My first trip alone
Audio Track 2- 1-5
At the
age of thirteen
At the age of thirteen,
I took my first trip alone. I went to visit my
grandparents in Los Angeles. I felt
very
nervous
about
traveling
so
far,
but
my
mother
said,
“
Don
’
t
worry.
You
’
ll
be
fine.
”
I
got
on
the
airplane
and talked for a
long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me.
Ma grandparents met me at the airport and
took me to their home. I stayed there
for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It
was my first time in
Los Angeles, and I
saw lots of really interesting places. I the end,
I didn
’
t want to go home!
Activity 4:
Making memories
Audio Track 2- 1-7
A popular
new hobby is scrapbooking
—
making beautiful books to hold special memories.
Scrapbook pages can
include
photos,
drawings,
journal
entries.
It
’
s
not
hard
to
make
a
scrapbook
that
you
will
enjoy
for
many
years.
Here are the steps.
1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook
pages. Some examples:
“
School days,
“
Family
travel,
”
“
Memories of my
grandparents,
”
“
Baby
’
s
first year.
”
2.
Select photos for each page. Two or three really
good photos are better than ten so-so photos.
3. Find other paper keepsakes to use
with your photos. Look for old newspaper
clippings, postcards, tickets,
report
cards, letters
—
anything made
of paper. Use your imagination!
4.
Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes
together on each page and move them around until
you find a layout
that you like.
5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into
place. Then decorate your pages with felt pens,
paint, and stickers.
Use your
imagination!
6. Label your pages. This
is the most important step! Remember to write down
the
“
5
Ws
”
of your photos: Who,
What, Where, When, and Why. This will
make your scrapbook much more interesting and
valuable in the future.
Activity
5:
A book of memories
Audio Track 2- 1-9
Yearbook in the United
States
Most high schools in
the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook
comes out once a year, usually in
the
spring. It is a record of the school
year
—
a
“
book of
memories
”
for the students.
Inside a yearbook is each
student
’
s photo. The seniors
are graduating soon, and their photos appear
first.
Next are the juniors. They are
one year behind the seniors. Next come the
sophomores, or second-year students.
The last photos are the first year
students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only
about students.
The
teachers
have
photos,
too.
The
yearbook
also
has
photos
and
descriptions
of
sports
teams,
academic
subjects,
and
extracurricular
activities.
These
are
activities
students
do
after
school,
such
as
the
chess
club
and
Spanish
club.
There
is
even
a
yearbook
club.
Students
in
this
club
write,
design,
and
take
photos
all
year
for
the
yearbook.
At the end of the year, the book is
printed.
In the yearbook, some
students receive special titles. The seniors vote
and choose the
“
class
clown
”
(a
funny
student), the
“
most likely
to succeed
“
(a student
everyone thinks will be successful), and the
“
best
dressed
”
(a
student with a good fashion sense). There are also
other awards and categories.
Students typically sign each
other
’
s yearbooks. This is
especially important for the seniors, because they
are graduating. Students write notes to
each other, such as,
“
We had
a lot of fun,
”
or
“
I
’
ll
never forget
you.
”
They also
write about all the fun and funny experiences they
shared in school together.

Bangladesh
People greet their friends by shaking
hands softly and then putting their hands over
their heart. People in
Bangladesh
don
’
t use many gestures.
Waving at people and winking are very rude.
Don
’
t touch people on the
head. Don
’
t point
with your foot
—
Bangladeshi
people think feet are very dirty.
Indonesia
Indonesians greet
people with a long handshake, and they bow at the
same time. At a meeting, give every person
your business card, but use your right
hand
—
using your left hand is
very rude.
Audio Track 2-2-9
Thailand
In
Thailand, the traditional greeting is called
wai
—
people put their hands
together and bow. Men and women
don
’
t often touch
each other in public. Thai people
don
’
t use their hands for
gestures, but they love to smile
a lot.
They sometimes laugh when they feel nervous or
embarrassed.
The United Arab Emirates
People in the United Arab Emirates have
some special gestures. When two men meet, they
shake hands. Sometimes
old men touch
noses together. Women kiss their friends on the
cheek. If a man meets a woman, he
doesn
’
t shake
hands with her. He just smiles. When
you give your friend something, give it to him
with your right hand. Don
’
t
use your left hand. And
don
’
t point at people with
your finger. Use your hand to gesture towards
them.
Activity 5: World
greetings
Audio Track 2-2-11
In Brazil men often shake hands when
they meet for the first time. When women meet,
they kiss each other on
the cheek.
Women also kiss male friends to say hello. When
you shake hands, look at the person in the eyes.
This shows interest and friendliness.
In New Zealand, usually, both men and
women shake hands when they meet someone for the
first time. If you see
two
people
pressing
their
noses
together,
they
are
probably
Maori.
The
Maori
are
the
native
people
of
New
Zealand.
This is their
traditional greeting.
In Japan when
people meet for the first time, they usually bow.
In business, people also shake hands. In formal
situation, people often exchange
business cards. When you give a business card,
give it with two hands. This
is polite.
Special note: In Japan, when people smile it can
have different meanings. It usually means that the
person
is
happy,
or
that
the
person
thinks
something
is
funny.
But
it
can
also
mean
that
the
person
is
embarrassed.

Hot, hotter, hottest! Surprising Facts
about Chili Peppers
Audio
Track 2- 3 -8
1. Chili peppers are one
of the oldest food crops in the world. Farmer grew
the first chili peppers more than
9,000
years ago.
2. The first chili peppers
probably grew in Bolivia. From there, the plant
spread through South America and
the
Caribbean. Christopher Columbus brought the first
chili peppers to Europe.
3. The heat in
the chili comes from a chemical called capsaicin.
Capsaicin has no smell or flavor, but it makes
your mouth feel
“
hot.
”
4. Scientists believe that chili
peppers are a very healthy food because they are
rich in vitamins. Research
shows that
chilies do not damage the stomach, and Indian
scientists discovered that eating chilies can help
people lose weight.
5.
Indian food is well-known for using lots of chili
peppers, but Thai food is spicier. The average
person in
Thailand eats five grams of
chili pepper everyday
—
the
most in the world.
6. The Aztec Indians
of Mexico loved chili peppers so much that they
gave them to their king as a gift.
7.
The hottest chili pepper in the world is the
habanero. It is bright orange and grows in the
Caribbean.
8. There are chili sauce
factories on every continent except Antarctica.

Audio Track 2- 3

The healthiest life style in the
world?
In many countries around the
world, people are living longer than before.
People have healthier lifestyles,
and
healthcare is better, too.
Okinawa
is an island off the coast of Japan. The people on
Okinawa, the Okinawans, may have the longest lives
and healthiest lifestyles in the world.
Researchers did a study. They
started their study by looking at city and town
birth records from 1879. They
didn
’
t
expect
to
find
many
centenarians
in
the
records.
They
were
very
surprised
to
find
so
many
old
and
healthy
people living in Okinawa. The United
States, for example, has 10 centenarians per
100,000 people. In Okinawa
there are 34
centenarians per 100,000 people!
What is the Okinawans
’
secret? First, they eat a healthy diet. They eat
many fresh fruits and vegetables.
6
They also eat
fish often and drink a lot of water and green tea.
But researchers think that the Okinawans have
other
healthy
habits
as
well.
They
don
’
t
do
hard
exercise
such
as
weightlifting
or
jogging
—
instead,
they
prefer
relaxing activities like gardening and
walking. Researchers say that older Okinawans also
have a good attitude
about aging. They
sit quietly and relax their minds with deep
breathing exercises. They also enjoy massage.

Mike and Takeshi entered
a
cooking contest and made
fried chicken, grits, and fried
tomatoes. Before the contest
began,
Roberto suggested adding some hot sauce to make
the chicken spicier. Mike thought this was a good
idea,
but Takeshi
wasn
’
t so sure. When Mike
added the hot sauce, the cover came off the bottle
accidentally and the
chicken got
covered with hot sauce! It seemed a disaster for
Takeshi so he tried to remove some of the sauce,
but just then Chef Dupree came in and
he announced the start of the taste test. The
judging began. Chef Dupree
tasted all
the other dishes and told one girl contestant that
her chicken was the oiliest he had ever tasted.
When

chicken,
they

I have to side with your employer. A business

So
they tell you what to wear. If you want to show

your
free time.

Trendspotting
Audio Track 2- 4 -10
Brooke
is 18 years old. She works as a trendspotter. Now
listen to her talking about her new job and answer
the following questions.
Today I started my new part-time job as a
trendspotter. I was nervous and
didn
’
t know what to expect.
Well,
guess what? It was a lot of fun!
I
’
m telling all my friends,
“
You should think about
becoming a trendspotter,
too!
”
On Saturday morning, we had to report to a
recording studio by 10 a.m. The
“
Trends
Coordinator,
”
Mandy,
explained the schedule. Then she gave
us a tour. That was really cool!
Next we sat around a big table in a room. They
gave each person three cards. One card said
“
Yes
—
All the
9
way!
”
Another
said,
“
It
’
s
OK.
”
The third one said,
“
No
way!
”
We listened to about
10 different songs.
After each song we
had to hold up a card. They played some hip hop,
rock, heavy metal; and dance music. The
heavy metal was
“
No
way
”
for me!
Do you know the rock group called
“
Gifted
”
?
They
’
re really popular right
now. Well, they have a new CD
coming
out. We saw six different CD covers. I guess they
are trying to choose one. This time, we
didn
’
t have
cards. Instead, we just talked about
the covers we liked. Many asked us questions,
“
Which ones do you
like?
”
“
Why do you like them
?
”
“
Would you buy a CD with
this cover?
”
We
finished
at
12:30.
We
will
meeting
again
next
week
at
a
boutique
downtown.
We
will
look
at
some
new
fashions.
Each week we go to a different
location. On yes, we also received a free CD for
your work. This
“
job
”
doesn
’
t pay, but we get free
stuff!

Moderator:
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our debate. Mr.
Taylor, please begin.
Mr. Taylor:
We have a big problem. Too many
children are in day care centers. This is not
good.
Moderator:
Ms. Marin,
what do you think?
Ms. Marin:
I
’
m a mother and
I work. In today
’
s society,
most mothers and fathers are busy with work.
Moderator:
So, they
don
’
t have a choice? They
need day care?
Ms. Marin:
Exactly. And it
’
s very
expensive.
Moderator:
What
can we do about this situation?
Mr.
Taylor:
We should encourage mothers and
fathers to stay at home with their children.
Ms. Marin:
I
don
’
t agree. I think we
should offer cheaper day care.
Audio Track 2- 4 -15
Moderator:
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this debate on
whether it is better to rent or to
own
a home. Miss. Ying, please begin.
Miss
Ying:
As
far
as
I
’
m
concerned,
owing
a
home
is
far
better
than
renting
one.
Actually,
I
feel
quite
troubled
by
the idea of living in a rented apartment.
Moderator:
Can you further
explain that point?
Miss
Ying:
Of course. The sense of security
I get from home ownership would not exist in a
rented apartment.
Moderator:
Mr. Chen, what are your thoughts?
Mr.
Chen:
Well, I think
it
’
s better to rent a home
than to own one. I just
can
’
t afford to purchase a
home,
and
I
don
’
t
know
if
that
will
ever
change.
At
the
moment,
the
cost
of
even
a
small
city
center
apartment
is out of most
people
’
s reach.
Miss Ying:
I see your point,
but I still think, it
’
s
better to own a home than to rent one in the long
run.
Although buying a home is
expensive, I think most people can apply for a
mortgage or join with their
families to
invest in a home.
Mr. Chen:
Yes, that
’
s quite true, but
I feel bothered by the idea of owing so much
money. I think it
’
s better
to same for a home rather than get a
mortgage. I believe people should spend only the
money that they
have earned or saved.
Moderator:
Some excellent
points. Thank you both for taking part in the
debate.
