Unit 1 Lifestyles


Warm-up


Tapescript


1
Football
player:
Being
famous
isn’t
easy,
you
know.
I
travel
a
lot
–

I
have
matches
in different countries.
But my job is
exciting,
very exciting! I
love
the matches,
the people cheering, know what I mean?


2 Student: My dad says these are the best days of my life
–but I’m not so sure!
You know, I’ve got lots of work to do and there’s not much time really. I also
play football for the school team and we have to do training three nights a week.


3 Shepherd: I
love the animals and I love nature. It’s peaceful, and there’s no
one to tell me what to do. But it’s not so good when the weather’s bad!


4 Business manager: I’m very busy, and I don’t have time to see my husband
and
children.
Mmmm
and
my
life
is
very
stressful,
I
suppose.
I
mean,
I
have
to
deal
with lots of money. But I find it really exciting.


1 A Perfect Day?


A Couch Potato


Forty-three-year-old Brian Blakey from Birmingham is sitting on his sofa and
telling me about his perfect day.


When I wake up I don't get up immediately. I turn on the television and watch
the children's programmes and old movies
until
about half-past
ten.
Then I get up,
go downstairs and switch on the TV in the living room. For lunch, I have biscuits
and a glass of milk, and I watch the news. In the afternoon, I often watch another
old film
–
they're showing some good ones at the moment. In the evenings, I often
watch TV series or sport and the news again. I like the main news at six o'clock.
At nine thirty, if there is a good play on BBC 2, I switch over and watch it. Then
at night, I watch more films and I usually switch off the TV at about two o'clock.
I never watch TV all night.

I watch TV for sixteen or seventeen hours a day. I also do some exercise every
day. I take Tina, the dog, for a walk every afternoon. I don't go far, of course.
I walk to the wall outside my house. I always take my portable TV and I sit on the
stone wall while the dog walks round in a circle.


Of course, I couldn't live this lifestyle without a good wife. She's not here
now
because
she's
working,
but
she
always
makes
my
meals.
We
haven't
got
much
money,
you
know,
but
we're
happy.
Sit
down
and
watch
TV.
Here's
the
remote
control.
You've
got the world at your feet. And in your hand. Great!


A Workaholic


Thirty- six-year-old
Bob
Black
is
sitting
at
his
desk
and
working
his
way
through
his
paperwork.
I
normally
wake
up
about
five
minutes
before
my
alarm
clock
goes
off.
As
soon
as
I
hear
my
alarm
clock,
I
jump
out
of
my
bed.
It
takes
me
less
than
fifteen
minutes to wash, get changed, have breakfast, leave home and get on a bus.


I
am
always
the
first
person
to
get
to
the
office.
The
mornings
are
always
very
busy and the afternoons are even busier! Meetings and phone calls take up a large
part of the day. Every minute of the day is filled with urgent matters. By around
eight o'clock, I usually find some time to do my own paperwork and answer some
personal e-mails.


When I get home at about ten, I look at some documents that I bring back from
the
office
so
that
I
can
be
ready
for
the
next
day's
work.
I
get
to
bed
around
midnight
when my wife and children are already asleep.


I seldom have time for fun and other activities with my family. My family
complains about it.


But I try to work hard so that I can make more money for them. Besides, I get
bored if there's nothing to do. I like being busy.


2 Relaxing

Tapescript


Presenter: Good morning and welcome to Lifestyles. Today we're going to look
at stress
–
what causes it and what we can do to relax and prevent it. We have in
the studio Dr Klinsmann, an expert on stress. Good morning, Dr


Klinsmann.


Doctor: Good morning.


Presenter:
Dr
Klinsmann
…
er
…
what
kinds
of
people
often
suffer
from
stress?


Doctor: Well, anybody can suffer from stress. There are certain jobs that are
very stressful, like some jobs in business or the police. But, probably everyone
suffers from stress at some time in their life
–
students, doctors, factory
workers
–
anybody.


Presenter: But, what really causes it?


Doctor: There are different reasons. One
is time and the
pressures of work and
study. At school, for example, students can become very stressed when they have a
lot
of
homework
to
do
and
they
feel
they
haven't
got
enough
time
to
do
it
all.
Other
reasons can be social
–
if you have a problem with your family or friends or at
school.
And
it
has
something
to
do
with
the
person
–

if
you're
shy,
social
situations
like parties can be very stressful too.


Presenter:
And
what
can
you
do
to
stop
stress
and
worry?
Because
stress
is
very
bad for you, isn't it?


Doctor:
Yes,
it
can
cause
a
lot
of
health
problems.
But
to
answer
your
question,
there are lots of things you can do to reduce stress. You can organise your work
or
studies.
For
example,
you
can
make
a
list
and
do
all
the
important
things
first.
You must eat well
–
have a good diet
–
and of course do exercise often. Finally,
you
can
talk
to
people
about
your
problems
–

talk
to
a
friend,
someone
in
your
family
or, if you're studying, talk to a teacher. You can also do special exercises.
