B: Well, Jin-won, we have two. The first semester goes from August 16th to December 17th , and the second semester is from January 10th to June 2nd .

A: I see. So you have summer vacation in June and July. I do, too. Do you like your school?

B: I love it. We have lots of special events. For example, there’s a big international festival on September 15th . Students from different countries wear their national costumes to school and perform their national dances. The best performers get prizes.

A: That sounds nice.

B: Then on October 10th we have a sports festival. That’s when kids from all the international schools in Singapore get together for a huge sports competition.

A: How exciting!

B: Yeah! Another thing I really like is the school exchange day. We usually have that on November 1st.

A: How does it work?

B: Well, we spend the day at a different school, and kids from other schools come to our school.

A: That must be interesting.

B: It is. And I always love the music gala on February 16th. It’s a whole day of concerts and performances.

A: That sounds great.

B: Yeah! But my favorite thing about school is our

international trip, from April 20th to the 25th. We always go to a nearby country. Last year we went to Malaysia and had a wonderful time.

A: My parents gave me a new scooter. B: Oh, that’s cool.

A: My birthday’s on Saturday.

B: Oh, great. What have you got planned? A: My family’s going to have a barbecue. B: That sounds nice.

B: Well, my relatives all came, and we ate some terrific food. A: Great!

A: Let’s start with a question about the beautiful Chinese actress Ziyi Zhang. How old do you think she is? Was she born in 1979 or 1981?

B: 1981.

A: And what did you do after you graduated from high school? B: I took a year off and traveled around Mexico. I really

enjoyed it, and my Spanish is pretty good now. When I came back I got a job with the airlines. That was in 1999. A: Just a year before you won your gold medal at the Olympic

Games?

B: Yes, I was selected in... 2.

A: How did you learn to play the guitar, Jae-won? C: Well, I took lessons for a couple of years when I was in

A: That’s terrific.

C: Yeah. Then some guys in town asked me to join their band. A: While you were still in high school?

C: Yeah. We made our first CD, and it sold 100,000 copies in a month.

A: Wow. That’s amazing! C: So I left school.

A: I see. So you didn’t graduate from high school? C: No, and I wish I had.

A: Do you think that... 3.

A: Is it interesting to host a TV show, Laura? B: Yes, very.

A: Have you always lived here in Boston?

B: No, I spent a few years in Italy after high school. But then I came back to go to college.

A: I see. What did you study in college?

B: Drama. It was fun. But after college I worked for a newspaper, writing news stories. Then I applied for a job at a TV station, and eventually I got my own show.

A: How do people spend their free time? 3.

A: Tell me about your graduation. B: It was great. I felt so happy. A: Were your mom and dad there? 4.

A: We need to talk about the party.

B: You’re right. We should make some plans. A: Who are we going to invite?

Unit 6 Places

Lesson 1

1.

A: And here is one of the prettiest lakes in the world, Lake Biwa.

B: Ah, it’s beautiful! A: Yes, it is.

C: And the water’s very clear.

A: Yes, it is. Many artists have painted Lake Biwa, and many writers have written poems about it. It’s also the biggest lake in Japan.

C: How big is it?

A: Well, it’s about 670 square kilometers. C: 670 square kilometers? My goodness! 2.

A: This looks like an interesting place.

B: Yes, it’s a very important temple, Wat Chiang Man. A: It’s very pretty.

B: Yes, it is. When we go inside, you’ll see some wonderful statues.

A: It’s not very big, though.

(11)

A: How old is it?

B: It was built 700 years ago by King Mengrai. 3.

A: On your right is the Menara Kuala Lumpur telecommunications tower.

B: How tall is it? A: It’s 421 meters high.

C: Wow! I guess there’s a good view from up there! A: Yes, there is. The observation deck is the best place to see

the Petronas Twin Towers and the rest of Kuala Lumpur. And there’s a revolving restaurant with great food and views of the whole city. But most importantly, the tower has a high-tech telecommunications center. That’s where all our TV and radio programs come from.

→ Page 33 1.

A: Is there a park near here, Max?

B: Yes, Century Park. It’s behind the train station. A: Can you tell me about it?

B: Well, it has a lake in the middle and a bike path around the outside. You can rent paddleboats and bicycles there. It also has a snack bar and a playground.

A: Thanks very much. And it’s behind the train station? B: Yes, it is.

2.

A: Is the Star Shopping Mall worth a visit, Max? B: Oh, definitely. It has some great stores. A: And they’re not expensive?

B: No, they’re not.

A: It probably has good restaurants, too.

B: Yeah, it does. There’s an excellent Asian restaurant and an Italian restaurant that makes wonderful pizzas.

3.

A: What’s the downtown like here, Max? B: It’s too crowded for me.

A: Are there any good clothing stores downtown? B: Some people say they’re OK, but I prefer to shop at the

mall. The stores downtown never have what I want. 4.

A: What did you think of the art museum, Max?

B: It wasn’t very interesting, to be honest. I didn’t like the things they had on display.

A: I guess you don’t like modern paintings.

B: No, I don’t. I think they’re horrible. And the building itself isn’t very nice. The rooms are small and dark. I think this city should build a new museum and get some better paintings for it.

A: It’s beautiful. B: Yes, it is.

A: The water’s very clear. B: Yes, it is.

A: It probably has good restaurants, too.

B: Yeah, it does. A: It’s not very big. B: No, it isn’t.

A: They’re not expensive. B: No, they’re not.

A: I guess you don’t like modern paintings. B: No, I don’t.

1.

A: I don’t really like the beach. The water isn’t very clean. 2.

A: The science museum has some great exhibits. 3.

A: The new baseball stadium is fantastic, but it’s not in a very good location.

4.

A: The mall is a great place to shop. And the prices are pretty reasonable.

5.

A: The new airport is big and modern, but it isn’t very easy to get to.

6.

A: I love that pool near the university. It isn’t very crowded on weekends.

Lesson 2

1.

A: Excuse me. I’m trying to find the school library. B: Oh. It’s not far from here. Do you know where the

computer center is? A: Is it that big white building?

B: That’s the one. The library’s right next to it. A: Right next to the computer center. OK, thanks. 2.

A: Excuse me. I’m looking for a company called Business Computers.

A: Thanks. Did you say on the next floor? B: That’s right.

3.

A: Is there an ice-cream parlor here?

B: Yes. There’s one on this level next to the café. And there’s another one on the third floor by the elevator. I like it better. It has really good ice cream.

A: Did you say on the second floor? B: No, the third floor.

A: Excuse me. Is there a music store around here?

B: Certainly. It’s about three blocks down this street. It’s on the right, across from the park.

A: Thank you. I’m sorry. Did you say it’s on the right? B: Yes, that’s correct.

A: Thank you very much. 5.

your help.

Unit 7 Lifestyles

Lesson 1

1.

A: Do you surf the Internet much, Soo-ji? What’s your favorite Web site?

B: Well, Tom, there’s a great site that has the latest news about pop stars and movie stars. I go there pretty often.

A: Oh, I love that site, too. Do you like chat rooms? B: Yeah. I think they’re good places for people to talk about

things, like problems they’re having with their girlfriend or boyfriend, and get advice from other people.

2.

A: Josh, how often do you use your phone? Do you make a lot of calls?

B: I hardly ever make calls, actually. It’s easier to send people text messages. And it’s more fun, too.

A: Right. Do you send a lot?

B: I guess I send about 20 a day, and probably get about 20 from my friends. It drives my parents crazy at times. 3.

(13)

yourself?

B: Oh, I have about a hundred, I guess. I get some for presents but I buy most of them on sale. The great thing is I can watch them in my bedroom on my laptop.

A: Uh-huh.

B: My mom and dad think I’m doing my homework, but half the time I’m actually watching a movie.

4.

A: How often do you go out, Kate? Do you ride every day? B: Yeah. I never miss a day: I go out even when it’s cold or

wet.

A: Really? How far do you ride?

B: I usually go about 30 kilometers every morning. A: Wow! So you really like cycling.

B: To me it’s very relaxing. I always listen to music while I’m riding.

→ Page 39 1.

A: What time do you start work, Sophie?

B: I usually get to the club at about 9:00. We have two shows every night. The first show starts at ten o’clock and the second one starts at midnight.

A: So it’s tiring being a singer.

B: Yeah. I don’t get home till after 3 A.M., and then I go to bed. I usually sleep till about noon. I wish I could find a daytime job. I really don’t like this lifestyle.

2.

A: What’s it like being a flight attendant, Carl? Do you work long hours?

B: I do. I have to be at the airport two hours before every flight. Sometimes I have to work all night on long flights. A: You must get tired.

B: Yeah, but I don’t mind it. We always get a day off after a long flight. And I love the travel. Sometimes I get to stay in another country for a day or two.

3.

A: Where do you work, Young-woo? Do you always go to the same place?

B: Well, often I’m at the store, like when we’re showing a new summer or fall collection. Then I usually do two or three shows a day.

A: Uh-huh.

B: But sometimes they want me in magazine photos, so we go to a hotel or a park or something.

A: Right. So, lots of different locations? B: Yeah. Being a model is pretty fun. 4.

A: I guess you work mostly in the evenings, Amy.

B: Yeah. That’s when the players can practice. They’re busy during the day.

A: And what exactly do you do as a coach?

B: Well, we meet at the stadium at seven o’clock and start with some exercises. Then we have a practice game until ten o’clock. After that we go out and get something to eat. A: How nice!

B: It’s OK, but I never get to see my children in the evening. I think I need a daytime job.

A: Do you surf the Internet much? A: What’s your favorite Web site? B: How often do you use your phone? B: Do you make a lot of calls?

C: What’s it like being a flight attendant? C: Do you work long hours?

1.

A: How do you get to school? Do you catch a bus? 2.

A: What do you eat for breakfast? Do you always eat the same thing?

3.

A: What time is your last class? Do you have a class in the evening?

4.

A: How often do you send text messages? Do you send some every day?

A: Hey, this sounds interesting. It’s the Asian finals. B: Oh, yeah? Who’s playing?

A: China and Korea.

B: And is it singles or doubles? A: Both, I think.

B: When is it? A: Saturday afternoon. B: Oh, I can’t go then.

A: That’s too bad. I guess I’ll go by myself. 2.

A: That Springfield guy is gonna do a show here next week. Have you seen him on TV?

B: Yeah. He’s amazing, isn’t he? Have you seen him fly? I wonder how he does that.

A: I don’t know. It’s incredible. And I love it when he pulls things out of the air, like a bird or a rabbit.

B: Yeah. How much are the tickets? A: Oh. They’re $90 each.

B: I don’t think I can afford $90. A: Neither can I.

A: This sounds good. Free entry. Both Saturday and Sunday, downtown on Market Street. There are going to be chefs from Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand.

B: Mm. Sounds great, Ethan.

A: You can watch them cook and then try a lot of the dishes for free.

B: Let’s go Sunday morning. Then we can stay and have lunch there.

A: Great. This is gonna be fun. 4.

A: I see that Canadian group is back in town. B: Oh, really?

A: I went to their show with my girlfriend last year. It was great. You should really try to go this time. They don’t have any animals. It’s a different kind of show, with clowns and acrobats and dancers.

B: I know. My parents are gonna take me to the show for my birthday. I’m really excited about it. Are you gonna go again?

A: That looks really nice on you, Melissa. B: Thanks. I wear it a lot. It’s rather special. A: Really? Is it made of gold?

B: No, it’s not. But the thing is, it used to belong to my grandmother. So I always think of her when I wear it. 2.

A: That’s really cool.

B: Thanks. It’s very handy for keeping my keys and other things in.

A: It’s unusual.

B: Yeah, I think the design is pretty. A: You don’t see many like that around here.

B: No, I bought it on my first trip to Mexico. So it always reminds me of the fantastic vacation I had in Acapulco.

3.

A: How long have you had that one, Christopher?

B: Oh, I’ve had it for years. I suppose I should get a new one. My friends say this one looks really old fashioned. But it still tells the time, and it’s special to me.

A: Why is it so special?

B: Well, it brings me good luck during exams. I wore it when I took my university entrance exam—and here I am! 4.

A: Could I borrow that, please, Li-hong? B: Sure, it writes really well.

A: Do you use it a lot?

B: Not really. I write most things on my laptop, but I always use it when I send someone a postcard.

A: Did someone give it to you?

B: No, it was a school prize. In fact, it’s the only prize I’ve ever won at school. That’s why it’s special to me. 3. Listen and Understand Class CD 2 Track 19

1.

A: May I show you our new cell phone? It’s only $80. B: Yeah, it looks awesome. What can it do?

A: Well, of course it’s lightweight like all the others, but it has one brand-new feature. Let me show you: “Andrew Choi.” B: That’s amazing. So you don’t have to dial the number. You

just say the name.

A: Yes, you can say the name or the number, and the phone dials for you.

B: Cool! I’d love to have one of those, and the price is pretty good.

2.

A: This camera looks kind of big.

B: True, but tiny cameras are often hard to use. This one is easy to use. And watch this.

A: Wow! That’s neat.

B: You see, it folds up when you’re not using it. Now it’s small enough to carry in your wallet.

A: That’s a cute idea, but I’m happy with the camera I have. 3.

A: Here’s our new MP3 player. You can store hundreds of songs on it.

B: You can do that on any MP3 player. So what’s special about this one?

A: Well, you can play it underwater. So you can listen to music in the shower or at the pool.

B: Hmm. I don’t know. Who needs to listen to music while they’re swimming?

4.

A: Is this a TV?

B: Yes, it’s a projection TV. This box receives the TV signal and sends the picture anywhere you want, like to your bedroom or living room wall. You don’t need a TV screen. A: And what’s the picture quality like?

B: It’s much better than the picture on any plasma or LCD screen.

A: That’s terrific. I need a better TV, and this one could be moved from room to room.

A: May I show you our new cell phone? B: Yeah, it looks awesome.

A: Let me show you. B: That’s amazing! A: This phone dials for you. B: Cool!

A: Watch this. B: Wow! That’s neat. 4. Tune In Class CD 2 Track 21 → Page 45

A: How long have you had that new camera? B: I bought it last month.

A: It looks nice. Was it expensive? B: No, it was on sale for $30. A: Amazing! Was it made in Japan? B: No, it was made in Germany. A: Oh.

B: Look. It actually unfolds to get bigger.

A: Wow! That’s awesome. And how much does it weigh? B: It only weighs 200 grams.

A: Cool. How long does the battery last? B: It lasts up to 50 hours.

A: That’s neat. You made a good choice.

Lesson 2

A: Yesterday I found an article in the paper about the weird things people collect.

B: Oh, yeah?

A: It’s amazing what people collect. There’s this guy in the United States named Peter Lavinger...

B: OK.

A: And he’s got 1,300 autographed drumsticks! B: Really? That’s awesome!

A: Yeah. He even has one from Ringo Starr of the Beatles! B: Wow! Ringo played with it?

A: He played with it and autographed it. Then there’s another guy called John Meisenheimer who has a huge collection of yo-yos. Let’s see here . . . He has 23 boxes of yo-yos. How many yo-yos do you think it takes to fill 23 boxes? B: I have no idea.

A: 4,251.

B: That’s a lot of yo-yos!

A: Yeah. And there’s an Italian guy, Alessandro Benedetti, who collects music records made of colored vinyl. He has more than a thousand! Eighty-eight have pictures on them and 23 are unusual shapes. I’d like to look through that collection.

B: Me, too.

A: But I think the coolest collection in this article is banana objects! Ken Bannister of California has collected 17,000 things that look like bananas or have pictures of bananas on them.

B: That’s crazy…
