2 Conversation

A Listen and practice.

Chris: Do you have a date for the party yet? Kim: Actually, I don’t ……Do you think you could help me find one?

Chris: Hmm. What kind of guys do you like? Kim: Oh, I like guys who aren’t too serious and who have a good sense of humor. You know ... like you.

Chris: OK. What else?

Kim: Well, I’d prefer someone I have something in common with – who I can talk to easily. Chris: I think I know just the guy for you. Bob Branson. Do you know him?

Kim: No, I don’t think so.

Chris: Let me arrange for you to meet him, and you can tell me what you think.

B Listen to Chris and Kim discussing Bob after Kim met him. How did Kim like him?

Chris: So, what’s the Verdict? What did you think of Bob?

Kim: Well, I was worried at first especially when I saw that he wears not one but

two earrings, I thought he might turn out to be one of those guys who are into heavy

rock music and stuff like that. You know what I mean?

Chris: But he’s just a regular kind of guy, right? Kim: Yeah, we got along really well!

Chris: I just knew you’d like him.

Kim: Yeah, I do, and he’s really funny. He had me laughing hysterically

during dinner. I think the people sitting next to us in the restaurant thought we were crazy.

Chris: So, are you two going to get together again?

Kim: Definitely, in fact, we’re going to a concert tomorrow night.

Chris: That’s great.

Listening What are they like?

B Listen to conversations about what the people above are like.

Write down two adjectives for each person. How similar were your guesses?

1. Andrea

A: So, have you seen Andrea lately?

B: Yeah, I see her pretty often. We work together at a café latté.

A: How’s she doing, I’ve been meaning to call her.

B: Well, to be honest! I’ve always thought she’

s a little difficult. But these days, I find her impossible.

A: What do you mean?

B: Oh, you know how she is. She has such strong ideas about everything. If you don’t agree with her she lets you know what she thinks of you. A: Yes, that’s true. But that’s why we love her, right?

B: Yeah, I guess so. But she’s changed a lot since she started college.She talked about herself all the time and she always manages to mention how good she is at everything she does.

A: Hmm. Maybe I won’t call her after all. 2. James

A: Are you going to James party on Saturday? B: Of course, James always gives the best parties. And there are always lots of interesting new people to meet.

A: That’s true. I don’t know where he manages

to find them all.

B: Well, you know what he’s like. He makes friends very easily. He really likes talking to people, and he loves inviting people over.

A: Ur –Ur, he invited me for dinner last Saturday, what a feast!

B: Yeah, he’s a great cook too.

A: After dinner I offered to help clean up, he told me not to worry about it. He said he’d take care of it in the morning. He was like. It’s nothing, no big deal.

B: Yup, that sounds like James.

3. Mr. Johnson

A: Have you met the new apartment manager? B: Mr. Johnson? Hmm. Yeah, I met him last week. He’s… a little strange.

A: Yeah, he is. I’m not sure I like him. He’s hard to predict. Sometimes he’s pretty cheerful and talkative,

and the next day he doesn’t even say hello. I think he must have personal problems or something. B: I think you’re right. And have you noticed that half the time when he says he’s going to do something, he never actually does it? He told me three times he’d come to fix the light in my kitchen, and he still hasn’t done it.

Unit 2

Career moves

A listen and practice.

Tracy: Good news! I’ve found a summer job! Mark: That’s great! Anything interesting? T: Yes, working at an amusement park. Doesn’t that sound fantastic?

M: Sure, it does.

T: So, have you found anything?

M: Nothing yet, but I’ve got a couple of leads. One is working as an intern for a record company –mostly answering phones. Or I can get a

landscaping job again.

T: Being an intern sounds more interesting than landscaping. And it’s probably not as hard! M: Yeah, but a landscaper earns more money than an intern. And you get a great tan!

B Listen to the rest of the conversation. What is Tracy going to do at the amusement park?

M: So what will you be doing at the amusement park, exactly?

T: Actually, I’ll have two jobs. First, I’ll be working at a place called Children’s World. They have all kinds of interesting games and educational activities for young kids. I have to go to a training program for three days before I start to find out how everything works.

M: Three days? Wow, the equipment must be pretty high-tech!

T: Oh, it is – a lot of computers and interesting devices. It’s just the kind of stuff that kids love.

United 2 A plan to build the world's first airport for launching commercial spacecraft in New Mexico is the latest development in the new space race, a race among private companies and billionaire entrepreneurs to carry paying passengers into space and to kick-start a new industry, astro tourism. The man who is leading the race may not be familiar to you, but to astronauts, pilots, and aeronautical engineers –basically to anyone who knows anything about aircraft design –Burt Rutan is a legend, an aeronautical engineer whose latest aircraft is the world's first private spaceship. As he told 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley when he first met him a little over a year ago, if his idea flies, someday space travel may be cheap enough and safe enough for ordinary people to go where only astronauts have gone before The White Knight is a rather unusual looking aircraft, built just for the purpose of carrying a rocket plane called SpaceShipOne, the first spacecraft built by private enterprise. White Knight and SpaceShipOne are the latest creations of Burt Rutan. They're part of his dream to develop a commercial travel business in space. "There will be a new industry. And we are just now in a beginning. I will

Chapter 9 Lecture: Public Education: Philosophy and Funding Most young people in the United States, like most young people around the world, attend public school. Indeed, young people in the U.S. have to attend school because education is compulsory, in most states to the age of sixteen or until the students reach ninth grade. A small percentage of American youth attend private schools, wither religious or secular schools, but the vast majority attend public schools. One distinguishing feature of U.S. public education that surprises many foreigners is that although there are some standardized examinations, there is no nationwide curriculum set by the government ministry of education determines the curriculum that all students study and the examinations that all the students take at a set time. Of course, U.S. students follow a curriculum, and they take examinations as all students do. Although the federal government does influence public education by providing funds to schools for special programs such as education for the handicapped and for bilingual education, the federal government does not determine the curriculum or the examinations. Today I’d like to talk about the three levels of control within each state and then spend some time discussing where the money for education comes from and three issues related to funding. Control of education in the United States is mainly exercised locally at three levels. Let’s begin with the state department of education. The department of education of each of the fifty states has two basic functions. First, each state department of education sets basic curriculum requirements for all the schools in its state. For example, a high school might require four years of English, three years of math, two years of social science, and so forth. The state also sets the number of credits a student must complete in order to graduate from a high school. This total number of credits includes both required courses and electives. So much for the state part in education. The second level of control is the school district. The number of school districts a state has depends on the size of its population and the size of the state. A large metropolitan area would have several school districts. A smaller community might have only one district. Each school district is run by a school board that is elected by the citizens of the district. The school district is responsible for the specific content of courses taught in its schools. In other words, the school district determines what the students will study in each of their, let’s say, four years of high school English. The school district also decides what electives will be available for students. Besides determining course content, the school district is responsible for the operation of the schools in its district, for example, the hiring if teachers and administrators. The third level of control is the individual school itself, where teachers have primary responsibility for deciding how to teach the content of each course and for preparing and giving examinations to the students. Local control of schools may seem very strange to some of you, but it will seem less strange if you consider how public schools in the United States are funded- that is, where money to run the schools comes from. Only about 7 percent of the money comes from the federal government. The rest of the money comes from state and local taxes. The percentages supplied by the state and by the local districts fluctuate over tome and from state to state. Currently appropriately 49 percentage of school funding comes from the states and about 44 percent comes from the local communities, that is, the school districts. Finally, I’d like to discuss three issues related to the funding of schools that have been receiving a lot of attention recently in the United States. The first issue deals with the

Book 2 Chapter 1 The Population Today we’re going to talk about population in the United States. According to the most recent government census, the population is 281,421,906 people. Now this represents an increase of almost 33 million people since the 1990 census. A population of over 281 million makes the United States the third most populous country in the whole world. As you probably know, the People’s Republic of China is the most populous country in the world. But do you know which is the second most populous? Well, if you thought India, you were right. The fourth, fifth, and sixth most populous countries are Indonesia, Brazil, and Pakistan. Now let’s get back to the United States. Let’s look at the total U. S. population figure of 281 million in three different ways. The first way is by race and origin; the second is by geographical distribution, or by where people live; and the third way is by the age and sex of the population. First of all, let’s take a look at the population by race and origin. The latest U. S. census reports that percent of the population is white, whereas percent is black. Three percent are of Asian origin, and 1 percent is Native American. percent of the population is a mixture of two or more races, and percent report themselves as “of some other race”. Let’s make sure your figures are right: OK, white, percent; black, percent; Asian, 3 percent; Native American, 1 percent; a mixture of two or more races, percent; and of some other race, percent. Hispanics, whose origins lie in Spanish-speaking countries, comprise whites, blacks, and Native Americans, so they are already included in the above figures. It is important to note that Hispanics make up percent of the present U.S. population, however. Finally, the census tells us that 31 million people in the United States were born in another country. Of the 31 million foreign born, the largest part, percent are from Mexico. The next largest group, from the Philippines, number percent. Another way of looking at the population is by geographical distribution. Do you have any idea which states are the five most populous in the United States? Well, I’ll help you out there. The five most populous states, with population figures, are California, with almost 34 million; New York, with 21 million; Texas, with 19 million; and Florida, with 16 million; and Illinois with million people. Did you get all those figures down? Well, if not, I’ll give you a chance later to check your figures. Well, then, let’s move on. All told, over half, or some 58 percent of the population, lives in

Obese state workers to be charged more for health insurance Overweight is definitely, definitely a problem issue for a lot of people, me being one of them. Those extra pounds add up to health care cost. State officials say that the leading causes of preventable death are tobacco use, lack of exercise and an unhealthy diet. There has been a shift upward in terms of the percentage of members who have signs of disease. Starting in July of next year, the state will put those tar-heeler employees who smoke on a PPO basic 70-30 plan. In July of 2011, those who have a body mass index of 40 or more will be put on the same limited coverage too. I understand that no one likes to be singled out; however, that is willfully choosing ill health. Most people agree with the penalties for smokers. A lot of companies have already started instituting similar policies. It's the plan for obese-state employees that has everyone talking. I honestly think that is completely ridiculous, that, um, to charge somebody more for their weight, I don't see what that's even constitutional, to be honest. You need to take many different things into consideration for that it could be, um, just an illness. The States have preventable diseases, like diabetes and heart disease, increase health care cost astronomically. These conditions that we are both seeing on now, um, are too, um, that have some the greatest impact on cost of health care. The State believes giving folks an incentive to stop smoking and lose weight will not only save their lives, but also the tax-payer money. In Ashville, Charu Kumarhia, News 13.
