Text 1
W: My mother sits in front of the TV for hours every evening.
M: Well, TV has that effect on a lot of people. It takes people away from reading, talking and walking.
Text 2
M: Amy, could I use your bike?
W: I’m afraid you can’t use it now. I am using it in 10 minutes.

Text 3
W: I want to buy a new dress for Betty’s party.
M: But you’ve got at least 50 dresses.
W: 50? Don’t be silly. I haven’t got anything to wear. Come on.
Text 4
M: I plan to give Mum a surprise by making a coffee table for her birthday. I’m trying to do it without
making a noise.
W: That’s going to be difficult when you start working.

Text 5
W: Bob, can we really afford a holiday now? We’re paying for this house and the…
M: Listen, Peggy. You work hard and I work hard. There’s nothing to worry about.

Text 6
M: Have you seen Mr. Li?
W: No, I haven’t. Is he looking for me?
M: Yes, he is. He wants to talk to you.
W: To me? About what?
M: There’s an opening in the sales apartment. He wants to talk to you about it.
W: Oh, that’s great! What kind of job is it?
M: He hasn’t told me exactly. But it will be a better job than this.
W: Thank you for your help.
M: Don’t thank me yet! He hasn’t talked to you and he hasn’t chosen you for the job yet.
W: I know.

Text 7
W: Where are you from?
M: Australia, from Sidney. I was at university, you know, I just finished and, er… I thought I’d go off
around the world for a bit.
W: What a long way to come! You have a long holiday, I suppose.
M: Well, I finished my studies, you know, and have found a job in a shipping firm. But I have three

months’ holiday before I start work. So I thought I’d just take some time to go around the world. If I
need money, I just work where I am, you know, mainly teach English to young children. I used to work
in a school and I like children. But at the moment, I’m just having a holiday, wonderful here. I first
arrived in Europe a couple of weeks ago. I went to France and, er, I came around… er… through
Britain and I went right across to Japan, and then Korea. Now, here I am, in China.
W: Wonderful! You must tell us all about your travels, ‘cause we’re all very interested. I’ll be working
in a foreign trading firm soon. That’ll help me learn something about other countries.
M: Well. There’s not much to tell, really. But I can show you photos and postcards.
W: But… um... listen. Maybe, if you’d like, you can come to my home and have supper with us and,
er…
M: Oh. That would be lovely.
W: Well, you can tell us all about your stories and we can make you a very nice meal. How about that?
M: That would be wonderful. A wonderful Chinese meal! A real Chinese meal! How lovely that’d be!
Wonderful!
W: Good!
Text 8
W: Did you hear Jackie’s going to work in another department? We need to have a really good party so
that we can send her off really well. So, what shall we do?
M: Well, why don’t we have a surprise party, Maggie?
W: That’s a good idea. We could go to the Holiday Inn Hotel.
M: That’s too expensive. Maybe we can ask Carrie to make a cake.
W: Yeah, let’s do that. Perhaps we could just give the party in the office and put up some balloons.
M: That’s great. I think we should also buy a really big card, a huge card, and we should get everybody
to sign it.
W: Shall we have some music?
M: I was thinking exactly that myself. But…
Text 9
M: How are your home-stay families chosen?
W: We have special requirements that our families must meet before they are invited to have our
international students. We require that the families live within a reasonable distance of the school, have
enough living space for the student, and live in a clean, safe and comfortable area. We also work with
families who enjoy having international students. We try to match each student with a family as best we
can.
M: If I stay with a home-stay family, what should I expect?
W: The family will treat you as a guest, and you will be expected to obey house rules. All families
provide a single or shared room and a choice of meals. In most cases, students will be expected to share
the bathroom. Experience has shown us that living with a family is the most interesting and effective
way to learn the language. Remember, your home-stay family will have different customs and habits
from what perhaps you are used to. Meals will be prepared by the family. All home- stay families are
within 30 minutes’ travelling time of the school. The smaller the city, the less time it takes to reach the
school.

Good morning, children and parents. Welcome to the Neighborhood Children’s Club. To celebrate
the end of the school year, we prepare for the children all kinds of gifts, such as sweets, chocolates,
bookmarks and pencils. To increase the fun, we’ve hidden them for the children to find around this
building.
Here’s the information you need to know. First of all, we need all children to put your names down
at the desk at that corner, because they’ll be divided into age groups. You haven’t done it yet, please do
it now. Then, if you’re ready, pre- school children will be going out of this front door and we will
encourage their parents to go with them. Outside this door, you will see flags as the marking for your
area. There will be some helpers to direct you. If you are in the first to third grade, you’re going right
outside that back door to search in the yard. The parents of this group are welcome to go with the
children, but maybe your children don’t need you. Finally, the fourth graders and I, the three of you,
please follow me down the hall through the double doors and to the other side of the building where
you’ll be going to look for your gifts. There are over 200 gifts around this building, and it should be
plenty for everyone.
