CUM FOLOSII MANUALUL?

n primul rnd, ascultai dialogurile de pe casete pentru a v putea concentra asupra textului englez, fr a v folosi de manual. La a doua ascultare, citii din manual textele dialogurilor. De ori simii nevoia, apsai
pe butonul pauz, oprii caseta i citii n linite. Dac dorii s revenii, derulai caseta i reluai partea dorit! n al doilea rnd, dublai cu voce tare dialogul de pe caset, lecie cu lecie. Oprii banda i reluai de cte ori este nevoie, dac dorii s ascultai o secven anume. Urmrii cu atenie preluarea exact a pronuniei i intonaiei. Cnd sntei sigur c putei repeta dialogul, din nou cu voce tare din manual. n al treilea rnd, axai-v pe acele pri din lecii intitulate Cum se exprim. cu i aflai ce nsemneaz. Eventual ascultai din nou dialogurile de pe casete, cuprinznd situaiile respective. Gsii moduri de exprimare i reguli gramaticale simple, pentru a v constitui o baz a limbii engleze. al patrulea rnd, folosii componenta exerciii din fiecare lecie. n majoritatea cazurilor avei de-a face cu o convorbire. Citii indicaiile cu atenie pentru a ti la care parte a exerciiului v referii. Soluiile exerciiilor le gsii pe casete. Lucrai exerciiile pasaj cu pasaj. Dai rspunsul cu voce tare. Ascultai rspunsul de pe caset ori utilizai soluiile oferite de manual, soluia proprie. Dup fiecare soluie, pe caset este o scurt pauz. Dac acea pauz nu v este suficient pentru soluionare, acionai butonul pauz" al Acordai atenie exprimrii i i cutai s le reproducei. Repetai de cte ori simii c este necesar. n al cincilea rnd, ascultai nc o dat dialogurile. Vei remarca faptul c nelegei sensurile fr nici un efort. Repetai operaia de cte ori este nevoie pentru a nelege i a v exprima corect. Nu v sfiii s vorbii cu voce tare. Este cea mai bun formul de nvare. n partea a doua a manualului, gsii un grup de scenete al cror coninut este astfel dozat nct numrul vocabulelor s creasc de la prima spre ultima scenet. Este vorba de vocabule pe care nc nu le-ai nvat. Nu v alarmai, dac nu putei rspunde imediat unei ntrebri. Reascultai sceneta de cte ori este nevoie. Dac socotii necesar, derulai puin caseta napoi i ascultai din nou, pn ce, cu ajutorul vocabulelor deja nvate, putei descurca lucrurile i putei da rspunsul. Nu uitai s vorbii cu voce tarei

"e" n cuvinte ca: and i; bad ru; flag steag; map [maep] hart.

"e" n cuvinte ca: [bed] pat; less [Ies] mai puin; red [red] rou. 3. n cuvinte ca: her ei (dativ, acuzativ); certain sigur, nerve [nov] nerv; service serviciu. 4. " i " n cuvinte ca: English englez(esc); begin [bigin] a ncepe; repeat repeta. NOTA: Semnul / ntlnit mai sus n cuvntul English [ingli/] reproduce sunetul romnesc "". 5. "" n cuvinte ca better mai bun, member membru, never niciodat.
se n cuvinte ca big mare, bill fish pete, milk lapte, till pn. Aici nu am folosit transcrierea fonetic, cuvintele se pronun aproape la fel cum snt scrise. 2. n cuvinte ca: Friday vineri; ice ghia; [naif] cuit; Ine [lain] linie; time timp. 3. " lung" n cuvinte ca: bird [b :d] pasre; dirty [d :ti] murdar; first [f :st] primul; girl [g :l] fat; shirt [f :t] cma.

It would be far to knock them build new ones. Merete: How can you say that? Aren't you proud of your historic city? 197 Andrew; It's pleasant enough I suppose.

Well, in the Prayer Book it says that I have to say that I'll obey you. Yes, that's right. What it? Well, I don't want to say "I'll obey". Why not? I just don't think H's right. Not these days anyway. Do you mind? Of course I mind. Someone's got to be the head of the family and have the last word. But I think we should agree about things. Well I hope we will agree, but if we don't... You mean that if we don't agree, you will be the one to decide. Well someone has to. Well you had better get used to the idea that I'm not going to say "I'll obey", so there.

THE LOCH NESS MONSTER

(Unit 27) Characters Interviewer (BBC) Mrs John Dixon (ex-student at Birmingham University) Mr Smith Is there a monster in Loch Ness in Scotland? Many people think so. Many people certainly hope that there is. The people who hope that there is a monster there cal it "Nessie". Interviewer: Loch Ness is in Scotland. It is a lake 36 km long and the water is very deep, and very dark. It is also very, very cold, but strangely, the water never freezes. Many fish live there, so it's a perfect home for large water creatures. Many people believe that a large creature does indeed live there. In and again in 1932 there were reports. They described a very large animal, which looked like a boat. People saw this animal in the water, swimming very fast. In 1933, Mr and Mrs MacKay saw the animal. Mrs MacKay, can you tell us what you saw? Mrs MacKay: Yes, I was with my husband, and we were in the car. We were driving along the road beside Loch Ness, going from Inverness to Glasgow. Interviewer: What did you see? Mrs MacKay: Suddenly, my husband saw an enormous animal in the Interviewer: What did it look like? Mrs MacKay: It had a long neck, and a head which looked like a snake. Interviewer: Could you see anything else? Mrs MacKay: Yes. It had big humps on its back. Interviewer: Go on. Mrs MacKay: Well, it also had a very long tail, which was splashing on the water. Interviewer: How long would you say the animal was? Mrs MacKay: It's difficult to say. I should think eight, or perphaps ten metres long. Interviewer: How long was it there for? Mrs MacKay: It wasn't there tor very long. We saw it for perhaps two or three minutes, then it went under the water. Interviewer: Mr and Mrs MacKay are not the only people to have seen the Monster. Many thousands of people have seen it. So many people have seen it, that in fact it's now called "Nessie". The interesting thing is that all the descriptions are the same, and this is most unusual. Everybody says it's between seven and ten metres long, and the skin is a very dark colour. It has a long neck and a head like a snake. Unfortunately, there are no good photographs of it. Most people see the Monster when it's in the water, but sometimes it comes on to the land. Mr Smith, I think that you live near Loch Ness? Mr Smith: Yes, that's right. Interviewer: And is it true that you've seen the Loch Ness Monster? Mr Smith; Yes, that's right. It was in 1952. I was with my father in the car and we were coming home at night. Suddenly, we came round a corner, and we 208 saw this... this thing on the Interviewer; Go on. Tell me. What was it like?
We turned the car round as fast as we could, and we drove Interviewer: Scientists are also very interested in In 1973, some students from Birmingham University came to try and find the Monster. Mr Dixon, in 1972 you were a student at the Birmingham University. Mr Dixon: Yes, that's right. That was the year we went to try and find Interviewer: Tell me what you found. Mr Dixon: Well, we had some sonar equipment. Interviewer: Can you tell me quickly what that is? Mr Dixon: You use sonar equipment for marking pictures using sound waves. Interviewer: Tell me what you saw, Mr Dixon. John Dixon: We saw two strange, large animals, about ten metres long our sonar Interviewer: beam. John Dixon: Can you tell me how long you saw them for? Interviewer: Yes, we saw them clearly for about ten minutes. They moved very fast. John Dixon: Anything else? Interviewer: Yes, they dived very deep. John Dixon: Can you tell me what they looked like? Interviewer: Yes. You won't believe this, but to us they looked like Plesiosaurs. But... but that't impossible! Plesiosaurs... John Dixon: Yes, I know what you are going to say. Plesiosaurs became extinct Interviewer: sixty-five million years ago. So, who or what is "Nessie"? Is there one Monster, or is there a family of Monsters, and can "Nessie" be a Does this mean that there are some prehistoric monsters still living amongst us, in the middle of Scotland?
Mr Smith: Interviewer: Mr Smith:
Well, it had a long neck several metres Jong What did you do?
big flippers.
THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN (Unit 29) Characters Narrator Chairman Shipton Voices Narrator: Chairman: The scene is the Royal Geographical Society in London. The time is
October
Order! Ladies and Gentlemen, order please! Ladies and Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in introducing to you Mr Eric Shipton. Mr Shipton is, as you know, the leader of our expedition to the Himalayas. Several weeks ago, as you know, he reported by radio that he had found footprints in the snow. These were of such a strange nature, that we have brought him back from Nepal to report to us here at the Society. Shipton: Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Shipton. Ladies and Gentlemen, you all know about the Abominable Snowman, the Yeti, as he is called by the Sherpas. There have been reports about Voice: the Yeti since the year when the first footprints were found. Many Shipton: people say that it is nothing more than a legend. And so it is! A legend. That is what I thought myself, sir, until three weeks ago. We were high Voice: up on the slopes of Mount Everest in deep snow, when Michael Ward, Another Sherpa Tensing and myself suddenly saw footprints. Chairman: Shipton: It's a hoax. The man is a liar. Voice: Order! Order, sir. Ladies and Gentlemen, order Chairman: As you well know, the Sherpas believe that the Yeti has the body of an Shipton: ape and the face of a human. Lady's voice: That's a likely story! Chairman: Please sir, I must ask you to be quiet. Lady: They believe that it is well over two metres high, and of course, the Shipton: most interesting feature is its enormous feet. Lady: can I ask a question? Shipton: Yes, madam. Mr Shipton, you say that the Yeti is over two metres high. 2nd Lady: No, madam, the Sherpas believe that it is well over two metres high. That is surely bigger than the biggest ape? Shipton: It is indeed very large, madam, if it is true. The Sherpas also say that Voice: its body is covered with hair. They think also that it is very fierce and Shipton: wild, I wouldn't like to meet it on a dark night. Chairman: Mr Chairman, can I ask if the Yeti, as it is called, has ever attacked Shipton: humans? Voice: I'm afraid I cannot answer that question, madam. I simply don't know. What I do know is that the Sherpas are very frightened of the Yeti. 210 (sarcastically) If it exists! As you say, sir, if it exists. May I continue, Mr Chairman? Yes. say, weresaw a line ofShipton, we are all very interested. As I Please, carry on, Mr footprints in the snow. How big we they?
We measured them very carefully, and they were well over twelve inches Voice: Chairman: Shipton: Chairman: Shipton: Chairman: Shipton: Voice: Shipton: Chairman: Shipton: Voice: Shipton: Voice: Shipton; Chairman: Shipton: Must have a policeman! Perhaps I could ask a question here, Mr Shipton? When did you find these footprints? It was in the middle of the morning, Mr Chairman, eleven o'clock as I And was the light good? Was the sun out? Yes, the weather was perfect, Mr Chairman, and the footprints were very clear indeed. Go on, Mr Shipton, fell us some more about these footprints. The footprints went on for a good two kilometres, before we lost them in the rocks. Are you saying that these footprints went for two kilometres? There must have been hundreds of prints. Yes, sir. That is quite correct. There were hundreds of footprints and we could see each of them very clearly. Can you describe them, Mr Shipton? Yes, sir. Each print clearly showed the toes and the heel. Did you take any photographs? Yes, sir. We did, and I now have the pleasure in showing you an enlarged photograph on one of the footprints. A footprint of the Abominable Snowman, the Himalayan Yeti. How far apart were the foot prints? They were one and a half to two metres apart. That means that they were made by a very large animal. You are right, Mr Chairman. The animal must have been very large indeed.
WOMEN AT WORK
Equality in employment (Unit 31) Characters Telephone callers
Chairman Quentin Simpson Mrs Gammon (Retired teacher) Rosemary Francis (Bank executive) Mr Brown (Personnel for Moss Engineering Ltd) Chairman:
Joan Bennet Gillian Morrison Mr Davidson
Good morning. For the next fifteen minutes we shall be bringing you our regular Monday morning phone-in-programme. This week our topic is "Women at work". To discuss this topic with me we have Mrs Winifred Gammon, who is a retired teacher having spent many years teaching in a girl'school in North London. Then we have Mrs Rosemary Francis. She began work as a bank clerk, but she tells me that what begun as a soon turned into a career. She is now a top executive for a leading bank, and specializes in loans to industry. Finally, we have Peter Brown, who is a personnel director for an engineering firm in the Midlands, and has recently appointed two young women to managerial positions in the company. Now for our first caller. Hello, caller, will you tell us your name, please? Joan Bennet: Yes, good morning, Mr Simpson, my name is Joan Bennet, and my question is; Why is it that so few women get as managers? Chairman: Thank you very much for that question. Let me repeat it. Why is it that so few women get jobs as managers? Mr Brown. Mr Brown: I'm to say that the most important reason in my opinion is because many people still think that a woman's most important job is to have children. In the old days, many children died soon after being born, and very few people lived to an old age. Before we had machines, nearly all jobs were done by human beings, and it was necessary for families to have as many children as possible. Many people saw children as the best, in fact, the only insurance for old age. Of course, these conditions have changed, but human nature changes very slowly. Chairman: Thank you very much. Mrs Gammon, what would you like to say about this subject? Mrs Gammon; What was the caller's name again? Chairman: Joan Bennet. Mrs Gammon: I think that one of reasons why women don't get many top jobs, Mrs Bennet, is because men belive that women are too emotional. Even today, when women have more freedom and equality than ever before, there are many who have strong prejudices against them. Women are supposed to be emotional, timid, given to panic. They are supposed to gossip a great deal, and they are thought to be about other people. Above all, one of the reasons, I think, why women don't get many top jobs is because people think that they are unable to keep a secret, and that they have no sense of humour. 212 Chairman: Do you agree with these views, Mrs Gammon? Mrs Gammon: No, I certainly do not. It is quite wrong to attach these characteristics as much as women Ido. only to women. know from my own experience, men gossip just
Thank you very much for those views. I hope that you found them interesting, Mrs Bennet. Joan Bennet: Yes, thank you very much. Chairman: We have another question now. Who is our caller? Gillian: My name is Gillian Morrison, and I should like to hear something about sex discrimination legislation. Can you tell me what this means in Chairman: practice, please. Yes, thank you for that question. It's about sex discrimination legislation. Mrs Francis: Rosemary Francis? Yes, one aspect of the Employment Protection Act concerns maternity. An employer cannot give a woman the sack for becoming pregnant. If she has a job which would be dangerous for a pregnant woman, such as being a radiologist, then her employer must offer her an alternative job, until the baby is born. Women also have the right to get their job back, up to twenty-nine weeks after the baby is They may not get Chairman: exactly the same job, but they do have a right to get back to the same Mr Brown: Gillian: employer. Mr Brown: Thank you. Have you anything to add, Mr Brown? It's Miss Morrison, isn't it? Well, Mrs Morrison, actually. I'm sorry, Mrs Morrison. I would simply like to add that the Equal Pay Act also says that women must have the same pay as men, and that Chairman: women's work must be given the same value as a man's job. It also says that women must have the same holidays as men, and must have Mr Davidson: the same conditions of work, such as shift work, bonuses and luncheon vouchers. I think we have time for one more short question. Who is our caller now? Good Chairman, my name Is Davidson, and I live in Tunbridge Wells. I just want to say that I am very saddened to hear all the comments by the members of your panel. My question is this: Isn't it true that the number of divorces this is going up every year? Don't the of the panel know that there is already a very large number of broken homes, and of children living with only one parent? Aren't the members of the panel aware that juvenile crime is becoming a very serious problem in this country? Now the reason for all this is that far too many women are going out to work. There are more married women Chairman: at work in this country than in any other country in Europe, and this is a development which ought to be stopped. I would like to ask the panel why they don't come out with truth and say that more girls should be prepared to stay at home when they Mrs Francis: get married and look after their children. This would have the added advantage of reducing unemployment, since many women are taking away the jobs that men ought to be doing. Well, that is a difficult question for us to answer, Mr Davidson, In the remaining few minutes of this programme, but I will ask our panel members to reply. Mrs Francis? I think Mr Davidson is talking nonsense, and moreover I think he knows 213 that he is talking nonsense. In this society we are trying to ensure that women are equal to men in every respect. This means that they should be freeWhy have that there which upmeans in have been done only by men. to seekitemployment, and it towomenparticular that they Why Is able to is the jobs are so few now bank managers? should
Chairman:
Chairman: Mr Brown:
Chairman:
it that there are hardly any women members of Parliament? Why is it that there are so few women head teachers in our comprehensive schools? Does Mr Davidson think that it is because women are incapable of doing these jobs? Women in our society must be free to make their own decisions. Some may wish to stay at home to bring up their children. Of course, one possibility is that men, or some men at any rate, may wish to stay at home and look after the children, while their wives go out to work. Other women may wish to work at the same time as bringing up a young family, and then there is the possibility that some women may want to devote themselves to a job, and not have a family at all. But the most important thing is that they should be free to make their own choice. No, Mr Davidson, you will have to think again. I'm afraid that you will have to learn to be more up-to-date. Thank you Rosemary. Is there anything that you would like to say, Mr Brown? This will have to be a short answer, I'm afraid. Well, Rosemary hasn't answered the first part of the caller's question, you know. It seems to me that there is a case to be answered. None of us can be happy about the large number of divorces, and none of us can be content to see the large number of broken homes, or the very high figure for children living with one parent. However, I agree with Rosemary, we cannot try to solve this problem by discriminating against women in employment. Thank you very much. There we have to bring our programme to an Thank you very much for calling. Until next week, at the same time.
