[Music]
giving gifts
[Music]
eliza
have you planned anything for the
holiday yet
i am thinking about it
i need to prepare some gifts for my
parents when i come back home
yes the holiday season is coming up and
many kinds of gifts for new year’s are
now available at the market
new year is the biggest holiday in my
country so gifts are necessary
so when do people give gifts or presents
in your country
in my country people give presents on
some different occasions
such as wedding anniversaries
birthdays
parents day or valentine’s day
perhaps when people buy their first
apartment or home they also give gifts
people also give gifts during religious
festivals like christmas holidays and
sometimes they give gifts at graduation
ceremonies
i agree
what kinds of gifts do you usually
choose
i usually take something like some
flowers for my grandmother
i know she loves flowers so they always
make her happy which is great
i give chocolate and jewelry for women
while wallets are watches for men since
these are very much useful in a man’s
everyday life
i think you like giving expensive gifts
right
yes i feel like giving valuable presents
means giving importance to the person
who receives the gifts
but i think those gifts still have
reasonable price and are decent
you know i’m not as generous as i should
be and i’m rather tight-fisted when it
comes to usually giving presents only on
birthdays
yeah
we should only make sure that the gift
will bring a smile to the face of the
receiver
that’s true
do you spend a lot of time choosing
gifts
i really enjoy looking for gifts for
people because it is really gratifying
to be a part of a good cause
especially if it involves making someone
happy
well i am totally the opposite
for me it also gives me an idea as to
what kinds of new gift items are
available at the market
because you work in the industry
that makes sense
what about your time while choosing
presents
so to answer your question
i love to buy a suitable gift for others
but i do not spend hours after hours
doing so
instead i visit a large shop or an
online store that has numerous gift
items and then i quickly pick a gift
but do you think sending gifts is
important
of course yes the purpose of giving
gifts is to show how much someone means
to us and to celebrate the person who
the gift is in honor of
i would like to add that it can also be
aimed at amending our past bitterness
and misunderstanding in order to refresh
our relationship
on the other hand
giving and receiving today has become a
commercial activity
sometimes we are forced to give and
receive
gifts i totally agree with your point
nowadays presents are much more symbolic
rather than substantial or useful
people these days often give and receive
technology related gifts which were
quite rare in the past
i would say that in the past
specifically 10 years ago
the types of gifts exchanged were
primarily clothes toys household
appliances and books apart from the fact
that they weren’t related to technology
they were also significantly important
educational and in most cases really
expensive
globalization has given us products from
more places around the world to enjoy
and online shopping has made it a lot
easier for us to acquire them without
the hassle of going to shops
i only like something practical
it might be kind of boring but i like to
get things like socks and underwear
because i always need those
and i don’t like shopping for those
things
i rarely see anyone giving underwears
presents dan
that’s my dream
or perhaps food or drink
food or drink is more suitable
if it’s a friend’s house then i will
give you a bottle of wine or something
like that
oh
i just realized i often have different
ideas for gifts
i also tend to travel a lot so i always
try to bring back souvenirs for family
and friends so i can share in some small
way my experience
do you prefer sending or receiving gifts
i like to be given something
it’s exciting to unwrap a present and
see what it is
also it shows that someone cares about
you
or maybe it just means they want
something in return
so what is the last time you received a
gift
oh this is hilarious just a couple hours
ago i received a bag of sweet potatoes
from the owner of the mini supermarket
at the corner of my street
i still don’t know why she gave me but
she said not to worry about paying for
them
it was a complete surprise but a really
nice gesture by her
is she close to you that much
not really
that’s why i was quite shocked
when is your last time
my friends presented me with a few books
on my last birthday
they bought four novels that they knew i
wanted to read and surprised me on my
birthday
two of these books are written by john
grissom
the other two are
the fault in our stars and the
handmaid’s tale
i know those two books too
the content is really good
yes and i received some money on my
birthday as well
what do you think about giving money as
a gift
it’s a down-to-earth choice since then
the receiver can put that money to use
on
pressing matters or get something that
they will really enjoy and it’s a safe
choice for events like birthdays or
weddings
that’s true
anyway i’m going to the supermarket now
to have a look at gifts
bye
hope you choose many knife gifts for
relatives
[Music]
wedding
situation one
amelia and her daughter sophie go to her
friend’s wedding
sophie is so excited she asks her mom
about the wedding she has attended
wow everything is so pretty like
paradise
i like this pink theme what do you think
mom
[Music]
i like it too
a beautiful wedding is every girl’s
dream even myself back then
i saw photos of your wedding it was
amazing too mom
the most important thing was to marry my
favorite person which is your dad
i hope that i have a wedding like that
one day
how much do you reckon it costs to pull
this wedding off
i think it cost them a lot of money
do you hope to have a wedding as big as
theirs
i don’t think so i want to have a bigger
wedding
why do you want to have a bigger wedding
i want to have a large wedding that
everyone will remember
you can have a small wedding and people
will still remember it
as long as you marry your love your
wedding will be perfect
have you ever attended someone’s wedding
who were they
yes a lot
some of my cousins friends colleagues
but the most memorable one is my best
friends
who went with you
i went with one of my classmates
where was the wedding organized
it was held in a restaurant downtown
was it amazing
how many people were there
it was great and it was a small wedding
only her close friends and relatives
were invited
what did people do at the wedding
they enjoyed the wedding feast
sang and danced together after giving
the couple the best wishes of
everlasting happiness
what did the bride and groom
wear the bride wore a white wedding gown
while the groom wore a black suit in
thai
what was the most interesting ritual at
the wedding
exchanging rings is the ritual i’m quite
interested in
it was so emotional a lot of people
cried
the groom and bride’s eyes were
sparkling and then i knew they were
meant for each other
our weddings especially venton’s one’s
life
yes along with birthdays
because we only marry once or taught
twice usually
and the ceremony is intimate and special
things like that don’t happen a lot
do people get married early
not really the average age to get
married for women is 27 and for men is
what is the ideal age to get married in
your opinion
well
27 would be my ideal age
women are most charming and mature at
that age
i guess
how have weddings changed recently
the most noticeable change is the
reduction of rituals in a wedding
there used to be more steps in weddings
years ago than there are now
like what mom
for example after the ceremony the bride
had to speak to her parents first
or the family of the bride would
essentially pay the husband to be a sum
of money
as a sort of thanks for being willing to
marry their daughter
that’s so strange nobody does that
anymore
and the couple needed to bury a bottle
of bourbon at their wedding site
exactly one month before the ceremony to
have a sunny sky on their wedding
it was more complicated and
superstitious back then
i want a simple wedding without any of
those old-fashioned and weird traditions
sure honey
when it’s about time we will plan your
wedding together
thank you mom it will be so much fun
[Music]
situation two
henry flies to america from england to
attend his friend michael’s wedding
he’s curious about the wedding
traditions in america so he discusses
with michael’s friend dave about the
traditions in england in america
hi henry welcome to america
thank you so much for being here it
means a lot michael
it’s my pleasure
this is the first time i attended an
american wedding i’m so excited
come this way this is your seat
thanks
so i heard that american weddings are
different from weddings in england
couples living in england do not have as
many pre-wedding activities as those in
the united states
really
what activities do you guys have
well we do have bachelor and
bachelorette parties we do not hold
bridal showers or rehearsal dinners
are bachelor and bachelorette parties in
the uk different from those in the us
while the party themes in the uk are
extravagant the budget isn’t excessive
the average brit spends about 507 euros
on their weekend pre-wedding parties
in the u.s bachelor party attendees
spend on average of 738 dollars for the
festivities while bachelorette party
attendees spend about 472 dollars
the actual ceremony is quite different
too
oh
in england the wedding party is usually
small
the bride walks down the aisle before
her bridesmaids the groom keeps his back
towards the bride as she walks down the
aisle
in here the groom faces the bride for
the entire procession but i think the
british tradition is better
that’s the tradition we love most
the groom faces away from the bride
until she reaches him
and everyone gets to experience their
first look
how about the bridesmaids and groomsmen
in the uk
instead of a maid of honor a bride
selects a chief bridesmaid
british bridesmaids sit during the
ceremony
while most american bridesmaids stand
beside the bride throughout the service
do the groomsmen give funny toasts like
in the u.s
british wedding toasts are more like
roasts
but they’re still polite and the jokes
are pretty simple
the speeches also don’t take up much
time
in america it’s customary for the best
man in the maid of honor to make a short
speech
and maybe even one of the parents
that’s not something you’ll see in
british weddings
only men tend to make the speeches and
the main objective is to embarrass the
couple
have you been to many weddings in your
country
actually this is the first wedding i’ve
attended
i heard that if you’re british the first
wedding you attend might be your own
that’s right
the british have a strict rule
no ring no bring
if a couple is not married the guest’s
significant other is not invited to the
ceremony or reception following
how about close friends and family
members that are unmarried
there’s a separate reception later at
night for those close friends and family
unmarried guests are invited to bring
their significant others to this
reception
this person has to truly be a
significant other oftentimes engaged to
be invited
in america we are given an open
invitation for a plus one
is this reception similar to the
reception in the u.s
dinner is served with dancing to follow
there is also a bar at the evening
reception
not at the morning reception
lastly the couple often gives their own
toasts to each other and their guests at
the evening reception
the evening reception is more intimate
right
yes but there’s one key difference
if you brought a gift you’ll feel out of
place
really
yes
gifts are always mailed directly to the
couple and never brought to the ceremony
or reception
that’s a good idea
a big gaudy array of wrapped presents
doesn’t exactly make the party any
better
i know
when i get married i will invite you so
you can attend an actual british wedding
thanks i’m looking forward to it
we’ve broken up
there are many reasons why people decide
to end up in a relationship
let’s see this video and see the
situation between emma and dee
[Music]
hey lily how do you do
hi emma i’m all right long time no see
is everything okay
yes it’s good i am planning to open my
own store quite busy i don’t think that
i have too many things to prepare like
this
it’s just a small store
where is it located if it’s close to my
house i will come to help you sometimes
it’s in the t3 building 10 minutes away
from my house
ah it’s the pink building isn’t it
yes come anytime you want i seem always
to be there day and night
you should take a break
if not you may be stressed out
yes i know so i will go to the beach
next weekend do you want to join me
which one
fourth corner beach in cornwall it’s
small but we can walk along soft white
sand by the turquoise sea there is the
legendary meenak theater nearby isn’t it
yes that’s right will you go with me
but come on
i know you will go with dave as well i
haven’t had a boyfriend to invite and i
don’t want to be at the third wheel
no dave doesn’t come actually i broke up
with him one month ago
hey are you kidding me
even you always look so happy
no it’s not a joke we’ve broken up we
cannot get along with each other anymore
really
dave is a good one though
not at all lily if you know what he did
with me you will change your mind
well it sounds serious what did he do
did you watch his the first cover song
the first one was in the last year
you mean to the moon oh this video is so
visual i remember that time teenagers
got crazy with it
yes it reached 3 million views and he
became famous
i think it’s so-so he isn’t even a star
but he started acting like an a-list
celeb
but it’s just what he showed on social
media as long as he still loves you and
takes care of you
yeah if it’s just on social media you
know he began ignoring all his friends
he always lived in his virtual world
i don’t think he’s that kind of person
even he stopped taking care of me he was
always busy he considers himself the
center of the universe
calm down emma did you try to talk with
him to solve it
yes definitely
but nothing changed he didn’t realize
what he was doing
i also found out that he had flirted
with many girls on the internet we
argued too much about this issue
and there was one day
dave did you feed plum
yes absolutely you should bring him to
the spa tomorrow to cut his hair
okay are we going together
um
no i have to complete my new video and
upload it it needs to be released at 7
30 pm so that it gets more interactions
why do you always concentrate on social
media every day like this
you need to take time for me and your
friends in your real life as well
emma you’re not a baby anymore you know
how to take care of yourself don’t you i
have my own business to be done why
don’t you stand by me you just judge me
every time
it hurts me so bad dave
i don’t want to talk with you right now
but you can ask your friends how you
changed
the stranger’s opinions are not
important i don’t care
okay
it’s up to you
i’m so tired
turn off the lamp when you go to bed
what is that noise
yes thanks for loving my video
i made it for my fans
especially you
sure i will live stream tomorrow don’t
forget to send me a heart
what you want to meet me babe
sure i’m free next week let me know
what are you doing dave who are you
talking with
yes bye-bye i will text you later
dave
why do you wake up at this time you
should be back to sleep
i’m asking you why don’t you answer me
a fan girl that’s all
why are you talking so loud
fangirl do you need to talk privately
with a fan girl in the middle of the
night
come on
why do you so serious
i’m a hot youtuber i need to keep my
interactions with my fans and shut up
you don’t think what you are saying is
so stupid and unreasonable do you think
i’m a fool
i’m too tired of this relationship
you’re jealous all the time whenever i
talk with a girl you begin getting mad
what are you saying
so how do you want me to react to it
when you flirt with a girl in front of
my face
should i say congrats to the two of you
i can’t stand you anymore you make me
look like a dump
i think we should break up
what are you saying you were breaking up
with me have you thought carefully
yes i’m so tired of you
i’ve nothing to say to you anymore when
we calm down we will talk about it
don’t waste time anymore
then i got back to my room and cried all
night
oh my he’s a jerk you should have broken
up with him immediately when you knew he
flirted with other girls
stupid me you know i cried a lot at that
time
now when i look back i cannot understand
what i was thinking at that time
why did i cry for bad guy like dave
if i was you i would slap at his face
a jerk
i moved out of his house the day after
now i am living with my sister
do you feel better now
absolutely
at first i felt depressed but then
gradually i felt better thinking clearly
i no longer need to obsess about daily
monitoring to keep my boyfriend
love should be based on trust if i
continue loving him i will not have
happiness
bravo you are a star
i’m glad that you can think positively
this trip is to relax and refresh will
you go with me

impressive plan for it

okay i’ll text them later
where exactly is that apple farm
it’s in syracuse
what you said it’s nearby that’s not
nearby
oh it’s not that far away from here i
just did an online search
it only takes a bit more than three
hours to go from pookkeepsie to sierra
cruise if we go by train
well that’s still quite some time
come on
we have nothing to do on the weekend
anyway
besides think about all the amazing
things we can do there we can wander
around relax and pick plenty of apples
to bring home
yeah you’re right i guess the long trip
will be worth it
yeah it’ll be fun also we can make so
many things with the apples we pick
uh-huh apple juice apple pie applesauce
exactly
do you know how much the tickets will be
i suppose we’ll need tickets to get into
the apple farm
no my cousin said we don’t need to buy
tickets anyone can visit the apple farm
after calling the farm’s owners
we only need to pay money if we want to
bring the apples back home
ah i see that’s great
let me talk to the guys and buy the
train tickets then
okay cool
[Music]
dialogue 2
halloween costume
[Music]
this saturday is halloween have you guys
had any ideas for your costumes yet
yep i’ll be a brown rabbit my cousin
helped me find the perfect costume
ooh nice
i’ll show you guys the costume soon it’s
really cute
what about you luke what character will
you be
i’m gonna be a mummy
cool choice
yeah i’ll just need to use toilet paper
for my costume
don’t you think toilet paper is a little
bit too thin though
it’ll be hard to keep it still on your
body and it may even dissolve and break
up if you happen to get wet
you’re right why didn’t i think of that
ah i know we can use old white sheets
just rip them into long strips and wrap
them around you
great idea i’ll ask my mom to help me
with that what will you be haley
i’m gonna be an evil witch
cool
i thought you were a witch last year’s
halloween
yeah i’m the witch every year because it
is always my favorite halloween costume
i see
i need to think of something to make my
costume a bit different from last year
though do you guys have any suggestions
for me
how about making a diy costume this time
what does diy mean
it means do it yourself
instead of renting a costume from the
store
you can be as creative as you want and
it will save you lots of
money hmm interesting that doesn’t sound
too bad i already have a black dress at
home
yeah you still have plenty of time left
you just need to buy a hat and a cape
you can design them however you want
yeah and i think i can also make my own
magic wand and broom
sounds great
thank you for all these awesome ideas
i’ll start preparing for my costume
right away let’s meet again on halloween
night okey dokey see you guys
bye guys
[Music]
dialogue 3
sightseeing in the fall
[Music]
hi julianne
hi melissa
hey julianne what are you doing this
weekend i don’t think i have any plans
what’s up
i’m thinking about going to boston to do
some sightseeing would you like to join
me
yes of course the weather is so
beautiful now it’ll be a shame if we
stay at home all weekend
how about we go there should we buy bus
tickets
don’t worry i managed to borrow my
cousin’s car let’s drive there
boston is only two hours from here and
we can also enjoy the sights on the way
yeah awesome i’m so excited i often hear
other people say that boston is most
beautiful in the fall
it really is i’ve been to boston in the
fall before
all the leaves on the trees would turn
yellow or red plenty of dry leaves also
fall on the ground
and there’s warm sunlight which shines
through layers of colorful leaves
it’s such a beautiful scenery that no
words can describe you’ve got to see it
for yourself
wow that sounds wonderful i’ve thought
of plenty of things we can do
we can have a picnic in the park
visit the famous harvard
university and take a walk on the street
to enjoy the beautiful weather and
scenery
yeah sounds nice
i also want to try boston signature
dishes like lobster rolls and clam
chowder
they are classics i know a very good
restaurant in boston i’ll take you there
awesome thanks melissa
[Music]
dialogue for chestnut roasting and
pumpkin carving
[Music]
hi meg hey joe come on in what are you
carrying
those bags look heavy let me help you
carry them inside
thanks these are chestnuts
chestnuts wow i can’t believe they are
selling chestnuts already
autumn is really here
i know right halloween is this weekend
and it’s gonna be thanksgiving soon
anyway i saw some raw chestnuts when
going grocery shopping at the local
farmers market yesterday they looked so
good that i couldn’t help it
i bought some so that we will have
something to eat while carving pumpkins
today
great idea
roasted chestnuts are one of my favorite
street food in the cold season
but i always have been buying roasted
chestnuts from street vendors
i actually have never tried roasting
them at home before
don’t worry roasting chestnuts at home
are not hard at all i’ll show you how to
do that
cool let’s get to the kitchen
so what do we do
first we need to go through all the raw
chestnuts we bought and pick out the
best ones
how do we know which ones are not good
look at their shells the good ones will
have hard and shiny shells
they shouldn’t be too light and rattle
when you shake them
ah okay let me see
most of the chestnuts seem fine and not
spoiled
yeah i like to shop at the farmer’s
market because most of the food there is
fresh
right i agree
oh i just found three chestnuts that are
cracked it’s best if we throw them away
okay what’s next
we need to wash them properly and dry
them off because we’ll touch the shells
when eating
all right done next we’ll make an
x-shaped cut on the shelf this step is
really important because it will prevent
the chestnuts from exploding when being
roasted
ah that’s why
then we’ll put them in the oven right
yeah it’ll take 10 to 20 minutes we’ll
wait till shells burst open and the
chestnuts look golden brown
i see thanks for teaching me how to make
roasted chestnuts i could do it at home
now
no problem
well we wait for the chestnuts let’s
switch to carving the pumpkins
here are the pumpkins we picked out on
thursday let me find two sharp knives
okay let’s start by cutting out the top
part
do you need a spoon i often remove some
of the flesh so it’s easier to carve
good idea
can i also borrow a marker and want to
draw the face before i start carving
here you are be careful when carving
hey will thanks
[Music]
you’re done already so fast
yep i’m done how does it look
it looks amazing you are really an
expert
thanks i’m used to carving pumpkins
since i do this every year
hey i think our chestnuts are done
roasting they smell so good
yay let’s get them out and eat them
while they’re still hot
winter activities
dialogue one
chloe and mia are high school friends

dialogue 2
kyle and david are neighbors
a new ice rink just opened near kyle and
david’s neighborhood
kyle is asking david if he wanted to
visit the place with him
hey david the sun is finally out
do you want to go ice skating with me
a new ice rink just opened near here
i can’t i lost my skates last winter
when i was on holiday
oh that’s unfortunate is there anything
else you want to do
it has not been this sunny in a while we
should not waste such a beautiful day
you were right what about snowboarding
my dad gave me a snowboard for christmas
i’m not that good at snowboarding but i
will try if you help me
of course let’s go get our snowboards
then we can head out
dialogue three
it’s the first snow day this winter
tammy is excited about playing in the
snow while leo is not
look it’s finally snowing
i can’t wait to go outside to build a
snowman or have a snowball fight
do you want to join me leo it’s going to
be a lot of fun
you go ahead tammy i don’t really like
snow that much
oh
why not
it’s just really cold and slippery
i fell and injured my knee the last time
i walked in the snow
i’m still a bit scared
i’m sorry that must have been painful
you know you can buy special shoes for
walking in the snow they make it less
slippery and safer for you
really i’ve never heard of them i will
have to check them out thank you so much
no problem do you want to go grab a cup
of coffee instead we can take the car
don’t we have to remove snow from the
driveway and defrost the car first
i already did that
what if the road is busy the snow is
pretty heavy today
oh come on it’s only 7 a.m i don’t think
many people are up yet
stop being lazy let’s go
okay
[Music]
dialogue four
even though miley and megan are siblings
they have different opinions about cold
weather
oh no
it’s snowing again
i was hoping it would be sunny today
don’t you like snow miley it’s really
pretty to me
yes it’s beautiful but it’s so cold that
we can’t do much
i guess but i enjoy staying inside
having a cup of hot chocolate and
reading an interesting book the cold
weather makes it cozier
that’s not my cup of tea
i’d rather go outside and be active
i miss when it was sunny i could stay
outside all day and play all kinds of
sports
you know we can still play sports in the
winter right
like ice skating playing hockey or
snowboarding
you’re right but i don’t have the
equipment needed for those sports
then let’s just go outside and make some
snow angels or have a snowball fight
that actually sounds like fun
let’s go megan
[Music]
dialogue five
lucy explains to nina her daughter what
animals do to survive cold weather
do you know winter is the coldest season
of the year nina
yes mom
i can’t stay outside for too long or
else i’ll get sick
that’s right
but what do you think animals do
they don’t have houses like us do they
they don’t
how do they deal with the cold mom
some animals go into hibernation which
saves them energy
does that mean they sleep the entire day
mom
something like that dear
that’s sad there is so much to do in the
winter we can have snowball fights build
snowmen go ice skating snowboarding
or sledding for children like me
by the way can i go sledding mom
sure but remember to wear warm clothes
dear

working part-time jobs
daniel is hiring some employees to work
a part-time job
mike is one of the applicants
hello mike take a seat
thank you sir
can i see your resume please
i have received the online version of
your cv but i just wanted to be sure
here you go sir
everything you require is in that
document case
you got quite an interesting history for
a student of your age mike
there seems like nothing is out of the
ordinary
just relax kid this is just for a
part-time job
usually these so-called interviews
aren’t as strict as the more long-termed
ones
but nevertheless i want you to know if
you are right for the job
so tell me mike what brings you here
well sir
i wanted to apply for a part-time job to
get used to the roughness of society
so through hours of applying i’m here
and do you expect to be paid handsomely
no i don’t sir
the experience of working is enough to
keep me going
i’m sorry if this is offensive but no
undergraduates apply for a part-time job
without having money as a goal in their
mind
i understand sir and i am sorry
please just call me dan or mr dan and no
need to be sorry
so how has your university life been
mike
it has been great actually
i’m a freshman of international business
major
i’ve managed to become an official
member of one of my school’s clubs
being socially open aren’t ya
it’s nice to see one fit in easily with
his surroundings
so i assume that you are communicating
skill is at a decent level
i wouldn’t really consider my talking
skills anywhere near charming but still
natural nevertheless
cool that’s all i expected mike
now how about your
other skills such as multitasking or
concentration
i’m not very good at multitasking but i
can put my mind into a single thing for
a long period of time
that is very beneficial in the future
for you
what about your time management ability
i know that freshman year at university
can be overwhelming
but
can you be self-organized enough to make
sure the deadline is met
i can prioritize particular tasks based
on their importance so i am confident as
i can mr dan
your attitude is straightforward and
honest isn’t it mike
but anyway before we end this short
interview i would like to advise you
something
leave out some time for you to rest and
balance between studying socializing and
working okay
thank you for the advice mr dan
i appreciate the advice
well then here is your resume
have a good day sir
goodbye mike
remember to close the door behind you
dave is working a part-time job
at a grocery store
jordan accidentally met him and sticks
around to talk
i will have these
oh hey jordan long time no see
dave
oh wow
i didn’t expect to see an old homie
around
yeah it has been ages since we last met
from high school isn’t it
since we graduated
oh wait let me check these out for you
first
it’s 14.65 here are your groceries
mind if i stick around for a bit
no problem bro
it’s not every day that i bump into an
old mate
and i’m not very busy at this time of
day
so how long have you been working here
for about a month and a half or so
it’s pretty uneventful working here so
this job is fine
but this is only a part-time job though
i haven’t graduated yet
well it’s only two years since we left
high school
only started university a year ago for
multiple reasons
really which university do you attend
it would sound a bit odd but have you
heard about the university of people
it’s kind of familiar but i can’t really
pinpoint what it is
i swear i have heard about it somewhere
it’s a free university where people
around the world can attend for free as
long as they have an internet connection
and a full commitment
oh i remember that university is very
well known for its good deeds and
dedication
yes
i’m really glad and excited when i got
recommended by a relative
my life is really turned up from there
because i’m flexible in my study i still
have time to work some part-time jobs to
feed myself and help out my parents
this is only my night time job
my daytime job offers wage but it’s
equally more stressful
what do you do here anyway
i never get an insight about this sort
of work
well as the cashier my main job is to
scan these groceries and collect the
money
but behind the counter there are a lot
of other minor things to do
such as when the manager isn’t here i’m
tasked with recording and writing down
any cargo delivery and report it to him
keep these shelves stocked and deal with
any product shortages
apart from the regular works i have to
deal with every emergency around
sometimes that fridge over there breaks
down or the front door is jammed etc
usually there would be a guy working the
same shifts as me
but today he is coming late
he told me that he would arrive an hour
late which means
he will be here in 10 minutes
so i’m the only one keeping you company
yeah pretty much
i appreciate this it could get extremely
boring around here
anytime man anytime
so how much do you guys earn from
working here
typically eight dollars an hour every
day
there are no extras in rush hours or
holidays
this place would close during holidays
or maintenance days
but there are great pulses at this place
i get to be paid every weekend so i can
keep up with any surprise bills
that’s great for you man
i hardly know anywhere else with such
good policies
but anyway
it’s a dead end job nevertheless
what about the other jobs you have
well i also work around the logistics
center next to the supermarket
i’m only the apprentice at the place
following the manager where he does his
daily routine
i’ve learned a lot of things there
already the boss there took great care
of me
things seem to be looking up for you huh
would there be any chance it would lead
to a full-time job
most likely yes i saw a lot of potential
for growth at the place
on the online university i talked about
there is a logistics course really
suited for my needs
in only one year i’ve got most of the
basic knowledge of how to run a
logistics business and manage
working at this place also gives me
hands-on experience and logistics
that’s why i stayed at this place
working at a seemingly minimum wage
wow you got such an admirable spirit for
studying and working
i’m really impressed with how everything
has turned up for you
opportunities come from education
i’m happy for you man seeing an old dude
thriving
thanks man you’re a nice guy
well
it’s about time for me to go
keep up the good work okay my dude
i will man i will
goodbye dude
[Music]
cooking
sophie and anna are going to make cakes
on their own to celebrate their parents
25-year wedding anniversary
watch the video about the conversation
between bakery teacher john and two
girls about making cakes
sister
our parents 25 year wedding anniversary
is coming soon
do you have any bright ideas to
celebrate the anniversary anna
not yet
i just think that we will buy cake in
the gift for them
what do you think
i want something surprising for them
because it’s their silver anniversary
i agree with you but i didn’t come up
with any ideas
anna an idea springs to mind
make a cake by ourselves
is that fine
that’s good but we don’t know how to
make a cake
uh search google everything is on it
did you forget that last time you over
baked chiffon cake over time so it was
burned
come on why do you always sound like a
broken record
i was a little bit careless at the time
i have another great option do you want
to hear it
of course
we will take part in a baking class
how do you feel
why do you think of such bright ideas
like that i couldn’t agree more
when
right now is that fine
it’s up to you i’m free
so let’s go right now
[Music]
hi welcome to mr john’s baking class may
i help you
we need to join a baking class this
afternoon where can i apply for the
class
this way please
do you register for a long-term course
or one-day class
does your center have a one-on-one class
because we intend to make a cake for my
parents wedding anniversary
certainly we have that here is the place
you can register
after completing the procedure you can
participate right now
thank you so much
you’re welcome
good afternoon to girls
so now i’ll introduce myself first my
name is john beckham
you can call me teacher john during the
class
hello teacher john i’m sophie
this is my younger sister anna
hi teacher john
it’s great to study making cake with you
it’s my pleasure
so let’s get started with cupcakes
they are often called in special events
like a grand opening party anniversary
and so on
yes i really like it
so excited to make it
so now let’s guess which ingredients you
need anna and sophie
for sure
we must have flour eggs and vanilla or
chocolate which depends on the taste of
cupcakes
what about sophie’s idea
well
actually i just know only three
ingredients above
that’s fine
what kind of flour do we use girls do
you know i don’t
neither do i
we have to use self-raising flour
because you will see that your cakes
always rise perfectly
and more importantly that you get a
consistent rise every time
what ingredients else sophie
i don’t know
both of you forgot the most important
things which are milk and butter
oh
exactly
it completely slipped my mind
okay so now i’ll list all ingredients we
need to make this cake
first of all as you mentioned they are
eggs self-raising flour and vanilla
extract
we also need milk softened butter icing
sugar and golden castor sugar
teacher john why don’t you use refined
sugar instead of icing one
simply icing sugar dissolves quickly in
cold water
sometimes people keep it on hand just to
add to juices milkshakes and other cold
beverages
so what is the quantity of all the
elements teacher john
i’ll tell you now
110 grams softened butter 110 grams
golden caster sugar 2 large eggs a half
teaspoon vanilla extract and 110 grams
self-raising flour that’s all for the
crust
and these are ingredients for
buttercream
150 grams softened butter
300 grams icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla
extract 3 tablespoons of milk
you can add food coloring if you want
but today i’m just going to teach you
the traditional cupcake with buttercream
on it
yes i saw those elements on my table and
we have to determine them
absolutely are you ready
[Music]
yes
we are ready to make cakes
so let’s set to work
teacher john do we have to heat the oven
first right
that’s right at 180 degrees celsius
and then you fill a 12 cupcake tray with
cases
i’m done teacher
okay
next use an electric whisk be 110 gram
softened butter and 110 grams golden
caster sugar together until pale and
fluffy
and then whisk in two large eggs one at
a time scraping down the sides of the
bowl after each addition
softened butter teacher i forgot how to
take it out of the refrigerator
so did i
is it possible to use cold butter
teacher john
no we cannot
we must use softened butter for this
type of cake
why
because such butter is capable of
holding air and the creaming process is
then
butter traps that air
while baking that trapped air expands
from the heat and produces a fluffy
baked good
wow i can gain one more new knowledge
about making cakes
teacher drawn does it have the
difference between room temperature and
softened butter
actually no it depends on your room’s
degree
they can be interchangeable
but in the recipe we use softened butter
right
certainly
what do we do next teacher
after that add half a teaspoon vanilla
extract 110 grams self-raising flour
and a pinch of salt whisk until just
combined then spoon the mixture into the
cupcake cases
teacher john at this stage can i replace
hot chocolate instead of vanilla
of course as i mentioned above vanilla
or chocolate depends on your taste
even if you want the strawberry taste
you can add it
oh thanks teacher
[Music]
[Music]
sophie you still want to keep the
vanilla taste
that’s right i prefer vanilla to
chocolate
okay it’s time to bake
oh my gosh i’m really excited about this
step
i like seeing cupcakes hatching during
the baking process
yes most bakeries like this step
okay so bake for 15 minutes until golden
brown and a skewer inserted into the
middle of each cake comes out clean
leave to cool completely on a wire rack
exactly 15 minutes teacher john
right if cupcakes are over baked they’ll
be burnt therefore we should set an
alarm
i got
while we’re waiting for baking we are
making buttercream
firstly whisk 150 grams softened butter
until super soft then add 300 grams
icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
and a pinch of salt
the next step is whisking together until
smooth then beat in three tablespoons of
milk
sophie and anna we should start off
slowly to avoid the icing sugar cloud
remember that
i got it
almost i whisk a mess away
jumping the gun alright
we’re almost finished
the final step 15 minutes is over so
let’s take those cupcakes out of the
oven
if wanting to color stir the food
coloring now spoon or pipe onto the
cooled cupcakes
fancy that their colors are so beautiful
so is mine
and now we will make second cakes guess
what
red velvet cake or biscuits
no we don’t make biscuits
anna because we did a little creamy cake
what you said is a clue for me to guess
what next we will make
so what
celebration cake is that right teacher
john
totally correct
so which taste of celebration cake do
you like
many tastes to choose from teacher john
which taste do you suggest for the
wedding anniversary
i suggest honey and almond layer cake
simple elegant wedding cake or chocolate
cake
sophie doesn’t like chocolate so i
inclined towards honey and almond layer
cake what about you sophie
same idea as anna teacher john
well we decide to make almond and honey
layer cake then
yes
let’s cut to the chase i will list all
ingredients that we need
280 grams unsalted butter softened
225 grams
light muscovado
140 grams clear honey plus two
tablespoons
three medium eggs plus four medium egg
yolks
280 grams plain flour
100 grams ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon
vanilla extract 125 milliliters of milk
oh really so many that’s all the
ingredients we need teacher john
lots of ingredients
that’s just for the crust
and these are for the swiss meringue
buttercream
300 grams unsalted butter softened 4
medium egg whites 250 grams golden
caster sugar 2 tablespoons of clear
honey
candied almond is available so we don’t
have to make it
its stage takes a lot of time
we are all ready teacher john
the first step is also the longest step
we heat the oven at 180 degrees celsius
first
now let’s make the honey and almond
sponges
grease cake tin and line the bases with
baking parchment
you can use an electric hand mixer to
beat the butter muscovado sugar and 140
grams honey until pale and fluffy
teacher john i know the next step
what do you do next
add the eggs and yolks one at a time
beating after each addition until well
incorporated
that’s correct well done
after that whisk together the flour
almonds baking powder and a quarter
teaspoon of salt
add half of the flour mixture to the
butter mixture and beat until just
combined
add the vanilla and milk continuing to
beat then add the remaining flour
mixture beating until just combined
i want to cry celebrating cake has many
steps
fight
we have almost done the first step
next divide the mixture evenly between
the tins and bake for 45 to 55 minutes
or until a skewer inserted into the
center of each cake comes out clean
allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes
in their tins then turn out onto a wire
rack to cool completely
leave the oven on for the candied
almonds
notice the time my students
when do we move to the next step teacher
making cakes requires patience and
meticulous characteristics
i’m not this kind of person
neither am i
even so we just made cupcakes not
celebration cakes
no in spite of being tired i still want
to make a celebration cake by myself
i do too
come on girls you can do it
the second step is making honey syrup
put two tablespoons honey and two
tablespoons water in a small saucepan
and heat for one to two minutes or until
the honey has dissolved
then set it aside
done
then make the swiss meringue butter
cream
using an electric hand mixer beat the
butter until pale and fluffy
put the egg whites and sugar in a clean
heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering
water
heat the mixture until the sugar has
dissolved
remove the bowl from the heat and using
an electric hand mixer whisk for 10
minutes or until the mixture forms stiff
peaks and has cold to room temperature
next add the butter one to two
tablespoons at a time
and beat until the mixture is smooth and
creamy
beat in the honey and transfer to a
piping bag filling with a one centimeter
nozzle
when do we finish teacher john
making this cake takes much more time
than i thought
almost done girls don’t give up only one
more step
oh my god eventually i almost finished
this cake
next assembling the cake step is also
simple for you
level the sponges by cutting off the
domed tops and split each sponge in half
to create four layers
fix the bottom layer to a cake board or
stand with a splotch of buttercream
brush with the honey syrup and pipe a
layer of buttercream on top
gently press the second layer on top and
repeat with the remaining layers
cover the cake with a thin layer of
buttercream then use a palette knife to
scrape the sides clean
pipe a ring of buttercream blobs around
the top or spread a thick layer with a
palette knife
decorate with candied almonds
we
finish how pretty the cake is
you helped us make two kinds of cake i’m
so thankful for you teaching us teacher
john
thanks a million teacher
it’s my pleasure and give my love to
your parents and tell them happy silver
wedding anniversary
thank you so much teacher john
thanks teacher i’m going home bye bye
goodbye see you soon bye girls see you

yesterday i am also your trainer and
help you practice effectively

this schedule is okay
i’m not busy on any day there

how to have a beautiful body
[Music]
do you want to drink water
yes please thank you
my name is tom nice to meet you i’m john
you must practice in the gym for a long
time
your body is great john
i don’t know how i got a body like you
you are right tom i’ve done exercise in
this gym for three years
i believe that you will have a good body
soon if you go to the gym regularly
could you tell me some tips for
gym people please
i just started practicing for a
week of course tom to get a fit body
soon you should follow a schedule from
the coach
i mean it may be fairly hard at first
but don’t give up try your best and
overcome it
please practice regularly as i mentioned
it’s the main reason for practicing
successfully
what about my diet what should i eat
eat more vegetables chicken breasts and
also drink more water
they will provide enough nutrition for
you
you should also reduce to pork and fast
food
don’t drink coke or beer
they are so bad for your health and your

machine over there i’ll show you my own
trick

situation four
benefits of doing exercise
[Music]
anna you don’t look well recently are
you sick oh kelly i often feel tired
without doing anything
besides i can’t sleep on time it makes
me feel more sad and boring
you should go to the doctor i think they
will help you get well soon
i met a doctor last week he gives me
some medicine but i don’t think they
affect me
i think it may not be an illness i used
to be like you but i have no longer got
sick for a long time
it may be because you do not act on your
body regularly
you spend almost all day at work and do
not do the exercise at home
you are right kelly i used to go to the
gym before but now i don’t have enough
time
you should go to the gym as before
i practice in there regularly and i feel
stronger every day
my body is fit
going to the gym is an effective way to
improve your health
really kelly
that sounds great
okay i’ll arrange my time to go to the
gym by the way where is the gym you are
practicing in
the red gym it’s near your house
good let’s go there this afternoon i
can’t wait anymore
okay anna i’ll go with you

resources
on top of all that applying for a
library card is free of charge

returning damaged books

good morning
hello miss may i help you today
i’m here to return the books i borrowed

scratch on the cover of one of the books
i’m really sorry
ah okay can i see the book
i borrowed three books and this is the
one that got a scratch

you a fine according to the library’s
policies

then
the processing fee is five dollars
and the fine for damaged covers is five
dollars so you’ll need to pay ten
dollars in total

paste to a pill headache paste is more
convenient for you
is that effective as pills
of course they are the same function
they also have similar headache
treatment ingredients
they are different only in the form of
use patches and pills
sounds good but does it work when i use
it with two other drugs

with the doctor’s prescription if you
ask your doctor about this he will agree
with me too i guarantee
okay take it for me and can you tell me
how i should use it
yes very easy you don’t have to pay
attention to use it on time whenever you
have a headache cut and stick a small

situation three drugs for cough and
runny nose
[Music]
hey mary what’s wrong you look tired are
you under the weather
hi jack i feel sick i think i have a
cold
what are your symptoms
cough and runny nose yesterday i just
woke up and i had a frog in my throat
that’s awful you should buy drugs to end
this immediately
yes you’re right
hi how can i help you
yes i think i have a cold i’ve been
suffering a cough and runny nose for two
days
have you had a fever
actually no my temperature is stable do
you think i caught a cold due to the
change in weather
i think so a lot of people also came to
buy medicine today because of a cold
yes weather like this makes people so
tired
okay i see you should use cough syrup
you will need to drink this three times
a day within one hour before or after
the meal
for three to four days your cough will
be treated
great how about the runny nose
yes i suggest you should use flu
medicine it relieves symptoms including
cough and runny nose
good but is there anything i need to
notice about when taking these drugs
yes you need to carefully check the
drugs content to know if it contains any
chemical substance that’s you’re
allergic to
okay anything else
well you also need to remember to take
drugs regularly or else its function
will not be as effective as it should be
twice a day after lunch and dinner
does it have any side effects
i think it can make you a bit sleepy
okay no problem
if you have a fever come back to me and
take fever tablets
okay i’ll remember thanks
you’re welcome
[Music]
situation four
drugs for diarrhea and vomiting
hi
pharmacist you look so tired what is the
matter
well i have been suffering from diarrhea
and vomiting about three hours ago
i feel so exhausted because of this i
just walked some steps and was ready to
drop
have you eaten anything strange before
yes i ate some chocolate in the morning
okay i see these symptoms seem to be
very serious you may have food poisoning
or some digestive problems
that’s bad so what should i do to end
this
based on your symptoms i will write a
prescription for you
you need to take these anti-diarrhea
drugs twice a day before lunch and
dinner it will cure diarrhea and you
will feel better also you need to stick
with soft food such as porridge noodles
cereal and especially drinking water for
rehydration
okay i’ll remember
but how do i deal with the vomiting
in order to cure the vomiting you will
need to eat the food as i mentioned
before and also stay away from fried or
sweets because they can make your
symptoms worse
does it have any side effects on my
stomach i have a stomach ache
don’t worry about that it is safe for
use
okay i see
and you should pay more attention to
your eating habits you should not eat
strange foods because they may not be
suitable for your body you may be
poisoned
of course thanks for your useful advice

check the temperature on your phone what
degree is it
unbelievable
102 degrees fahrenheit
what
so hot
i can eat 10 ice creams right now
ice cream saves my life
let’s check the wikihow for keeping cool
when in the hot weather
good idea what does wiki house say
water is essential for keeping you cool
during hot weather
water keeps your body cool and should be
drunk even if you don’t feel thirsty
make sense
next is
choose cooling foods
what are cooling foods
salads fresh raw food vegetables and
fruit
frozen fruit frozen yogurt and other
frozen treats to help you cool down
and ice cream
wear loose lightweight light colored
clothing and sunscreen try to keep out
of the sun between 11 a.m to 3 p.m avoid
exercising in the hottest parts of the
day
it’s useful huh
take cool showers or baths to cool down
yes it’s right i want to take a shower
right now
[Music]
let’s buy one more ice cream then go
swimming together to keep cool when the
weather is hot like this let’s go
swimming
i agree 100
[Music]
situation three
thin and fat
anna represents the thin team and
william represents the fat team
so anna why is it good to be thin
in my opinion thin prevents certain
diseases so it is good for your health
it is good to be thin because you can
buy any clothes and you can wear your
clothes without any problems you have no
difficulty exercising
you can eat everything and do not gain
weight
like chocolate chocolate is so delicious
but when you get fat you love chocolate
and eat it you’ll get fatter and thin is
more attractive
do you want to oppose william
yes teacher i think thin people usually
have less strength than fat people
people with very low weight usually
suffer anemia fainting malnutrition etc
sometimes it is difficult for thin
people to choose clothes too it does not
equal healthy
personally i think fat people are also
very cute and charming in their own way
do you want to oppose anna
maybe you’re right but do you know that
many fat people struggle to breathe
heart disease is common
sometimes tying shoes is a challenge
when fat people bend down
fat people struggle to find clothing
that look good on them
sometimes they can’t wear the clothes
they like
i’m a girl so i understand when i won’t
be able to wear what i like it’s really
sad
but if we talk about clothes
it’s like judging a person by their
appearance
it isn’t fair how you treat people is
more important than how you look
no matter how fat you are wear what you
like
whether
it’s vintage hipster girl punk gal or
bright colors it is just fine find a
doctor who respects you and get regular
checkups
i want to say this for anyone who gets
fat
if you spend your life afraid of what
others think in your fat it is a life
half lived don’t reject yourself embrace
yourself with a daily hug a smile in the
mirror every time you see yourself
love yourself first
because when you love yourself you will
know that you should lose weight or not
what is good for your health
you speak very well william
thank you you speak well to anna
thanks anna and william both are awesome
whether fat or thin we should keep a
balanced weight to protect our health we
should exercise for a healthy body it’s
not good to be too thin or too fat
as william said how you treat people is
more important than how you look
so if you are thin or fat it’s not
important
love yourself and respect yourself first
but remember to exercise regularly
[Music]

[Music]
talk to your friends about work
situation one
beth meets her high school friend
lily after five years
and they talk about their current work
hey lily over here
oh hi beth long time no see how have you
been
it’s nice to see you again lily i’m
doing fine how about you
do you work or study
i’m okay i graduated last year and i’m
now in full-time employment and you
i didn’t go to college i went straight
to cooking classes and finding jobs
and now i’m working as a chef at
restaurant downtown what is your job
i’m currently an english teacher working
for boston high school in new york
oh that’s great
why did you choose that job
i was previously a lawyer and found it
to be stressful and never had any free
time
so after quitting that job i thought
teaching might be not as stressful and
more time off
was teaching your passion
yes since i was a child but my family
directed me to study law
and now that i’m older i found out what
i really wanted i remember cooking is
also your passion right
yes but lucky for me my family supports
my dream in my career do you enjoy your
job
most of the time it’s very rewarding to
be able to help people every day and the
students here are very hardworking and
fun to teach
working at a restaurant is exhausting
but people are so nice to me do you get
on well with your co-workers
yes fine i don’t really see work as a
part of my social life so i don’t
socialize with them i think it’s more
professional to be that way
what was your first day like
there were lots of teachers starting at
the same time as me
so we all had a big induction day
the senior teachers ran workshops with
us
to familiarize us with the systems they
had and then we went for a work team
dinner in the evening
my first day at work was like any other
day at the restaurant i started working
right away and i have a supervisor to
help me with the work
it was scary at first what
responsibilities do you have at work
all of the teachers main responsibility
is to plan good lessons and then teach
them
on top of that we have several admin
tasks like mark homework fill out
attendance sheets and write report
i’m on the dessert part of the kitchen
staff team so i have to prepare fruits
baking cakes all day
but i love my job
would you change your job in the future
yes i like working by myself so i would
like to be my own boss
i want to open my restaurant
what is your typical day like at work
i start the day by doing all the
planning at home before going to work
around three to print off my materials
and then i teach all evening
what would you change about your job
i would like to have more freedom to
teach outside the syllabus
i get it at the restaurant they want me
to follow the recipes but i want to put
my ideas into baking
what is the most important part of your
work
i think that dealing with customers will
be the most important part of my work
i learned to be polite and keep smiling
even with some of the more challenging
customers
i know i have to deal with some tough
students parents and some stubborn kids
but most of the time the kids are nice
it’s great seeing you doing what you
love i’m so happy for you
thank you me too
and good luck with your dream plan
thanks
[Music]
situation two
it’s dave’s first day to work and he
calls his friend nick to ask for advice
about the first day of work
hey nick it’s dave
hey what’s up
tomorrow is my first day of work at
global complex and i need some advice on
how to make the best first impression
your first day of work is very important
it’s foundational and sets a good start
for your job going forward
how is the first day of work often like
the first day is typically when you’ll
see your work area learn your workflow
and schedule
meet your co-workers get familiar with
different areas of your office or
building
do i have to dress up
yes dress up to make a good impression
and sure you’re meeting the company’s
dress code if everyone around you is
dressed more casually you can adjust
your clothing choices in later days
how early should i go
rush hour traffic could make your mute
take longer than a typical trip to the
same area
and showing up for your job early is
much better than being late
are there any important documents that i
should pay attention to
you need to review employment contracts
and take care of paperwork such as tax
forms your new employer’s health
insurance coverage retirement plans
vacation policy
i don’t know if i should ask many
questions
asking questions now will help you avoid
mistakes in the future
being inquisitive also shows that you
want to do well in your new position
okay and should i make friends at work
making friends will encourage your
co-workers to think of you as one of the
team a good friend could also help you
advance your career
how should i do it
smile be cheerful and introduce yourself
to as many of your new co-workers as you
can
during breaks start conversations by
asking which restaurants or coffee shops
are nearby
i can do that
and eating lunch is a great way to make
friends and find out more about the
people you’ll be working with
i will make friends with people who can
help me most
i can get useful advice about how to
succeed at my new job
that’s a good idea
learning from the right co-workers is
important you should listen to people’s
conversations carefully and watch their
behavior
okay i will do that
remember to pay attention to your body
language sit or stand up straight to
avoid signs of nervousness or boredom
such as touching your hair tapping your
foot or yawning
i will have a supervisor i’m so nervous
around the boss if your supervisor sends
you an email or tells you to come to
their office respond immediately this
demonstrates both respect and enthusiasm
okay but what if i made a mistake
most employers understand if you make a
few minor mistakes on your first day of
work remember that you’ll have a chance
to do better tomorrow
okay is that all
the last thing is saying goodbye when
you leave thank your supervisor for
hiring you
and let them know that you enjoyed the
first day
what if they feel talkative what should
i say i’m so shy
you can talk to them about your day and
how you plan to handle future projects
wish them a good night and tell them
that you look forward to seeing them
tomorrow
okay thank you for your help you make me
feel less worried
no problem text me if you need any help
thanks
