For example the class decides to do the following:

1. Switch off the lights.

2. Draws a flower on the board.

Class: “Yes, we have!”

Two students: “Have you changed places?”

Class: “Yes, we have!”

Two students: “Have you moved the bin?”

Class: “No, we haven’t.”

The game continues until the two students guess all three things that have been altered in the classroom.

Oh, it hasn’t got a garage, but that’s OK, since I haven’t got a car. I always use public transport. Hello, I’m Tom. I live in a cottage in Southern Wales. This house is more than 100 years old.

Listening 1.6: Loft living: the new architectural phenomenon Loft living is a new architectural phenomenon that is becoming popular in European, American and Asian cities. Lofts first began as industrial areas that were transformed into spacious living places in city centres. Today, most lofts are still in city centres, but you can now find them in new, modern buildings or older buildings that are renovated. There are some loft building in residential areas far from the hustle and bustle of the city, but most loft owners enjoy urban living; that’s why you can always find lofts in the heart of the city.

What makes lofts so popular? Loft owners agree that there are two special features that make them special – space and light. People who buy lofts want a spacious residence, but they usually do not want the responsibilities that come with owning a detached house, such as looking after a garden. The other feature that loft owners appreciate is light. Most lofts have very large windows that often go up to the ceiling; there aren’t any dark rooms in these residences, unless lights are switched off and it is evening! There are loft buildings all around the world, such as those in London’s Docklands, or in New York’s Soho, and they are becoming popular in cities like Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur. Loft owners, whether they live in America, Europe or Asia, are people who want space and have an appreciation for the aesthetics of the loft.

Unit 4Listening 4.1: Serious shoppingLast month Gillian and Tracy went on a shopping holiday in New York City. Fashion Today asked them this question: “Why did you go on a shopping holiday in New York City when you have the finest shops right here in London?”

The reason“You can get more clothes for your money than in London. You can also find top quality clothes that are normally very expensive for a lot less,” says Gillian. “That doesn’t mean that clothes in New York are cheap, they’re not. It’s important to know where to shop.” “I know where to shop, because I lived in the New York area for two years,” smiles Tracy.

The method“To be a good shopper it’s important to compare prices at different shops. Not all shops are the same. That’s why our first day of shopping is devoted to window shopping and looking at clothes. We only try on clothes when it is something on our shopping list. We never buy on the first day,” says Gillian. “Secondly, it is equally important to have a clear idea of what you’re looking for. Many people get distracted with items they don’t need,” comments Tracy. “Hand bags, shoes and accessories are the worst distractions. Make a list and keep to it.” “I know a woman who wanted to buy a winter coat and came back with four pairs of shoes - and no winter coat!” laughs Tracy.

The purchase Tracy and Gillian suggest the following: “When you have a clear idea of what you want, think about the following questions: 1. Is it easy to wash and to look after? Some items are dry-clean only and this

can be very expensive in the long run. 2. Is it something that combines well with your other clothes?3. And finally, is it the right price or is it too expensive?”I thanked Gillian and Tracy for the interview. With my notes from the interview still in my hands, I phoned British Airways: “Hello, I’d like to book a return ticket to New York City, please.”

Listening 4.5

Tracy: I love going to department stores. They’re larger than boutiques and they have more to choose from. It’s easier to find what you’re looking for. I also like the customer service; the sales assistants are friendlier and more helpful.

Gillian: I love going to boutiques because I enjoy looking at the new styles. Their clothes are more fashionable than ordinary clothes shops, but at the same time they are also more expensive.

Tracy: “Prices at outlets are lower than department stores, but it’s not always easy to find what you’re looking for. When you find something, it’s always cheaper than any other shop.

Listening 4.7:Little Red Riding Hood: More Modern in the 21st CenturyLittle Red Riding Hood’s grandmother was not feeling well, so little Red Riding Hood decided to do the shopping for her. ”Hmmm, I think my grandmother would like some fresh 1)bread and some 2)biscuits.” So Little Ride Riding Hood stopped at the 3)bakery and bought some 4)bread and some 5)biscuits, then she continued on her way. “I think my grandmother would like a 6)book and some 7)magazines to read.” So Little Red Riding Hood stopped at the 8)

bookshop and bought a 9)book and some 10)magazines. Little Red Riding Hood continued on her way and she saw a 11)greengrocer’s. “Just look at, look at these delicious 12)apples and 13)pears!” cried Little Red Riding Hood. “I’m going to buy a kilo of each for my grandmother.” And she did. Then she passed a 14)chemist’s. She thought and thought. “I know there is something that my grandmother needs, but I can’t remember what it is. Ah yes, she needs a 15)

toothbrush and some 16)aspirin.” So she bought those too. She was ready to leave when she noticed the chemist’s big 17)eyes. “Mr. Chemist, you’ve got very big 18)eyes...” “All the better to see you with, my dear,” the chemist replied. “And Mr. Chemist, you’ve got very big 19)ears.” “All the better to hear you with, my dear.” “And Mr. Chemist, you’ve got very big 20)teeth!” “All the better to eat you with!” But this Little Red Riding Hood was more modern than the one in the original story. She knew that the Big Bad Wolf liked dressing up as a chemist and she told two security guards to wait for her outside. They came inside and the Big Bad Wolf ran away.

Jack and I were best friends and I even thought about emigrating to Boston with Jack, but I didn’t. I decided to stay in Dublin. I’ve worked in a bank in the centre of Dublin since 1975. I’ve been married for twenty-eight years and I’ve got twin daughters, Fiona and Alannah, who are now twenty-four years old. For ten years Jack and I kept in touch by writing letters, but eventually we stopped writing. I’ve always wanted to visit Jack, but I haven’t. Although I’m not in touch with Jack anymore, I’ve never stopped thinking about him. I often wonder what has become of my good friend!
