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.

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.
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!
