ListeningScripts I = Interviewer; B = Baruti I: Thank you for ing on the show, Baruti. We are all very interested to know more about your work. But, first of all, lets start from the beginning. Um, where were you born? B: I was born in Johannesburg in 1962. I: Can I ask you about your childhood? B: Yes, of course. I was the fourth child in a very big family there were 11 of us. My father was a teacher and my mother cleaned houses for rich people. I: Did you go to school? B: Yes, I did. Education was very important to my parents. I: When did you decide to work with poor children? B: When I was in school, one of my friends lost his parents. He had no family um no living grandparents, so he moved to a house for orphans. I visited him and when I saw his life there, I decided to work with orphans. I: When did you open your orphanage? B: We opened it in 1996. I: We? B: Yes, my wife and I. We got married in 1990. I: And whos your hero? B: Im glad you asked that its Mother Teresa. I often think about her words: “I can do no great things, only small things with great love.” I: Thats very interesting. I have one more question: Whats your favorite book? B: Let me think about that. I like many books, but Long Walk to Freedom is one of my favorites. Its the story of Nelson Mandelas life in his own words. I: That sounds interesting. Thank you. OK now, its time to ask the audience for questions. Are there any questions for Baruti? Yes, you at the back ViewingScripts Carlos Acosta is one of the greatest living ballet dancers. He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero. Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isnt a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness. “Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, thats the only country, you know, and because thats where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place Im never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. Its something thats been passed on through generation to generation. And its also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and its its almost, thats what its asking for, dance and music and happiness.” Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didnt want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else. “So I I did tell him many times that I didnt want to be and that I wanted to to do something else football, you know but he didnt want to hear it. So, I went and But thank God he didnt want to hear it because thanks to that Im here now.” At ballet school, Carlos wasnt always a good student and didnt want to be a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europe for the first time. That year he won four major dance petitions and became famous all over the world. Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.

Group discussionScripts I = Interviewer; W = Writer I: We are very pleased to have you here, George. Shall we start from the beginning? Could you tell us about your childhood? W: Yes, of course. I was born in a small town in the northeast. My father was a truck driver and my mother worked part-time in a hospital. I have a brother and a sister. We all went to the same local school. I: You wrote your first novel just one year after you left college, didnt you? W: Yes, that was in 1993. I was only 22 then. And the next year I went to Brazil. I: Is that period of your life related to your later career in any way? W: Thats a good question. You see, it was my experience there that inspired my film Lost in the Forest, although I didnt actually make that film until several years later, in 2008. I: When did you start making films? W: In 2003. That was after I gave up farming. I: Farming? W: Yes. I stayed in Brazil for 7 years, during which I met my wife. After we came back we bought a farm in the south of the country. A kind of experiment, really. I: That sounds interesting. Why did you give it up then? W: It was very hard work. I was also busy working on my second novel Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScripts Conversation 1 W: Hi, John. Im back. Did any of my friends call me? We were supposed to meet at the bar for drinks, and then go to the cinema. But they never showed up. M: Sorry. Ive been home since I came back from the office and the phone never rang once. Q: Where does the conversation probably take place? Conversation 2 M: Not all great people are famous; take Jack Kilby as an example. W: Right. Jack Kilby invented the microchip, and received the Nobel Prize. But only a small part of the public knows of him. Its very surprising. Q: What does the woman think is very surprising? Conversation 3 W: I dont quite understand what made Charlie Chaplin such a popular movie star. M: Are you serious? Look at Charlie Chaplins works and pare them to other films of the time. He was so original that people were really surprised by his films. Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplins films? Conversation 4 W: Whats the greatest invention of the last few hundred years? M: Lets see. The puter, the car, the phone? No, I think its the light bulb. This invention has changed the world more than anything else. Q: Which invention does the man think changed the world most? Conversation 5 W: Our play last night was a great success. Were all proud of Bob. M: Yes. But if Bob had remembered all his lines, his performance would have been more natural. Q: What does the man mean? Long conversationScripts W: Hey, Bob, Im taking care of my cousin this weekend. Can you think of any fun things for us to do? M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie! W: Thats a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldnt be able to make any money by writing childrens books. M: Yeah, its hard to believe that once she was really poor but now shes so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a caf in London no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester right? W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. But she did write in cafs a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall asleep. She would usually end up in a caf and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again. M: Did J. K. Rowling say what shes going to write next in her interview? I cant wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books! W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals! M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. Id love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes! Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend? Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling e up with the idea for Harry Potter? Q3: What are J. K. Rowlings future plans? Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about? Passage 1Scripts Stephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Lets go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson! This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didnt need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator? Q2: What did Stephens mother do when she came into the kitchen? Q3: What did Stephens mother teach him later? Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience? Passage 2Scripts and answers There are so many changes when a person es to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some its the 2) very first time theyve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that theyve never really had to make before. Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to bee friends with. “And what happens if I dont do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. Its really a jump from high school. Its such a change when they dont have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies. This is very mon to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out its not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! Thats the way everybody learns to grow up. Unit 2 A break for fun Listening to the worldSharingScripts F = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc. Part 1 F: I love films.
