[05:26.97]I can tell you .When I was a boy,things were different.
[05:32.36]I had to get up at six every morning.
[05:35.99]That was not very bad in summer,but in winter it was cold.
[05:41.92]And we didn't have any hot water in the house.
[05:45.78]We had to wash in cold water.We didn't have a bathroom.
[05:51.82]My dad had some chickens.I had to feed them every morning and then I had to walk to school with my little sister.
[06:02.42]It was two miles to school and two miles back in the evening.
[06:08.20]But it always seemed longer in the morning when we were going to school.
[06:13.11]There was a bus ,but we didn't have the money.
[06:16.97]And we had to go to bed at seven o'clock every night.
[06:21.99]We couldn't watch TV because there wasn't any .
[06:26.22]On Sundays we had to go to church three times_morning,afternoon and evening.
[06:34.97]And we couldn't play outside on Sundays.But it wasn't all bad.
[06:41.61]We had some good time.We could go out and our parents didn't have to worry about us.
[06:49.55]There weren't so many cars on the roads then.So the streets were safe to play in.
[06:57.02]And there were not many robbers and thieves in those days.
[07:02.14]We had to work hard and we weren't able to buy those things in the shops today.
[07:08.72]Life was hard,but it was simple and people were happier.
[07:13.79]I don't think I'd like to be young today.
[00:00.00]1.W:Excuse me,where is the Bell Museum?
[00:04.02]M:Oh,it's not far away from here.You can walk.
[00:08.70]W:Yes?
[00:10.53]M:Go straight along this road.Then turn left...No,right.Turn right at the first turning.
[00:18.26]W:Turn right?
[00:19.96]M:Yes,Keep walking till the crossroads,then turn left .You'll see a theatre on the righ
[00:27.69]W:A theatr
[00:29.31]M:Yes.Beside the theatre,there is a side street.
[00:33.72]W:Do I take the street?
[00:35.89]M:Right.Walk to the end of the street and turn left again.
[00:40.99]Then you'll see a church on the left.Next to the church is the museum.
[00:46.81]W:Oh,this is not easy.I'll try.
[00:51.17]M:Good luck.
[00:52.66]W:Thank you very much.
[00:54.75]M:You'll welcome.
[00:56.71]2.M:Hi,Jane.It's nice to see you again.I heard that you went to the U.S.during the vacation.
[01:03.45]W:Yes,I went to New York to attend a summer course in English.
[01:09.46]M:Wow.You were lucky.How long did you stay there?
[01:14.21]W:About 50 days.I went there on July 5th and came back on August 25th.
[01:22.02]M:Where did you live in New York?
[01:24.85]W:Oh,I lived with an American family,the Smiths.
[01:30.38]They were very kind people.Shortly after I arrived,we became good friends.
[01:37.59]And,living in their house,I could speak English with them every day.
[01:42.82]Besides,I didn't need to worry about my daily three meals.
[01:48.36]They looked after that .
[01:50.71]M:How nice!And how about the course?
[01:54.26]W:The course was also very good.The teachers were nice.
[01:58.88]They taught us to listen,speak,read and write in English,but it was mostly speaking.
[02:07.43]One interesting I found was that the American classes are different from our classes here because they are very free.
[02:17.87]You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom.
[02:21.77]You can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class.
[02:27.12]And you are welcome to share your ideas with the class.I really like this kind of class.
[02:34.15]M:How interesting!Maybe our teacher should try that.
[02:38.90]3.M:Well,Stella?Why do you look unhappy?
[02:42.72]W:Oh,Bill,I have just had a quarrel with Mr.Philips.
[02:47.60]W:Mr.Philips!What on earth was it about?
[02:51.62]W:Well,I have made three bad mistakes so far this week.
[02:57.37]Today I forgot to give him an important message,so he got really angry with me.
[03:05.03]M:But I don't understand.You are usually very careful and never make mistakes.
[03:11.58]W:I'm just so tired.I don't know what I'm doing.
[03:16.39]M:Why?Have you been going to bed late these days?
[03:20.88]W:No.I'm usually in bed at about eleven.But I've been woken up at half past four every morning.
[03:30.63]And then I can't go back to sleep again.
[03:33.79]M:Why?
[03:35.09]W:It's my new neighbor,the milkman next door.
[03:39.38]He has to get up at half past four and he always turns te radio on loud.
[03:46.25]M:Ask him to turn it down then.
[03:48.60]W:It's difficult.I don't know him yet.
[03:52.62]M:If you don't want to see him,write him a letter.
[03:56.72]W:Do you think it's good idea?
[03:59.20]M:Yes,I do.I'll help you with the letter.
[04:03.10]W:OK.Let's try.
[04:06.60]4.W:Can I talk to you for a moment,Tom?
[04:09.68]M:Of course,Julia.Sit down.What is it?
[04:14.17]W:I've decided to leave.
[04:16.39]M:Leave?
[04:17.70]W:Yes?
[04:19.13]M:Oh,no.Is it because we're moving out of London?
[04:23.68]W:Well,yes.But there are other reasons.
[04:27.49]M:I see.You've never liked working here.
[04:31.52]W:No,no.I've enjoyed working here,but...
[04:35.28]M:But what?
[04:37.24]W:Well,I haven't had time for other things.
[04:40.61]I've worked here for four years.And I'd like to do something different.
[04:46.30]M:What do you mean,something different?
[04:49.67]W:I want to travel.You know,I have never been to other countries.

[05:10.23]W:Thank you Tom.
[05:12.27]5.Good morning,Ladies and Gentleman.
[05:15.04]Welcome to our school.My name is Andrew Brown.
[05:19.71]I am a history teacher.I'll give you a quick introduction to the school before I show you around.
[05:27.08]Our school is called a "free school".That means that the pupils are free to choose what and how they want to learn.
[05:35.96]The school opens at 9a.m.,but the children can arrive when they like.
[05:41.97]Most of them are in school by ten.
[05:45.05]Between nine and ten most people are in the living room and the kitchen downstairs.
[05:51.27]Some of the children haven't had much breakfast,so there is a lot of eating,tea_drinking and talking.
[05:59.13]This is a time when children and teachers can work out what they are to do for the day.
[06:05.82]Now if you look through the door of that big room you will see those children reading and drawing there.
[06:12.64]Some have chosen to do maths.They are on the third floor with Miss Green.
[06:18.72]Four of the older boys are now on the way to the Cardrome to have their driving lessons.
[06:25.20]Several children are in the kitchen helping Miss Cabell with lunch.
[06:30.58]The children take turns doing this.They all enjoy doing it.
[06:35.55]After lunch it's someone else's job to do the washing-up.
[06:40.22]This job is unpopular and not many of them like to do it.
[06:45.19]After lunch the children go on with what they've been doing until 4:30.
[06:50.46]On Monday and Thursdays the school is also open in the evenings until 9:00p.m..
[06:57.54]On Wednesday afternoon there is a school meeting.
[07:01.35]On Friday we sometimes take the children to a cinema or a museum.
[07:06.97]The school is also open every weekend for those children who want to come.
[07:12.59]6.Good morning everybody.My topic for today is "Early Money."
[07:18.67]I'm going to tell you something about money used in the early days.
[07:24.03]To be honest,we know little about how early people came to use money,but we do know some of the things which have been used as money.
[07:35.97]In some parts of Asia,tea was used for money.The American Indians used nuts and other things.
[07:46.76]Perhaps the mos common money of all was an animal found some places today,cows are still used as a kink of money.
[07:57.91]So you see,things highly valued by everybody may serve as money.
[08:04.99]The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money.
[08:09.67]Oh,sorry,you don't know the word?Well,it is spelled C-O-I-N.
[08:20.58]Here are some coins of the past.You can come over and have a look.
