3. What lesson did Whitney learn? Whitney learned the power of asking for what she wanted, she learned being honest and taking action.
Script: There was a time when Whitney didn't have a lot of friends. She was a bit shy and reserved and kept herself to herself.
When it came time to go to college, Whitney was quite nervous. She was going to share a room with someone she didn't know, with a complete stranger, and live far from her parents. And she had no idea how she was going to make friends in this situation.
The first week of classes changed Whitney's life forever. In her English class, she was asked to say some words about herself. So she told everyone some facts about her life and her studies. The final question for each student was always the same: "What is your goal* for this class?" Whitney said that her goal was to make just one good friend.
While most of the students sat in silence, one student came to Whitney and held out his hand and introduced himself. He asked if she would be his friend. The whole room was silent — all eyes focused on Whitney. She smiled and gave her hand to the boy. A friendship was formed. It was a friendship that lasted all through college. It was a friendship that brought two people together in marriage. Whitney learned the power of asking for what she wanted, being honest and taking action.

Script: Choosing a profession is one of the most important decisions that influences all our lives. It is like choosing a wife or a husband to have children with, choosing friends to rely on. There are many reasons for choosing this or that profession. Nowadays everybody's top priority is money. In our materialistic world young people usually try to get jobs that are paid well — jobs connected with business, information technologies, politics, and so on. Jobs connected with education and science are not so well paid, that is why they are not so popular among young people. Let me give you one piece of advice. Take into consideration such things as talent and personal interest! Usually a person has talent in this or that sphere — science, art, music, etc. If you haven't got abilities for the profession you have chosen, later you will face a lot of difficulties. You will definitely have to study harder and spend more time training. Interests are also very important. Isn't it great, when your job brings you moments of great pride, joy and satisfaction? If you are not interested in what you are doing, you will never achieve good results, and very soon you will feel that you are not in the right place.

1. What job did Alice do? She became a shop assistant.
2. What difficulties did she have? If you are a shop assistant, dealing with customers is one of the most difficult things to do. She discovered that some people came to the shop not to buy things but to talk to them. And the most difficult thing is money- for about a month she kept making mistakes.
3. What kind of knowledge and skills did she get at her first job? Her first job was a very positive experience. She became more tolerant and open, more serious and responsible. She managed to become somehow relaxed and easy-going
Script My name is Alice and I'd like to talk with you about my first job. After leaving school last year, I decided it would be a good idea to visit my relatives in Australia and improve my English. My uncle invited me to work in his shop, and thus I became a shop assistant. Of course I hadn't had any previous experience in this kind of job and I was a bit worried. Those days were the best training you can imagine. I really learnt a lot. If you are a shop assistant, dealing with customers is one of the most difficult things to do. I discovered that some people came to our shop not only to buy things but to talk with us. Now I think I can understand people's behaviour much better than before, and especially that of the elderly. The most difficult thing is money. When you work for the first time you feel really strange about it. For about a month I kept making mistakes. But I was very lucky my uncle always helped me to get out of the trouble. I learnt a lot from him. All in all, my first job was a very positive experience. I think I've become more tolerant and open, more serious and responsible. Even though I had a lot of work to do, I have also managed to become somehow relaxed and easy-going.

1. Why does the first speaker dislike doing homework? Nobody likes to help him with his homework. After school he wants to relax and doesn’t want to do his homework. Moreover, his homework affects his family – whenever they want to go out as a family, they can’t because he has to do his homework and It puts them in a bad mood.
2. What does the second speaker have regrets about? She didn’t get used to doing homework in high school – she usually copied homework.
3. What are the benefits of doing homework according to the third speaker? Doing homework develops the sense of logic, it makes you more intelligent, it enhances your personality, it makes you more disciplined and ready for future working obligations.
Speaker 1 : Homework affects my family. Whenever we want to go out as a family, we can't because I have my homework to do. And it just puts us in a bad mood. Nobody likes to help me with my homework. When I get home I want to relax instead of having to work in my spare time. I wish I could see the day when there is no homework. I hope to see such a day.
Speaker 2: In high school I did very little homework, except right before tests. I usually copied homework. I graduated and got into a really good college: now I'm dying. I can't do my homework properly just because I have huge amounts of it. I practically have no time to finish it all even though I have no job, not to mention that I never party or go out. It's a pity that I haven't got used to doing homework.
Speaker 3: Everybody hates homework at some point just because we get too much of it. I used to hate the idea of homework, but within the last years I realized that any school wants what's best for your own future. You may be young, and you really don't understand what homework does, but it develops a sense of logic. Not only does it make you more intelligent, but it also enhances* your personality. It makes us more disciplined and ready for future working obligations*.

Man: And what about you, Tina? Have you got a story about a journey you
remember?
| Г |
Tina: Yes, I have actually. There's one journey I'll never forget. I was going to Hong Kong, from London. The flight was early in the morning, so I made up my mind to spend the night before the flight in a hotel near the airport. When I woke up it was after five o'clock. You know you have to get there early to check in, right? So I panicked, took my bags and rushed outside, looking for a taxi. Luckily, after a few minutes an airport bus came along. When I got there, it was actually nearly six so I thought, you know, I've missed my plane. The whole terminal was empty except for a huge crowd of people at one end and luckily, that was the queue for my flight. It was delayed! Yeah. I was really pleased... but the delay went from one hour to nine hours! Finally, at around three o'clock, the plane took off. But the worst part was yet to come! After a few hours there was a huge storm and the plane started bouncing around all over the place. I was really scared. And then! The worst thing of all — the oxygen masks dropped down. I put mv mask on and just sat there in absolute terror. Anyway, the plane didn't crash, thank God, and we got to Hong Kong OK in the end, but what a journey! I'll never forget it.

1. How did Uncle Roger explain to the boy why the whales were on the beach? He said that many people believe that whales sometimes throw themselves on the beach. They sort of go Crazy. Dirty water makes them that crazy.
2. How did the people help them? There were a lot of people on the beach. Some people brought ropes* and they pulled him into the water.
3. How did this event affect the story-teller's life? He decided to study the ocean and protect animals. Now he is a member of Greenpeace and his priority is to protect whales both from hunting and the many other daily threats they face.
Script: One night there was a big storm with huge waves. It stopped only in the morning. We were having breakfast when we heard somebody screaming "Whales!" We ran to the beach. I will never forget what I saw that morning. Two whales were lying on the beach, they were so helpless. "Are they dead?" I asked Uncle Roger. "One is dead, but the other is still alive," he answered in a sad voice. "Why did they do it?" I continued asking him. "Nobody knows for sure but many people believe that whales sometimes throw themselves on the beach. They sort of go Crazy. Dirty water makes them that crazy. As you know plants and factories throw rubbish into the water," he added angrily.
There were a lot of people on the beach. Some people brought ropes* and we began to pull him into the water. It was hard as he was very heavy. I will never forget the moment when the whale began moving in the water and a fountain of water came out of it. We all felt happy.
The whale disappeared but the memory stayed in my heart forever. I think it is the main reason why I decided to study the ocean and protect animals. Now I am a member of Greenpeace and my priority is to protect whales both from hunting and the many other daily threats they face.
