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)
4 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.
London's red buses and
they especially love to go on the
tube!Unfortunately, my wife isn't as fond of them
as I am. My son and daughter love to ride on
looking in the clothes shops and I like all the
crowds and the noise. I also like to buy a few
cigars. my family. We take a weekend break there
when I am not too busy on the farm. My wife loves
don't get the chance to go very often. I go about
twice a year, usually when I go to London with I
love movies. My wife c
alls me a “movie
fan”. But there isn't a cinema in my village so I
