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.
Presenter: Can you describe
some of these …
Tapescript
Mark:
Things I find stressful. Well, I really hate …
mm …doing exams. Mm, I get very nervous the
night before, you
know. And I can't sleep, you
know what I mean I'm also shy and
I don't like
going to parties very much. I prefer meeting
people
in small groups, you know. Ah, there's
another thing – in
French lessons I can't
stand talking in front of the class, er,
I get
nervous and mm, make lots of mistakes. Things I
find
relaxing Well, mm, I like a lot of
things. I love talking to
my friends. And when
I'm tired and want to relax I enjoy
listening
to music and I also like reading. Ah, I quite like
sitting and doing nothing!
3 A
Volunteer Teacher
Tapescript
I: Good morning and welcome to the
show. This morning, I have
Wang Shu here in
the studio. She's going to tell us about her
plan for the future. Good morning, Wang
Shu.
WS: Good morning.
I: Wang
Shu, tell us about your plan, please.
WS:
I'm going to work as a volunteer teacher in a
small
country town in Inner Mongolia.
I: Really You must be excited!
WS: Oh
yes, I'm really excited about it. (Section 1)
I: But why did you make this decision
WS: Well, I've just graduated from university.
As a teacher,
I feel it's my duty to do
something for students in poor areas.
I:
But life in Inner Mongolia is very hard and quite
different from that in Beijing. Are you
prepared for that
WS: Yes, I know life
there will be especially hard for me.
You
know, I'm the only child in my family and I've
always lived
in Beijing. So, teaching in Inner
Mongolia is going to be a great
challenge for
me. Maybe it will be very cold and maybe I'll only
have a small room with a bed and a
basin to wash up with but
I really enjoy
meeting new challenges. That's why I made the
decision to go. (Section 2)
I: What
are you going to do there as a teacher
WS:
I'm going to teach middle school students. I'll
have lots
of lesson plans to make and homework
to mark. I'll be very busy.
I: What do
your parents think of your plan Do they support
you
WS: To tell the truth, they didn't
like the idea when they
first heard about my
plan. But we had a long talk, and I finally
won their support.
I: And when are you
leaving
WS: The train leaves at 9 tomorrow
morning. So I'm getting
up at about 6 to get
everything ready. The new school term begins
the day after I arrive. I can't wait to meet
the students there.
They are said to be very
good students.
I: I'm sure your parents
are proud of you, and I believe
you're going
to have an exciting year. We're going to open our
phone lines now. If you have any
questions for Wang Shu, dial
555-6782 and
she'll answer them for you. (Section 3)

City and Country
Debbie is an accountant
in a large company in the centre of
London. I
need to be in my office by nine o'clock so I
usually
get up at seven o'clock. I travel to
work on “the tube”. That's
what people call
the underground in London. It takes about fifty
minutes. Usually, it's so crowded that I can't
find anywhere
to sit. I just stand. I'm always
tired before I arrive at work.
I don't like
the underground!
I spend all morning
checking numbers. Lunch is always simple.
I
often get a sandwich in a nearby sandwich shop or
I just have
some biscuits and a cup of coffee.
Then in the afternoon, I
return to the
paperwork in the office.
On Monday nights,
I have dance classes, and on Wednesday
nights,
I go to the gym. I need to do that because I don't
get
enough exercise otherwise. On Tuesday and
Thursday nights, I
have French classes. I work
for a French company so I think
studying
French will help me in my job.
I go
to the cinema almost every weekend. Sometimes, if
the
weather forecast is good, my friends and I
drive to the
countryside for a weekend break.
We like to visit nice, quiet
places far away
from the city and go walking where there are
no shops, crowds or the tube. That fresh air
is so good for my
lungs. I love it.
Paul lives in a small village in the north of
England.
I usually get up at four o'clock
every morning when it's
still dark. I live and
work on the farm so I don't need to travel.
After a big breakfast in my house, I walk out
of the front door
and I'm already at work.
There are many things to do on the farm all
day. We don't
have the same work hours that
office workers in the city have.
We do jobs
when they need to be done and that could be early
in the morning or late at night. I have cows,
sheep, pigs and
chickens on my farm. I have to
make sure they are free of
sickness. I also
grow wheat and vegetables so there are many
things to look after.
In the evening,
I like to play with my children. I have two
children, a boy and a girl. They are six and
eight years old.
I also like to study.
Right now I am studying Chinese by distance
learning. I am very interested in China and
it's my dream to
see the Great Wall one
day.
I love movies. My wife calls me a
“movie fan”. But there
isn't a cinema in my
village so I don't get the chance to go
very
often. I go about twice a year, usually when I go
to London
with my family. We take a weekend
break there when I am not too
busy on the
farm. My wife loves looking in the clothes shops
and I like all the crowds and the noise. I
also like to buy a
few cigars. Unfortunately,
my wife isn't as fond of them as I
am. My son
and daughter love to ride on London's red buses
and
they especially love to go on the
tube!
