Sending a Package
a. Did you understand the instructions for sending a package in the computer lesson? Here
are some post office instructions for preparing packages before you send them. Read
the instructions and then write the headings from the next page above the correct
paragraphs.
SIMPLE STEPS FOR PREPARING A PACKAGE

(1)
If the object you are sending could be easily damaged, it should be
packed in a box. Choose a box with enough room for cushioning
material around the contents. If you are reusing an old box, make sure
that you cover all the previous labels and addresses with heavy black
pen or sticky labels. It is also a good idea to include a label inside the
box with the address where your parcel is to be sent.
(2)
Soft material should be placed all around the object to be sent. You can
use old newspaper, packing paper or bubble wrap. Close and shake
the box to see if you have enough cushioning. If you hear the object
moving, you need to add some more cushioning.
(3)
The box should be sealed with 2-inch-wide (5 cm) adhesive tape. You
should use special packing tape, which is stronger than regular tape. Don’t
use string because it can get caught in the machines that the post office
uses for processing the mail.
(4)
Write clearly on the front of the package the complete name and
address of the person to whom you are sending the package. On the
back you should write your own name and address, in case the
package gets lost. You should always try to include the correct postal
code.
(5)
If you know how much your package weighs and you have the correct
number of stamps, it can be dropped into a post office collection box. If
your package contains something valuable, it should be sent registered
mail so that you have a record if your parcel doesn’t arrive. To send a
parcel registered mail, you must take it to the post office and fill out a
special form.

4. If you are sending something important and want to be sure it won’t get lost, it is a
good idea to use this service.
d. Close your book and practice giving your partner instructions on preparing and sending a
package.

eDluckoem: eWto “Local Athletes." Today’s guest is Joe Norse, a secondary school student
who has helped his football team win the city championship for the last three years.
I myself have seen Joe play, and let me tell you, he has really mastered the game of
football. Joe, your school, Jefferson High, has been attended by some of the greatest
football players ever. Hank “The Tank” Perry and Dick Verall both graduated from
Jefferson. How does it feel to be playing on the same field as those great players?
Joe: Well, Duke, it motivates me, for sure. Our school has always had a great history of
producing famous athletes.
Duke: Your coach, Fraser Washington, always says: “A team that is motivated is a team that
wins." Do you agree?
Joe: Yes, I do. It’s a fact that even a team with lots of great players can lose if there is no
motivation to win.
Duke: Joe, I understand you’ve already been invited to visit several colleges that are interested
in you. Have you accepted any offers yet?
Joe: No, not yet, Duke. Right now I’m thinking mostly about passing my exams and
getting my diploma.
Duke: Well, you’ve made an intelligent decision. Good luck, Joe.
Joe: Thanks, Duke.
College For Kids?

By Henry Nelson
Pre-school education is changing. Once, elementary school was the place to learn 1-2-3
and A-B-C. But today, highly motivated parents have begun teaching these basics to their
children before they start school. Kindergarten has now become a mini-college, where
geography,

history, and even mathematics are taught. Small children are even given homework assignments.
Professor David Shift, who is the Director of Early Childhood Education at the University of
Highville, says, “We must simply accept the fact that children today know more than
children did years ago."
Eleanor Idle, of the New School Institute, doesn’t agree. “Children need to be children. They
learn as they play. They don’t need formal education this early. It just isn’t normal. Soon they’ll
be given entrance exams for kindergarten. Very young children shouldn’t spend their time
worrying about grades and diplomas!"
Dr. Idle believes that if there is already so much competition in kindergarten, there is no limit
to how much there will be in high school. “We don’t need to make it any harder on students
than it already is,” she says. “After all, there were still many college graduates when playing was
all children did in kindergarten."
Many people who agree with Idle say that early childhood programs should offer subjects
that children enjoy and do well in naturally, like art, music, science, and gym. After all, learning
should be child’s play.

Study Exchange
by Pat Miller
Craighouse School in Glasgow has been sending children overseas to France on an exchange
program since 1971. The students’ French improves a lot, and when they come back they
usually no longer need a French tutor to help them outside of school. The children who take part
in the exchange program have to be over the age of thirteen.
Mrs. Bankes, whose daughter is participating in this year’s exchange group, says, “I think it’s a
wonderful opportunity for Kim. Although she has only been away for a month, I have already
started to miss her. I’ve been making long-distance calls to Paris about once a week since she
left.”
Anyone who has seen Kim in Paris knows that she hasn’t been missing anyone. Kim is very
happy with the program. She says that her French has really improved, and hearing her French
accent, it was easy to believe her.
“I haven’t been homesick even once,” Kim says. “I have made several new friends and I have a
great roommate, Chantal, who I will keep in touch with when I leave. I don’t even feel like going
home at all.”
The exchange program also helps these young people meet again after the program has
ended, and friends like Chantal and Kim will probably meet at Kim’s home in Scotland next
year. Of course, that’s if Kim hasn’t already decided to stay in France and become a French
citizen!
Parents who are interested in sending their children abroad on this program should contact the
Craighouse School in Pollock, Glasgow.
Enjoying Your Stay

- Well, Akiko, are you enjoying your stay in the U.S.?
- Oh, yes. Very much.
- How long have you been here?
- Only about two weeks, but I’ve already seen a lot.
- Have you started school yet?
- Not yet. School starts tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it.

Host: Welcome, listeners, to today’s “Call-in Line.” I’m your host, Doug, and on today’s
show I’d like to hear about your favorite celebration. Good morning, caller number
one. You’re on the air.
Stella: Hi, Doug! This is Stella. My favorite celebration has always been Independence
Day. Last year we had a fireworks display and our annual bake sale. I baked old-
fashioned apple pie.
Host: I can almost taste that apple pie. Thank you, Stella. Now we go to Gertrude, who’s
been waiting on the line.
Gertrude: Hello. This might sound unusual, but in England, where I was born, there is a Bank
Holiday festival. It has always been a tradition to celebrate it with a fair in a park.
There is usually a parade as well.
Host: That sounds very English, Gertrude. Now, are there any men out there celebrating
anything?
Mike: Hi, Doug. My name is Mike, and my favorite celebration is Thanksgiving. I am a
descendant of one of the first Englishmen who came to America. I was born here,
and I consider it an honor to be an American.
Host: Well, it’s been an honor for us to have you on our program, Mike! And now, our last
caller is...
Penelope: Penelope. My favorite celebration was my 97th birthday. My whole family
gathered for the event.
Host: Penelope, your favorite celebration really is unique. Well, that’s all we have time
for today. Have a spectacular day, listeners, and let’s keep talking to each other.
The First Thanksgiving

Andrew and Kenji were sitting outside Kenji's house with nothing to do. Suddenly Andrew stood
up. "Let's go inside and watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV," he said.
"What's Thanksgiving Day?" asked Kenji.
"You don't know what Thanksgiving Day is!" Andrew asked, surprised. "It's a holiday that
Americans celebrate in honor of everything that this country offered to our ancestors. When the
pilgrims first came to America 400 years ago, they worked hard building houses, planting, and
fishing. They were helped by the American Indians, who taught them how to grow all kinds of
new vegetables, such as corn and yams, or sweet potatoes. By harvest time, there was lots of
food to eat and the future looked full of opportunity. Our ancestors made a feast to show their
appreciation. So now, every year we celebrate Thanksgiving Day."
"What do you do on Thanksgiving?" asked Kenji.
"Well, it's traditional to eat a big meal together. We eat food that symbolizes the new food our
ancestors ate. At our house we usually eat turkey with sweet potatoes and corn bread. And we
have pumpkin pie for dessert." said Andrew.
"I've never had sweet potatoes or pumpkin pie. They sound interesting," Kenji said. "But what's
the parade you want to see?"
"Oh, it's an annual event. Every Thanksgiving, a giant parade is organized by one of the most
famous department stores in New York," Andrew explained. "There are big balloons, called
'floats,' in the shape of famous cartoon characters. At the end of the parade, children can even
see Santa Claus, who's visiting from the North Pole. Santa Claus is invited to remind children
and parents that Christmas is not far away. Well, now that I've told you all about Thanksgiving,
do you want to come to my house for dinner and watch the parade?" asked Andrew.
"Sure," said Kenji. " I'd love to."
Sorry I’m Late

- Oh, I’m sorry I’m late.
- Oh, that’s all right.
- But I promised to be on time today.
- Really. It doesn’t matter. I’ve been having a good time.
- Oh? What have you been doing?
- Just talking with Mark.
Passive Voice: With or Without Agent

- That was a terrible storm last night, wasn’t it?
- Yes. This tree was hit by lightning, but fortunately my house wasn’t damaged.

Music
DJ: Hello, listeners. This is Lex Benedict on WNOW. I hope you’re enjoying yourselves
this evening. We have some guests with us tonight that all you college students
out there should be interested in. They are the members of a hot new rock band
called “The Institute of Music," and they are all graduates of State University. Their
first concert was held last week at the University’s science auditorium, where they
were a great hit with the students. They say that attendance at the concert was
higher than at most lectures. Now, let’s hear the musicians introduce themselves.
Professor: OK. I’ll start... I’m Professor Barry Jameson, and I’m the lead singer of the band.
DJ: It’s very unusual to find a geography professor who is also in a rock band. Can you
tell us when you started being interested in music?
Professor: Well, I was given a guitar by my wife when I was accepted as a professor here at
State University. I’ve been playing ever since.
DJ: OK. Let’s take a break while we listen to your new song, “Examination Blues”... and
here it is...
The Garbage Man

by Philip Dubmor
Have you ever thought about the cigarette packs and food wrappers that people in your city throw
away? Harry Morgan has; he collects them. Have you heard of recycling? Well, Harry doesn’t just
recycle; he creates works of art from the things he collects.
Ever since Harry was a child, he has been interested in making models out of unusual things.
Over the years, he has used a variety of materials. “The good thing about garbage,” Harry’s been
heard to say, “is that there’s always plenty of it." Some of his earlier works were made from bicycle
parts, broken machines, and even old farm equipment. They have been made from every piece
of garbage that Harry could get his hands on. Harry’s latest collection, which is being exhibited
at the Plaza Art Gallery, is even more unusual. He has made sculptures which are built from
wastepaper only. One of these, which is called “Harmony,” is made of empty cigarette packs
and matchboxes. Another work, called “Love in the Morning,” has been made out of breakfast
cereal boxes and pieces of old newspaper.
This is hardly what one would call art. Or is it? Why not come and judge for yourself? Visit the
Plaza Art Gallery and explore the world of Harry’s art. Harry is quickly becoming the “Champion
of Garbage Art," and soon many people may find themselves joining the Harry Morgan fan club.
Picasso Exhibit
- Jenny, have you been to the Picasso exhibit at the Tate yet?
- No, I haven’t, but I’d like to see it.
- Well, how about going with me tomorrow?
- Sorry. I can’t. Tomorrow is my father’s birthday, and we’ve been planning a party for him for
weeks.

Sending A Package
Family
Hello, Deirdre? Aren’t you home yet? This is your mother-in-law, calling from California. I
haven't heard from you in weeks. I’ve been doing some shopping and have sent you a
parcel that contains new clothes for the baby. I’ve sent it special delivery, so you should
receive it by Friday. The parcel is specially wrapped, so let the baby open it by himself.
Let’s speak to one another soon. Give a kiss to the baby for me. Bye.
Simple Steps to Sending a Package

The first step in sending a parcel is to find a box, a large envelope, or some strong paper in
which your parcel may be wrapped. Make sure that it is wrapped properly, or the post office will
not accept it.
Next, decide which kind of delivery is best, according to how urgently the package is needed.
Surface mail, which sends parcels by land and sea, is the cheapest, but also the slowest.
Regular airmail is faster, but may not be good for heavy packages. If you want your parcel to be
delivered by the next weekday, it should be sent express.
If you have a scale and stamps at home, you can simply call the post office or go online to find
out how much postage is needed. Then, if your parcel isn’t too big, all you have to do is place
your parcel in the nearest mailbox and with luck, it will be delivered on time. If, however, you
choose the express service or surface mail, you will have to take your package to the post
office, where it will be weighed and you will be told how much postage needs to be paid.
Airmail to Tokyo
- I’d like to send this package airmail to Tokyo.
- Sure. Let’s see. It weighs 14 pounds. That’s $40.
- Sorry. How much did you say?
- Forty dollars, ma’am.
- How long will it take to get there?
- It’ll be there in about ten days.

Unit 8
Emergency
Emergency
John, where are you? It’s Mary. I’ve been trying to call you all evening. Listen, John.
There’s been an accident. We were crossing that bridge on Route 6 when this big truck
came speeding towards us. It crossed over onto the wrong side of the road, and there was
nowhere for us to go. It was awful! I’ve never been so scared in my life. An ambulance was
called and we were rushed to the emergency room at Parker General Hospital. I’m OK, but
Mike’s being kept in the hospital. Nothing serious; he’s just hurt his leg. We’ve been waiting
to find out whether it’s broken. Please call me as soon as you get in. Bye.
Marge Has a Baby

“Alex, you’ve been waiting in the house with me for three days already. I can take care of
myself. If there’s an emergency, I’ll call you at work." Marge tried to calm her husband, who was
very worried about leaving her alone when she was so close to having their baby. “I’d rather go
somewhere nice today, perhaps for a walk in the park. It hasn’t been that cold outside. Don’t
worry," she said, as she was putting on her coat.
“Isn’t that dangerous, Marge?” asked Alex, still worried. But his wife was already going out the
door. “Why don’t I take you for a nice drive through the park? I know a very pretty route," Alex
said. Marge agreed, and they set out.
However, on the way to the park, Marge felt a pain in her stomach. “You’ve been very quiet
these past few minutes, dear. Is everything all right?”
Marge looked at Alex, her face white. “Quick! We must get to the hospital. The baby is coming.
Forget about asking for directions. I know the way. No! Take the road on the left.You didn’t
signal left!” she shouted at him.
“I hope that we get there in time," Alex said. “We must rush."
“You’ve just gone over the speed limit!” shouted Marge.

“And you’re having a baby!” Alex shouted back.
Suddenly, the car stopped.
Marge turned to Alex. “Why have you stopped?” she said. “Go on!”
“I can’t. We don’t have any more gas. I’ll have to call an ambulance from the cell phone.
You know, I knew a woman who had a baby in an ambulance.” “Really?” laughed Marge, in
between pains.
Soon, an ambulance came speeding towards them. The driver helped Marge into the
ambulance, and they rushed to the hospital. But Marge couldn't wait. The baby was born on
the way.
