B;A;C;B;A;B;C;A;A;B;C;B;C;A;B;C;C;B;A;B Text 1 M: Jack is not really preparing much for the teats or exams and still manages to get good grades. W: Yes, he is one of the top students in my class. Text 2 M: In America, where labour costs are so high, “do - it - yourself” is a way of life. W: Really? No wonder many people repair their own cars, build their own garages, even build their own houses there. Text 3 M: Hi, Mary! W: Hi, Jack! M: I can't believe it. I didn't know you were here. W: And I didn't know you were here. You look great! M: You do, too. It is three years since I saw you last. Why are you here in California, Mary? W: I'm here on business. And I'll return to Chicago next Monday. How about you? Text 4 M: What's this then? W: It's my geography, sir. The map of Africa you set us. M: But this should have been given in last Thursday? W: Yes, I know, sir. I'm sorry. M: Well, what's your excuse then? Text 5 M: Excuse me, madam. I'm trying to do some work now. I'm afraid your children are making too much noise. W: I'm sorry. But you know it's difficult to keep boys quiet. M: But I can't stand it any more. I couldn't work and I couldn't sleep at all last night. And I was also awakened by the noise they made early this morning. W: I'm very sorry. You know they never listen to me. They're only afraid of their father. But he's away on business. I think he'll be back tomorrow. M: Well, I hope he can do something about it. Text 6 W: Mr Clark, can you tell me something about your daily life? M: Sure. I always start every day with a hearty breakfast. Then I work a little bit in my garden. After that I ride my bike to my country club and play golf for a couple of hours. W: Is it safe to ride a bike at your age, Mr Clark? M: You are always as young as you feel. I don't feel old. W: By the way, when did you learn to ride a bike? M: I bought my first bike when I was fifteen and now I've got my twentieth bike. W: So you enjoy travelling by bike. M: Yes, I often cycle to the nearby town, which is seven miles away. And I regularly put my bike on the train and go out in the country for a long ride. Right now, I'm planning a cycling tour along the lake with a couple of friends. W: That's great! Now, thank you very much, Mr Clark. Text 7 W: You say Scotland? Oh no! I want to go south- to the Continent. Oh Tom, let's go to France. M: Why France? W: Because…because the food's excellent. M: And expensive! At today's exchange. W: If we can't afford France, let's go to Italy then. M: Why Italy? W: Because…because the men there are so handsome. M: But you're far too tall for them, darling. W: Well, thank you so much! Text 8 W: Mr Thorogood, I notice that in your Annual Report you say that English is the most widely spoken language in the world, and, I quote, is almost certain to be the language of space. M: Well, I admit that it does sound a little pretentious. But, you know, the facts speak for themselves. English is the native language of millions of Americans, Canadians, Australians, as well as Britons. It's used as a second language by millions of Asians and Africans. And, of course, it's learned as a foreign language in many countries all over the world. W: But generally speaking, Chinese is the most important language in the world, surely? M: Oh yes, that is true. But then Chinese is not so widely spoken as English. W: Do you think English will become the official language of the EEC? M: That's a very delicate matter. I don't know. But remember that half the scientific literature of the world is written in English. It's also the main language of German and Japanese salesmanship. Educational material employs more English than any other language, and, of course… W: I'm afraid, Mr Thorogood, I must interrupt you there as our time's up. Thank you very much for coming to the studio and for your clear exposition. Thank you. Text 9 M: I understand that the majority of foreigners working in Britain are au pairs. What's the attraction, do you think? W: Well, it's an excellent system, you know. In exchange for a little help round the house, it gives the girls not only free accommodation but a splendid opportunity to learn the language. M: That may well have been its intention, but does the system work like that now? It's become more of a business now, hasn't it? In many cases it merely gives the families a chance to exploit the girls, without giving the girls a chance to learn the language. W: Not at all. It's a very good way, you know, of bringing people of different nationalities together. And anyway, the girls continue to come over in their thousands. M: Yes, but don't they complain that they find it hard to meet English people, especially young people of their own ages? W: I'm not sure that that is so. The interesting thing is that in spite of everything the girls are really quite content. There's evidence for this, you know. M: Yes, that's all very well, but don't you think it's surprising that very few of them keep in touch after they go back home? Text 10 Yesterday at about four o'clock in the afternoon, a boy of 12, named Bobby Lane, was struck by my car near the intersection of Polar and Chestnut Streets. I could remember clearly what had happened at that time. The boy, I mean Bobby, suddenly ran in front of my car and I didn't have time to stop. Five witnesses of the accident said that young Lane was chasing a ball, rushed out into the street, and ran into the left front fender of my car. Officer Milhaus, who investigated the accident, found the boy lying in the street in front of my car and told me to stand by, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Officer Milhaus said that the boy was still conscious but dazed. He did not think that the boy was seriously injured. The boy was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital where his condition was reported as good. Luckily, I was not charged by the police. |
