Many Japanese never take the vacations they should enjoy, but with the coming of the “Golden

Week” , a series of holidays following one after another in late April and early May, they pour out of

the country by tens of thousands. The most popular place they go to is Hawaii, but Hong kong , Singapore and South Korea are also favored. The typical Japanese traveling abroad, as it is reported,

travels for about a week and takes, on average, 2008U.s. dollars to spend on airlines tickets, hotels

and gifts for friends and relatives. It may seem high, but it’s cheap for the Japanese, who would have

to spend a lot more if they spent a week touring in their own country.

M: Thank you for contacting me, Mrs. Seymour. My wife and I have been a little concerned about Sandra as well. She’s always been such a good student, so I must admit; I was shocked to see how bad her marks have been lately.

W: Yes, Sandra has excelled until now, so it was a surprise to see her grades take such a rapid fall. I had a chat with her yesterday though, and it seems to me she is very tired. She’s captain of the school basketball team, and I believe she is also learning the clarinet and piano after school?

M: That’s right. My wife is a pianist and has great hopes for Sandra.

W: But she also learns ballet and swimming as well, doesn’t she ?

M: Tha’s right. We want her to be as active as possible. She told me she’s just started a part-time job delivering newspapers. We think it’s important for her to learn responsibility from a young age.

W: Well, it seems to me that with all these extra-curricular activities that Sandra is spreading herself too thin. It may be a good idea to cut back on something and give her time to study. Text10

The train I was traveling on was already half an hour late. I had planned to arrive in Chicago at

7:00 in time to catch the 7:50 train to St.Louis, but there was no hope of that now. I explained the situation to the conductor who advised me to get off before Union Station and take a taxi. When the time came, he even helped me with my luggage. He wished me good luck as I jumped off, and a few minutes later I was going towards Union Station in a taxi. It was almost 7:50 when we stopped outside the station. I paid the driver quickly, carried my bags and hurried inside. The St.Louis train was all I had time to say to the first porter I saw. You can imagine my disappointment when he pointed to a train that was just moving out of the station.

M: Mmm, these noodles are yummy.

W:Thanks.

M: But you could have put in more tomatoes.

W: What are you trying to say ? I didn’t put enough tomatoes in the sauce, right ?

M: No, I’m just saying you could have put more tomatoes in.

W: Why do you always try to prove that you are right and I’m wrong?

M: I’m not trying to prove anything.I’m just saying if you had put more tomatoes in the sauce, it would be more nutritious.

W: You are trying to show that you are right. If not, how come one minute you said the noodles

were good, and the next minute you said I didn’t put enough tomatoes in the sauce?You suggested that I use more tomatoes when I was making the sauce and I refused. Now you are saying the sauce doesn’t have enough tomatoes in it even though the noodles taste good.

Why do you always have to be right?

M: No, that’s not true. Don’t try to read things into my words. I’m not blaming you for not putting more tomatoes in the sauce or saying you should have accepted my suggestion. It doesn’t have to do with who is right and who is wrong. I’m just saying more tomatoes wouldn’t hurt…

W: See,you are still trying to defend yourself. Oh, I’m tired of this meaningless argument. Let’s just eat.

M: Yes, that would be nice. Will I have a tour guide to accompany me to these places?

W: Don’t worry, I will be able to go along with you. Over the next few days, if you have any questoions or problems, I will be right here to help you out. I can be your translator and tour guide.

This is Radio 2 and you are listening to the 6 o’clock news. Here are the main points: Texas is

having its worst storms for fifty years. Many people are homeless and the damage to property is about

over two million dollars. Today’s Irish budget has introduced the highest increase in taxes sice 1979.

The film Living at home has received the Best Film of the Year Award. This is the first British film to

win the top award for four years. The rise in the cost of living has been the lowest for six months.

M: First of all. I’d like you to tell me a bit about what you’ve been doing.

W: Well. I left school after I’d done my A-levels.

M: What subjects did you take?

W: French, German and art.

M: Art?

W: Well.I really wanted to study art. But a friend of my father’s offered me a job—he’s an accountant in the city.

M: I see. In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?

W: Well, to be quite honest, I didn’t like it---so I got a place at the Art College a year ago.

M: Did your father mind?

W: Well, he was rather disappointed at first. He’s an accountant too, you know.

M: Have you any brothers or sisters?

W: Two brothers, both at school. One’s eleven and the other’s forteen.

M: Right. What do you do in your spare time?

W: I like jazz and folk music. I go to the theatre occasionally and act a bit myself. I read quite a lot, and I ‘ve done a bit of photography. Also, I’ve travelled a lot.

M: Very interesting, Miss Smith. I think that’s all I wanted to ask about your background.

Text10

M: How many different varieties of products do you import from China?

W: China provides the bulk of our products inventory, for sure. We import more than 40 different items from China. Most of the imports that come out of China are low-grade plastics or toys. Japan produces many eletronic exports, Germany produces excellent mechanical exports.

M: Do you import any food items?

W: Generally speaking, food items are difficult to import. Food with a short shelf is liable to spoil in the time it takes to ship from one place to another. The only food items we import are specially canned or preserved foods. The shelf life is longer for these products.

M: What do people do when they create viruses?

W: A person has to write the code, test it to make sure it spreads properly and then release the virus. A person also designs the virus’s attack phase, whether it is a silly message or destruction of a hard disk.

M: So why do people do it?

W: There are at least three reasons. The first is the same psychology that drives people to set fires with intention. The second reason has to do with the passion of watching things blow up.

Many people have a fascination with things like explosions and car crashes. The third reason probably involves showing off their power.

W: Oh, excuse me, Mr. Austin. I almost forgot there is a telephone message here for you.

Dr. Green called and asked you to call him back.

W: Excuse me. Have you been here long?

M: Yes. About 45 minutes. I’ve moved forward a total of about 3 feet in that time.

W: Does anyone know what’s causing the delay?

M: If so, no one has let us know. Maybe there aren’t enough people selling tickets this afternoon.

Or maybe their computer is down. I’m sure the concert hasn’t been called off.

W: I just hope they don’t run out of tickets before I get up there. I guess I should have come before lunch.

M: In fact, before I came I tried calling to charge my tickets over the phone, just to avoid this long wait. But they’re not taking phone orders, so you have to come in person.

W: Well, it’ll be two hours before the ticket office closes. Tickets for a good concert are worth waiting for, so I think I’ll just make myself comfortable.

Text9

W: Dad, guess what? Katie won the tickets to the New Era concert next week! Isn’t that cool? M: Really? How did she manage that?

W: She won a radio call-in competition. She just happened to be the first caller to get through

and she answered all the questions they threw at her about the group, so they gave her two free tickets!

M: Well, she must be pretty pleased with herself, then.

W: Are you kidding? She’s over the moon! She even got backstage passes so we’ll be able to meet the boys in the flesh!

M: We? Who’s we?

W: She asked me to go with her. Isn’t that cool? I can go, can’t I Dad?

M: Now, now, aren’t we being a bit hasty here? I thought we made a deal that you would knuckle down and study after your terrible grades at school last term. I don’t think you should be going to pop concerts when you have exams coming up soon.

W: But Dad! This is a once in a lifetime chance to meet New Era! I’ll never get the chance to do this again! And besides, it’s only one night. I promise I’ll study really hard for the rest of the term if you let me go.

M: I’m sorry Christy. You’re not going ot the concert. You’re going to stay at home and study for your exams!

Look at me now and you can’t imagine I was fat and overweight three years ago. I was a professional dancer and I danced for 4-5 hours a day. So you can’t say I didn’t have enough exercise. But I was busy and didn’t have much time for healthy meals. I ate snacks, chocolates and sweet cakes. I also smoked heavily. The result was my weight shot up. It was terrible. I got worried. Then I talked to a lot of people about the food I was eating and they said my diet was rubbish. I changed my food. And in nine months I was down from 133 pounds to 102 pounds. I stopped eating meat, cakes, chocolates , alll sorts of things. Now I eat brown bread, fish and lots of vegetables. I feel good and confident.

M: Could you suggest some ways to bring family members close together?

W: Well, I feel it’s vey important for families to have regular meals together. One of my good childhood memories is having dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both work and our three children are busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First, we tried setting three fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea that everyone could tell me his or her most convenient days and I would choose the the two best days. For

a while, the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they’d rather spend their

time with their friends playing sports. Gradually though, they began to see these evenings together as interesting and helpful. We loved it. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other’s problems. After a couple of months, anyoner who had to miss the family meal felt regretful. And now, we all feel we’ve been able to build up much stronger relationships within the family than we had before.

M: No, he didn’t. He’s such a great competitor that he refused to quit. He came back and won it four more times.

W: That’s amazing!

W: At a sea-side town?

W: I wouldn’t mind being a machine for that money.

Do you know how to get inexpensive airline and train tickets? On a recent flight, Edward was chatting happily with me in the seat until the conversation turned to fares. I bought my ticket three weeks in advance, and paid $ 148. Edward paid the full fare of $ 480. He decided that next time he would find out how to travel for less. Here are some useful ways: To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier. In return for delivering a package for a courier company , you get a plane that costs as little as one-quarter of the regular fare or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute. Recently , a courier flew a round trip from New York to Hong Kong $ 105; a regular ticket costs around $1900.

If you are going to do a lot of traveling by train , a train pass will save you money. Train passes can be especially useful in Indian, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30000 cities. The Rail Europe Group even offer senior passes for those of 60 yars of age and over, youth passes for those under 26 years of age, and provides a great bargain.

Shopping for the perfect wedding gown can be a challenge. With thousands of dresses available in the United States, finding the dress that best suits you can be quite diffficult. It’s a good idea to start dress shopping early—up to a year before your wedding date if possible. Call

the gown stores in advance to set up an appointment with a sales person. Bring the under-garments you plan to wear with your dress to the shop, as well as shoes. If you don’t have your shoes picked out yet, bring dress shoes with a heel about the same height as you think you will wear on your wedding day. At the shops, you will be trying on samples of wedding dresses that can range from size 6 to 18. Remember that the dress you order may vary slightly from the sample you see in the store. For example, if the manufacturing company runs out of one kind of lace, it may substitute a similar one. Who you bring with you when you try on dresses is important. Bring one or two friends whose opinion you trust, but no more than three people. You might also want to bring a camera, so that you can take pictures of each dress you try on and then be able to compare the photos at home. The photos might also be fun to look back on after your wedding, when you show your fiance which dresses you didn’t choose.

Tourists come to London for many reasons. Do you know that the transportation is a tourist attraction in itself? The London Underground is the oldest and one of the busiest underground railway networks in the world. Often called “ the tube” , the London Underground is a major business with three million passenger journeys made a day, serving 275 stations over 408km of railway. In 2002 and 2003, London Underground drove a total of 65.4 million kilometers. However, some stations fell into disuse and were closed. These stations are called ghost stations, and there are about 40 of these.

The London Underground was formed in 1985, but its history dates back to 1863 when the world’s first underground railway opened in London. The London Underground is divided into a series of main travel zones, in a series of concentric circles ranging out from the center of

London. Asimple journey between two stations is priced based on how many zones you will travel through. The more zones you pass through , the higher the cost is, with a basic single journey single zone fare being ￡2.
