Unit 1 Campus life

A

Reporter: Autumn rings in a season of possibilities for new college students. Many, including 18-year-old Emily Bishko, will be leaving their parents for the very first time.

Emily Bishko: I honestly, like, feel like I am old.

Father: Yeah?

Emily Bishko: And that I - but I also feel like I don't belong here, like I'm too young to be here.

Reporter: Her parents listen to their grown-up little girl with a bittersweet mix of emotions.

Mother: It's such a range from the happiest feeling to the saddest feeling. Happiness for her because she's gonna go, and happiness for us because we're gonna move into this next phase. But then, oh, my

gosh, she's gonna go.

Reporter: The Bishkos travel halfway across the country, from Atlanta to St. Louis.

Emily Bishko: That's everything out of the trunk, right?

Reporter: To help Emily get settled in at Washington University.

Mother: Do you need batteries?

Emily Bishko: No.

Reporter: There are lots of adjustments in store, and it's just the moment for a healthy dose of sarcasm. Father: There's plenty of room in here, don't you think, for two people and all their clothing, books, and computers? And it shouldn't be any problem at all.

Reporter: It's a far cry from the spacious home where Emily grew up. She'll have to hold on tight to the memories of her favorite meals with her parents and big brother, Jack.

Emily Bishko: You said you had some advice for me when I go off to college.

Reporter: And evening romps with the two family dogs.

Emily Bishko: I'm gonna miss this guy.

Reporter: And for mom and dad, it's time now to let go.

Mother: We started with a newborn baby, and it's 18 years later, and she's been very successful, and we're very proud to see where she started to where she now has ended up.

Father: At some point in a child's life, you have to let them become the adult and mature into the adult. And I think, you know, it's this letting go that's hard to do, but it's very important to do.

Reporter: And so begins the process. Back at school, there is advice for all concerned.

Reporter: Like many colleges across the country, Washington University offers orientation programs not just for nervous freshmen but for the parents who leave them behind. The sessions are held separately to

cushion the blow of letting go. The one Emily's parents attend features a skit with students who

reenact the first phone call home.

Actor: Hello, mom? Hi. You remember that credit card you gave me just for emergencies?

Well, I was at the bookstore and - hi, dad. Now I'm talking to both of you.

Reporter: Also on hand to offer insights, Wash U's Karen Coburn. She wrote the book Letting Go. Karen Coburn: I think that a lot of parents find it very confusing. Because one minute their child wants them to be with them and says, "Are you coming here with me?" and the next minute, their child is practically running ten steps ahead of them so that the parent doesn't seem to be associated with them at all.

Reporter: After all, there are new friends, new experiences, newfound freedoms.

Karen Cohurn: The most important thing is to acknowledge the changes that are taking place in your child, to see your child for who he or she is becoming, not for some image that you hold in your head of

what this child is supposed to be, and to support those changes and to enjoy it.

Reporter: Enjoy it, because all too soon, all across the campus...

Mother 2: I feel as though a piece of my heart is missing.

Reporter: It's time to blink back the tears.

Mother 2: God bless you, baby. Joy. Joy and sorrow together, because he's my running mate. Doing things for mommy all the time, and I'll miss that.

Reporter：And say goodbye. Mother 3: Bye, Joel. We'll miss you. Student 2: Bye, mom. Mother 3: Say goodbye to Joel. Brother: Bye, Joel.

Mother 3: Give Joel a hug. Give Joel a hug. Father 2: See you, Joel.

-- (Waiter) Happy New Year's, ladies.

-- Gabby, it's New Year's Eve.

-- Hey, you know what? Someday, someday you guys might thank me for this. Or not.

(lyrics)

(crowd cheering and whistling)

-- Troy.

-- Gabriella.

-- But seriously, you have an amazing voice. You're a singer, right?

-- Just church choir is all. I tried solo and nearly fainted.

-- Really? Why is that?

-- I looked at the people staring at me. And next thing I knew, I was staring at the ceiling. End of solo career. -- Well, with the way you sing, I say that's pretty hard to believe.

-- That was the first time I've done something like that. I mean it was so cool.

-- l know! Completely!

-- You sound like you've done a lot of singing, too. -- Yeah, sure. My showerhead is very impressed with me.

(crowd) 9, 8, 7 ........ , 6, 5, 4 .......... , 3, 2, I! (cheering/fireworks explode)

-- I guess I better go find my mom and wish her a happy new year.

-- Yeah, me too. I mean, not your mom. My mom.., and dad. Uh... I'll call you. I'll call you tomorrow.

-- Yeah !

-- Here, put your number in.

--- Here.

-- You too.

-- Oh, OK.

(beeping)

There you go. Just so you know, singing with you was the most fun I've had on this entire vacation. So, urn.., where do you live? Gabriella.

(bell rings)

-- Mom, my stomach...

-- Is always nervous on first day at a new school? You'll do great, You always do.

-- And I made my company promise that I can't be transferred again until you graduate.

-- I reviewed your impressive transcripts. I expect your light will shine very brightly here at East High. -- I don't want to be the school's freaky genius girl again.

-- Just be Gabriella.

-- This way, ...

(chatter)

--Troy! Troy! Hey!

-- How's it goin'? How are you?

Miss Darbus?

-- Do you remember the night before?

-- No, not at all. All I remember is like, pink jelly, 1...

-- Excuse me. (boy) Ooh !

-- Hi, Troy.

-- Hi. (bell rings)

-- I trust you all had splendid holidays. Check the sign-up sheets in the lobby for new activities, Mr. Bolton. Especially our winter musicale, we will have singles auditions for our support ing

roles …

-- You OK?

-- Yeah.

--... and pairs auditions for our two leads.

-- Mr. Danforth, this is a place of learning, not a hockey arena.

-- There is also a final sign-up for next week's scholastic decathlon competition. Chem Club president Taylor Mc Hessey can answer all of our questions about that. (rings)

-- Ah, the cell phone menace has returned to our crucible of learning.

-- Is it your phone?

-- Sharpay and Ryan, cell phones.

-- I will see you in detention.

-- Ahh!

-- We have zero tolerance for cell phones in class, so we will get to know each other in detention.

Cell phone. And welcome to East High, Miss Montez. Mr, Bolton, I see your phone is involved. So we will see you in detention as well.

-- That's not a possibility, Miss Darbus. Your Honor. See, 'cause we have basketball practice, and Troy...

-- Ah, that will be 15 minutes for you too, Mr. Danforth. Count 'em.

-- That could be tough for Chad. He can't count that high.

-- Taylor Mc Hessey, 15 minutes.

(Taylor gasps)

--Shall the carnage continue? Holidays are over, people, way over! Now, any more comments, questions?

--Jason.

-- So how were your holidays, Miss Darbus?

--What? (bell rings) --Sorry, man.

-- See you in detention. --See you in a minute. --Uhh, she's crazy,

--Hey !

Unit 2 Culture and Recreation

AR ：Hi, I'm Anjali Rao, coming to you from the set of a top-rated TV show in Beijing. My guest to day is Olympic ambassador and prime-time presenter Yang I.an. This is Talk Asia.

AR: That's where I joined her. So this is it, this is your new gig. Tell me about it.

YL: Yeah well, it's a weekly show called "Olympic Songfest". The purpose of the show is to promote and also select the Olympic theme songs, not only the theme songs but also songs for the

torch relay, the volunteers program ... Actually the BOCOG , the Beijing Olympic Organizing

Committee, wants to select as much as 25 Olympic songs for different occasions and different environments. Some of them are targeted as the theme songs, for the opening and the closing ceremonies, and some of them are more for the public to sing.

AR: Right, and it's all done in front of this sort of live studio audience?

YL: Yeah, we have the live studio. This is our band, Space. And we have our live audience. Every time we invite in about four or five musicians and singers to present their new entries of songs as

well as some of the very popular songs that they wrote before. And then we'll talk about their

involvement and their stories about the Olympic Games.

AR: So, I guess it's kind of an unusual way to pick an Olympic theme tune, isn't it? To have people voting on the song that they want, kind of like an American Idol sort of thing?

YL: Well, not quite, because we do have a professional, very authoritative committee to select those songs officially. But what our program is doing is to present those songs to the public so that

they can hear it more frequently and then they can vote through text messages and through the website. So we have a different, like a billboard, what we call the Popularity Board. This of

course will be a reference for the selection committee, but we won't really.., how should I say?

We respect their authority ultimately.

AR: With something like American Idol, for example, it gets these huge ratings every week. How well does this show do? Do people tune in? Do people out there care about the song that gets

picked?

YL: I think more and more so, because this show only started in January. For the first quarter, I did struggle, because at that time the new round of entry just started so we didn't have enough new songs, but now, more and more often we have new entries, and really good ones, like we just introduced one of the entries for the torch-relay song. It's a cooperation between Hong

Kongese, Taiwanese and the Chinese singers. And also singers from Malaysia, for example,

and the rating is going up, because now you really have good pieces of work.

AR: You were the image ambassador behind Beijing's 2008 winning bid. What does it mean to you that your country is going to be playing such an amazing role on the world stage?

YI.: When I was participating in the Olympic bidding, I also have friends from other countries asking me: "Why do you want to give so much of your time and energy into it?" Then my answer was. "I

hope China is going forward and never turning back." And as a citizen myself, I will benefit from that, so I want to do this. I think Olympics is not just for sports, not just a

game, but it's an overall political, economic as well as cultural transformation of this country. You know, look at us now, I think the government has opened for international media to do reporting freely in this country, and that's the door opened by the Olympics. And I don't suspect that door will be closed afterwards. So that's something we can experience.

Presenter#1：Think dreams can come true?

Well if hadn' t been for some bad luck,

the cell phone salesman from across the

pond would not have any luck at all, but

Paul Potts' fortune is changed when he

decided to enter a British talent contest.

We have more now ...

Aside: Paul Potts could be your neighbor. And until this week he had few reasons to

celebrate. In debt after years of illness he

had all but abandoned his passion for

opera.

Paul: I settled into a career at a mobile phone shop. And for me you know that was it. Aside: But two weeks ago he took the stage on national TV.

Presenter # 2: This is Britain's Got Talent. Aside: But for the next contestant the world of show business seems a million miles

away. It's Paul, a mobile phone salesman

from south Wales.

Paul: By day I sell mobile phones. My dream is to spend my life doing what I feel I was born

to do...

Judge# 1: So, what are you here for today, Paul? Paul: To sing opera.

Paul: I've always wanted to sing as a career.

Confidence is... has always been sort of

like a difficult thing for me. I have always

found it a little bit difficult to be completely

confident in myself.

Judge # 2: Okay, ready when you are.

Judge # 2: So you work at Carphone

Warehouse, and you did that. I wasn't

expecting that. This was a complete

breath of fresh air, I thought you were

absolutely fantastic.

Judge # 3: You have an incredible voice, I think if you keep singing like that you're going be

one of the favorites to win this whole

competition.

Judge # 1: I think that we've got a case of a little lump of coal here that is gonna turn into

a diamond.

Judge # 2: OK. Moment of truth, young man.

Piers?

Judge # 3: Absolutely yes!

Judge # 2: Amanda?

Judges 1: Yes!

Judge # 2: Paul, you are through to the next

round.

Judge # 2: Congratulations

Judge # 1: Unbelievable, I have goose pimples. Judge # 1: You must be over the moon.

Paul: I am a bit shocked at the moment.

Aside: And as Paul heads home happy, the

judges think they might have found

something special in Cardiff.

Judge# 2: I like shows where somebody isn't a professional, has a talent, isn't aware of

it, has a normal job, and then you see

something else. I like that. That's what

that guy has...

Judge # 1: ... An undiscovered little gem. A frog that will turn into a prince.

Presenter /# 2: The winner of Britain's Got Talent is .............. Paul Ports.

Presenter # 2: Paul, Congratulations!

Congratulations! You are the winner of
