Unit 2 A break for fun Listening to the world Sharing Scripts F = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc. Part 1 F: I love films. I love going to the cinema. I go at least once a week. How about you? How often do you go to the cinema? M1: Uh, on average, probably once a month. W1: I like going to the cinema a lot, but probably only get there about once a month. M2: Not very often. But I do go occasionally. M3: I go to the cinema, probably once or twice a month. W2: I go to the cinema about once a week during the summertime, usually when there are the best movies. M4: We probably go together, maybe once a fortnight. M5: I go, normally, probably once every month or two months, but it depends on the film. M6: I go to the cinema about once every fortnight. Often I’ll go on a Wednesday because we get “buy one get one free” cinema tickets, so I can take a friend with me. Part 2 F: What kinds of films do you like? W1: I always like romantic comedies. Slumdog Millionaire was a great movie. Australia was a movie I saw recently which was really good. M1: … probably recommend, er, the new Terminator movie. Er, that’s once again filled with action. Very exciting. M5: I like old films. I … I’ve a complete collection of John Wayne and Charlton Heston … And musicals, anything that’s quite happy or adventurous, that takes me away from real life. Those are the ones I watch. W2: I saw The Proposal not too long ago and I really liked it. It was really interesting; it was a really funny, romantic comedy. M3: Sweeney Todd. I really enjoyed with Johnny Depp – simply because he was fantastic; and Helena Bonham Carter, one of my favorite actresses, was also really good. M4: I’d recommend The Graduate. I enjoyed that as a young man and … and growing up as well. I think it’s a “coming of age” film. M6: My favorite film is called Golden Eye. It’s a James Bond film and I think the action scenes are just absolutely fantastic in it. Part 3 F: Who’s your favorite actor? M5: John Wayne’s my favorite actor. M6: My favorite actor is the new James Bond, er, Daniel Craig. I think he’s very good at showing emotions in his films. My favorite actress is called Angelina Jolie. She’s very beautiful, but she’s also played lots of different roles in films. M3: My favorite actor is Johnny Depp because I think he’s funny and I think he’s lively and he always has energy on stage. W2: My favorite actor is Brad Pitt. He’s very good-looking and he can play many different roles and he’s very talented. M4: My favorite film star’s Robert DeNiro because I look like him. Listening Scripts I = Interviewer Part 1 I: Hello and welcome to Fashion Now, with me, Dan Taylor. In today’s program, we ask the question, “What is beauty?” Do men today really like women with blonde hair and blue eyes? And do women like the James Bond look – tall, dark and very masculine, or do they like something different now? Are ideas about beauty changing? We went out to see what you really think … I = Interviewer; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc. Part 2 I: Excuse me, ladies. Do you have a moment? W1: Yes? I: Just a quick question. Research says that these days women prefer men with feminine faces … W1: Really? I: Yes. It’s true … honestly! W1: I don’t agree at all. I like masculine faces … I: Can I show you some photos? W1: Sure. I: So which of these guys do you like best? W1: Hmm, Sean Connery. He’s definitely the best-looking man here. And he’s tall, isn’t he? Yeah … I like tall men. And I like a man with a beard. I: Uh-huh. What about you? W2: Mm. I’m not sure. I like this one. What’s his name? I: It’s Gael Garcia Bernal. He’s a Mexican film star. W2: Yeah? Well, he’s got quite a feminine face and he’s very good-looking. I like his eyes – he’s got dark brown eyes and I like men with dark eyes and black hair. But I think it’s more in the personality … in the smile … so I like this one best. Will Smith. He’s got a really nice smile. I: Thank you. And here’s another lady. Excuse me. Have you got a moment? W3: Well … I: I’m doing a survey about the changing face of beauty. Can I ask you some questions? W3: Yes, OK. Yes. I: I’ve got some photos here. Can you tell me which of these people you like? Do you think any of them are good-looking? W3: Well, I don’t really like any of them … I: No? Er, well, so what sort of man do you like? W3: What sort of man do I like? Well, my husband’s over there. I think he’s goodlooking. I like his hair. I love guys with red hair. I: Which one? The one looking in the shop window? W3: No, he’s over there. He’s wearing a white T-shirt and he’s talking to … that blonde woman … Excuse me … I: And then I talked to some men to find out if they really prefer blondes – just like they did 50 years ago. Do you think it’s true that men prefer blondes, sir? M1: What? No, not at all! Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and ages. Look at this photo of Judi Dench. She’s lovely. She isn’t young, but she’s got beautiful grey eyes and she always wears beautiful clothes. She looks kind and intelligent. M2: Yeah, she does. But I still prefer blondes, you know … like Scarlett Johansson. She’s lovely … slim, blonde hair, blue eyes – that’s the sort of woman I like. M1: Scarlett Johansson, slim? M2: Well, OK … but she’s not fat. M1: No, that’s true … I: OK, guys. Thanks for talking to us … Viewing Scripts V = Voice-over; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc. V: All over the world, festivals bring people together. But why do people go? For the music? The food? The fun and games? We went to Bestival in the Isle of Wight, England to find out. But the first question is – where do we sleep? M1: I ... I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’ve got the key. V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden. M2: It’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday. V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents. There are a lot of different people here – families, young people, older people. We asked: Why do so many different people come to festivals? W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs. W2: People will respect each other and have ... um … sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes. M3: The thing I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups. V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music. This really is a festival for all the community, young and old mixing together. In the tea tent these women are having a great time. Why do they go to festivals? W3: The community getting together, the young mixing with the older people. We make cakes; we do pop festivals; we’ll go anywhere, do anything. V: So, if there’s one answer to the question, why are you here? One thing that everyone talks about is this: being together. Speaking for communication Role-play Scripts Conversation 1 W: OK … What do you feel like watching? M: Hmm. I … I don’t know really. What do you recommend? W: Um … Well, how about French Kiss? Do you know it? M: No, I don’t think so. What’s it about? W: Well, it’s a romantic comedy. It’s about an American woman. She goes to France and meets a French guy and … they fall in love. It’s quite old, but it’s really funny. M: Um, sounds OK, I suppose. Who’s in it? W: Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. M: Oh, I like Meg Ryan. Mm. Do you think I’d like it? W: Yeah, I think so. You like comedies, don’t you? And it’s very funny. M: Yeah, OK. Why don’t we get it then? W: Great. Excuse me. Can we have this one, please? Conversation 2 W: What was the last DVD you saw? M: Um, Let me think. Oh – I know, it was Speed. W: Speed? Is it new? What’s it about? M: No, it’s a bit old actually. It’s an action film. It’s about a bus and it can’t stop. It has to go at top speed or … or it explodes. It’s great! W: Right. Who’s in it? M: Sandra Bullock and … the guy is, the actor is, er … Keanu Reeves. W: Mm. Do you think I’d like it? M: Well, do you like action films? W: Mm … not really. I prefer romantic films and dramas. M: Oh, then I don’t think you’d like it … Er, well. Oh, I know. I think you’d like that French film, you know, with the actress Juliette Binoche. What’s it called? Oh, yeah: Chocolat. W: Chocolat? Do I know it? … Oh, with Johnny Depp? Mm! Now that is a good recommendation. Have you got the DVD? Group discussion Scripts Recently I went to a concert in the park with my boyfriend and some other friends. It was in City Park … We went because we all like the band, Double-X, and we listen to their music all the time. The concert only lasted two hours, but we took a picnic with us and went out early in the afternoon – it was a free concert, you see, so there were already a lot of people sitting out in the park in front of the stage. We got a really good place, close to the stage. We chatted and lay in the sun all afternoon … and then in the evening more and more people came and it got quite crowded. Then the concert started and well, it was … fantastic! Double-X is an amazing band … and better live! I really liked the concert because everyone was dancing and singing – we had a great time. Further practice in listening Short conversations Scripts Conversation 1 W: Why didn’t you show up at John’s party last night? He was expecting you. You know, he is leaving the city for good. M: I’m terribly sorry. I had planned to go, but I had to take care of an emergency. I tried calling him many times but couldn’t reach him. Q: Why didn’t the man go to the party? Conversation 2 M: I haven’t seen you around for quite a while. What have you been doing? W: I’ve been reading Shakespeare’s great play Hamlet. My literature professor required me to present a unique review about Hamlet for my term paper. Q: What has the woman been preparing for? Conversation 3 W: Which do you prefer, classical music or pop music? M: Neither. Have you ever seen me listening to music at all? You know, I don’t have an ear for music. Q: What does the man say about music? Conversation 4 M: I’m taking the minimum credits to graduate. Making friends, traveling, partying – these are what matter most to me right now. W: I’m not here to make friends or go to parties. I’m doing part-time jobs to save money to start my own company once I graduate. Q: What are the two speakers talking about? Conversation 5 W: Tom, have you read the notice on the school website? I’ve won the scholarship for next term. M: No surprise to me. You have earned it. While others are at parties, you are in the library. Q: What does the man mean? Long conversation Scripts M: After such a tiring week, I can’t wait to have a rest and relax a little this weekend. W: Me too, Mr. Simpson. So what are you doing this weekend? Looks like it’ll be nice weather for sailing. M: Yes, Mary, I hope it stays this sunny. I’m going out to the beach and spending all weekend surfing. W: You, sir? Surfing? M: Haha, I bet you think I’m too old for surfing! I’ve been surfing since I was 11, and it’s still my favorite activity. The cool blue waves, the smell of the sea, just take me back to when I was a teenager free from care. I forget all my troubles. By Sunday night, I fall into a deep sleep, sore and tired, without a care in the world. W: That’s really nice. I’m going to the beach, too. I love relaxing in the warm sun, watching my niece and nephew play in the sand and jump in the waves. They’ll tire themselves out building sand castles, collecting seashells, and trying to bury each other in the sand. M: Oh, I remember building sand castles with my brothers ... such great fun. How old are little Timmy and Monica now? W: Tim’s five and Monica’s three. M: Wow, kids grow up so fast! Q1: Why is surfing the man’s favorite activity? Q2: What is the woman going to do this weekend? Q3: What does the woman love doing? Q4: What does the man remember doing with his brothers? Passage 1 Scripts People in Britain enjoy various leisure activities including watching TV, seeing friends and relatives, listening to music, shopping, listening to the radio, gardening, doing sports, reading, and so on. The latest data from a survey show that in 2010, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent. Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television. The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife, animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their top activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending time listening to music was selected as their top activity. Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported less frequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening. Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in their free time? Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives? Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people? Q4: According to the survey, how are leisure activities related to age? Passage 2 Scripts and answers People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1) comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2) traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is 3) constantly “sold out” year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become 4) available. This outdoor festival, supported by a newspaper, takes place every April for one weekend. This year, about 70,000 people 5) took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6) attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7) audience question-and-answer period following each talk. A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8) free of charge. Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices of the food court. The idea for holding the festival in Los Angles was 9) put forward years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would people in this city 10) embrace one? “Fortunately, they do,” said one of the festival founders.
