Unit 10

Task 1

【答案】

million, 170,000, three, exercise, unhealthy, salt, sugar, vegetables, habits

【原文】

Heart disease kills more than a million people in the world every year. In Britain alone 170,000 die from the disease annually. There are three main reasons for this: smoking, a bad diet, and not taking enough exercise. Many people travel to work by car, bus or train and then sit down at work all day! The food they eat is unhealthy and they eat too much. In a typical British dish of sausages, chips and beans there is too much salt and too much sugar — an important ingredient in tinned food — and there are not enough vegetables. And there is not enough fiber in most meals. There are too many deaths from heart disease. We can reduce that number, but we have to change our habits.

Task 2

【答案】

A.

1) 60, 400, 25, 100, sugar, flour, powdered

2) 45-55, 180, with

60ml golden syrup 400g canned pears (drain and retain juice)

25 g glace cherries 100g margarine

100g sugar 2 eggs

150g flour l 0ml powdered ginger

a little milk

Method

This is a popular favourite with the family. Grease a 20 cm round cake tin. Heat the syrup and pour into the tin and cover the base. Arrange the pears and glace cherries in the syrup. Cream the margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and finally stir in the flour and ginger. If the mixture is stiff add a little milk. Pour the mixture over the fruit and cook until golden brown and firm to the touch. Turn the pudding out onto a serving dish.

Task 3

【答案】

A. 1) F, 2) T

B.

1) Their idea of a good meal is a hamburger, served with ketchup and French fries.

2) Because they often have little space for tables and chairs. Many people buy their hamburgers and take them home to eat, or eat them in their cars.

【原文】

The younger members of most American families don’t like foreign food. They like

hamburgers. Their idea of a good meal is a hamburger, served with ketchup and French fried potatoes, which are called French fries. French fries are not considered foreign; most American children and teenagers love to eat them any time of the day or night.

Millions of hamburgers and French fries are eaten every year. Thousands of roadside restaurants prepare and sell them. These are not really restaurants in the usual sense; they often have little space for tables and chairs. Many people buy their hamburgers and take them home to eat, or eat them in their cars.

Sometimes it is not necessary to go inside in order to buy the hamburgers. They are ordered through a window in the restaurant and then are handed out through the window to the waiting customer. Sometimes the customer does not even have to get out of his car.

When an American family travels abroad, this is almost always the custom that the younger members of the family miss most.

Task 4

【答案】

1) No. They don’t like anything but hamburger.

2) Ground sirloin is more expensive than ground chuck, but it has less fat.

3) She mixes the salt and pepper and onions with ground beef.

4) A patty is a flattened ball.

5) Because it will make the hamburger tough. They will be hard and tough.

6) Rare, medium, or well-done.

【原文】

Mrs. Wong: Have you tried cooking Chinese fried rice?

Mrs. Adams: Yes, I made it last Saturday, just the way you told me to make it.

Mrs. Wong: How did it taste?

Mrs. Adams: Not as good as yours, but we all liked it. All except my teenagers. They don’t like anything but hamburgers.

Mrs. Wong: Oh, hamburgers! My children keep asking for hamburgers. I get so tired of hearing about hamburgers!

Mrs. Adams: I know what you mean. I get tired of making them.

Mrs. Wong: How do you make them? I suppose 1 should learn how.

Mrs. Adams: They’re very simple, compared to your food.

Mrs. Wong: What kind of meat do you buy?

Mrs. Adams: Some kind of ground beef. I usually ask for either ground sirloin or ground round steak. It’s more expensive than ground chuck, but it has less fat.

Mrs. Wong: How much do you buy?

Mrs. Adams: A pound makes four big hamburgers.

Mrs. Wong: What do you mix with the ground beef?

Mrs. Adams: I just add a little salt, some pepper, and sometimes a little chopped onion. Some people don’t like it with onions, but 1 do.

Mrs. Wong: So you mix the salt and pepper and onions with the ground beef.

Mrs. Adams: Yes, and divide the mixture into balls. Then make the balls into patties.

Mrs. Wong: What is a patty?

Mrs. Adams: You just press down on a ball and make it flat. Patties are flattened balls. If you want to get more than four patties out of a pound of meat, just make the patties thinner.

But don’t handle the meat too much.

Mrs. Wong: Why not?

Mrs. Adams: Because it will make the hamburgers tough. They’ll be hard and tough.

Mrs. Wong: Then I suppose you cook them on top of the stove.

Mrs. Adams: Yes, in a hot frying pan. Put some butter in the pan and let it melt. Then put the hamburger patties in.

Mrs. Wong: How long do you cook them?

Mrs. Adams: That depends on how you like them. Some people like them rare— red inside. Mrs. Wong: I don’t like them rare!

Mrs. Adams: If you like them medium or well-done, cook them longer.

Mrs. Wong: Then you put them between pieces of bread.

Mrs. Adams: Most people use special rolls. You put the hamburger inside the big roll, and serve it with ketchup and pickles. I let my family spread ketchup on their own hamburgers,

if they want it.

Mrs. Wong: Is that all you need to do?

Mrs. Adams: That’s all.

Task 5

【答案】

A.

1) 4,700, ten, eleven

2) London, Paris, same, apple pies, coffee, Cola, orange drink, thick milk

3) white, cream, yellow, green

4) paper bags, thick paper cups

B.

1) F, 2) F, 3) T, 4) T

C.

1) In an ordinary restaurant you go to a table and sit down. A waiter or waitress brings you a menu and you choose your meal. Then you wait for the food. The waiter brings the food to your table, and at the end of the meal he brings you the bill. Then you pay for the meal and go home.

In a fast food restaurant you look at the price list in the widow or on the wall rather than a menu. Then you go to the counter and give your order. You don’t wait for your food. The staff behind the counter have special machines and special routines. They prepare the food very quickly and put it in boxes, cups or bags.

2) Because you eat it from the bag or box with your fingers.

【原文】

Do you want a good meal? Do you want a quick meal’? Then go to a fast food restaurant. There are now thousands of fast food restaurants in the cities of the world. One famous name is Harry’s Hamburgers. Harry’s Hamburgers come from America and they are 22 years old. There are 4,700 Harry’s Hamburgers in 25 different countries. In England the restaurants open at ten o’clock in the morning and close at eleven o’clock at night. They are open every day of the week and every week of the year. But they close on 25th December, Christmas Day. All the restaurants serve the same food. In London or New York, Paris or Madrid, people eat the same hamburgers, French fries and apple pie. And they drink the same drinks: coffee, Cola, orange drink or thick milk shake.

In an ordinary cafe or restaurant you go to a table and sit down. A waiter or waitress brings you a menu and you choose your meal. Then you wait for the food. Sometimes you wait for half an hour. That’s a long time. The waiter brings the food to your table, and at the end of the meal he brings you the bill. Then you pay for the meal and go home.

In a fast-food restaurant you don’t sit at a table and look at a menu. You look at the price-list in the window or on the wall, and choose your meal. Then you go to the counter and give your order. You don’t wait for your food. The staff behind the counter have special machines and special routines. They prepare the food very quickly, and put it in boxes, cups or bags.

Quarterpounder hamburgers come in white boxes, cheeseburgers in cream boxes, half-pounders in a yellow box and fishburgers in green boxes. They put French fries and apple pies in paper bags and serve all the drinks in thick paper cups. At Harry’s Hamburgers you pay for your meal before you eat it. The person at the counter takes your money and gives you your order. People often eat in the restaurants. They get their food on a tray and take it to a table. Fast food is finger food— you eat it from the bag or box with you fingers. After the meal you put your bags, paper cups and boxes in a big litter bin.

Many people don’t eat in the restaurants but take their meal away. They get their order in a strong paper bag and take it to their office, to a park or to their homes. But the food always tastes the same. Millions of people in the world eat it — and like i t. Harry’s Hamburgers sell mi llions of hamburgers in a year.

Task 6

【答案】

1) Two hamburgers, a cheeseburger, two small French-fries, a coffee, a cola and a chocolate milk shake. And it’s take-away.

2) Three pounds twenty-one pence.

3) They can find little packets of milk and sugar in the bag.

【原文】

Customer: Two hamburgers, a cheeseburger and two small French-fries, please.

Customer staff: Do you want drinks?

Customer: Yes, please. A coffee, a Cola and a chocolate milk shake.

Customer staff: Two hamburgers, a cheeseburger, two small French-fries, a coffee, a cola and a chocolate milk shake. And it’s take-away. That’s three pounds twenty-one pence

please.

Customer: Here you are.

Customer staff: Thank you. Here’s one pound seventy-nine pence change. And here’s your order.

Customer: Thanks. Is there milk and sugar for the coffee?

Customer staff: Yes, there is. We put little packets of milk and sugar in the bag.

Customer: I see. Thank you.

Customer staff: Thank you. Enjoy your meal.

Task 7

【答案】

1) Tomato soup for Sally and mushroom soup for Peter.

2) Sally orders roast mutton with mint, boiled potatoes and some Brussels sprouts. Peter orders roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with gravy, and some boiled cabbage.

3) They both have some apple tart and vanilla ice-cream.

4) Because both the food and the service there are excellent.

【原文】

Peter and Sally are having Sunday dinner together at a well-known restaurant in Bayswater. Waiter: Good evening, sir; good evening, madam. There’s a table for two over by the window.

This way, please.

Peter: Thank you. Could we see the menu, please?

Waiter: Certainly. Here you are, sir.

Peter: Thank you. Well, now, Sally, what do you fancy?

Sally: I think I’ll have some tomato soup first.

Peter: And I’ll have mushroom soup. Bring us some rolls and butter with the soup, please. Waiter: Yes, sir.

Peter: What kind of meat do you prefer, Sally? I see they have roast beef, pork chops, mutton and steak.

Sa lly: I’d like roast mutton with mint, please, and boiled potatoes. Some Brussels sprouts, too, please.

Peter: I’ll have roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with gravy, please, and some boiled cabbage. Sally: Afterwards, I’d like some apple tart and vanilla ic e-cream.

Peter: The same for me, please. (to Sally) What shall we have to drink, Sally? Some red wine? Sally: French burgundy is my favourite, you know.

Peter: All right. (to the Waiter)A bottle of French burgundy, please.

Waiter: Straight away, sir.

Sally: It’s nice to have a meal out for a change, isn’t it?

Peter: Yes, and this is one of my favourite places. Both the food and the service are excellent here.

6) soup, boiled, As for, sweet, sour, fried chicken, green

【原文】

Nick and David are walking through Oxford Street looking for a place to eat.

Nick: You Londoners certainly have a very cosmopolitan taste these days! It seems almost impossible to find an English restaurant here anywhere. Nearly every restaurant I see seems to be Italian, Greek, Chinese or Indian!

David: You’re right. These foreign restaurants have sprung up like mushrooms all over London and have become immensely popular with everyone. There can be no doubt that our eating habits have changed greatly in the past eight or ten years. Italian spaghetti, Greek kebabs and salads, Chinese chicken chow mien and Indian curries are all a normal part of a Londoner’s diet nowadays. In fact, we hardly ever think of such things as being foreign anymore.

Nick: This is true in the North of England and the Midlands, as well, at any rate in the larger towns and cities. But here in London, every nationality under the sun seems to be represented in a restaurant somewhere or another.

David: Yes. The big American hamburger and steak houses are very popular nowadays. Several Japanese and some Korean and Indonesian restaurants have come onto the scene recently, too.

Nick: That makes London all the more fascinating, doesn’t it?

David: That’s right. But most of these restaurants are rather expensive.

Nick: I hear that the Indian and Pakistani restaurants are the cheapest ones.

David: Yes, and the food is usually excellent. But there are plenty of good Chinese restaurants, too, where the prices are very moderate and the meals superb. The best ones are down in Gerrard Street, behind Piccadilly Circus in what we call “Chinatown”.

Nick: Why don’t we go to one of them now? Is Gerrard Street far from here?

David: No. We’ll just turn right here and go down Wardour Street through Soho. It’ll only take us about ten minutes to get to Gerrard Street.

Nick: Wonderful! I’m dead keen on Chinese food, you know.

David: Almost all the restaurants there serve Cantonese dishes, but there’s one that specializes in Peking cuisine.

Nick: Oh, here we are; I can tell by all those signs in Chinese that this is the street we’re looking for.

David: Yes. There are about twelve very good Chinese restaurants here. We’ll have a look at both sides of the street first and then decide on one.

Nick: I see that there are some Chinese supermarkets here, too.

David: Oh, yes. And there on the right is the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and just beside it, a Chinese cinema. Just around the corner here, in Newport Place, there’s the Guanghua Bookshop, where all sorts of newspapers, books, magazines, records and art from the People’s Republic of China are sold. I know the manager there well. We can go in a nd have a look after we’ve had lunch.

Nick: Good. Which restaurant do you recommend?

David: “The Far East” is my favourite. They serve both Cantonese and Pekinese dishes. Let’s go in.

Nick: What a colourful Chinese atmosphere here with all those red lanterns overhead and those beautiful pictures on the wall!

Waiter: Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Nick: This is fabulous, David; there a re more than 100 Chinese dishes listed here! You’d better do the choosing. I’m not acquainted with very many of them.

David: All right. (to the waiter) Two bowls of shark’s fin soup, two large bowls of boiled rice and two spring rolls. As for the mixed dis hes, we’ll have sweet and sour pork with pineapple, fried chicken with garlic sauce and peanuts and a bowl of sliced beef with green peppers. Waiter: What kind of tea would you like, gentlemen, English or Chinese?

David: Chinese jasmine tea, please. (to Nick) Can you eat with chopsticks, Nick?

Nick: Yes, but not very well.

David: Never mind, I’ll teach you how to use them properly. It’s as easy as ABC.

Task 9

【答案】

A.

1) Harvest Festival takes place in the autumn.

2) Because it started Christianity.

3) In the old days farmers kept some of the last corn and decorated it with flowers. They also made little dolls out of corn, which are called corn dollies.

B.

1) F, 2) T

【原文】

Harvest Festival takes place in the autumn. It is a very ancient festival which started before Christianity. At the end of the summer people always thanked their gods for the harvest. A good harvest gave everyone food for the winter. A bad harvest brought disaster. In the modern world rich countries can buy food from abroad, so there is always food in the shops. People do not worry about the harvest, but they still celebrate Harvest Festival. They decorate the churches with flowers, fruit and vegetables and have a special service. Many schools celebrate Harvest Festival too. Teachers and students bring food and flowers to decorate the school hall. After the Harvest Festival they take their harvest gifts to Old People’s Homes or to hospitals.

In the old days farmers kept some of the last corn and decorated it with flowers. They also made little dolls out of corn, called corn dollies. Each farm kept a corn dolly until the next year, to bring them a good harvest. Today people copy these ancient ideas for their Harvest Festival decorations. Past and present come together in this favorite festival.

Task 10

【答案】

A.

1) 18th century, hand, 1742, 1814

2) height, 1.5, 2, 2,000

B.

1) Mustard has strong yellow colour and hot taste. We can see it with salt and pepper on every good dinner table.

2) There are two main kinds of mustard, one with brown seeds and the other with white. They both produce a rich yellow “flour” and contain mustard oil. The oil form the brown seeds has a strong taste, and the oil from the white seeds is hot, like pepper. Good modern mustard is made from both kinds of seed.

3) One ton per acre in a good year.

Everyone knows mustard, with its strong yellow colour and hot taste. You see it with salt and pepper on every good dinner table. But where does it come from? How does it get onto our tables?

The Romans probably brought mustard to Britain, and farmers in eastern England have grown it ever since. Until the 18th century, people ground the seed by hand, but there have been special mustard mills since 1742. The largest firm in Britain started in 1814 and now exports mustard all over the world.

There are two main kinds of mustard, one with brown seeds and the other with white. They both produce a rich yellow “flour” and contain mustard oil. The oil from the brown seeds has a strong taste, and the oil from the white seeds is hot, like pepper. Good modern mustard is made from both kinds of seed. The mustard plant grows to a height of about 1.5 to 2 metres, and each seed can multiply itself 2,000 times in one season.

Jimmy Hazel has a 400-acre farm eight kilometres south of Norwich. He does not keep any animals, but grows several different crops: wheat, sugar beet, barley and mustard. He uses 10 percent of his land for mustard.

“The mustard seed arrives from the factory at the end of winter— one kilogram for each acre of land. I plant it in March and it usually flowers in June. The mustard fields always look very pretty, but I have to watch out for weeds and insects. When the plants begin to die, I check the seeds. They’re ready when you can shake them in the pod. In August or September we harvest our crop. With a combine harvester it takes about a day to cover the mustard fields. Then I send the seed to the mill, where they check it. If there are any weeds or wheat in the crop, they won’t take it. And I don’t get any money for it! In a good year I produce about 40 tons of mustard seed.”

【原文】

We all need food. We cannot live without it. What kinds of food do we need? Where does our food come from?

There are two basic kinds of food. One comes from animals and the other from plants. Meat comes from animals: we get pork from pigs, beef from cows and mutton from sheep. Lamb is the name for the meat from young sheep, or lambs. Fish from the sea is meat too, and we also eat birds like chicken, duck and turkey. We get other products from birds and animals too. Eggs come from chickens and ducks, and from cows’ milk people make but ter and cheese.

From plants we get fruit, vegetables and cereals. A lot of our fruit grows on trees: apples, oranges and bananas. Many small plants have fruit too, like the coffee plant. So coffee is really a fruit drink! What about tea? Tea comes from a plant, but it is not a fruit. We make tea from the leaves of a small plant, so tea is a vegetable. And what about tomatoes? “Tomatoes are vegetables,” people say. “No,they’re not,” say the scientists. “Tomatoes are really fruit.” Some kinds of vegetables grow under the ground. The potato is one example. Different kinds of grass also give us food, called cereals. Rice and wheat are important cereals. Millions of people in the world eat rice or make bread from wheat.

Where does our daily food come from? Some people grow their own food, but usually farmers produce our food for us. Different kinds of food come from different countries. Why? Because different plants and animals need different climates. Sheep, for example, have thick woolly coats, so they can live in a cool climate. You find sheep in countries like Scotland and New Zealand. Cows can live in any part of the world, but they produce more milk in cool climates.

Apples like a cool climate. They are the number one British fruit. But oranges need a warm, dry climate. So oranges grow well in the countries round the Mediterranean. Bananas like a lot of sun and rain, so they only grow well in the tropical climates of countries in Africa and South America.

Many different shops sell food. Bakers sell bread and butchers sell meat. You find eggs, milk, butter and cheese, rice, coffee and tea in a grocer’s shop. You can buy fish, fruit and vegetables from shops or in a street market. And, of course, there is one shop for everything— a supermarket. Remember, you must buy good food for a healthy life. Do you eat the right food?

Task 12

【答案】

1) He wanted to investigate the mysteries of the sausage.

2) Because everyone in a food factory has to keep clean and tidy and cover all the hair of the head. 【原文】

Announcer: We sent Tom Brown on a special mission. His destination—a town somewhere in Wiltshire and his task — to investigate the mysteries of the sausage.

Tom Brown: New York has the Empire State Building; Rome has the Colosseum; Paris has the Eiffel Tower and the Pompidou Centre. But Trowbridge, Trowbridge has Bowyers.

Yes I’ve come here to Trowbridge early on a gray January morning, to investigate a

topic close to my heart — or rather close to my stomach — something I can really

get my teeth into. Behind me is the Bowyers factory. I’m about to go through this

gateway of gastrono mic delights, to visit this Mecca of the meat pie. What’s going

on inside, I wonder? Are innocent sausages being frightened out of their skins? Are

meat pies doing their crusts? I’m going in to talk to Mr. Cook, the site manager, to

ask some important, probing questions. Why are sausages called bangers, for

instance?

Mr. Cook: No, I’m sorry, I don’t know. No, I don’t know, no.

Tom Brown: I’ve noticed that everyone in the factory seems to be wearing a different kind of white hat.

Mr. Cook: Well, everyone in a food factory has to keep clean and tidy and cover all the hair of the head. You will be putting on a hat such as the operators on the shop floor wear

which is a white peaked hat with a snood down the back to cover all the hair on your

head.

Tom Brown: Yes, I see it’s got a rather fetching hairnet at the back...

Task 13

【答案】

Judy thought that she would enjoy her first day on the job, but everything went wrong. First she overslept. She was so upset about that that she caught the wrong bus. She got to the soft drink factory at nine instead of eight thirty. Her new boss, who was a tall fat man, was very angry. He taught her what to do in a rush. All she had to do was watch a machine fill bottles with Cola. Then she pushed a button and sent the bottles to be capped.

At lunch, her boss sent her out to buy him a sandwich. She bought herself some fruit, but dropped it and stepped on it. By the end of the afternoon she felt hungry, bored and tired. And she never wanted to see another bottle of Cola in her life. The next morning she got to work on time and quit!

Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London. She wanted to see St. Paul's Cathedral. She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike. They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats. They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers. When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures. "They must be typical English gentlemen," she said." I have often read about them and seen photographs of them. They all look as if they are wearing a uniform. Does the typical English gentleman still exist?" Mr. Clark laughed. "I've never thought about it," he answered." It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen. But look at this." Mr. Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man. "He's just as typical, perhaps. It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman. Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England." “Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,”Gretel began to hum happily. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, w hat a great splash that would be!” Task 2

大学英语5听力上海外语教育出版社 lesson 1 partA problems facing foreign students Today I'd like to talk about some of the problems that students face when they follow a cource of study through the medium of English--if English is not their mother tongue. The problems can be divided into three broad categories: psychological ,cultural and linguistic. The first two categories mainly affect those who come to study in Britain from Asia and Africa.I'll come to comment only briefy on these two categories and then spend most of the time looking at linguistic difficulties which apply to everyone. some of the common psychological problems really involve fear of unknown: for example,whether one's academic studies will be too difficult.Looking at the cultural problems,we can see that some of them are very practical nature, for example , arranging satisfactory accommodation.Others are less easy to define.

Unit 4 Task 1 【答案】 A. 1) They are farms that grow vegetables for city people to eat fresh. 2) It’s a farm that grow plants and flowers to sell. 3) They protect the plants from the cold in the winter but let them get plenty of light, so the plants can be grown all through the year. B. 1) canned, frozen 2) flowers, garden plants, home gardens, yards, window boxes 3) buildings, furniture, firewood 【原文】 Grain, vegetables and fruits are found on most farms. All of them are food for animals and people. Grain can be fed to animals just as it is harvested. But before people use them grains are usually made into flour or breakfast cereal. Bread, macaroni（通心粉）, and cereals（麦片）all come from grain. Tomatoes, beans, potatoes, beets（甜菜）, lettuce（生菜）, carrots and onions are field and garden vegetables. Can you think of any others Vegetables are good for people and for some animals such as pigs and rabbits. Farms that grow vegetables for city people to eat fresh are called truck farms. Truck farms are usually close to big cities. Each day hundreds of loads of fresh vegetables are brought to stores on the farmers' trucks. Without the truck farmers people in cities would not eat well. And without city people who eat fresh vegetables, the truck farmers would have no work. There are many kinds of fruit. Apples, pears, peaches, cherries, oranges, grapefruit, and berries are a few kinds. You will be able to think of other kinds that you like. Most fruit is grown on specialized farms. But many general farms have some fruit to use and sell also. Like vegetables, fruit is sold fresh in markets. But a large part of both fruit and vegetable crops is sent to factories to be canned or frozen. In warm parts of our country farmers grow cotton, rice, tobacco, sugar cane（甘蔗）, and peanuts. Specialized farms raise flowers and garden plants. They are sold to florists（花商）and to families for home gardens, or yards, or window boxes. A farm that grow plants and flowers to sell is called a nursery（苗圃）. Most nurseries have glass buildings, called hothouses or greenhouses. The hothouses are heated to protect the plants from cold in the winter but let them get plenty of light, so they can be grown all through the year. Some farms grow only trees. Some of these are Christmas tree farms. Others are large forests where trees are grown for their wood. The wood is used for buildings, furniture and firewood. Some tree farms grow only nut trees.

第一部分 1.Woman: This is my family. I'm married. My husband's name is Bill. We have two children — a boy and a girl. Our little girl is six years old, and our little boy is four. Jennie goes to kindergarten, and Aaron goes to nursery school. My father lives with us. Grandpa's great with the kids. He loves playing with them and taking them to the park or the zoo. 2.Man: This is a picture of me and my three sons. We're at a soccer game. Orlando is twelve, Louis is ten, and Carlos is nine. All three of them really like sports. Orlando and Louis play baseball. Carlos is into skating. 3.Man: This is my wife June, and these are my three children. Terri on the right is the oldest. She's in high school. She's very involved in music. She's in the orchestra. Rachel — she's the one in the middle — is twelve now. And this is my son Peter. He's one year older than Rachel. Rachel and Peter are both in junior high school. Time really flies. June and I have been married for twenty years now. 4.Woman: This is a picture of me with my three kids.

Mary: Well, I know you said your old calculator was no good any more. John: Well, it wasn't that it was no good. It just wouldn't do all the things I need to do at work. And it certainly wouldn't remember telephone numbers for me like this one. Mary: I suppose you're going to start putting in numbers straightaway. John: I've put in one while we've been chatting. I've put in our solicitor's number. You know how often I need to call him on company contracts. Mary: So what others are you going to put in?
