1、Lesson Thirty-FourSection One:Tapescript.Listen to these people talking about videos.1. I borrow videos every week. I can watch cartoons of adventures at any time and I can watch them over and over again. I never watch childrens programs on television any more.2. My wife likes the video because she
2、doesnt speak any English. But I say, if she doesnt hear English, how can she learn it? She needs to learn English to meet people and make friends.3. Videos are ruining the cinema, of course. Too many people copy films instead of buying or borrowing them. There are too many pirates. Of course, more p
3、eople can see their favourite films now. Videos are obviously cheaper than the cinema, but they dont have the same effect, do they?4. I watch the video every day while I knitmostly old films, ice skating and pop videos. I used to watch television all the timenews, talk shows, soap operasanything tha
4、t was on. Now I can choose what I watch and when I watch it.5. A lot of educational videos are made with government money and video is used by a lot of schools now. Videos can be used at any time of the day and they can be stopped and replayed. When I was learning to be a teacher we were filmed and
5、we could see our mistakes. Of course some teachers just put the video on and let it do the work, but it can be extremely valuable in the classroom.6. I use the video for three things: I record programs when Im not at home and I watch them when I have time. At work we use videos for training new empl
6、oyees; and I hire films at weekends and my friends come to watch. It makes quite a nice social evening.Section Two:Tapescript.A. Discussion:Speaker A: Well, hunk is a verb. And it means to carry something, particularly something thats heavy and difficult to move. So you can say something like When I
7、 saw the men they were hunking the piano down the stairs.Speaker B: Actually, hunk is the cry made by an elephant, especially when its angry, or its trying to contact other elephants. The word sounds like the noise they make hunk, hunk. So you can say, for example, The elephants are hunking a lot to
8、night.Speaker C: No, no the truth is, hunk is a noun. And it means a piece of something, a big thick piece. So if you cut a thin piece of bread, thats not a hunk. When you tear off a thick piece of bread, thats a hunk. Today, for example, I had a big hunk of bread and cheese for my lunch.B. Mark:Ton
9、y: Whew. The disco wasnt bad but Im glad to escape from the noise. Arent you?Richard: Ummmmm.Tony: Richard, Id forgotten. Youve got a letter. Now where did I put it? There it is.

Such as problems.Richard: Well, when I have a real problem I usually discuss it with Mark.Tony: And what is a
11、 real problem?Richard: Money is one. But Mark never minds helping me out.Tony: You say money is one problem. I suppose you mean there are others.Richard: Well, yes. Of course there are. Friends and possessions. He knows who my friends are and I know who his friends are. But when we meet we hardly ev
12、er speak. His friends arent interested in talking to my friends. And my friends think his friends are boring and patronising.Tony: Go on, Richard. You mentioned possessions. What about possessions?Richard: I can never find my favourite cassettes. Mark and his friends keep borrowing them. I suppose M
13、ark has a point when he says he cant find his calculator. I use it whenever I can find it.Tony: So . if you were in real trouble, who would you contact first?Richard: Mark, of course.C. Gardening:Chairman: Now Mr. Grant has a question, I think, on gardening. Mr. Grant?Mr. Grant: Can the team please
14、suggest any suitable gardening task that could be given to young children between eight and twelve years old.Chairman: I usually get them to wash my car. But a gardening task, well, what do you suggest. Peter?Peter: Theres a great tendency among some people I know to treat young children like slave
15、labor. I dont think you should. I think you should give them a job which is going to be useful to you, not one that you would object to doing yourself and, if possible, one which is going to be of some educational benefit to them. A job I would suggest is hand weeding.Chairman: You must have thought
16、 about this, Jeff. What job would you give them?Jeff: Well, Id sooner have them eating ice cream. No, seriously, I like having young people in the garden. One thing that they enjoy doing, because they get very messy, is cleaning tools, you know spades, rakes and things like that. I mean you give a little boy an old rag to clean them with and he is so happy. Another job the
