Exercise: Listen to the interview and complete the following questionnaire. Part 2 Passages Passage one welcome to London

Welcome to London! You and seven million other tourists will fill Britain's

capital city this season, jostling* each other along Oxford Street, getting lost on the Underground, staring at Buckingham Palace, and complaining about the food and the weather.

What can you do when you're here? There are the obvious tourist attractions of royal London, the London of pageantry* and soldiers in fancy uniforms. There is historical London, with the ancient buildings and magnificent churches. A good introduction to all this can be found in the London Museum in the Barbican*.

You can spend a lot of money, in shops from aristocratic* Knightsbridge* to democratic Marks and Spencer*, all of them anxious to receive travellers' cheques in almost any

currency. There are many hotels at your service, and your chambermaid may Well be able to talk to you in your own

language — though probably not in English, Restaurants are here by the

hundred. You can eat your way round the world in London, from China to Argentina*, though you may have a bit of a job

finding good English food

Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

You come, of course, from all over the world, attracted by the comparative

cheapness of London and its relatively new reputation as a good place to have fun — a reputation which really only dates from the mid 1960's, that era* of Swinging London,\photographers and dress designers.

There's certainly no lack of entertainment. The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There's a large number

of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your

choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it

rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter— and they're free! When it's fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.

You may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you're not likely to be bored.

When she entered the office, she saw Mr Cramp, her boss, speaking to the people in an angry voice. She was very

afraid and didn't dare to say anything.

Later that day, she found out what had happened, As a rule, Mr Crump came to the office at about 9:30, because he lived a long way out in the country and came up by train every day.

All the clerks were standing around, smoking, laughing and telling jokes.

Most full-time students at American universities must have health insurance, 12qis is because health costs in the United States are high. Colleges are not able to pay the costs if students suffer serious accidents or sickness,

Many American colleges have health centers where doctors and nurses treat students' medical problems. This service may be included in the cost of attending college. Health insurance is usually needed for extra services. Students may already be protected under their parents' health insurance policies*. If not, many colleges offer their own insurance plans. For example, students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor are treated without charge the minor medical problems at the university health center. But the university suggests that students buy its health insurance plan. It costs about 800 dollars a year. The insurance pays [or hospital services, emergency room care and visits to doctors.

Sometimes foreign students do not understand the need for health insurance, especially if they do net need such insurance in their own countries. However, people in the United States are responsible for their own medical costs. These can be extremely high in cases of serious illness or accidents. The purpose of health insurance is to

make sure that these costs will be paid for.

Frances Whithread lived in children's homes until she was 13 because her mother was unable to look after her. When Frances was 12 she took part in a game of netball. The referee, whose name was Margaret Whitbread, noticed the young girl because she argued with so many of her decisions. A few weeks later they met again at a local sports ground. Frances asked Margaret to show her how to throw the javelin and Margaret soon discovered that although Frances was a difficult child, she was a very promising young athlete.

When Frances was 13, the Whitbreads adopted her. Family life suited Frances and as she became bigger and stronger, her javelin throwing improved until she became one of Britain's top athletes. Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topics. 1. What difference would it have made if Frances had not met the Whitbreads? 2. Do you agree that sometimes it pays to argue? UNIT 3

Passage 1 Informational interviewing Informational interviews are one of the most beneficial ways through which to learn about a career field; they can also serve as a place to begin networking. Their purpose is to explore a particular field or organization and learn the \asked questions, you are the questioner, gathering information that will help you evaluate* your interest in and suitability for a particular opportunity.

An informational interview is a fine place to raise doubts you might have, explore me compatibility* of your work values with those expressed in the field and ask lot advice. An individual whom you interview for information can also critique your resume.

Although you may not specifically find out about a job opening, informational interviewing will often provide leads* as to where to begin a successful job search and will help you choose between fields you are considering. If you are unable to find your former students or parents to meet for an informational interview, try contacting employers or organizations found in one of the closed stack*directories in the CRC* library.

Passage 2 British postmen and milkmen

British postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful. As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good-tempered, their brisk* knocking and bright whistling may get on your nerves. Of course, there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter contains tragic news, but the majority are jolly and good-humoured. This is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems.

The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and down stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no lifts and no downstairs letterbox. If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it. That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning.

In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but nevertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compelled* to go all the way Io an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer. In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow.

Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he has to do his round*on foot, like his city colleague. Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, \DOG,\og is dangerous or not. So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers.
