Alice: I work six days a week. My shift is from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. I’m on my feet all day long. It’s a very active job. Most of my customers are nice. I try to be friendly to everyone, but it’s difficult sometimes. My customers give me good tips. That’s nice. Diane: I’m very punctual —actually, I can’t be late! You know what they say, “The show must go on!” I like being on stage. Something always happens, though. During the show last we ek, the lights went out. I couldn’t believe it! You definitely have to be flexible.

Mimi: My students are eight years old. I have to be careful about what I say and do. They are always watching me and copying my behavior. I’m like a big sister. The kids ha ve a lot of energy. I need patience in this job, that’s for sure!

Man: So, I see here that you went to college.

Camille: Yes, sir. For two years. I didn’t graduate.

Man: Do you speak any languages besides English?

Camille: Yes, I speak conversational French.

Man: Any other languages?

Camille: No, that’s it.

Man: Well, that’s great. As you know, we fly to Paris twice a week. We always need people who can speak French. Let’s see … have you worked for an airline before? Camille: No. I have no job experience.

Man: So, this would be your first job.

Camille: Yes.

Man: Well, I only have two more questions. Are you healthy and physically fit? Can you lift heavy objects?

Camille: Yes, I think so.

Man: Well, the emergency window exit on the plane weighs about 50 pounds. And the meal cart is very heavy, too. You need to move those objects sometimes. Camille: I think I can do that.

Man: Wonderful. Let me tell you about the next step. We have a six-week training program that takes p lace in the summer. You have to …

I plan to become a teacher after I finish my studies. I decided to study at this university because the teaching program is very good. We have a lot of practice working with children.

Mr. Grant: Hello, Ms. Hale. I’m Mr. Grant, the advertising manager for the compan y. Do you have a résumé or curriculum vitae to give to me?

Ms. Hale: Yes, Mr. Grant. Here it is.

Mr. Grant: Thank you. Now, let me tell you a little bit about the job. We need someone to design brochures on the computer. Do you have up-to-date computer skills?

Ms. Hale: Yes, I do. In my present position I use computer graphics all the time. I have experience with animation as well.

Mr. Grant: Oh, that’s very good. We hope to launch a new group of animated ads next spring. Can you work with others in a pleasant manner, Ms. Hale?

Ms. Hale: My co-workers seem to think so. I can also work independently by myself. Mr. Grant: That’s necessary, too. What about flexibility in working long hours on a project?

Ms. Hale: I have a lot of energy and I’m willing to get th e job done. The work I did last year won two awards at a national conference.

Mr. Grant: Excellent. That’s very impressive. By the way, did I mention that we need someone to start next week?

You’ve never met Melissa Hayes, and you don’t know her name, but you know her voice. Melissa records information messages for the telephone company. When you he ar “The number you called has been changed …” —that’s Melissa!

“Yes, it’s true,” she says. “I’m the voice talent for National Telephone.” At least 50,000 people hear her voice every day. “I try to sound warm and friendly, even when I’m saying, I’m sorry, that number is incorrect. Please try again.”

Melissa works only three days a week, but she has to practice a lot. “My voice has to sound the same at the end of eight hours.” She’s very careful about her voice. “I don’t go outside in cold weather, and I hav e to drink lots of hot water with honey. I can’t go to horror movies because I always scream, and I might hurt my voice!”

How did she get her job? “A friend told me about it. I listened to all the telephone company messages on my phone, and then I recorded a cassette of those messages. After I sent it to the company, I called them every day for a month!”

She’s done this work for three years now, and she loves it. “It’s fun! And I’m helping people by using my voice.” Plus, people are always surprised when th ey hear about Melissa’s job. They say, “You’re a real person? I thought it was a computer!”

Interviewer: I want to be a V. J. How do I get the job?

Ken: Well, first you have to make a videotape about yourself. You need to talk about certain things on the video. In my case, there was a list of questions, like “What did you do last weekend?” and “What’s in your CD player right now?” After you talk about yourself, you send the videotape in to the TV station. They call you if they like the tape.

Steven: I drove across the desert as the sun was setting. It was incredible! Interviewer: I want to be a car courier. How do I get the job?

For me, the most suitable job is desktop publisher. That’s because I can type and spell very well, and I’ve got excellent computer skills. Although I cannot currently design with a computer, I am a fast learner and could brush up my skills on the job.

Audio Track 4-4-15

Conversation 1

A: Do you know how to type?

B: I know how to type, but I’m not very good at it. I get bored easily, having to sit at a desk for a long period of time.

A: Well, what are you good at?

B: I’m an excellent cook. I coo k for my friends all the time.

A: Great! Would you say you are good with people?

B: Sure. I’m often told I’m a good listener.

A: In that case, you would be most suited to the role of personal home care assistant. Conversation 2

A: Can you cook?

B: I can cook, but I dislike doing it. To be specific, I dislike doing the washing up afterwards.

A: Are you good at using computers?

B: I am very capable. I can type really well. I’m fast and accurate.

A: Great! Are you able to design with a computer?

B: Absolutely, I took some graphic design courses in college.

A: I think it’s obvious. The role you are most suited for is desktop publisher. Conversation 3

A: You are interested in sport and fitness, right?

B: It sure is. I’m an expert yoga teacher. I’ve been taking my own class for quite a few years now.

A: Well, I guess you’re good at encouraging others?

B: I sure am. I’d say I’m good at motivating others, giving them encouragement.

A: Well, there is no question about it. You are most suited to the role of a fitness instructor.

Audio Track 4-4-16

1. Teachers must be able to encourage others to learn. They must also be observant and able to identify and solve their students’ problems.

2. Being a flight attendant is not as glamorous as it looks. You are always on the move. You travel to many places but you don’t have time to visit and enjoy the sights.

3. It goes without saying that accountants must be good with numbers and very analytical. They also need good memories, so they can remember the laws of financial reporting.

4. Obviously, a computer programmer needs to excel at computing. In addition to this, they need to be able to follow instructions well.

Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse — it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy. Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

Jay: It's called "The Titanic of the Sky." It's about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat. Elise: The Hindenburg ... Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing. Jay: Right. It's so funny looking, don't you think? It doesn't look anything like the airplanes as have today. Elise: That's true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg "man's greatest achievement in flight." They thought it was safe, I guess. Elise: Who rode in it anyway? Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a "flying hotel." Eise: It sounds pretty great. Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That's why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster. Elise: Why didn't they just take a jet plane? Jay: Elise! You know they didn't have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy. Elise: Well, maybe I'll sit down and watch a little bit.

T r a c k4-1-O L-4 Listen to another person talking about famous buildings in his country and fill in the blanks with information you hear. My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country. T r a c k4-1-O L-5 A. Listen to a talk on controversies about modern buildings. Then fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. Modern buildings: We love them, We hate them The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn't enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building's center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake. Kyoto, Japan, is the country's ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city's traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.
