City

Jeyong,Korea
I like living in cities more than the country because I like the crowndiness of people all busy walking around and especially like going to clubs, being with many people and talking to new people is something that I live very much.

Al,England
I think ideally I'd like to do both, so have, be rich and have a house in the country and and a house in the city and spend my weekdays in the country, in a stone house, and go to the city on weekends and party.

Joel,America
Well, I've lived in very big cities for most of my life: Tokyo, Bangkok, Los Angeles, and now is the first time ever that I've lived in the country and I'm finding that I like it a lot better. I have time to do things that I could never do in the city, like play guitar or even read the news, and I'm enjoying a peaceful lifestyle a lot more than the busy city life.

Martin,UnitedStates
If I wanted to live in the city or country, I'd have to saynowadays, in the city. I grew up in the country in a very small farm and it was kind of boring. I enjoyed the clean air and the wildlife around but it was boring. The city is much more exciting and a lot more to do and see and experience, so by and large, the city for me is the way to go.

Mitchell,UnitedStates
I would rather live in the countryside because I'm from the islands and andeverythings more peaceful, relax, and time seems to go by slowly. Compared to the city, it seems like every one is in a rush, moving around fast, trying to get things done as soon as possible, that's why I'd rather live in the countryside.

Shuan, Canada
I think that living in the city would be so much better than living in the country. I like being active, and I like going out so living in the country would be, I would think, boring, compared to the city.

Mid-life Crisis

Do you know what I mean when I say that someone is “middle-aged”? If you are “middle-aged” you are probably 40 years old or older. You have stopped being interested in pop music. You don’t go to night clubs any more. You have sold the motor-bike which you drove all around Europe a few years ago. You no longer share a flat with six of your student friends.

Instead, you are married, with children. You have bought a house in the suburbs. You lie awake at night worrying about the mortgage. You own a boring but practical car – aFord Focus perhaps. The car is full of the children’s things. They have left sticky sweets on the seats and empty crisp packets on the floor. You now play golf instead of going to football matches. Worst of all, your hair is going grey, and you have started to put on weight. (To put on weight” is a polite way of saying that you are getting fat!) Welcome to middle age!

Now, please don’t confuse “middle age” with the expression “the Middle Ages”. “The Middle Ages” means the period of European history from roughly the 11th century to the 15th century. In those times most people died before they were 40, so they never became middle-aged. Or perhaps they became middle-aged earlier than people do today.

Some people, particularly men, reach middle age and become unhappy and dissatisfiedwith their lives. The years seem to go by more and more quickly. Life has become boring. Yes, you have a well-paid job, but it does not feel like an exciting or worthwhile job. You have too many responsibilities. You want to be young and free again.

If you feel like that when you are middle-aged, we say that you are suffering from a “mid-life crisis”.

Examinations

Todd: Hello, Frederick.

Fred: Hi, Todd.

Todd: Frederick, we are talking about school and education and our topic now is homework. Do you think students in university should have lots of homework?

Fred: I think your question is very precise. I think students in university is different than students in high school or junior college. Now in university, you should be a responsible student. Now what I mean by being a responsible student is that the teacher doesn't have to tell you what you should do. You should know what you have to do, and so homework perhaps should not be something so important to you as a responsible student.

Todd: So, you are saying that students should study on their own.

Fred: They should.

Todd: And not be told what to study?

Fred: They should be told what to study, but they should not be told how they should study by giving them a framework of homework.

Todd: Alright, so for example if they are studying math they should be told what principles they need to learn but they shouldn't actually have to do a handout and turn it in every day.

Fred: No, because they know that at the end of the semester they will have and exam and if they haven't done what they were supposed to, well, I don't think they can pass that class.

Todd: As a teacher, I'm not so sure because you are a very motivated person and I think many students are motivated and disciplined like you but I have many students I think that just are not motivated and they won't do it unless I make them do it, like if I make them do it, then they might generate interest and they might improve but if I I don't make them hand in homework, if I don't tell them what to do, I don't think they'll study at all. They'll just party and have fun.

Fred: OK, I agree with you. There are certain students that need to be told what to do. There are people that have a hard time doing things by themselves. I agree with you, but perhaps this idea of homework, it just kind of comes out of high school or junior high school where the teacher tells you what to do, but in university it's different because assignment would be very important, so perhaps you would give the students and assignement every week but not homework every day and the assignment would count for a certain percentage and then that would give the incentive to the students to do it. If you don't give the students any incentive, then they will not be motivated.

Todd: That's a good point. I agree with you somewhat.

Break

Todd: OK, now Matt, you used to work in Hollywood as an actor. Can you talk about what kind of actor you were?

Matt: Sure. I acted mainly incommercial work and that is Iauditioned for commercials and basically in Los Angeles it's unlike any other city in the world for acting and it's just so heavily centered around Hollywood and television and screen work that there isn't really a lot of work in theater so I didn't have a ton of training going in to the acting world when I entered L.A. so like many others I opted just for commercial work and tried to get experience that way.

Todd: Oh, cool. So how do you actually get a gig? Tell me about the process.

Matt: It actually... It's a lot more complicated than I thought when I first got there and competitive. Basically, there are two types of actors in Los Angeles. There's union actors and non-union. And to really progress you need to be a union actor which takes getting a speaking part or doing commercial work, which took me about six months and from there becoming a SAG member, screen actor's guild member. You're in the union which looks a lot better on your resume to go after agents so that was my next step and after I got an agent then I was able to be sent out on auditions and look for work that way.

Todd: So how did you get your first big break?

Matt: It was just by chance really. I was acting and I was doing a lot of non-speaking work on television and movies and really not progressing as fast as I wanted to and I was on a commercial for I think it was Pepsi and they liked my look and they needed an extra guy in the scene in a library and they put me in and from that thirty second spot which was shown all the East Coast of the United States I has half of my income for my first year because you get royalty checks every time a commercial is shown on television. You get paid, so...

Todd: Nice.

Matt: Yeah... But from there I went back to television and movies.

Todd: Cool.

First Aid

Woman: You’re bleeding! What did you do to yourself?

Man: I just slipped and fell against the door. I think the door handle must have cut me.

Woman: It looks pretty nasty. Do you think you should go to A&E (accident and emergency)?

Man: No, I don’t think so. I’ll just clean it up, put a dressing on it, and it’ll be fine.

Woman: Alright, let’s see… Take this towel, make sure you keep pressure on it.

Man: OK. Do you have any disinfectant?

Woman: Yeah, somewhere. I’ll look for it in a minute. Are you sure you don’t want to go to hospital? It’s quite a big cut. I think it might need stitches.

Man: Well, let’s stop the bleeding and get it clean, and then we can have a proper look.

Woman: Something like that won’t heal well if you don’t get stitches. You’ll have a bad scar.

Man: Yeah, but you know what it’s like in A&E. We’ll have to wait for hours.

Woman: At least we need to check that it’s clean and there’s no dirt or anything inside it. If it gets infected, you’ll have a serious problem.

Man: Hmm, I suppose you’re right. OK, let’s put a dressing on it, then we can go.

Reading

Todd: So Monica, this week we’re going to talk about technology and how maybe technology changes patterns of how we read and how we write, so let’s talk about reading. Do you think you read fewer books now because of the Internet?

Monica: I don’t think I read fewer books now because of the Internet.

Todd: So you still read quite a bit?

Monica: Yeah, recently I’ve been reading quite a bit, but I think it’s more to do with how much spare time I have.

Todd: So you don’t think that the internet eats into reading time at all? At least for you?

Monica: I would have to say no because I use the internet for slightly different reasons. I use the internet to check my e-mail and communicate with my friends, but reading a book is something completely different that I do for relaxation. So yeah, I don’t think it has impacted the amount that I read.

Todd: Yeah, you see, for me I think it’s the exact opposite, it’s pretty bad. I pretty much read everything online, magazines or newspapers, and occasionally I’ll still buy a newspaper but I’ve completely stopped reading books. I just do not read books anymore and I think I’m not alone...I’ve read online, ironically, of other people who say that they’ve stopped reading books because you’re so used to reading online now that the actual process of sitting down and reading a book just isn’t as enjoyable as it used to be.

Monica: Well, having said that it doesn’t affect how much I read, I have to say that I have stopped reading newspapers in hard copy form. I tend to check the news items on the websites so, yeah, in that regard, I do read less than I used to.

Todd: So you buy newspapers quite rarely?

Monica: Yeah, exactly. I’m also concerned about the environment so I sort of feel that if I can get the news from the Internet then it’s saving all the trees being cut down and printed into a newspaper form.

Todd: Yeah, that’s a good way to look at it.

Eating out

Alan, Canada
Do I prefer to cook at home or eat out? I prefer to cook at home. I enjoy cooking. It gives me something to do. It's kind of like a hobby, and I enjoy creating different kinds of food. I enjoy eating them, and actually I enjoy cooking for other people, cooking for them and watching them enjoy the food that I cook.

Jeff, Canada
Do I prefer to cook or eat out? I like cooking. Cooking is fun and it's a nice way to relax and get rid of some stress but eating out is also fun, especially when you have a couple of good friends or your with a good buddy of yours and you can go to a nice restaurant and have someone wait on you and serve you, so I like to eat out but I like to cook at home.

Lucinda, New Zealand
I was raised in the country, so we always cooked at home, so I prefer to eat out any chance I can get I would prefer to eat out than cook at home. Being a student, living on a student budget, we mostly have to cook at home so I pretty much would prefer to go out to a restaurant or a cafe to eat almost any night of the week.

Ruth, England
At home or eat out? There absolutely no comparison. If you ask me that every time, I would say,eat out. I love eating out. It's so good. I love going to different restaurants, especially if somebody else is paying, but the disadvantage is that it's often less healthy to eat out if you eat at home. You'd know exactly what you're eating so it depends if I'm on a diet or not: if I'm not eating out, If I am eating at home.

Simon, Canada
If I had the choice to eat out, or to cook at home, I would definitely pick eating out. Yeah, I don't mind cooking at home. I like cooking but going out is an event. I like to go to cool restaurants, fancy restaurants, any kind of restaurant that has a cool atmosphere. Yeah, going out is an event. It's fun, and yeah, that's what I choose.

Todd, The United States
Actually this is not a choice because every night I eat out. I pretty much never cook. I cook maybe three or four times a year. I guess because I'm a bachelor and I just hate cooking and I don't know how to cook very well so I just always eat out pretty much, every night and buy my dinner. It's just easy, you know. No preparation. No cleaning up afterwards, just buy it and eat. That's it.

Suburbs

Todd: Jason, actually I'm going to England this summer.

Jason: Really?

Todd: Yeah can you give me some advice about where I should go. I'm gonna have about one week.

Jason: One week. What I suggest you do then is stay in the suburbs of London for a start, because it's a lot cheaper. If you stay in North London then you can spend all your money on rent. And I guess you should go aroundCentral London. That's where all the tourist attractions are. That's where all the nightlife is. It's just got everything you need really, but like I said rent is way too expensive there, so.

Todd: OK, now I was thinking of taking a day trip to Oxford or Cambridge or Bath. What would you recommend?

Jason: It depends really. Bath has got a lot of history. I guess Oxford is a lot quieter, but again there is a lot of nightlife there as well. It really depends what you want to do, but Bath is good for history, definitely.

Todd: OK. What about Cambridge?

Jason: Cambridge I'm not too sure about. I haven't been there so.

Todd: Oh, really. OK. If I want to go to Oxford or to Bath, how can I get there? Do I have to drive?

Jason: The easiest way is to get a train. It can vary how much you wanna pay really. It's kind of similar to Japanese trains. But traveling as far as Cambridge and Bath would be quite expensive, maybe 30 pounds, which is quite a lot of money really, so.
