M: OK, here's my story, I was about 18 months old I think and I had just started to say my first word. Every time a truck went by, I would shout a word that sounded like a track, but to everyone else, it sounded nothing like it. My parents tried to correct me, but failed. Then, about three months later, we traveled to New York, as we were waiting for our plane at the air?port. I looked out of a huge window, at that very moment I saw the largest truck in the world, I had to tell someone about this. I turned to my father who was standing next to about a thousand people waiting for the very flight and screamed "Track! Track!" My father tried hard to shut me up, but I was so excited, I kept screaming my special word. My poor mother decided she didn't know this baby and then ran into the ladies-room where she hid until I finally stopped. Well, I learned how to say truck correctly, and soon I was talking like a normal child. However, my parents will never forget the very first word I produced in my life., Question: What is the first word the baby tried to say?

How's your little boy, has he started school yet? Ross: Oh, yes, he's in the second year now. Fisher: What, already? Doesn't time fly! Is he enjoying it? Ross: Very much, it's much more fun than being home! Fisher: Haha. Well, I suppose we'd better make a start. Shall we get down to business? Ross: Right. First of all can I confirm the time and date of the presentation? It's Saturday 24 October in the morning. What time exactly? Fisher: Well, on the invitations we've sent out we've said that the presentation itself will start at 11 and go on till 12:30. Ross: So you'll need the room from about 10 till 2. Would you like us to serve coffee beforehand? Fisher: Yes, yes--and drinks and snacks at the end. Ross: Better to have buffet lunch? Fisher: No, I... people who are invited won't be expecting a free lunch. They might think that's overdoing it. They'll want to get back to their families, as it's Saturday. Ross: All right, the normal pre-lunch snack buffet will be what you need--that's basically the same as what you had last February. Fisher: Oh, that'll be fine. Ross: OK, well, we'll charge for the room, coffee and snack buffet at the standard rate less 15%, as we agreed. And we'll charge for the drinks served on a pro-rata basis. Fisher: Free, fine, yes. Ross: What type of... um.., equipment, furniture would you like? Fisher: Well, let's have.., um... four.., no, no... five tables for our display. Er... we'll bring our own stands. Now, there's an overhead projector and sound system already in the room, I believe? Can you get someone to check that before we come, you know, to see that it's working? Ross: Oh, of course, the technician will be with you when you're setting everything up. Oh, the seats in that room have flap-over desk tops, will that be all right? Fisher: Yes, yes, that's fine, sure. Ross: You say you've sent out the invitations, any idea how many people there'll be? Urn... I think you know there's... the capacity for the room is about 50, but 40 is ideal. Fisher: Yes, ah... the problem is that we won't know exactly how many there'll be until shortly before. Ross: Can you let me know definitely by Thursday? Fisher: Mm... no. But I'll have a rough idea and we'll budget for the number I give you then. We've sent out 100 invitations... Ross: 100?! Fisher: Yes, well, in theory that meant that there could be 200 people. Ross: Yes, but the room won't... Fisher: But of course, haha... I don't expect more than about 30 to come. Ross: But what if they do? This room is the only one we have that day--there's a wedding reception in the banqueting rooms, so we...

[EX Q]: M: Mary, have you ever wondered why some cultures have more proverbs than others? For example, the Mayans, the Incas, and the North American Indian tribes seem to have fewer proverbs than cultures like, the Arabians, and the Chinese. I wonder why this is. W: What would you say about our ... our own culture? Would you say we're a culture that's rich in proverbs or one that lacks proverbs? M: I think we, we have a rich heritage of proverbs - the Benjamin Franklin maxims, proverbs, wise sayings have been handed down to us. W: Well, I think the fact that we're no longer creating proverbs today maybe says something ... maybe perhaps explains to some extent why proverbs in certain cultures were not as extended or extensive as in other cultures. M: Mm, hmm. That's true. I wonder why we are not creating as many proverbs as we did in 1700s and 1800s. I agree with you. I don't think there are nearly as many. I can't think of any. I'm sure there are some, but I wonder why this is so. W: Yeah, well, I think we all know a great many proverbs. If we sit down, we can think of some that we can ... we can list. But we don't seem to use them to explain things. We find many times that they're used too much and too simple - too general. Today we're much more sophisticated, you might say, and analytical, and therefore we don't use proverbs to explain things the way, say, our grandfathers and parents did. M: Life is too complicated now to just quote a simple proverb to take care of things. W: Right, and maybe to some extent that's why the North American Indians and the Mayans among others don't have as many proverbs. At least there's no record of as many proverbs. Since their own culture ... their traditions were highly eroded and they were wiped out during this era of change. M: Well, that's interesting., Question: What are the two speakers discussing?
[EX A]: | How proverbs are created.

I love teaching children but I needed a change. Also I've been drawing and painting since I was little but I've never really had the chance to study drawing. So this seemed like the perfect opportunity to have a change and learn to draw properly. M: Well, I found a fantastic art teacher, called Omayma, and I've been having classes with her since October. She's great and she speaks English, which is lucky, because I don't know much Arabic yet. But I'm learning the language as quickly as I can. W: Is Arabic a difficult language to learn? M: Incredibly difficult! Especially the pronunciation. You have to learn to make a lot of new sounds., Question: What does the woman want to do for a change?
answer:
| Learn to dance.

Jack: Peter, people around the world come to America to live, work and study, so to understand America in terms of its cultural differences is very important. Peter: I couldn't agree with you more, Jack. Americans are much more assertive than most foreigners. For example, Americans begin a discussion with a focus on accomplishments and concrete facts. Jack: You're right. America is a rather individualistic society, with less social pressure to conform. So you will need to become more assertive and to speak out on your own behalf. Peter: Another aspect of American behavior is Americans are more guarded about personal space. So when you are talking to an American, don't stay too close. This personal distance is not due to body odor or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy that is out of proportion to the relationship at the moment. Jack: Yes. Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking. Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances. So don't put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary. Peter: In many cultures, eye contact is a sign of disrespect, which is not the ease in America. In fact, it is an indication of openness, honesty, and enthusiasm., Question: According to Peter, eye contact is not an indication of ______.
openness

[EX Q]: M: I think we'd better go over my schedule, Irene. I'm going to have a look at our European operation, as you know, and as I'll be visiting a number of countries, I'd like you to make the bookings. W: Right, Mr Buck. I'll take down the details. M: Well, I'm leaving on Tuesday, April 15th, for London. I'm going to attend a sales conference for our British representatives. That runs through Wednesday and Thursday, and then there's a reception at Canada House on Thursday evening. W: Are you going to meet the Ambassador, then? M: I guess so. But the main thing is that on Friday morning, I have a meeting with the British Minister of Trade and Industry. We're going to discuss the site of our new plant in Scotland. W: So when are you leaving for Paris? M: First flight on Saturday morning. I'm planning to meet my wife there. She's going to fly over direct, arriving in the afternoon. Then we'll have a relaxed weekend before I see Mr Chambery, the European Manager, on Monday. So from Paris on, I'll need a double room. W: How long are you going to stay in Paris, Mr Buck? M: Only till Monday evening. I'm going to Rome to see our plant there on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I'm due in Madrid to inspect the new factory. W: And that's the last item on the agenda. So when are you coming back? Are you going to fly from Madrid? M: Yes, on the first plane out on Thursday. We must be back on Friday, the 25th. It's my daughter Sharon's birthday., Question: Where is Mr Buck going to see Mr Chambery, the European Manager?
[EX A]: In London.
[EX Q]: M: Good morning, Miss. I'd like to speak to the manager. W: I am the manager, Sir. How can I help you? M: Oh, really? It's this radio. It doesn't work. W: Mm... did you buy it here? M: What do you mean? Of course I bought it here. Look, you switch it on and nothing happens. W: Could I see your receipt? M: Receipt? I haven't got one. W: Oh, you should have got a receipt when you bought it. M: I perhaps did. I must have thrown it away. W: Ah, well, have you got any other proof of purchase, the guarantee, for example? M: No. It must have been in the box. I threw that away, too. W: Oh, dear. You really ought to have kept it. We need to know the exact date of purchase. M: What? I only bought it yesterday! That young man over there served me. Oh, I paid by cheque. I've got the cheque stub. W: That's all right then. Did you check the radio before you left the shop? M: Check it? No, it was in the box. I hoped it would work. It wasn't a cheap radio. It's a good make. W: You should have checked it. M: Come on! Do not tell me what I should have done, and do something! Either give me my money back or give me another raido. W: There's no need to get aggressive, Sir. Let me look at it... mm... you see this little switch on the back? M: Yes? W: It's on "main", and it should be on "battery". You really should have read the instructions. M: Oh!, Question: What is wrong with the radio?

Q: M: Hi, Claire. How does it feel to be back on campus? W: Hi, Gee. Well, to tell you the truth, I have mixed feelings. M: Oh, why? W: I have this great summer job that I really hated to leave I worked at the wild life research center in Maryland. M: That makes sense for a genetic major. What did you do? Clean the cages? W: This is a wild life center, not a zoo. This place breeds endangered species and tries to prepare them for life in the wild. M: You mean the endangered species like the tiger and the panda? W: Well, endangered species, yes. But not tigers or pandas. I work with whooping cranes and sandhill cranes. I taught the baby crane how to eat and drink, and I help the vets to give medical check-ups. M: I can see it was hard to leave that job. But how did you teach a bird how to eat and drink? W: We covered ourselves up with cloth and used puppets made out of stuffed crones to show the baby chicks what to do. Then the chicks copied what the puppets did. M: Cloth? Puppets? Sounds like fun. W: It was. The cloth and puppets are the key tools. We all covered ourselves up, the scientists, the vets, the junior staff, everybody. You see, baby cranes will become attached to their caretakers. M: So if the caretaker is a person, the crane will stay in places where people are. W: Yeah. And their chances for survival aren't very good. But by covering ourselves and using cloth and puppets the chicks are more likely to seek out other birds rather than people. And their transition to the wild has a better chance of being successful. M: A chance of being successful? Hasn't this been done before? W: It's been done with sandhill cranes and everyone is optimistic about its work with whooping cranes too. M: If this works, it should increase the number of cranes in the wild. W: Yeah. It's exciting, isn't it?, Question: What was the woman's job?
A: Counting wildlife.

How about going out that night? W: I'm afraid I can't. I'm watching a movie with Nancy at 7:00. M: Are you going to the last class party on Friday night? Let's go out for dinner at 6:30 before the party. It doesn't start until 8:00. W: There will be a dinner at the party. I love to eat, but I can't eat two dinners. M: There's always Saturday night. Are you busy then? W: No ... Saturday night I'm free. M: I'm going to a disco with a group of friends. Do you want to join us? We can dance together.

I really want to get this job. M: It looks fine to me. But I have one suggestion. W: What is it? M: If I were you, I'd change the beginning. You should write about your education first. W: Good idea, Jack. What do you think about the second part? M: Well, I'm afraid it's too short. You should include much more information about your work experience. W: You're right. I'll change it., Question: What is the aim of the woman's letter?

SOLUTION: He is in hospital.
PROBLEM: W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard? M: See what? W: In the paper. It says, there is a man going around pretending he's from the electricity board. He's been calling at people's homes, saying he is coming to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea, and while they are out of the room he steals their money, handbag whatever and makes off with it. M: But you know, Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you're expecting them. W: It's all very well to say that. But someone comes to the door, and says electricity or gas and you automatically think they are OK, especially if they flash a card to you M: Does this man have an ID then? W: Yes, that's just it. It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper the police are warning people especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them she'd just been to the post–office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot. M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description. W: Oh, yes they have.

W: Oh! I am glad to see you. How are you going recently? They say you took Introduction to Seience, didn't you? M: I sure did. Why did you ask me about that? W: Well, I'm thinking about taking it next year. I want to know something about it beforehand. M: As far as I'm concerned, I suggest that you not take it. W: Why not? Is the professor awful or is the lecturing boring? M: The professor is nice enough. But the course is nothing but physics and chemistry with lots of equations. You can't just mix the right chemicals and watch what happens. As you go along you have to keep care notes and turn it all into a bunch of numbers and formulas after the experiment is over. It was the worst course I've ever taken. W: What you say is no problem for me. To tell you the truth, [ like formulas and numbers. That's what I'm different from you. M: Is it? Then you'll love it if it is the case. But all that I was interested in was biology and we didn't get to that till the last three weeks of the class. What a year!, Question: What is the name of the course the man and the woman are discussing?
Physical chemistry.

Now, solve this: W: It was exactly two years ago that we moved to this town. You started working on your degree, and I started working down at the lab. M: It seems like only yesterday. I suppose that I am so busy that I don't even notice how time passes. W: I'd expect the opposite. I mean, the way you've been studying, working on experiments and writting dozens of papers. It might seem more like four years than two. M: Haven't you ever noticed how time seems to crawl when you have nothing to do? But how time flies when you are busy with what you really like to do? W: That's true. Those days when there was not much to do at the lab didn't ever seem to end. M: Just wait a little longer. As soon as I finish my degree, we'll open our own chemistry lab., Question: What will they probably do soon?
