Unit 4
"So, how about your interview?"

"The whole thing was bad from the beginning. I entered the room with confidence and gave the woman a strong handshake. She said I squeezed too hard and hurt her. I had a real hard time communicating with her after that."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it was pretty apparent that I failed to persuade her to hire me. I tried to make eye contact with her, but she kept looking away, which made me think she wasn't very focused or interested in what I was saying."

"I know what you mean. It can be so stressful being interviewed for a job. It's very depressing when you don't get any encouragement from the person who is asking you questions. But, don't worry. I'm sure you made a better impression than what you think."

"I don't think I impressed her at all. I was really bothered that she kept looking away, only interrupting me once in a while to throw in a word or two. I had to get her attention by making big gestures and changing the tone of my voice. I don't think I have ever had such a horrible experience."
Unit 5
AIDS has emerged as the world's biggest problem over the past 25 years. The epidemic has touched the lives of people around the world, but no other place has been plagued like Africa. In Africa 20 million people were infected with the disease in 1999. That number continues to grow. Africa has accounted for nearly four out of five AIDS related deaths in the world. It is estimated that as of 1999, 13 million children had lost their parents to AIDS. Although there is no cure, people in more developed countries can get medicine to help. In Africa though, most do not have access to new medicines. Most people neglect going to the doctor to find out if they have the disease. Because they have not been diagnosed with the illness, they continue to spread the disease without knowing it. Many men leave their rural homes to find work. This threatens many people when the workers have AIDS and their behavior is not safe.

In response to this crisis, many groups have set up programs. The goal is to educate people about AIDS. It is difficult to implement such programs, though, because of poor literacy rates. Some education programs have worked, though. One such project combats people's fear of getting tested for AIDS. Other campaigns focus on schooling for the poor.
Unit 6
I shouldn't have been surprised how tired I was after working a whole day in the factory. Each day I worked continuously assembling radios. It wasn't heavy work, but the repetition and standing for an entire day was difficult. At the end of the day, my legs trembled from having stood in one place so long. We were supposed to get a rest outdoors every four hours

, but unfortunately we hardly ever were given the opportunity. The heat inside the factory was intense and many people often became ill. Although I did not become ill, my muscles often hurt wickedly near day's end. Besides, a sore body was nothing new to me. But, finding employment was not easy, so I stayed on. I tried to complain as little as possible. After many years, I was offered a job managing a small group of workers. I knew the job would be more stressful, but I agreed to try it anyway. During the trial, I assisted another manager. After a few days, I started coaching my group on how to do their work. They all had been my peers when I was an ordinary worker, so some of them refused to listen to me. I often had to yell at them so they would understand I was serious. The hardest day I ever had was when I had to fire one of them.
