Unit 7-Conversation 1
Mark
: Hi!
Kate
: Hi, Janet! Have you
been waiting
long
Janet
: Not at all. What did
you think
of Hero
Kate
: It was brilliant,
thanks for
suggesting it.
Janet
: Well, it was
nominated for an
Oscar, you know.
Kate
: That
figures. It's a beautiful
film.
Mark
: Yes. The
costumes, and scenery
were amazing,
Kate
: I'd love
to know more about the
emperor, he was
cool. Who was he
Janet:
Qin Shi Huang
—
it's said he
was the first emperor in
the history of
China
—
he unified China.
Ka
te: Did he
When
Janet
: Er
... 221 BC.
Mark
: As long ago as that!
Waitress
: Hi
guys! What can I get you
Kate
: Yes, I'll have a
coke, thanks.
Mark
: Er ... Just a coffee.
Waitress
: Sure.
Mark
: Tell us
more ...
Janet
: Um ... Well, before
that, there
were seven big states and
they had been
fighting each other for
many years.
Mark
: Right.
Janet
: It's called the
Warring States
Period. Anyway
—
Qin was king of the
largest state and he defeated the six
other states, one after another. It
took
him ten years to conquer them,
each with
a different strategy.
Mark
: What kind
of man was he
Janet
: Well, he was
brilliant,
obviously. And also wise. He
had this
huge army
—
they were very powerful.
After his army had attacked the first
state, the next state surrendered
without much fight. They were so
terrified.
Kate
: Wow!
Janet
: What else The army
leaders were
very clever, they used a
river to flood
a city.
Mark
: That can't have been
easy.
Janet
:
Yes, anyway, after conquering
the last
state, Qin made himself Emperor
of the
whole of China.
Mark
: Was he the emperor
who created
the Terracotta Warriors
Janet
: That's right. He was
so afraid
of death that he wanted them
to guard
him in the afterlife.
Unit 7-Conversation 2
Becky
: OK.
Kate
: Thank
you.
Mark
:
Thanks.
Kate
:
So go on about Emperor Qin. It's
really
interesting.
Janet
: It is, isn't it
Well, so he
unified China and that was
an incredible
achievement. But as a
result, huge
numbers of soldiers were
killed.
Kate
:
About how many
Janet
: Oh, I don't know,
something like
500,000 men
Kate
: That is huge.
Mark
: So how do
the Chinese see Qin
Janet
: He's seen as the
greatest
emperor in Chinese history.
Mark
: Why
Because he unified China
That's a very
good reason, mind you.
Janet
: Not only that. The
thing is, as
a result of the
unification, he did many
amazing
things. He built roads all
across
China, he standardized writing ...
and
also the money system. Oh, and the
system for measuring and
weighing
things
as well.
Mark
: So he was a great
leader for
China.
Janet
: Yes, he was, but he
was also
very cruel.
Mark
: Yes, but most
emperors were cruel,
weren't they
Kate
: Well I
guess that's true. You're
right.
Mark
: So did he
have enemies
Janet
:Of course,I think all
great
emperors have some enemies. Some
people
hated him so much they tried to
kill him!
Mark
: Was he the
emperor who built the
Great Wall of
China
Janet
: He
built the first Great Wall.
You see,
tribes from the north were
always
trying to invade so he built a
huge
wall across China to stop them.
Hundreds of thousands of men died
building it.
Kate
: It's so sad
—
all those
thousands of people dying.
Mark
: But then ... that's
war, isn't it
Unit 7-Outside

On the 25th of April
each year,
Australia and New Zealand
celebrate
Anzac
Day, when they commemorate all the
civilians. In Malaya, Korea and
Vietnam,
members of the Australian and
New
Zealand Army Corps who died in
action
during the First and Second
World Wars,
and in every armed conflict
since then.
We're here now at the
Australian War
Memorial at the start of
the dawn
service.
They shall
grow not old
As we that are
left grow old
Age shall not
weary them nor the years
condemn
At the
going down of the sun and in the
morning
We will
remember them.
Lest we
forget.
A verse from the
poem.
Ode to
Remembrance
by Laurence
Binyon, is
recited during the
ceremony.
Inside the Hall of
Memory is the
Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier. This is the
grave of a solider
whose identity is not
known and it
represents all those
soldiers who died
in battle but were not
identified.
Twenty-four years after the ravages
of World War I, war came to the
mainland
of Australia where air raids
killed
hundreds of service personnel
and
we answered the call as
we have in
Afghanistan and Iraq.
Through it all the
one unshakable truth
has been a
steadfastness, bom of the
traditions of
the Australian
servicemen. Today,
Australia's special
day, they remember
in East Timor, on
Bougainville, in
Afghanistan and Iraq,
on the island of
Crete, at Gallipoli,
they along with us,
remember.
Anzac
Day is a public holiday in
Australia.
It is one of the most
important
national days of the year and
certainly
the most solemn one.
Commemoration
services are held in all
the major
cities in Australia and huge
crowds
attend to pay their respects to
those
who died. Servicemen and women
from all
the armed services in Australia
march
in procession. They fought in the
Second World War and other conflicts
since then that have happened around
the
world. The men in the trucks are
all
wearing decorations. They're
veterans
from the Second World War, and
perhaps a
few last survivors from the
First World
War. After the Parade the
veterans will
