Unit 9 Dreams and Ambitions

Part A

Listening Strategy

Drawing Inferences

The ability to draw correct inferences from what we have heard is an important skill in listening comprehension because sometimes a speaker does not state directly what he / she intends to say but implies it instead. A speaker’s attitude towards what he / she discusses, in particular, often has to be inferred from the hints he / she has dropped. So we must learn to synthesize all these hints so as to get a complete picture about what is being discussed. In addition, we can rely on the speaker’s choice of words to help us: the use of words of positive, negative or neutral meaning can indicate a positive, negative or neutral attitude respectively.

Listen to the following story and do the multiple-choice exercise below.

1. We can learn from the passage that Jane _____________.

a. wanted to travel because she led an uncomfortable life

b. used to live a comfortable life but it wasn’t the life of her dream

c. didn’t want to change her lifestyle until she reached 35

d. all of sudden, wanted to see the world, though she lived quite a good life

2. We can infer from the passage that Jane _____________.

a. liked Africa more than Europe and India

b. had never had any boyfriends before she met John

c. fancied an adventurous life as a teenager

d. realized that London was the best place to live in the world

3. The speaker’s attitude towards Jane’s decision to pursue her dream is ________.

a. critical

b. neutral

c. negative

d. positive

Script:

Two years ago, Jane had a well-paid job, and an active social life. But it wasn’t the life she had dreamed of as a teenager. At 35, she thought life was passing her by and she decided to change things. She had always wanted to travel round

the world, so she gave up her job and set off to follow her dream.

The journey took her through Europe and Africa. And it was in Tanzania that she met John, an American who taught in a school there. John was like no other man that she had ever met, and she fell madly in love with him. After two romantic weeks together, Jane continued her journey to India, but then she decided to fly back to Africa.

Six weeks later, Jane and John were married. Now they live in London. Jane was very happy that she made that decision to follow her dream. But for that she wouldn’t have met so many wonderful people, or seen so many interesting places. Most of all, she wouldn’t have met the man of her dreams.

Part B

Pre-listening Task

Questions for Discussion

You are going to talk about your dreams and the realization of them. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.

1. What did you dream of becoming when you were a little child?

2. What is your big dream at present? What do you want most in life?

3. How great are the chances that you can realize this dream?

4. What are you going to do to make this dream come true?

5. What do you think is the most important factor in realizing one’s dreams?

6. Are opportunities important to the realization of one’s dream?

Demo:

5. What do you think is the most important factor in realizing one’s dreams?

I think among many factors, the most important one is determination. You have to be able to follow your dreams regardless of any obstacles. If you have a sound enough reason “why” you are doing something, you will be more determined in accomplishing it. Great determination can help you face tough situations with courage and perseverance. It makes you move along the path you’ve chosen no matter what stands in your way. No dreams can ever be realized without determination.

Additional Question for Discussion

What does the expression “the American Dream” mean?

Demo:

We often hear about the American Dream. We know that Americans value the ability to start with a dream and then realize that dream through one’s own efforts. I guess the American Dream would mean different things to different people. However, in most cases, the dream would be associated with success in one’s life or career. It can be the better quality of life or a notable achievement. The efforts towards that end may include an education to improve oneself or hard work to earn money. In a word, the American Dream is a person’s hope to achieve a good life in America.

Language Focus

Here are some sentences and structures that you might find useful in discussing the above questions.

When I was young, I wished to become a world-famous scientist / great novelist / poet / astronaut / movie star / pop singer …

At present, I wish to find a job I dreamed of / I’m really interested in / related to my major / offering a handsome salary.

I wish I can take / acquire / obtain / receive a master’s degree

/ PhD.

What I want most in life is someone that really cares for me /

a house of my own / a good jo

b …

I want to devote my life to changing my home town into a

prosperous one / taking care of orphans and homeless children / setting up my own business.

I never doubt / have little hope that my dream will come true

some day.

My chances of becoming a … are very good / quite slim.

I’m afraid I don’t stand much chance of becoming a …

Perseverance is most important if you want to make your dreams come true.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

The hardest thing is to keep pursuing one’s dream in spite of difficulties.

In pursuing a dream, one must keep a balance between one’s strong wish for the dream to come true and the realities of one’s abilities and circumstances.

I think it is wise to be realistic / not to aim at something that

is beyond you.

Talent and a bit of luck are all you need to realize your dreams.

Talent alone is not enough; you must be quick to seize the opportunities available to you.

Opportunities favor a prepared mind.

Script:

Larry had always wanted to become a movie star. His hopes for success were dashed again and again, however. Hollywood just did not seem interested. But Larry refused to admit that his chances of getting into movies were practically nil. Someday, he told himself, his big opportunity would come.

To keep body and soul together, Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood’s big restaurants. The pay was basic but since the guests were quite generous with their tips, he managed to make a living.

One day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car. Larry had recently heard that the man was making a new picture.

Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it. Then he stopped, jumped out and ran over to the director. “Excuse me, sir, but I think it’s only fair to tell you that it’s now or never if you want me in your new picture. A lot of big companies are after me.”

Fascinated by Larry’s abrupt statement, the director stopped. “Yes? Which companies?”

“Well,” replied the would-be star, “there’s the telephone company, the gas company, and the electric company, to mention only a few.”

The director laughed, then scribbled something on a card and handed it to the young man. “Come and see me tomorrow.”

Larry got a small part in the director’s next film. He was on his way!

Language and Culture Notes

1.Hollywood

center of American film industry located in the northwest part of Los Angeles, California

2.Hollywood just did not seem interested.

Directors at Hollywood did not want him to act in their movies.

3. he found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood’ big restaurants

Larry found a job as a valet (车管员) at a big restaurant in Hollywood, parking cars for its customers. Expensive restaurants usually provide valet parking service for their customers. Valets like Larry park customers’ cars for them when they arrive and bring their cars to them when they leave. Customers are supposed to give tips for the service.

4.it’s now or never

an emphatic way of saying that something must be done immediately because if you miss the chance, it will never come again

5. A lot of big companies are after me.

This sentence can be understood in two ways: 1) A lot of important film companies are interested in me; 2) A lot of utility companies (referring to gas, electricity, telephone companies, etc.) are pressing me to pay their bills. Here Larry cleverly exploited the ambiguity in the sentence to impress the

film director. The director was amused by Larry’s sense of humor when he realized the real meaning of the sentence.

It was open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. My first job was shining shoes for customers when I was six years old. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me ten pounds a week. He said, "OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring your friends here for free drinks?" He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.
