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.

Dialog: UNIT 8
Brian has been having frequent headaches, and feeling generally run-down. At the office, Ken notices that Brian doesn’t look well.
Ken: Say, Brian, you look terrible. Something wrong?
Brian: I’m not sure. I always feel sort of run-down, and headaches keep coming.
Ken: That doesn’t sound too good. Are you taking any medication for it?
Brian: Just aspirin. But it doesn’t seem to help.
Ken: What did the doctor say the problem is?
Brian: Well, he believes if I don’t slow down, I’ll be in real trouble.
Ken: You mean he was referring to stress – all the tension from work?
Brian: Yeah. But the more I try not be nervous, the more nervous I feel.
Sample Summary:
Brian has been experiencing frequent headaches and feeling generally run-down. Ken notices that Brian doesn’t look well and asks if something is wrong. Brian explains that he always feels run-down and has headaches. Ken asks him about medication, and Brian mentions he takes aspirin, but it doesn’t seem to help. Brian shares that the doctor believes if he doesn’t slow down, he’ll be in real trouble. Ken wants to know if the doctor was referring to stress and the tension from work. Brian confirms, but he says that trying not to be nervous makes him feel even more nervous. It seems Brian’s situation is quite challenging. Stress and tension can be harmful for his well-being and his health. Taking aspirin is not enough. Perhaps relaxation techniques or stress management can be beneficial for him. He should remember that self-care is necessary!

Unit 7: Reading
I am not just a part of you; I am your personality, your reactions, your mental capacity. I govern your moods, tell you when you are sick or hungry. In fact, I control you completely. Even when you are asleep, I continue to handle traffic that the world's telephone system wouldn't be able to manage.
If something potentially dangerous happens to you, I instantly shift gears. If you slip on ice, I signal your arms to break your fall. Finally, if you fall down, I let you know you are hurt. The event is kept in my memory to warn you to walk carefully on ice in the future.
In a thousand ways I baby you. In return, I am very demanding. Although I represent only two percent of your body weight, I require twenty percent of the oxygen you use and a fifth of the blood your heart pumps. I am completely dependent on a constant supply. Let there be a temporary shortage, and you faint. Let the supply be cut off for a few minutes, and I'll be badly hurt — paralysis or death may occur. I also demand a steady supply of food — glucose.
I have distinct right and left hemispheres. My left half controls much of the activity on the right side of your body; my other hemisphere takes care of the left. With right-handed people, the left hemisphere is dominant. With lefties the reverse is true. Recent studies suggest that my left side controls your ability to talk, write and do mathematics. My right side is basically mute but can do other things such as making special judgments.
Despite my great strength, there are many dangers that may threaten me. Tumors can cause a variety of disasters. But fortunately, tumor removal, when possible, is now completely safe. Stroke is another problem that might occur if for any reason I don't get enough food and a part of me is damaged or destroyed. Recovery from stroke depends on which part and how much of me has been destroyed. A third enemy is brain injury. Although your skull provides me with protection, I can still be injured by blows, accidents, and falls. I respond in many ways. For example, a blow may make me swell like a hurt finger. But because I am in a bony prison, I have no room to swell, and pressure develops. This can be very dangerous and might lead to death.
Nevertheless, I can continue to serve you well if I am taken care of properly. My powers, as you noticed, are mighty, and my story is by no means over. If my accomplishments seem large — speech, memory, reasoning and all the other wonders — they may be nothing compared to what lies ahead. For men a few hundred thousand years in the future, I may seem quite as primitive as the Neanderthal man's brain seems today.
Sample Summary:
Your brain controls your personality, reactions, and mental abilities. It manages your moods and tells you when you’re sick or hungry. Even while you sleep, it handles complex tasks. If you slip on ice, it quickly signals your arms to break your fall and remembers this to warn you later. Though it’s only 2% of your body weight, it needs 20% of your oxygen and blood. Without a constant supply, you could faint or worse. Glucose is its main fuel. The brain has two sides: the left controls the right side of your body and handles tasks like talking and math, while the right side controls the left and manages other functions. Dangers to the brain include tumors, strokes, and injuries. Despite these risks, the brain is very powerful and its abilities are amazing. In the future, our brains might seem as primitive as those of Neanderthals do to us now.

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:

Henry:

- 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!

After finally finding his way back to the campsite, he attempted to cook a juicy steak over the campfire but ended up burning it to a crisp. Later, noisy neighbors kept him awake, and heavy rain flooded his tent, forcing him to sleep in the car. To top it off, animals stole his food, and he even had a flat tire on the way home. Despite all this, Tom is considering going camping again next weekend, believing that nobody could have such bad luck two weeks in a row! 😅🏕️

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.

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.

Michael Essien, a former Chelsea star, is known for sleeping about 14 hours a day. He believed that this extensive sleep routine helped him maintain his energy and performance on the pitch.
Why do we dream?
Dreams are still a bit of a mystery, but here are some ideas about why we dream:
Memory: Dreams might help us remember things better by organizing our memories.
Emotions: They could help us deal with our feelings, like stress or happiness.
Problem-Solving: Dreams might let us think of new ideas and solve problems.
Brain Cleanup: They might help our brain get rid of unneeded information.
Self-Reflection: Dreams could help us understand ourselves better.
Scientists are still studying dreams to learn more about them.
Sample Summary:
Sleep is important because it helps our body fix itself and stay healthy. When we’re awake, certain chemicals in our body build up and make us feel tired, and things like coffee can keep us awake, while alcohol can make us sleepy. While we sleep, our heart and breathing slow down, and after a while, our eyes move quickly, which means we are dreaming. People have different needs for sleep; some need a lot, and some need less. Not sleeping enough can make us see things that aren’t there, like a DJ who didn’t sleep for many days. Humans are different from animals because a short sleep during the day can be good for us, like pilots who take a nap before landing a plane. So, it’s okay to take a nap sometimes because it’s good for you.

- Doctor Synthia Lee is the director of the National Sleep Institute. I've got a few questions for you about this sleep IQ quiz.
- OK.
- 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.
Summary
Dr. Synthia Lee, who works at the National Sleep Institute, talked about sleep. She said that babies dream just as much as grown-ups do, but they can’t tell us about their dreams. Men and women sleep about the same amount, but as people get older, they don’t need as much sleep. It’s okay to wake up someone who is sleepwalking because they might get hurt if you don’t, like if they try to walk downstairs. People move around a lot when they sleep, whether they are light sleepers or deep sleepers. If someone can’t sleep well, it’s better for them to try to worry less and go to bed at the same time every night instead of taking naps during the day. Soft music might help too. Lastly, you can’t learn new things like a language from tapes while you are asleep. Dr. Lee wants people to know the truth about sleep so they can sleep better.

Sample Summary:
The article talks about why parents and teenagers sometimes argue. It says that parents get upset when teenagers are messy or ask for things that cost money. Parents have a lot to do, like cleaning the house and paying bills. The article tells teenagers to help out at home, understand that money is important, and be nice to family even if they miss fun parties. It also says that parents work hard to make food, so teenagers should eat what’s made and say thank you. If teenagers are more thoughtful and help out, they can get along better with their parents and might be allowed to do more things they enjoy.

Yashiko is talking to the hotel desk clerk.
Yashiko: Excuse me, what’s the best way to get downtown from the hotel?
Desk Clerk: Let me see. You can take a cab, a bus, or the hotel shuttle.
Yashiko: Which one would you recommend?
Desk Clerk: If you’re not in a hurry, it would be a good idea to take the hotel shuttle.
Yashiko: All right. Where do I catch it?
Desk Clerk: Look for the shuttle sign outside the hotel. When it comes by, just wave.
Yashiko: Do you know where I can get the ticket?
Desk Clerk: You don’t need to. It’s a courtesy shuttle. Just tip the driver if you want.
The Hotel Shuttle
hotel shuttle = the bus of the hotel which travels regularly between the hotel and the downtown area
Yashiko is talking to the hotel desk clerk.
desk clerk = receptionist
Yashiko: Excuse me, what’s the best way to get downtown from the hotel?
Desk Clerk: Let me see. You can take a cab, a bus, or the hotel shuttle.
downtown (American) => the city center (British)
Point:
When “downtown” is an adverb of place, we don’t use a preposition before it.
❌I’m going to downtown.
✔️I’m going downtown.
❌I’m in downtown.
✔️I’m downtown.
Point:
But when “downtown” is an adjective, we may use a preposition because of the noun which follows it.
Example:
Does this bus go to downtown Chicago?
I’m in the downtown area.
cab = taxi
Yashiko: Which one would you recommend?
Desk Clerk: If you’re not in a hurry, it would be a good idea to take the hotel shuttle.
The desk clerk recommends Yashiko to take the hotel shuttle.
The desk clerk recommends taking the hotel shuttle.
The desk clerk recommends that Yashiko should take the hotel shuttle.
The desk clerk suggests taking the hotel shuttle.
The desk clerk suggests that Yashiko should take the hotel shuttle.
Yashiko: All right. Where do I catch it?
Desk Clerk: Look for the shuttle sign outside the hotel. When it comes by, just wave.
All right = ok
come by = arrive
Yashiko: Do you know where I can get the ticket?
Desk Clerk: You don’t need to. It’s a courtesy shuttle. Just tip the driver if you want.
You don’t need to. = You don’t need to get a ticket.
It’s a courtesy shuttle. = The shuttle is free (of charge).
tip (verb) = give (someone) a sum of money as a reward for a service.
Sample Summary:
Yashiko is at a hotel and wants to know how to go to the city center. The person at the hotel's front desk tells Yashiko that there are three ways: a taxi, a bus, or the hotel's free bus. Yashiko asks which is best, and the desk person says the hotel's free bus is good if Yashiko is not in a hurry. Yashiko asks where to find the bus, and the desk person says to wait outside the hotel and wave when the bus with a "shuttle" sign comes. Yashiko asks about buying a ticket, but the desk person says it's free, and Yashiko can give the driver some money as a thank you if Yashiko wants.

Seven Questions on the Reading of Unit 3Summary of the Reading in Unit 3
Workbook (Unit 3)
Session 7
The Future Perfect Tense
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.

- 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.

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.

The Summary of the Radio Program
1. Thieves and the Instant Camera:In this attractive story, two young thieves successfully robbed a camera store. However, their downfall came when they decided to document their crime using an instant camera. They didn't know that the camera was functioning perfectly. Seemingly the camera produced blank sheets. The thieves thought the camera was faulty and threw away the prints. But the police found these discarded photographs, recognized the two men, and quickly arrested them.
2. The Rabbit Detective:
Our next story is about an unusual crime fighter: a rabbit named Mopsy. Mopsy belonged to the Jenkins family, and it had an unusual skill—thumping its foot loudly. One night, a burglar tried to break into the Jenkins’ home. Mopsy’s timely thumping woke up the whole family, including Robert Jenkins, his wife Ann, and their three children. They saw a man and a woman running away from the scene of the crime on stolen mountain bikes. Thanks to what Mopsy did, the police were able to capture the couple.
The Reading of Unit 3
Mystery
The police knew who the man was and that the letter was still in his possession. But nobody knew where to find the letter even though detectives followed him in a cab everywhere. He did not carry the letter about with him, for the police had more than once arranged to attack him as if they were robbers and thoroughly searched him, but without any result. It was clear to the police that he had hidden the letter somewhere in his house, but they couldn't prove it.
They examined every square inch of the house; they took the furniture to pieces; they even satisfied themselves that he had not buried it anywhere near the house. All their efforts were in vain, and they were disappointed. They offered a large reward for the return of the missing letter.
The chief of the police reported the case to a friend of his, who convinced himself that the thief must be an extremely clever fellow. He said that the thief had used his brain. He thought that the thief had reasoned that the police would expect to find the letter hidden out of sight. He also thought the thief had believed that the police would fix their minds so firmly on finding a letter which they could not see that they would pay no attention to the letters they could see.
This turned out to be exactly the way in which the guilty man had reasoned. He had put the stolen letter with two or three others in a letter holder hanging on the wall in view of everybody who entered the room.
And so, the policeman's friend finally claimed the promised reward in return for solving the mystery after the police had arrested the thief.
Sample Summary:
In a story by Edgar Allan Poe, someone steals a very important letter. This letter helps the thief get power. The police know who he is and that he has the letter, but they can’t find it. They look everywhere, even taking apart his house, but they don’t see the letter.The police chief talks to a smart friend about the problem. The friend thinks the thief has hidden the letter where everyone can see it because the police would only look for hidden things. It turns out the friend is right. The letter was with other letters on the wall, and everyone could see it. After the police catch the thief, the friend gets a reward for figuring out the mystery.

Session 6
Unit 3: Dialog
Alison’s grandmother is talking to her the day after her birthday. They’re having coffee together.
Grandma: So, how does it feel to be twenty-one?
Alison: Kind of strange. I feel I’m not getting ahead fast enough.
Grandma: But haven’t you achieved quite a bit already?
Alison: You’re right. But I still haven’t decided on a career.
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.
Grandma: And anything more important than that?
Alison: Well, I hope I will have set up my own business by then.
Accomplishments
accomplishment = achievement = something that is successful, or that is achieved after a lot of work or effort
American => /əˈkɑːm.plɪʃ.mənt/
British => /əˈkʌm.plɪʃ.mənt/
Alison’s grandmother is talking to her the day after her birthday. They’re having coffee together.
Yesterday was Alison’s birthday.
Grandma: So, how does it feel to be twenty-one?
Alison: Kind of strange. I feel I’m not getting ahead fast enough.
How does it feel to be 21? = How do you feel about being 21 years old?
kind of = sort of => (used when you are trying to explain or describe something, but you cannot be exact)
kinda (colloquial) = kind of
colloquial = conversational and informal
strange = unusual, odd, abnormal
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.
achieve /əˈtʃiːv/ = accomplish = to succeed in finishing something or reaching an aim, especially after a lot of work or effort
quite a bit (expression) = quite a lot; a considerable amount
Haven’t you achieved quite a bit already? = Haven’t you had many achievements in your life until now?
decide = make up one’s mind, make a decision
decide on = choose
I still haven’t decided on a career. = I haven’t chosen my job yet.
career = job, occupation, profession
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.
let’s say = for example
by = before
by thirty = before the age of 30
for one thing = as one example or reason (out of several potential ones)
Point:
You can say for "one thing "when you are explaining a statement or answering a question, to suggest that you are not giving the whole explanation or answer, and that there are other points that you could add to it.
The Formula of the Future Perfect Tense:
Subject + will/won’t + have + Past Participle+ …
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.
Grandma: And anything more important than that?
Alison: Well, I hope I will have set up my own business by then.
by then = before that time
set up = establish, found
• Steve Jobs founded the Apple Corporation.
founder = a person who establishes something new
• Steve Jobs was the founder of the Apple Corporation.
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!

Health Care
The specialist may then arrange a time for the patient to be admitted into a hospital or nursing home where all the necessary equipment is on hand. Sometimes, the original doctor is a surgeon, so he himself may perform the operation.
Some diseases are infectious or contagious like those commonly caught by children, for example, chicken pox and scarlet fever, while others may simply be due to old age. Older people may suffer from indigestion, rheumatism, heart trouble, and high blood pressure far more often than the young. Still other causes of ill health may be due to misfortune or accidents. Examples of these are burns, scalds, wounds, blood poisoning, food poisoning, and bone fractures. Some of the commonest things used to prevent or cure these conditions are pills, powders, ointments, sleeping pills, injections, bandages, disinfectants, and syrups.
Special parts of the body are treated by special doctors. Dentists extract or fill teeth and make dentures, using equipment such as drills, forceps and water sprays. Oculists examine eyes, test sight, and write out prescriptions for opticians. Opticians make glasses or contact lenses. Altogether, it takes several doctors to keep you healthy.
Sample Summary:
Doctors who see patients for common sicknesses like colds or small pains give them medicine. If someone is very sick, they might send them to a hospital. Some patients need to see doctors who are experts in certain illnesses or surgeries.
There are doctors for every part of the body. For example, dentists take care of teeth and eye doctors check your eyesight. People who make glasses or contact lenses are called opticians. Many different doctors work together to help you stay healthy.
