第一节

M: Jenny wants to move to Houston and find a job there. But I think Boston is a better choice.

W: I hope she can work in Chicago with us. She's our only child.

W: I was in Moscow last week.

M: Oh, what were you doing there?

W: My best friend worked there. And I went to visit her. It was a good chance to practice my Russian.

W: Look! There is a large garden outside.

M: Yes, a great place to sunbathe in our free time.

W: But I'm afraid I have no time for it.

M: How long will we stay at the camp?

W: We will stay there for one night.

M: That means we will leave the camp on August 7th.

M: I saw you on TV yesterday. You were so good. You didn't look nervous at all.

W: Thank you. To be frank, when it was my turn to speak, I really had my heart in my throat.

M: The annual company picnic is on Saturday. We have booked a field on the Hatfield Farm. I'm expecting about one hundred people to come.

W: I hope the weather is better this year. It poured with rain all day at the picnic site last year. No one had a good time. We got so wet.

M: The weather should be good. I've checked the weather online and there is no rain expected this time. Anyway, bring a raincoat just in case.

W: I'm so worried about my daughter. She wants to get a driving license. What does she need to drive for? I mean — what if she gets into an accident?

M: But she's nineteen. Don't you think she's mature enough to start learning how to take care of herself, like driving herself to work or going shopping?

W: I'm worried about her being behind the wheel. I could drive her throughout the city, wherever she needs to go.

M: You know, you shouldn't be too strict with your kids and you have to let them be adults at some point.

W: OK, so with your studying and your part-time job, do you have time for any other interests or hobbies?

M: Well, I spend quite a lot of time cycling, both around town to get to university and to work, and also long distances from here to London, for instance.

W: That's impressive! Are you sure you'll have enough time for the Youth Council?

M: Yes. I managed to reduce my hours at work, and that will make the time.

W: So is there any particular aspect of the Youth Council's work that appeals to you, Roger?

M: Well, my sister is blind, so I'm particularly interested in working with disabled young people, to try and improve the quality of their lives.

W: That's great. I can arrange a meeting in the council office if you like.

M: Good afternoon, and welcome to City Hour, the radio show that brings you all the latest information about events in and around our city.Today we have with us, Cynthia Smith, who is heading up this year's city fair. Cynthia, would you start by giving us some of the basic information about the fair? Where will it take place this year?

W: Well, usually it was held at the Fairgrounds, but this year we've had to change the location due to some construction work. You know, they're building the new high school in their neighborhood and they've been using the Fairgrounds as a place to store construction materials. So we moved the fair to City Park, which I think is a wonderful location.

M: Yes, that will be a great place for the fair. It begins on Friday morning with a special opening event, right?

W: Actually, it won't begin until that evening. But you've heard about the special event. Traditionally we began with a speech but this year there will be a special dance performance.

M: Cynthia, could you tell our listeners about the price of admission? How much will it cost to attend the fair?

W: We are trying to keep the price down as much as possible. A three-day pass is just $25, or you can buy a Saturday or Sunday only pass for $15. But the opening event on Friday doesn't cost anything to attend and we're hoping a lot of people will come to watch that.

M: Hello everyone! I'm very happy to be invited to this programme today. I'd like to share with you my impression of Paris. Actually, there's something interesting to see in every corner of Paris: the old buildings, neighborhoods, and the historical sites. The weather's been great too, cool and dry. Lifestyle in Paris is different from that in the United States in some ways. The most obvious thing is that there are many more activities in the streets than in a typical US city. People gather together in open markets, cafes, parks, and squares. Then, of course, there's the food. Everything is fresher and better than at home. I've put on  five pounds since I arrived. But I'm still having a hard time with the language. People speak very fast and it's hard to get them to repeat things. And it's hard for me to make friends but I guess that can be true in any big city in a new country.
