be fun looking for pictures to put on the website.

-  LW can include news about their latest CD or their latest concert.

favourite sport/team

-  There isn't much new to say about it.

-  Other people won't find it very interesting if they support a different team.

- We could write reports about every match we see!

Wd could e-mail the players and maybe they would give as an mtervzezu

family

- Nobody else is interested in the members of our families so we wouldn't have many visitors.

- We know everything about our families, $0 What's the point of a website?

- Websites are usually about famous people, not ordinary people.

-                 got lots of photographs that we can use!

-                 It'll shot-o people what ordinary families are like — and we mzghz become famous!

-                 It yntght help people who are researching thefrfamily history. Wk might find some long-lost cousins.

school

-   We spend all day at school. I don 't want to spend hours on a school website as well!

-   The school might object to the idea.

-   I can't imagine that anyone would want to Visit a website about our school.

We could have photographs and interviews With all our friends.

- We might get the school to advertise on our website.

- We could have pages about special events at the school.

town/city

- There are lots of books that have travel information, so a website wouldn't be much use.

- It'll take forever ro put all the information about our town/city into a website.

- It'll make cur team famous, and maybe increase tourism.

- could speak to local people and ask them for suggestzons.

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed.

When discussing each option, first use the information that is contrary to what the student says. You may choose to make use of some ideas only.

DO not speak first all the time, but ask the student what he/she thinks about the options.

Invite the student to come up with his/her suggestions, especially if he/she readily agrees With the things you say.

If the student says all the time, "What do you think about it?" without expressing his/her own opinion, say, "Sorry, I don't know." or "I'm not sure. How do you feel about it?"

Actually, in the house where we used to live my room was even larger — almost twice the size of this room! — but this is actually quite big enough for me. I've still got room for all my tos, which I keep over here, and we've managed to fit in all the furniture

from my old room too, This is my desk here with my computer on it. Do you like it?

Speaker 2: Let me show you my room. I say 'my room', but I suppose I should say 'our room' cos it's Amy's room too. Her bed's on that side, over there, and this is my bed here. 1%'re not supposed to talk after Mum's turned the light off and said goodnight, but sometimes we do! I keep my clothes in this wardrobe here, and Amy keeps hers in here.

Speaker 3: So, this is my bedroom. What I really like about it is that it's got lots of shelves and cupboards so there's room for me to keep all my toys and games and books. I'd hate to have a bedroom where you have 10 keep all the toys on the floor. That's really untidy and messy! I like everything to be in the right place — after I've finished playing with it, of course!

Speaker 4: LVelcome to my room! Do you like it? I spend a lot of time in here, so I need it to be really nice. I've put my desk by the window over here, so I get some light when I'm doing my homework in the evening.

Fine. And does everyone in your share the same tube of toothpaste, or does each person have separate tubes?

Well, we've got two bathrooms, you see. One for me and my husband, and one for the children. So, we have one tube of toothpaste in our bathroom, and one in the kids' bathroom.

At Morrison's, our local supermarket. It's cheaper there.

I could tell how dzsappointed he was, but I wasn't at all I said to him, 'David, you should be proud of what you've achieved' He's the best son in the world, he is.

Situation 2

Man.' Every evening, whatever the weather, I come home from work, hawe something to eat, have a short rest, then go for a run. [ run for about forty-five minutes, usually. Running's definitely good for you and if I wasn't doing it I'd only be sitnng at home on my oun watching TV But acžualb' what 1 really like abour it is that, when I'm running, I just forget about all my worries and the bad things that have happened during the day. I come home physically tired, but really relaxed emotionally.

Frankly, they're not very good, so don't get excited However, I've been looking at the results you got six months ago, and most of you have imprœved quite considerably since then. So, when I give your papers back, I want you to remember that, although you probably haven't got a very good mark here, the mark you got six months ago was a lot worse.

Situation 6

Man: Yes, I suppose in most of my books I concentrate on big themes, like ambition and power. My last novel, Temptation, was all about how being jealous of other people can destroy you, With my new book, I'm touching on a subject I haven't dealt with before. It's about a woman whose husband leaves her, so she decides to take revenge. I won 't tell you what happens, but she really does manage to get her own back on him!


Situation 7

Man: It is quite likely that the price ofpetrol Will gÖ up aga:n, to be honest, but I can't say that bothers me much, nor having a car. And, yes, I can see unemployment rising a little too, but probably only for a feu months. I think this government's been pretty good at dealing with unemplcyment so far. NO, my Concern is that 131 months or so, all the houses round here be worth ten or twenty per cent less than they're nou Now, that's serious and the go•zernment's got to do something about that soon or they'll lose no' cote.

Speaker 1: I suppose one subject that stands out for me is history. It used to be the case that Ifound it so confusing! All those dates used 10 just get mixed up in my mind. Last year, though, something seemed to fall into place and suddenly a lot of things became a lot clearer. Iz seems quite simple now and it's difficult to understand Why I had such problems in the first place.

Speaker 2: Biology is very interesting, although I'm not the best in the class. 1 don't understand people who prefer physics or chemistry because those subjects don't seem connected to real life. I love gardening and you can actually apply what you learn in the classroom to the garden. It makes a big difference when you know why you have do cerzain things with your plants.

Speaker 3: We geography twice a week, on Wédnesdays and Fridays, and it's not really a subject J look forward to. I'm fine on the unimportant details that you can just remember — the capital cities of countries, things like that. It's all the Important things like understanding why people live here anci there that I can't do, and chat seems be of it! All rhaz seems too complicated and rny brain just gives up!

Speaker 4: I've always liked computer studies. It takes a lot of hard work understand most of iz, but it's worth it because it's so useful. The skills you learn there are just as important as in physics, chennstry or maths. Computers are used in almost all our Other subjects these days, so first Step is a good idea Of how w use them and how they work. It's been helpful to me, anyway.

Speaker 5: The lessons that seem to me to take forever are PE lessons. Unless you want to be a professional athlete, what's the point of doing all that running around? 1 want to be a doctor, so I can 't see what possible use it's going to be. I don't want to fat? it, so 1 do do some work, but not my first priority. I prefer to spend my time on subjects that really matter to me, like biology.

Coach: Okay, everybody Now, as you know, ue 're playing Northampton Spitfires on Saturday. It's going to be a tough match, but I've got every confidence in you. I wanted us to get tl)gether today to have a look at last week's match and go over areas where we think we can improve. I knou that some ofyou were disappointed with your performance, but do welt in training this week and you can still be in Saturday's team. Yes, Lisa?

Lisa: Coach, I have zo admit that I'm a bit worried. Northampton are the champions and once that match starts, we're not going to have time to put things right. We've got to get our best players fit, and 1 don't see how we're going to do that when we can't use the gym.

Coach:               I understand how you feel, but while building


work being done, I'm afraid we don't have any choice. We'll just have to traiñ on the field. Now, I'd like each ofyou to tell me your strengths and faults were in last Saturday's loss to Liverpool. 1 don't need to hear about anyone else — {I's not about blame. That includes you

experienced players, as well as the new players. This is about learning from our mistakes. Lisa,

 

would you like to start?

Lisa:

WII, I'll start with strengths. T scored a few points, which wasn 't bad More importantly, though, I felt fit, and I was still going strong at the end of the match, which I was pleased by. Oh, and 1 arrived on time for once. That's something, I suppose.

Coach:

Yes, I'm glad you managed that too. I agree with               yourjudgement. I noticed that about a few ofyou.

You seemed to have more energy out there, even though we'd done weight training in the morning. That new high-energy diet I've got you on must be Working. Maybe we'll see a bit more enthusiasm for the brig-distance runnmg now. So, what about things you weren't so pleased with, Lisa?


Lisa: Erm . I guess 1 wasn'z really concentrating for a lot of the match. I kept trying to focus on what was happening, bur I just couldn't keep up with the other team. It was like my mind was?Ù there. Ourfans were great and really made a lot of noise to encourage us, but I wasn't at best. I've got exams next week and I must be worrying abouz them because I keep waking up at night.

That's the only excuse I've got, realy.

Coach: Don 'z worry about it, Lisa. al go through stressful periods and we all deal with stress in different ways. The key is not to ignore what's causing the stress. You can't change Zhe fact that you've got exams, buz you can make sure you have a good night's sleep. Find something you like that relaxes you after a day's training and do that before you sleep. It might be a hot bath or reading a book. Everyone's different. For me, it's doing a difficult crossword Okay, who's next?Yes, Naomi. did you think of Saturday?

Task 3 (3—4 minutes)

You and the student are discussing how to spend two hours at an airport while you wait for your delayed flight. These are your main ideas about each option:

 

 

 

play video games

-  They can be quite expensive and in two hours we might spend a lot of money.

-  It's noisy in the video arcade. We might miss an announcement about ourflight!

-         They m:ght have some of the latest games.

-         really good fun so the time will pass really quickly.

-         Can see who'S the best at each game!

do some shopping

- Prices are always really high at the airport.

- Wé've already been round the shops once.

- WE couldn't buy much because we'd have to take it all on the plane with us.

- There are still a few shops we haven't been in.

- I saw afew things earlier that looked interesting. LVé could go back for a second look.

- WC might puk up a few last minute presents for people.

watch the planes

- You've seen one plane, you 've seen them all. They all look the same to me.

- It might be okay for a few minutes, but I don't think I'd enjoy watching planes for two hours.

- The observation deck is on the top floor, which is quite a long way from here.

- There are always things going on on the runway, so there's lots to watch.

- I like to see planes from different countries and imagme where they 're going

- We could buy a book that tells you about different planes so that we know what we're looking at.

have a meal

- We only ate a couple of hours ago.

- I haven't seen anywhere that looks like it does good food at the airport.

- We'll be given a meal on the plane.

- There's lots of choice, so we could have almost anything we want.

- I like to eat on planes, so it's a good idea to have something now.

find somewhere to sleep

- I'm not really tired.

- The airport is quite crowded. I really don't think we'll find anywhere.

- I can never sleep before Ifly. I'm too nervous!

- It might be good to have a bit of a rest before we continue ourjourney.

- I thought I saw a quiet spot on the other side of the airport that looked comfortable.

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed.

When discussing each option, first use the information that is contrary to what the student says. You may choose to make use of some ideas only.

1 Speaker 1: The prices weren't bad at all, and actually the menu was better than at a lot Of restaurants I've been but the waiters were just so Slow!

Speaker 2: The waitress was fast, and really polite, and the whole thing only can-ae £20, so I suppose I can't complain too much, but really my meal was completely tasteless. Speaker 3: The dishes weren't bad at all, and actually the service was better than at a lot of restaurants I've been to, but the meal cosr a lot more than it should have

2 Speaker 1: I was impressed by the special effects, and the plot was actually really clever. None of the characters were believable, though, and f think that was the fault of the actors. Speaker 2: The explosions and things were really well done and the actors did their best. The problem was they had a terrible script to work with. Totally unbelievable storyline! Speaker 3: The film was definitely a good idea, and it wasn't the actors that let the whole thing down either. It was all the scenes that had been done on computer. You could see they weren 't real!

3 Speaker 1: Setting the game up was straightforward enough, and it didn't actually take long for us to work out the rules. The pieces stuck to the board, though, so it wasn't exactly easy to pick them up.

Speaker 2: set the game up in no time and then spent over half an hour trying to work out the rules. Half an hour!

Can you believe it? We still weren't totally sure what Were doing when we started moving our pieces round the board Speaker 3.- read the rules beforehand and they seemed fairly clear, but there cere so many different pteces and they each had to go in a particular place on the board, it took ages to get the game ready to play. It did get a bit easier when we actually started moving them round the board, though.

but ifyou asked me what my favourite books are, I'd have to say books for kid! I've got two kids of my own, and once they've finished reading a book, they pass it on to me. Children's literature these days is just so good! Take Harry Potter, for example. Much funnier and more exciting than books written for adults.

Speaker 2: I've always loved reading — ever since 1 was a young child. I can remember so clearly my mum teaching me to read. I loved every minute Of it! mether I'll ever actually manage to write a book of my own in the future, I don't know. But I'd really looe to!

I read to them first, and then I try to get them to reaå the cords back to me. I think Denise is a litTle better than Sarnnry so far, but they're wry competitive so I'm sure that'll change!

When you're a kid there seems to be loads Of time for reading, but it's not the same when you're an adult. The only time I have is on the train into work each morning. It's about a half-hour journey, so I always take a book with me It's a nice start to the day. I'm usually too tired zo read on the way home, though!

Speaker 5: I'm definitely what you would call a lover of books, and I studied literature at university, actually, so I do like to think of myself as a bit of an expert. But, and this will surprise you, I almost never go into bookshops It's not that I don 't read — I do! But we've got a fantastic library in the town centre so I get my books from there.

hitchhiking

- Il can be dangerous. You never know whar kind of person gave you a lifl.

- Our parents wouldn't want us to travel like that! - Some drivers might try to charge us.

-           It's a very cheap way of travelling.

-           can meet some interesting people.

It'll be very comfortable, espectally if it's a new car!

bus

-                    The journey would take a long time.

-                    Buses are really uncomfortable. Yu can't get up and walk around Imagine sitting down for about 20 hours! - Trains are better because they serve food and drinks.

- The tickets are cheap.

- You get a good vtew because you 're satang quite htgh up.

- The bus would take us right to the centre of the City so it's very near our hotel.

train

-  Wed have to get all our bags to the train station. Il's quite a long way from home.

-  There's only one train there each day. We u have to leave very early in the morning.

-  I always feel sick when I travel by train."

It's quzcker than going by bus.

- love trains. They're really comfortable andyou Can walk around. With the night train, we'll be able to get a good mght's sleep too!

The train station there is very near ourhotel.

plane

-           expensive!

-           It takes over an hourjust to get to the airport       here.

-           We have to get there at least an hour before the flight, so the whole journey will take a long time.

- The flight doesn't take long at all.

- I love flying! It's so exciting.

- The airport there isn't very farfrom our hotel, and there's a shuttle that will take us right zo our hotel.

rented ear

-   Youà' have to do all the driving. That's not fair.

-   We'd have to keep the car there for the whole week. That costs money! With the petrol too, it'll be quite expenszve.

-   It's a long way to drive, and 1 don 'T think the roads are very good!

could stop whenever we wanted during the journey.

- Wed have a car therefor the whole week so it could be easy to get around.

- We wouldn 't have to worn' about how many bags we were taking with us.

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed.

Speaker 1: I go abroad quite a bit, and I'm a great reader of travel books. I always try to make sure that I've read up on a place before I go, because that way you have a much better idea of what to expect. A few facts can make all the difference to your holiday. When you're aware of the history of something you're looking at, it really brings a place to life, I always think

Speaker 2: W 've been away twice this year. What I like is just choosing somewhere and going, without any definite plans. It's much more fun to wake up each day and ask yourself, 'Okay. What shall 1 do today?' Usually, for me, that means lying by the pool. The most difficult thing I want to do on holiday is decide what I'm having for dinner!

Speaker 3: I've never really been one to follow the crowd. I've been to popular places like Spain and Greece, but I'd much rather go somewhere that's a bit less well known. Last year it was China. It really is a great feeling to walk into a tiny village miles from anywhere, where no one speaks English, and lhznk that you could be the first European face some of them have ever seen.

Speaker 4: My wife likes to just arrive and then find a hotel, but that makes me nervous. I'm the sort of person who likes to make sure that nothing can go wrong. I'll book a hotel for every night, decide what I'm doing each day and make sure that it's all organised. Some people might find it exciting to take a risk and see what you can find, but I'd rather be sure that I'm not spending the Night outdoors.

Speaker 5: LVken you a,' a desk all day at work like I the last t/•nng you want to do spend            weeks lying on a beach. It's about the only chance I get for something a bit more energettc, so I usually go skiing, dhnng, or walking. There': plenty of lime to rest when     back at 710' desk.

Excuse me. Mrs Lee? I'm from the local newspaper. I ur_mdeT if I could ask you a feu questions.

Director.

Erm yes, okay, but I only have a few minutes.

Reporter:

Thank you. Now, we had a report that something has been stolen from the museum. Is that correct?

Director:

Yes, 1 2m afraid it is. A gold ring from anciem Greece has been taken.

Reporter.

L¥ás it very valuable?

Director:

t¥éll, it was actually unzque, so yes, it was worth a lot of money.

Reporter.

Do you think there's any chance that you'll get it back?

Director.

It's difficult to say. The last time something was stolen from the museum, we managed get it back within a few days. I'm sure the police are doing everything they can.

Reporter.

Could you describe how you found out about the crime?

Director.

[ got a phone call this morning at 4 0'clock, Saying that the ring had been stolen. It went missing sometime between 2 and 3 am.

Reporter:

How do you knou that?

Director.

We have security guards here all night and their job is to walk around the museum and check everything. Two guards were here at the rime of the robbery. They both remember seeing the ring just before 2 0 'clock. The next time they walked past, an hour later, it was gone.

Reporter.

ŸÓu 're not letting members of the public into the museum at the moment. Have you any idea when you might reopen?

Director:

Probably not until Monday. It's up to the police, really. They have to be sure they've found all the evidence they Can.

Reporter.

DO you have any idea what they got already?

Director;

Will, I can't say too much about it but I can tell you that they are studying a knife that they found beside the glass box where the object was kept. Apparently, it may have been used open the lock so that the thieves could get inside the box„

Interviewer. Hello, and welcome 10 '0b Focus. Today, ] 'm talking to Liz Chambertazm Hello, LIZ.

Interciewer' Now, Liz, you're a TV producer. Tell us something about your job.

WWI, r¿.ery TV charznå.s nuke thezr own programmes these day'& They go to Video production

companies like mine and buy the programmesfrom them So, I hate the ideasfor new programrnšfind the people to make them, and then sel them to TV channels. I set up Videomartia rhae Jean ago to prnnde entertainment programmesfor national and la:al channels, and that's what been doing etzr since.

Interviewer. So you don't actually appear in front of the cameras? Or do you?

job is realty employing the director, the presenter and everyone else involved, rather than appearing in the shou myself. I'll occasionally take the role of the presenter when we developing a new show, just so that everyone can see how it works, but I won't be on screen in the final version. I leave Ihaz 10 the professionals.

Interviewer: You mentioned that you produce entertainment programmes. I'm sure many of our listeners are wondering exactly what you mean by that. Could you be more specific?

Liz.Yes, 1 realise that 'entertainment programme ' could mean almost anything, comedies to sports programmes. It is possible for a company to produce the whole range ofprogrammes, but mosz tend to specialise in one type and you become known for that kind of show, We do all kinds of game shows, so if a channel wants one of those, we're the people they come to.

Interviewer: That's interesting. HOW did you get involved in that work in the first place?

Liz: Good question. There are one or two places where you can do a course in TVproduction and that's becoming more popular, btu I, like most other producers, started out as a TV researcher. That's the person who finds information out for a programme or arranges for people to be interviewed. You gain a lot of experience and gradually become involz,ed in other aspects of making programmes, so it's a natural process, really.

Interviewer: You've obviously been quite succe:sful, buz What do you find most difficult about the job?

That's tricky. It's not like we make drama and have to deal with a lot of difficult actors, which I've had to do in the past and never enjoyed. There 's probably room for improvement in the financial planning, I'll sometimes come up with an idea that I'm pretty sure is going co be a big hit, but it'll end up costing us far more than I thought to produce. 1 think I'm getting better at it, though.

Interviewer: Finally, I know that one ofyour recent product;ons, Make a Million, has been a huge success both in this country and, I believe, abroad What do you pur its success down to?

Liz: You have to know what viewers want. That's the key. And there's really only one way to do that and that's co be a viewer yourself and see what they see. I'm amazed when I meet TV producers oho spend more tame looking at market research than they do watching programmes. It's the time I've spent actually doing what we want our viewers to do that gives me an advantage.

Interviewer: so what do viewers want?

I can only talk about my oun viewers, but 1 think most of them like the fantasy of being on the show. LVé all know offacts and figures and think that we could do better than the people Who are actually answering the questions. People like me, who work in television, let them live that dream for half an hour.

Interoiewer: 1 hope you continue doing so for a long time. Liz, thanks for joining me today. Liz:       My pleasure.

-  The music might be too loud

- It'llfeel really special because they don 't go our restaurants very Often.

- 11 would mean that we don't have worry about cooking.

- can ask the jazz band to play the music that used to be popular when our grandparents were young. They might feel like dancing!

party

- They're quite old and I don't think they'd enjoy so much noise.

- They usually go to bed early, and it would be a shame to stop the parry.

- WE could invite everyone who knows them.

- l¥é could ask everyone to bringfood and drinks.

- The old ones can sit and talk while the young ones

special meal at home

- I'm not a very good cook, so it might turn out wrong.

- They eat at home all the time. It might not feel very special.

can cook them their favourite food as a treat.

-  It won 't cost us too much money.

-  Cooking something yourself is a great way to show people you care about them.

barbecue

-  We can't rely on the weather. What if it rains?

-  The food at a barbecue can bea bit boring. It's just lots of meat.

- Everyone can help with the cookzng

- It would be fun to eat outdoors for a change.

weekend trip

- We wouldn't be uith them to celebrate, - They never seem to enjo traveling.

- It would be very expensive and I'm not sure I can afford it.

- It would be like a second honeymoon for them.

- They rarely go away, so this might be a good opportunity.

- Wk could ask all the members of the family to give some money towards the cost.

Speaker 1: We movedfrom the centre of Bristol to a small village about four years ago. It's obviously a lot quieter, and we actually know our neighbours here, but what I've really nonced is how different the air is. It's so much fresher here. I actually used to find it difficult to breathe properly in the city centre and I think that was because of all the pollution. Since we moved here, though, I haven't had any breathing problems at all.

Speaker 2: I've lived here in the village all my life and I love it! I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. But there are things we just don't have here — big supermarkets, department stores, that kind of thing, so Phil and 1 do go znto Birmingham once or twice a month. I always look fomzzrd to those mps, co be honest. It is nice to be in a btg city sometimes surrounded by thousands of people rushing around!

Speaker 3: No, I don 't regret moving out of Coventry at all. Mind you, that was quite a while ago now, anyway. 've got a nzce litTl.e community here, and everything's a lot more peaceful Sure, we capù go to the theatre and cinema and things like that every evening like we used to be able to when we lived in the city centre, but we're older now, so a quiet night in in front of the telly fine!

Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it, You're far more likely to be burgled or mugged ifyou live in a big cicy than ifyou live around here. I'm not saying there's no crime here at all. There is. But il's still a lot safer than living in London or somewhere like that. That's actually the main reason we moved here. wanted somewhere safe for the kids to grow up in.

Speaker 5: It's funny. Most people say therc are far more 10b opportunities in the city, and a 101 of people have lef the area recem years cos there's no work for them here. the opposite for me, though, as a farmer. What would there be for me do tn a Nothing. So guess I'm stuck here in the country!

You and the student are discussing what to do in order to get fit. These are your main ideas about each option:

 

 

 

 

-          I expect the membership fee will be expensive, won 't it?

-          We'll be surrounded by all these really fit people. I'll feel uncomfortable!

-          don't need to pay to get fit. We can do it for free!

-  They have experts who can tell us exactly what we need to do.

They have really good equipment. I*WII befit in no time!

-  If we're paying, cw'll be more likely to keep at it and not give up.

exercise at home

- We've got no idea what exercises to do. It'll be a waste of time.

- You knou what like! W 'Il end up just chatting and listening to music.

-You can actually hurt yourself ifyou exercise in the wrong way.

It won't cost any money. That's a big advantage.

- LW could look on the Internet and see if there are some good exercises you can do at home on your own. - Nobody will see us or be able to laugh at us!

jogging/ running

- I know we want to get fit, but running sounds like really hard work!

- If we run round the neighbourhood, all our friends will come outside and laugh a; us!

- You probably run much faster than me. I won't be able to keep up!

It's a very good way to lose waght and strengthen the heart. And it's outside, so we'll get some fresh air too!

- It'll only take about half an hour every couple of days,

- We could start off slowly and build up. In a few weeks, we'll be able to race each other!

tennis

-We'd have to buy tennis rackets and balls. They're qutte expensive.

-The nearest tennis courts are quite a long way away from here.

might have fun, but I'm not sure it'll really help us get fit.

-  You don't have to pay to use the tennis courts in the park.

-  It'll be interesting to see which of us is better. I suspect I am!

-  It sounds a lot more fun than running!

swimming

- To get fit, we'd have to swim about thirty lengths a day. That sounds really boring!

- I don't feel very confident in the water.

- The suimming pool's usually really crowded, It'll be difficult to do lengths.

-  Most swimmers have fantastic bodies. look great after a few months!

-  I always feel really refreshed after being in a swimming pool.

-  You don need any equzpment, unlike with tennis. just a swimming costume and a towel. It's easy!

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed.

When discussing each option, first use the information that is contrary to what the student says. You may choose to make use of some ideas only.

Do not speak first all the time, but ask the student what he/she thinks about the options.

Invite the student to come up with his/her suggestions, especially if he/she readily agrees with the things you say.

If the student says a]] the time, "What do you think about it?" without expressing his/her own opinion, say, "Sorry, I don't know." or "I'm not sure. How do you feel about it?"

Speaker I: There's still a problem with cars being stolen, but at least there are fewer burglaries. WE see police officers on the streets around here much more often now, and 1 think that prevents a lot of crime. People who are thinking of robbing a house know rhat there's a much greater chance of being seen by police these days. The neighbours all agree that the officers have done a goodjob in bringmg down the level of crime around here.

Speaker 2: I've discussed it with the rest of the members of my family and we all agree that we feel less safe than we used to. It seems like every time you pick up a newspaper there's a report of a crime, and h wasn't like that five years ago. Then, you could go out at any time of night or day and not have to worry. Things are different today, though.

Speaker 3: According to the•police, this is one of the urn-st areas in the city for crime, but what do you expect? People around here are very poor and it 's not surprising that some Of them turn to crime. Personally, 1 would never steal anything, but some people in this neighbourhood have got nothing to lose. I'm not saying that what they do right, but I can see why they do it.

Speaker 4: lave got relatives who have been burgled or who have had their car stolen and it's always the same story. The police listen to your statement and file a report, but they knou and you knou that there 's very little chance of getting your things back. Mostly, they just give useless advice like 'always lock your car'. How does that help when the thieves just smash a window to get in?

Speaker 5.' Things were getting bad round here so we decided do something about it ourselves. It's called a Neighbourhood Watch scheme. The idea is that we keep an eye on each other's houses and if we see anything suspicious, we call the police. That way, you can go out and knou that someone in your area is watching your property for you. It's made a big difference and the police are really impressed with the idea. Maybe other neighbourhoodq should do the same.

Situation I

Woman: I've been in the job for a year and a half now. My boss is a man called john Philips and I'm sorry, but he's been there less time than I have and he's already been promoted above me. Everyone admires him for succeeding so quickly, but he's not the only one who deserves it. I'm not saying he's not good at his job, but so am I. If I don 't get the same recognitton soon, then I'll have to start considermg my QPt:ons.

Situation 2

Man: It was about the pollution problems in the local river. It

seems that things are getting pretty bad. and the pictures of dead fish were quite shockzng, although getting local people themselves to describe it might have had a bit more of an impact. They had some amazing statistics, going back for quite a few years, and it placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of the factory outside town. The factory owners tried to argue that it wasn '1 a problem, but their position just looked ridiculous. Let's hope it makes a difference

Situation 3

Teenage boy: The thing about United that they've always been a strong team. It's just that that's rarely been reflected in the results because they haven t had a manager who is Willing co take risks Last season u.w different, though, and that all down to one man being prepared to bring in new players and cake a bit of a gamble.

Situation 4

Woman: I went to the neat; gallery town recently. I was expecting the dzsplays of modern art to be borzng, so I was quite relieved see that it wasn't the same cid t:red ideas being recycled again and again. I ended up staying for a couple of hours and being quite Inspired, actually.

Situation 5

Man: It's been hell at uvrk recently. Our company exports olives and my two partners are abroad tryzng ro secure orders from neu customers, which can be quite difficult. They'll be corning back to a shock when they find that three of the oliz.'e growers have let us down at the same time. I'm desperately trytng to find new sources, but I haven't had much luck so far.

Situation 6

Woman: Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a good speaker of a language and a great speaker of a language? Go Native is the new computer-based language course from Linguacorp. Go Native uses all the latest techniques to convert your advanced level language into expert level language. Focustng on Pronunciation, vocabulary and a few other things you probably thought were only for beginners, Go Name will help you reach your ultimate goat.

Situation 7

Woman: Funny, really, but I always assumed that I wouldjust grow up and spend the rest of my life in the same small Ecu.'n. When Ifinished school, I went to work in a bank, I occasionally visit friends at university, but I always enjoyed coming home to the life that they nou thought was quite boring. It was only when they needed someone to take over the branch 200 kilometres away that I finally moved. It was a great opportunity and I couldn't turn it down.

go cycling

- Your bike's faster than mine. I'd be struggling to keep up.

- There's nowhere to cycle round here without being m the middle of a lot of traffic.

- Not all our friends have bicycles, so we couldn't ask them to join us.

-  Cycling is a great way to get some exercise and have fun at the same time.

watch Tv

-  should do something more special for the last weekend of the summer holidays.

-  I feel like I've spent a lot of time watching TV these holidays.             rather do something active.

-  When school starts, we'll be too busy to watch much TV,' so we should watch it while we can! - could eat snacks while we watch.

-  There might be a really good film on.

organise a party

-  It sounds like a lot of hard work!

-  don't have enough time to organise it and tell everyone about it before the weekend.

-  I don't think our parents would let us have a party so close to going back to school.

-  It would be a great way to celebrate the summer, and I'm sure all our friends unuld lave to come.

-  I've got some new CDs. l¥'é could play those at the party.

Speaker 1: 1 usually drive to work, but every now and then I decide to take the tram instead. Where I live, everyone drives zo work at the same time so the traffic's awful! You can be stuck in a traffic jam for hours, and then you 've got to find a parking space. With the train, I can walk to the station from my house, which is nice. Thinking about it, maybe I should do it more often!

Speaker 2: WII, I did driving lessons at university, took the test and got my licence so I can drwe,yes. And occasionally I hire a car for a week or if I need to go somewhere. But 1 don't actually own a car. Never have. Parking's a real problem round here, and I just wouldn 't use it often enough for it to be worthwhile. It's one less thing to think about, anyway!

Speaker 3: I don 't know why, but in my family we all grve our cars names. Mine's called Reggae. Reggie's never broken down, never been involved in an accident, never caused me any problems.

You are a passer-by. The student will begin the conversation. Give him/her directions for getting to City Hospital.

Sample conversation

den

Interlocut

- Excuse me. I wonder ifyou could tell me how to get to City Hospital from here?

- Certainly. There are two buses that go from the city centre to the hospital.

- Great! Which buses are they?

- The number 22 and the number 44.

- How long do they take?

- The 22 goes straight there, but the bus stop's quite a long way away from here.

- What about the number 44?

- That stops at lots ofplaces on the way.

- Is the bus stop dose?

- Yes, 's just round the corner.

-  So, which do you think I should get?

Or

-  So, how far is it to the number 22 bus stop?

- It's up to you!

- It'll take you about rwenry minutes to walk therefrom here.

- And how long exactly does each bus take?

- I think the 22 takes about 25 minutes.

- And the number 44?

— About an hour.

- Right. I think I'll [student makes decis;on]. Thanks for your help.

- You 're welcome. Good luck!

 If the student asks how to get to the bus stop, say: "Walk straight down this road until you come to the crossroads. Turn right, and walk for about ten minutes. Go past the big supermarket, and take the first turning on the right. The bus stop's down there."

Task 3 (3—4 minutes)

You and the student are discussing how to spend your final half hour on a beach. These are your main ideas about each option:

 

 

 

-As we've just got dry, it mtght not be a good idea to get wet agatn.

- We've been swtmming al}day. Maybe we should do something else for the last half an hour.

- The water's so refreshing. It'd be great to have one final -stoim before leave.

— can wash Off all the sand we've got between Our toes! can practúe swimming underwater like we were doing before!

sunbathing

- We've run out of Sun cream, and Stayzng in the sun for a long tzme without protectzon can do a lot of damage to our skin.

- We might fall asleep, and we've got to leave soon!

- Even though I am feeling a biz lazy, it might be better to do something a bit more active for our last half hour.

-          1 am feeling quite lazy! Yust lying here sounds quite appealing, to be honest!

-          could read our new magazines at the same time.

-          The sun 's not too bright now, so shouldn 't burn.

beach volleyball

-  It's still quite hot. We'll be very sweaty when we leave the beach.

-  There are quate a few sharp scones on the beach. We might hurt our feet!

-  I'm not sure I've got enough energy, to be honest.

-You beat me last time so I could get my mm back!

- There's plenty of room, so we wouldn't be disturbing other people.

- Half an hour'sjust enöügh rime to have a good game

ice cream in café

-  The service is quite slow in that café Are you sure we've got time?

-  That Café's quite expensive. I'd rather get a cheaper ice cream later.

-  We'll be having supper as soon as we get home. We don't want to ruin our appetites.

-1 really fancy a nice, big strawberry ice cream. Doesn't that sound lovely?

- They've got lots of empty tables outside, so we wouldn't have to sit inside.

- always have an ice cream when we go w the beach, and haven 't had one today!

hire small boat

-  By the time we get out on the water, It'll be time to come back.

-  It's a bit of a waste of money, isn't it?

-  Neither of us knows how to row properly!

-[WII be on the water, but not get wet. Sounds a perfect way to end the day!

-The boats are just wer there, and J can see they've got some available

-W've never hired a small boat before. You ought to try new things every now and then.

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed.

When discussing each option, first use the information that is contrary to what the student says. You may choose to make use of some ideas only,

Do not speak first all the time, but ask the student what he/she thinks about the options.

Invite the student to come up with his/her suggestions, especially if he/she readily agrees with the things you say.

If the student says all the ume, "What do you think about it?" without expressing his/her own opinion, say, "Sorry, I don't know." or "I'm not sure. How do you feel about it?"

Task 3 (3—4 minutes)

You and the student are discussing who to invite to speak to your school and to be interviewed for the school magazine. These are your main ideas about each option:

 

 

 

 

 

 

politician

-  Not many students are interested in politics They wouldn't know who he/she is.

-  Politicians usually make long, boring speeches and I don't think the school would enjoy that!

-  Wk would have to choose someone from one political party, and that wouldn't be fair.

-  Wt could learn about how decisions are made in our area.

-  WE could ask him/her about things that students care about, like education and the envtronment.

-  Maybe we could invite someone from a different political parry next month.

police officer

-  We all know what's right and what's wrong. What's the point of inviting someone to tell us that?

-  Not many people are interested in careers in the police, so a lot ofpupils might find it uninteresting.

-  The police are probably very busy and don't have time to visit a school.

-  WE could ask them all about the latest methods they use for catching criminals.

It's always good to encourage good relationships between the police andyoung people because it helps reduce crime.

-  could ask them what they are planning to do about crtme tn our area.

radio DJ

- They might be okay on a radio programme, but people like that are usually a lot less interesting in real life.

- People watch TV these days, rather than listen to the radio, so pupils   't enjoy it.

- They just play records and talk. They won't have any useful advice for people at our school.

-  Lots ofpeople want to unrk in the media. They might have some suggestions.

-  could ask them about any famous people they've met.

-  Maybe we could arrange for them to do part of their radio show from the school. That would be fun!

businessman] woman

- should invite someone more relevant to young people.

- It's not easy to get in touch with successful businessmen/women because they lead very busy lives,

- We've never heard any of them speak, so we don't know if they'll be good or not.

-  They could tell us from their own experience what it's like to set up a business.

-  Unemplcyment is a problem around here. They might have good ideas for people about to leave school.

-  'Ihey would be a really good role model for pupils.

spor tsman/ woman

- They usually want to be paid for givzng speeches.

- We should be encouragtng pupils to concentrate on schoolwork, not on sport.

- All they've done is spend their whole life training. Who wants to hear about that?

-  Most pupüs are interested in sport. We might even find someone famous to invite.

-  They'll be able to tell us what it takes to be really successful in sport.

could take some great photographs of them in acnon to go in the school magaztne.

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed.

When discussing each option, first use the information that is contrary to what the student says, You may choose to make use of some ideas only.

DO not speak first all the time, but ask the student what he/she thinks about the options.

Invite the student to come up with his/her suggestions, especially if he/she readily agrees with the things you say.

If the student says all the time, "What do you think about it?" without expressing his/her own opinion, say, "Sorry, I don't know." or "I'm not sure. How do you feel about it?"

Speaker 1 : I suppose I watch several films a week, whether that's at the cinema, on TV or getting a DVD from the local video store. What have I seen in the past few days? The latest Star Wars movie. That was fantastic! The effects were brilliant! A comedy with Hugh Grant. He 's so funny. 1just laughed and laughed. Oh, and a movie I've wanted to see for a long time, Cinema Paradiso. l: was incredible. Really moving. I cried for the last hour!

Speaker 2: I'd much rather watch a romantiC comedy, say, something with Hugh Grant in it, or a movie like Cinema Paradiso than a big-budget blockbuster like Star Wars or War of the Worlds. I mean, theyjusz use computers to create the effects, don 't they? I'd much rather see a film with good acting and a good script than loads of explosions or computer-generated aliens.

Speaker 3: love films. I can watch anything, really. Doesn't matter if it's just full of special effects or it's a really Simple drama. go to the cinema quite often, but I'd never decide see a film on the basis of what iz said in the paper. That's just one person's opinzon, Isn't it? And reviewers look at films differently to the rest of us, anyway. No, if I like the sound of [he title, or if } know any of the actors in it, I'll probably risk it.

Speaker 4: Well, I do like going to the cinema, bur ir's not as cheap as it used to be. If we take the kids, by the time we've bought some popcorn and had a drink, it*s about £50. That's a 10! of money for a ccuple of hours of some special effects. Its a shame, though: because the kids really do enjoy seeing a film in the Cinema. Makes it more of an event. It's just not worth it financially, though.

Speaker 5: Well, we do warch quite a lot of movies ar home. watched the latest Star Wars film only the other night on DVD. Great effects, by the way But the problem with watching films at home that there's too many distractions. People talk and the phone rtngs. That kind of thing. When you actually see a film on the big screen, you get so much more involved with what's happening. It's strange — there's more people around you, but you can actually concentrate more.

WI, zo&ejust a group ofpeople who live mund here, really. Most of us have kids. There's about twenty-five of us, say, who are actively involved We're calling ourselves the Fnends of fisher Park.

Journalist:

And what exactly do you hope to achieve, Mr Stapleton?

Man:

It's very simple. want to stop the council from destroying the park to buüd a block offlats.

Journalist:

You do accept, though, that we really do need some new, cheap accommodation in the town centre?

Man:

Oh yes. Wk do recognise there's a problem, and that land is in short supply. But to destroy the only green area for miles around. Will, it's a disgrace.

Kids can 't play in the streets anymore, obviously.

LVé Jve got to give them somewhere to be able to run around. The park 's been that place for over fifty

know. We've got a letter which we're going to send to every councillor next week. It's got over two thousand signatures on it.

Journalist: But will the council listen to you?

 

they don 't, 1 th:nk they'll find that' a ofpeople don't vote for them. They're supposed to represent us, aren 't they? If they don 't, whv should we vote for them?

Man:

t¥áll, the council meets on the of this month to make a final decisionl Wk 'l/ ail be at the meeting, Of course. And J hope lots of other people will be too. The more people we can get there, the more pressure there'll be on the council to change its mind

Situation 1

Man: And in local news, police have announced today that initial reports that the fire at Yõhnson 's Hardware Store, on the Dagenham Road, was caused by a lightning strike were unfounded. Investigators have also ruled out faulty electrical wiring and police are nog.' searching fÓr a woman who was seen at the building just minutes before the fire started.

Situation 2

Woman: Well, I did an A level at school tn politics and economics, and I actually did very well in the exam, but heart really wasn't in the subject at that point. It was when 1 was working as a reporter for a local newspaper that I finally decided to go into politics as a career, but I suppose my love for politics really began when I got involved with the Student Union while I was doing my law degree.

Situation 3

Man: You can just see the new extension to the living room over there through the trees. Wk 're going to decorate it next week, so hopefully it'll be ready for Christmas, as will the garage, of course, which we're starting work on next Monday. Where we 're standing right now will hopefully bé an outdoor swimming pool before too long, but we'll have to save up a bit first!

Situation 4

Man: Come on, Mrs Jacobs. You know what the doctor said. You have to take these pills as soon as you've had lunch, As you're not going to finish your dessert, that means it's time. Yes, you can get out of bed in a short while, but just pop these into your mouth first. With some Juice, that's right.

Interlocutor Card

Task 3 (3—4 minutes)

You and the student are discussing which tourist attraction to visit on the final day of your holiday together. These are your main ideas about each option:

 

 

 

art gallery

- I've never been very interested in art, so 1 might get bored.

- It wouldn 2t really               us anything about the local area.

- It's the final day-oj our holiday, so maybe we should do something outdoors.

- It's a great chance to see works that we might never see agatn.

- Wt might be able to buy copies of some of the Ptczures to take home as souvenirs.

funfair

-  I'm rather tired

-  It will probably be very crowded and noisy.

-  Jfind the rides at funfairs very frightening.

- It would be an exciting way to spend the day.

- It would be nice to be out in the open air.

- I¥é could take some great photos to show people zðhen we get back home.

castle

- Castles are usually on top of hills and I don't feel like doing so much walking.

- We've already seen some castles on this holiday and I don't really want to see another one.

-1% would probably learn a lot about the history Of the local area.

- There might be lots ofplaces to explore.

- don't have buüdings like rhat at home, so we shouldn't miss the chance.

beach

-  The weather isn so good, and it might get worse. - We can lie on a beach any time.

-  don't want to get our things wet orfull of sand if we're travelling tomorrow.

- It v_.ould be nice to go for a swim, haven't been to the beach much on this holiday, and it might be fun.

- WE could go fishing.

theatre

- There's nothing on I want to see.

- Ii would cost money.

- I don't really like going to the theatre,

-          might see a famous actor or actress.

-          It's much more interesting than watching a film Or watching television.

-          Many theatres are really interesting buildings.

Note: Make sure all the options have been discussed.

When discussing each option, first use the information that is contrary to what the student says. You may choose to make use of some ideas only.

Do not speak first all the time, but ask the student what he/she thinks about the options.

Invite the student to come up with his/her suggestions, especially if he/she readily agrees with the things you say.

If the student says all the time, "What do you think about it?" without expressing his/her own opinion, say, "Sorry, I don't know" or "I'm not sure. How do you feel about it?"
