W: Sam, have you decided on the pose
for your sculpture?
M: Yes. The one holding her hands above
her head.
W: Looks nice. Then can you help me choose
mine?
M: How about this girl standing on one
leg?
W: You mean the one spreading both of
her arms?
M: No, the one skating on one foot arching
her back.
W: It's not bad but I prefer the pose
skating on one foot holding her other
skate.
M: I see. That pose makes her look graceful
like a swan.
W: It looks fine, but it can be difficult
to make a sculpture with this pose.
M: Your skill is good enough. Don't worry.
W: OK. I'll go for it.

W: Jack! What's with the long face?
M: It's nothing, Mrs. Smith.
W: Oh, come on. What's the problem? Maybe
I can be of help.
M: Well, It's just me.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, I've studied so hard for my mid-term
exam for the past two months. But my grades
are still the same.
W: Jack! You've only been studying for
a couple of months. If you keep working
on it, you'll get good news for sure.
M: But I feel like it's the best I can
do.
W: No, Jack. Trust me. I've seen a lot
of students like you. Just keep working.
M: Do you really think I can do it?
W: Of course.
M: OK. Mrs. Smith. I'll keep it up, and
I'll try harder.

M: This is a piece of writing. People
write this to express their feelings or
thoughts. This has words which are chosen
for their sound and the images that they
suggest, not just for their obvious meanings.
The words are usually arranged in single
lines. In general, this has a repeated
rhythm for musical effects, and often
the lines rhyme at the end. In fact, this
varies in length from very short to long.
This can be divided according to its theme
such as a lyric, an epic and a drama in
verse.

W: So why didn't my car start?
M: The battery was dead.
W: Really? That's the second time it has
happened this month.
M: I recommend you replace the battery
if it happens again.
W: OK, I will. I've been driving this
car for 10 years. No wonder it's got this
kind of trouble. Are there any other problems?
M: The front tires are a little worn.
W: Should they be replaced with new ones?
M: Not necessarily. Just rotate the front
tires with the rear ones. That'll do for
a couple of months.
W: Can you do it for me? Will it take
long?
M: It'll take about 10 minutes.

M: It's been a long journey. My back
has been aching the whole way.
W: Me, too. What time are we supposed
to arrive in Seoul?
M: According to the driver, around 2 as
long as there are no traffic jams.
W: I think we'd better have an early lunch
here.
M: How many minutes do we have before
the bus leaves?
W: The driver said we have to get back
on the bus by 11:20.
M: Twenty minutes is too short for a break.
We should get something to eat on the
bus.
W: Seems like we have no other option.
M: That sandwich looks delicious. Would
you like one?
W: Yes. Can you buy one for me? I need
to go to the restroom first.

W: Sure. How may I help you?
M: I missed my flight to New York because
of the terrible traffic. I just don't
know what to do.
W: May I see your ticket, please? [Pause]
With this ticket, you can get a refund,
or I can arrange another flight at no
extra charge if you'd like.
M: Excellent. Could you check the time
for the next flight, please?
W: Yes. It's at 11:30.
M: Oh, that's perfect. Could you put me
on the passengers' list, please?
W: Certainly, sir.
M: Whew, thanks. Now that I have some

where the gift shops are?
W: Yes. They're just around the corner.

W: Thousands of dogs are abandoned every
year and are in need of a new home and
family. Are you interested in adopting
a dog? Here are the things you need to
think about in advance. Is a dog the right
pet for you? Can you afford a dog including
the costs of food and visits to the vet?
Have you got time to take care of a dog?
You need to make sure someone will look
after the dog if you're sick or go away.
What if one of your family members is
allergic to dogs? You also have to keep
in mind that dogs need affection as well
as basic care. They want a family who'll
never abandon them again.

W: I'm thinking about quitting my job.
M: How come? Do you still have difficulty
getting along with your coworker, Tom?
W: Not at all. We just had different opinions
on the project. Nothing personal between
him and me.
M: You tell me you have too much to do
at work sometimes. Is that the reason?
W: I used to but not any more. Actually,
I've got a really nice offer from Kings
Public High School.
M: Awesome! You've always wanted to teach
students in a school.
W: I have. They asked me to teach English
literature to the second year students.
M: Why are you hesitating? You can't miss
this chance.
W: Do you think so? Okay. I've made up
my mind now.

text book.
M: Let me take a look. [Pause] Where are
you going to order from?
W: I'm thinking of Pre-Shop.

W: I know, but there's none in stock.
M: Oh, I see. Then... Sun-Zone has stock.
W: Yes, but their delivery takes five
days. I want to get it earlier.
M: OK. What about C-Bay or Inter-Mall?
It takes three to four days.
W: Well, I just want it to be delivered
as soon as possible. I'd like to start
studying before class starts in two days.
M: OK. It's up to you.

W: This is 'Voice Of Students.' I'm your
host Linda Joe. Today we have a special
guest. Please welcome Hugh Jonas, president
of the Students' International Film Festival.
M: Hi, everybody.
W: Thanks for coming on the program. I
hear this festival is the world's largest
annual film festival for students. How
long have you been doing this?
M: Well, we're in our twelfth year.
W: Wow, how many films are planned to
be screened this year?
M: There'll be 103 films from 63 countries.
W: What are some of the must-see films
you recommend?
M: It's difficult to choose among them.
However, if pushed, I'd say Brave Angels
made by students from Ghana. It's about
endangered species in Africa.
W: Sounds interesting. When does the festival
begin?
M: It starts this coming Friday, April
22nd.

W: Hey, Frank! What took you so long?
I've been waiting for about 20 minutes.
Did you get stopped by customs?
M: Not at all. I had nothing to declare.
W: Then, what happened?
M: The guy right ahead of me had so much
food in his luggage. Dried seaweed, cup
noodles, red pepper paste, kimchi... You
name it, he had it.
W: Really? What did the customs officers
do?
M: They had to check every single item,
which took quite a long time.
W: Oh, how unfortunate! Let's get out
of here and try some local food.

M: Gee, are you from the Stone Age? It's
one of the major social networking sites
that allows you to share data with your
friends.
W: I don't really understand computers.
M: You don't have to. It's just about
communicating.
W: Oh, I don't know. I think nothing can
replace face-to-face relationships.
M: You should check it out. It's a great
way to stay in touch.
W: Maybe I should give it a try. How do
I do it?
M: I'll show you step by step. Where's
your computer?

a double discount.

W: Welcome to Travel News. Are you planning
to go on a backpacking trip? Here are
my tips for packing your backpack. First,
in case the weather is rainy, it's better
to put anything of value, books and electronics
in plastic zippered bags. When you put
things in your backpack, put larger and
heavier items at the bottom. You should
also consider how often you will need
certain items. Put the items you use most
often on the top. Plus, your backpack
should be no more than 75% full. Otherwise,
you'll have to carry extra bags with gifts
and souvenirs along the way. Stick to
one bag if possible. If you're able to
walk around lightly, your trip will be
much better. The better you are prepared,
the more you'll enjoy your trip. Good
Luck!

M: Let's go in-line skating.
W: Wait! You aren't wearing your protective
gear.
M: What do you mean?
W: I mean things like a helmet, arm guards
and knee pads.
M: I don't need that kind of stuff. I've
done this since I was a little kid.
W: An accident can happen to anyone at
anytime. You can't be too careful.
M: But those things are so uncomfortable.
W: Haven't you heard about James's injury?
M: What happened to him?
W: He broke his wrist while he was in-line
skating without his arm guards.

W: It sounds really familiar. I think
it's a song from my day and age.

song among teens.

the Rocket Boys not the Tornadoes.

two one-hour exams, and a ten-minute break
between the two sessions.

in the lectures.

month. It's 100 dollars.
M: What? 100 dollars? That's too much.
W: Yeah. It's time to do something about
it.

water run while I brush my teeth or while
I do the dishes.

machine when it is full.

W: Rachel and her best friend went on
a one-week package tour to Greece. The
first three days were great, but the fourth
day was different. Her friend wanted to
go to the morning street market at 7 a.m.
but Rachel was very tired and decided
not to go. Instead, they agreed to meet
before the museum tour at 10. When Rachel
got up, it was already 9:40. She was afraid
of not making it on time, so she had to
leave the room in a hurry. However, when
they both got back to the hotel after
the museum tour, Rachel couldn't find
the key to their room. Then she remembered
leaving the room without the key. In this
situation, what will Rachel probably say
to her friend?
