Audio Script

- Are you OK, Mia? You look dim. You look really tired.
- I am. I can't seem to sleep at night. I've been under a lot of pressure lately. A lot of stress.
- What's up?
- I've got a million things to do. I'm busy at work. I'm working on the house too, you know. I'm trying to fix it up. I need to finish it before winter. Just lots of deadlines.
- Any way I can help?
- Thanks, but not really. It's just things I have to do.
- Well you need to manage that stress a little better.
Are you getting any exercise?
- Who has time?
- You really should ride a bicycle to the store, or walk to work a couple of days a week, or go swimming at the community center. It helps me to get exercise when I'm busy. You don't have to become a fitness nut, you know.
- That is a good suggestion. It's just the time, you know. I'm always thinking of what I should be doing.
- No wonder you can't sleep. A lot of people learn to meditate or learn yoga. Meditation and yoga are supposed to be good ways to deal with stress. They help you relax.
- Yoga? Maybe I'll call the community center. They might have some classes there.
- You know? Another thing you can do is take vitamins. You use up a lot of vitamins and you don't get them in your meals all the time. They won't help the stress, but they might help your body handle it better. You really should take vitamins every day.
- Yeah, I should get some. Thanks.
- How about going out with Rosa and me this Friday. It'll do you good. We could see a movie, make you forget your problems, have a little fun.
You know? You're right about all of this. Let's go somewhere Friday night, have dinner, see a movie. That'll be fun.
- Now, you're talking.
- OK. See you Friday. Gotta get back to work.
- Mia! You're hopeless. Truly hopeless.

Stan: If I’d written it down, I wouldn’t have forgotten the date.

come on = stop it! = Don’t speak like that!
blame = reprimand, scold, hold responsible
I’d written = I had written
Stan didn’t write down the date and he forgot it.

Ann: It’s not really your fault. I didn’t remember, either.
Stan: Let’s not make it a big thing. Just forget it.

Idiom:
Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.

Sample Summary:
It’s Sunday night, and Stanley and Ann Smith are standing outside a movie theater. They’ve just realized that their tickets are for Saturday night. Ann tells Stan to relax and not worry. She reassures him that there’s nothing they can do now. Stan blames himself, but Ann reminds him that everyone makes mistakes and it’s not solely his fault. Stan reflects on how writing down the date would have prevented this situation. Ann empathizes, admitting that she also forgot about the correct date. Stan suggests not dwelling on the mistake and just letting it go. Ann proposes eating out as a way to salvage the evening. Stan agrees, and Ann mentions a good pizzeria on Maple Street. Despite the ticket mishap, they decide to enjoy their evening together.

Audio Script

Henry: Good evening, America and good evening, Jean.

Jean: Evening, Henry. The first movie we're going to talk about tonight is "The Final Chapter". Of course, I don't want to reveal too much, but it involves politics, murder, and a writer who uncovers some deadly secrets. This movie has everything: mystery, suspense, romance, and action. The problem is, the movie just doesn't work.

Henry: Why didn't you like it? I thought it was a great story. It kept my attention, there were a lot of details to remember, but it never got confusing. I thought the story was excellent.

Jean: You did? I didn't. I thought there were too many details. I found it really slow-moving and frustrating. I mean, they didn't need the romance between the detective and the writer.

Henry: That's true. But I think they wanted the characters to have more personality. I liked the characters more because of the romance.

Jean: Well, I didn't like them. But I thought the acting was good. I really liked Sam Foster's acting.

Henry: You did? I didn't. He was just OR. It's too bad. Too good characters almost ruined by too bad acting jobs. I really thought newcomer Cassie Lane as the writer was a bore.

Jean: Well, I have to say, don't waste your money on this movie. The story is confusing and the characters are silly. Good acting couldn't save it.

Henry: And I say, the acting isn't that great, but the story and the characters are good enough to keep you entertained.

Jean: Now, it's up to you America. You've heard our opinions.

Henry: Now the final decision is yours.

Answer Key
Jean:
the acting

Henry:
the story, the characters, the movie itself

Summary
Henry and Jean discussed their differing opinions on the movie "The Final Chapter." Henry enjoyed the movie for its detailed storytelling and engaging plot, while Jean found it slow and overcomplicated, particularly criticizing the unnecessary romance subplot. Jean praised Sam Foster's performance, but Henry was not impressed by Cassie Lane and did not like the acting. Ultimately, Jean advised against watching the movie due to its confusing story and poorly developed characters, whereas Henry believed the story and characters were interesting enough to be entertaining. They left the final judgment to the audience.

Unit 7: Grammar

Conditional Sentences Type III

Conditional sentences type III are about unreal conditions in the past.

Point:
We use the past perfect tense in the if-clause of conditional sentences type III.

Past Perfect Simple: Subject + had(n’t) + Past Participle + …
Past Perfect Progressive: Subject + had(n’t) + been + Verb+-ing + …

Point:
We use “would have”, “could have” or “might have” followed by the past participle in the main clause of conditional sentences type III.

Examples:

If the firefighters had left the building, they would have survived.
If the firefighters had left the building, they could have survived.
If the firefighters had left the building, they might have survived.

The firefighters would have survived if they had left the building.
The firefighters could have survived if they had left the building.

- Hi, Tom. How was your camping trip last weekend?
- Oh, it was a disaster.
- A disaster? What was so bad.
- Well, I went camping. But you wouldn't believe the bad luck I had.
- Yeah? What happened?
- Well, I went to Pine Hills. I got there Saturday afternoon, and the weather was really nice. So, I went for a hike.
- Yeah.
- You know that big forest there?
- Uhumm.
- I got lost. I had absolutely no idea where I was.
- Oh, lost? Oh, that's too bad. So what happened?
- Well, I finally found my way back to the campsite. It was like 8:00 or 8:30 at night. I was really tired and hungry. So I was going to fix dinner. I'd brought along a nice juicy steak and I was cooking it over the campfire.
- That sounds good!
- Well, yeah, so I cooked it. Well, I tried to cook it. I really couldn't see much, even with the flashlight. I burned the thing. Burned.
- Oh, you burned the steak?
- To a crisp. I could hardly eat it. But anyway I really didn't mind much cause I was so tired. I just wanted to get some sleep. So I went to bed early. Then about eleven o'clock, people next to me turned on some music and started to have a party. I couldn't get back to sleep.
- Oh, you must have been angry.
- I was really. Finally I went over and asked them to turn down the music. Then about two in the morning, it started to rain. I mean it poured.
- Oh, no.
- Bad enough that there was water in my tent. I had to sleep in the car.
- You slept in the car? But you tried that little…
- Yeah, I know. Not really comfortable, but that's not all! I got up in the morning and I found my food was gone.
- What happened to it?
- Animals, I guess. Foxes or raccoons probably. I had put the food in the tent, but they got it. So I had no breakfast. Well at that time, I figured the weekend was ruined anyway. So I decided to leave.
- Yeah?
- But my car was stuck. Man! There was so much rain that I was stuck in the mud. I finally found a ranger to help push me out.
- Oh, this doesn't sound like a camping trip to be repeated.
- That's for sure. Oh, and to finish it up, I had a flat tire on the way home.
- Ah, flat tire? Oh, Gee! I don't imagine you're going camping again for a while.
- Oh, I don't know. I might go again next weekend. - What?
- Hey, nobody could have that kind of bad luck two weeks in a row!

Unit 6: Reading

Lost in the Snow

It was a desperate situation. We were lost in the snowstorm. We were cold and stiff and the horses were exhausted. We decided to build a fire and camp out till morning.

desperate = hopeless, disappointing
stiff = unable to move
exhausted = very tired; run-down; drained
till = until

All agreed that a campfire would save us, and so we set about building it. We could find no matches, but decided that we could use our hunting rifles to light the fire. No one in the party doubted that it could be done, and without any trouble. We had all read about it in books and naturally believed it to be possible, just as we believed other stories about Indians and lost hunters making fires by rubbing dry sticks together.

all = all of us
set about = start, begin
We could find no matches. = We couldn't find any matches.
decide = think
doubt (v.) = be uncertain
No one in the party doubted that it could be done. = Everybody in the group was sure that we could do it.

Passive: It could be done.
Active: We could do it.

party = group, team
naturally = as may be expected; of course
just as = exactly in the same way

We knelt in the deep snow and cleared a place to pile the twigs we had gathered upon. It took ten or fifteen minutes before all was prepared for the experiment, and by that time the falling snow had made us resemble a group of white statues. Conversation ceased, and our hearts beat rapidly as the leader of our group aimed his rifle, pulled the trigger, and blew the pile clear out of sight; our experiment was a complete failure. This was distressing, but a greater horror came to our attention; the horses were gone.

kneel (v.) = to go on your knees
kneel => knelt, knelt

deep ≠ shallow
upon = on
gather = collect

Passive: All was prepared.
Active: We prepared all.

resemble = look like
statue = an object made from a hard material, especially stone or metal, to look like a person or animal
cease = stop
Conversation ceased. = Nobody talked.
beat => beat, beaten
rapidly = very fast
as = when, while
blow => blew, blown
failure ≠ success
distressing = stressful
horror = fear

I had been responsible for holding them, but in the excitement, I had forgotten my duty and had released them. It was useless to try to follow them, for one could pass within a few feet of the creatures and never see them.

I had been responsible for holding them. = It was my duty to hold them.
release = set free
for = because
one = any person
creature = animal
Visibility was low. = They couldn’t see well.

Refusing to give up hope, we once again built a pile. This time we tried the second method we had read about. Each man took a couple of sticks and started rubbing them together. At the end of half an hour, we were a bit warmer from this activity. The sticks, however, were as cold as ever. Our last hope died in our hearts.

a bit = a little
The stick were as cold as ever. = The sticks didn't become hot at all.

Nobody said a word for several minutes; even the wind seemed to quiet down, making no more noise than the falling snowflakes. Then, putting our arms about each other's necks to await the drowsiness that always precedes death by freezing, we bade each other a last farewell.

snowflake = a very small piece of snow
await = wait for
drowsy = sleepy
drowsiness = being sleepy
precede = come before ≠ follow
freezing = turning into ice
bid = bade, bidden
bid = say
farewell = goodbye

I do not know how long I was in a state of forgetfulness, but it seemed an age. Slowly, awareness came upon me and with it came pain in all the muscles of my body. The thought passed through my brain, "This is death; I am no longer alive." Nevertheless, I rose up, and there in the gray dawn, not fifteen steps away from us, I saw the outline of buildings, and standing before them were our patient and loyal horses!

state = situation
age = a very long time
Awareness came upon me. = I became aware.
nevertheless = however = but
rise up = stand up
dawn ≠ dusk
outline = the general shape of sth
loyal ≠ disloyal
loyal = faithful

I haven't exaggerated a bit about this strange adventure. It occurred just as I have stated it. Our hunting party had actually made camp at midnight in a storm, hopeless and miserable, right in front of a comfortable inn.

exaggerate = make sth look bigger than what it really is
adventure = a story full of excitement
occur = happen
state (v.) = say
miserable = poor and unhappy
right = exactly
inn = a small hotel

The Simplified Story:
A group of hunters were lost in a snowstorm. They were very tired and couldn't continue. Therefore, they decided to build a fire and stay there until the next morning. They didn't have any matches with them and they thought it was easy to build a fire by using their rifles or by rubbing sticks together. They collected some twigs. Then they cleared a place in the snow and piled the twigs on that place. The leader of their group fired his rifle at the twigs, but this experiment was a failure. The shot blew the twigs away and frightened the horses. The horses went away and disappeared. They couldn't look for the horses because they couldn't see well in the thick fog. They didn't give up hope and rubbed sticks together for half an hour to build a fire, but they were unsuccessful. They lost their hope and they thought they were dying. They said goodbye to each other and waited for death in the cold weather. The next morning, when they became aware and there was no storm and they could see better, they understood they had camped out the whole night in front of a comfortable inn. Their horses were also over there.

- First of all, is it true that babies dream less than adults do?
- Well. No, they dream the same amount. They just can't tell us about their dreams. You know, everyone dreams, but some people can't remember any of their dreams.
- Do women sleep more than men?
- Oh, no. That's not true. But as we get older, we need less sleep.
- Is it true that it's dangerous to wake up a sleep walker?
- No, it's the same as waking someone up who's having a dream. In in fact, sleep walkers could get hurt if you don't wake them up. I mean, specially, if they are trying to go downstairs or something.
- And is it true that someone who is a sound sleeper doesn't move during the night?
- Oh, no. We've videotaped people while they sleep and you can see on the videotape that they move around all the time. And it's true for light sleepers and heavy sleepers.
- OK, how about insomnia? If you suffer from it what's the best cure?
- Well, people once said that if you take naps during the day, you'd feel better. But, you know, that's not true. The best cure for insomnia is to reduce the stress in your life and keep to a routine. You know, try to go to bed at the same time every night. Some people find that quiet music helps them, too. Oh, one last thing, when you are asleep, you can't hear anything. No matter what people say, it's not possible to play audiotapes and learn a foreign language for example.
- Oh, I see.

The Future Perfect Tense

Formula:
Subject + will (not) + have + past participle + …
Subject + be (not) going to + have + past participle + …

Point: We use the future perfect when an action will be completed before another action or a particular time in the future.

Examples:

Mary will have cooked the dinner before her husband arrives home.

The engineers are going to have constructed the bridge by January.

The Future Perfect vs. the Future Progressive

The future perfect shows an action that will be completed before a certain time in the future, while the future progressive expresses an action that will be in progress at a certain time in the future. For example:

I will be studying my lessons at 7 p.m. this evening. ➨ The action will be in progress at 7 p.m.

I will have studied my lessons by 9 p.m. this evening. ➨ The action will be finished before 9 p.m.

Five Questions on the Dialog of Unit 3

Summary of the Dialog in Unit 3


Session 6



Accomplishments

Alison’s grandmother is talking to her the day after her birthday. They’re having coffee together.

accomplishment = achievement = something that is successful, or that is achieved after a lot of work or effort

Grandma: So, how does it feel to be twenty-one?
Alison: Kind of strange. I feel I’m not getting ahead fast enough.

get ahead = make progress = to be successful in the work that you do

Grandma: But haven’t you achieved quite a bit already?
Alison: You’re right. But I still haven’t decided on a career.

quite a bit (expression) = quite a lot; a considerable amount
decide on = choose

Grandma: Well, what do you hope you’ll have achieved by, let’s say, thirty?
Alison: For one thing, I hope I’ll have seen more of the world.

for one thing = as one example or reason (out of several potential ones)

Grandma: And anything more important than that?
Alison: Well, I hope I will have set up my own business by then.

The Formula of the Future Perfect Tense:

Subject + will/won’t + have + Past Perfect + …

Examples:
I’ll have achieved…
I’ll have seen…
I’ll have set up...

Point: We use the future perfect tense when an action is completed before another action or a particular time in the future.

Sample Summary:

In this friendly chat, Alison’s grandmother talks to her the day after her birthday while they enjoy coffee together. Grandma asks Alison how it feels to be twenty-one, and Alison admits feeling a bit strange and worried about not progressing quickly enough. Grandma reminds her of her achievements so far, but Alison confesses she hasn’t yet decided on a career. Looking ahead, Grandma asks what Alison hopes to achieve by the age of thirty. Alison shares that she wants to explore more of the world and dreams of having her own business. It’s a delightful conversation filled with reflections on accomplishments and future goals!

Audio Script

- Hello, and welcome to the world's worst criminals. Let's start our program right now, with a story from Nancy Daniels, Nancy.

- Thanks Chuck. This is an incredible story about two young thieves who were caught after robbing a camera store. They got away with some valuable equipment but they made a big mistake. They used an instant camera to take photographs of each other at the scene of the crime. When the black sheets came out of the camera with no pictures on them. They assumed the camera wasn't working correctly. They threw the print away before they started to develop. The police found the photographs, recognized the two men and arrested them the next day.

- Not the brightest bulbs in the pack. All right, our next story comes to us from Kevin Nickles. Kevin, what do you have for us?

- Well, Chuck this is a story about a burglar who is caught by a rabbit.

- Oh. Stop right there, Kevin. Did you say a rabbit?

- Indeed, Chuck. A rabbit named Mopsy who was the pet of the Jenkins a family. Mopsy a rabbit with the ability to thump its foot very loudly. Interrupted a burglary at its owner's home by waking everybody up. Robert Jenkins, his wife, Ann, and their three children were asleep at home when they heard a noise at 3 A. M. The rabbit thumped so loudly that it woke the Jenkins family just in time to see a man and a woman leaving the scene of the crime on stolen mountain bikes. Police later arrested the couple.

- That is quite a bet.

Answer Key

Nancy: Robbery ⇨ The police found the photographs they had thrown away and recognized them.

Kevin: Burglary ⇨ The thumping rabbit woke everybody up and they saw burglars.

The Summary of the Radio Program

1. Thieves and the Instant Camera: In this intriguing story, two young thieves successfully robbed a camera store. However, their downfall came when they decided to document their crime using an instant camera. Little did they know that the camera was functioning perfectly. Instead of capturing incriminating images, it produced blank sheets. The thieves, assuming the camera was faulty, discarded the prints. But the police found these discarded photographs, recognized the two men, and promptly arrested them. It seems their choice of photography equipment led to their undoing.

2. The Rabbit Detective: Our next tale involves an unconventional crime fighter: a rabbit named Mopsy. Mopsy belonged to the Jenkins family, and it possessed an unusual skill—thumping its foot loudly. One fateful night, a burglar attempted to break into the Jenkins’ home. Mopsy’s timely thumping woke up the entire household, including Robert Jenkins, his wife Ann, and their three children. Bleary-eyed but alert, they witnessed a man and a woman fleeing the scene on stolen mountain bikes. Thanks to Mopsy’s unexpected intervention, the police were able to apprehend the couple. Who knew that a rabbit could play such a crucial role in solving a crime?

❖❖❖

The Future Progressive Tense

Formula:
Subject + will (not) + be + Verb + ing + …
Subject + be (not) going to + be + Verb + ing + …

Examples:
I will be teaching English tomorrow at this time.
I’m going to be teaching English tomorrow at this time.

Robert won’t be doing his homework this evening.
Robert isn’t going to be doing his homework this evening.

We will be lying on the beach next week at this time.

Your work will improve. You should take a vacation very soon. Here's what you do. You go somewhere quiet where there are no phones, just relax OK.
- OK, relax. Thanks Greg.
- You're welcome.
- OK, our next caller is Peter on line Two.
- Thank you, Ross. OK, Peter, how can I help?
- I wanna lose weight and my problem is that I always eat between meals. I can't control myself and I don't know what to do.
- Right, Peter. It's OK to snack if you choose your snacks carefully. But don't eat candy or cake or bags of chips. What you should do is eat fruit. If you feel like a snack, have an apple or an orange. They give you vitamins but they don't have many calories.
- Oh. OK. Thanks a lot Greg.
- You're welcome.
- Oh, we have time for just one more caller Greg. It's Maria on line three.
- Greg. I'm 60 years old and want to start exercising. I haven't exercised in 20 years, and I'm afraid I may hurt myself.
- Maria, try walking for fitness. Take it slow at first. Here's an idea. If you usually take the subway or the bus, why not get off two stops early and walk the rest of the way and try swimming regularly. It's great exercise and a lot of fun.
- That's right Greg. Great advice, it's never too late to start exercising and that's all the time we have for now.
- All right, Thanks Ross and I hope you can all join me again tomorrow for "How can I Help?" with me Greg Hutter.
