Unit 1 The Straight Story

Video 1 transcript

Talia:It’s all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford… No, that’s the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has

framed him. A nd I believe he’s innocent.

[Knock on door]

Talia:Look, Mom. I have to go. I’ll call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye. Nick:Hi. I came as soon as I could. What’s up?

Talia:I’ve been thinking about this all day… Now tell me, again: When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?

Nick:I’ve already told you. She came up to me at the juice bar. We set up a meeting.

Talia:Right. At her office. Except you never went up to her office.

Nick:Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands, and she takes me to lunch. Talia:Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recall.

Nick:Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.

Talia:Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.

Nick:Right. And she explains that I’ll have to wear t he shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.

Talia:OK. Can you think of anything else?

Nick:Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial.

Talia: A commercial? What commercial?

Nick:I told you about that, didn’t I? They wa nted me to be in a commercial.

Video 2 transcript (1’48’’)

Talia:Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I want to hear more about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important.

Nick:OK. So, over lunch she describes t he deal…

Jackie:So, you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.

Nick:Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?

Jackie:Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.

Nick:Cool!

Jackie:In fact, I’m working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you want to hear about it?

Nick:Sure.

Jackie:OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day. Nick:So far, so good.

Jackie:OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, “Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?”

Nick:Uh-huh.

Jackie:And you say, “That’s me.” Or something like that.

Nick:Right.

Jackie:And then the ki d says, “Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?” And you say, “Kicks. What else?”

Nick:That’s it?

Jackie:That’s it.

Nick:So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid?

Jackie:That’s all you have to do.

Talia:That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lunch. Then she edited the tape so it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe.

Nick:Oh, wow!

Unit 2 A Hot Lead

Video 1 transcript

Talia:Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story. Tony:Come in. What’s going on?

Talia:I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn’t take a bribe. It just sounds that way.

Tony:Well, what does your audio expert say?

Talia:I forgot to tell you. It’s definitely Nick’s voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited. Tony:But I don’t get it. Who’s behind this?

Talia:One of Nick’s teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick’s shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.

Tony:Of course! The bottom line is… being the s tar is worth a lot of money in endorsements. Talia:Still. I can’t imagine…

Tony:OK. So, now, what’s your plan?

Talia:I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.

Tony:Fine. You can have another day on this and we won’t run the story yet. But one more thi ng, Talia, I hope you’re not emotionally involved in this story.

Talia:Me? Emotionally involved?

Tony:I know you wanna clear Nick’s name. But if you wanna have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.

Amy:I’m trying to get hold of someone named Jackie Bishop. I was told that she’s a member of this club.

Patty:Hmm. She used to be, but not any more. She stopped coming here a while ago. Maybe a year ago, even.

Amy:Oh. Too bad.

Patty:Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I remember seeing him yesterday, around lunchtime. Maybe you could speak to him.

Amy:Actually, I’d rather avoid seeing him. It’s a little complicated between him and me, if you know what I mean.

Patty:Oh, I see. Well, here’s an idea. I think Jackie’s taking acting classes over at the university.

Maybe you could catch up with her there.

Amy:She’s taking acting classes at the university?

Patty:Mmm-hmm.

Amy:Ah… Yes… That’s a great idea. Thanks for the tip.

Talia:True. But Nick, I …

Nick:Wait, Talia. I have to tell you how I feel.

Talia:OK. Go ahead. I’m listening.

Nick:I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way. I know how important your career is to you.

Talia:What are you talking about, Nick?

Nick:What I’m trying to say is, I want to spend more time with you. I don’t want you to move.

Talia:Good. Because THIS is where I’m moving.

Nick:Huh?

Talia:THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer. Nick:So in other words ... I just made a fool of myself.

Talia:No. As usual, you were just being honest. It’s one of the qualities I like most about you. Unit 11

A: You'll never believe what happened to me at school today.

B: Ooh, what?

A: Dana, OK. I like Dana normally.

B: Yeah. That's what I thought.

A: But she got furious at me today. She got totally mad.

B: What did you do?

A: It was just ridiculous why she got mad. Somebody at... in the office rearranged the all the mailboxes because, they, you know, we have more, different people working there now so that had to re-alphabetize all the mailboxes.

B: Oh, OK.

A: So I went to the office, just, you know, as I always do in the morning, I grabbed my mail, I thought that was my mail, but I grabbed Dina's mail. So I took it to my office and just laid it down because I had a bunch, I had a bunch of things to do. And,...eh, so Dana couldn't find her mail. When she found out I had it, she went ballistic on me.

B: Wait a minute, how did she even know that you had it?

A: Well, I don't know how she figured it out. I mean, my mailbox is right next to hers. So I think what she did was, she went and saw Frank. Frank didn't have it. And she came to me. And I looked at my mail. It was on my desk. I said: “Oh, I've got your mail. Sorry about that, Dina.” And she went crazy. S he got really mad at me. And I apologized. I said: “I am sorry. It was just an accident.” But, you know ...I don't get it sometimes.

B: That is ridiculous. She must have been having a bad day about something else.

A: Maybe that is it.

B: You know, because nobody gets that angry over mail.

A: Well, not usually. But she was really mad. I apologized. She, you know, she got her mail ...and ...

B: Did she calm down?

B: Oh, that will be great! Have a place where we can keep it so it's not in the way any more.

A: Exactly!

B: I love that idea!

A: And clear out all the crap! Won't that be great?

A: OK!

B: All right.

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. Maybe I'll learn something ... Tr a ck 4-1-O L-2 B. Listen again. How was the zeppelin described? Check your answers. Track 4-1-OL-3 A. Listen to the conversation and check the correct picture. Jack: I think we should buy a bigger car. Big cars are safer. Kayla: Yes, but on the other hand, they consume more oil. Jack: They also look really cool. Kayla: That's true, but there are some SUVs which are not big but also very beautiful. Jack: And 1 think big cars are more fun to drive. Kayla: But then again, it's very expensive. Jack: Well, let's get more information about several kinds of cars, okay? 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.
