LISTENING UNIT 4+5

UNIT 4:

Agent: Good afternoon. Thanks for coming today. Now, as you know, this is one of the most
beautiful apartments in the city. Are you ready for the tour? Let's go.

So here we are in the living room. Look at that view. Yes, that's the Eiffel Tower. Amazing, isn't
it? Oh, there's no carpet in this room, but the room is warm and light. Now: the dining room. It's
quite small. Only the bathroom is smaller, but this room has got a carpet. Isn't it lovely? It's also
new.

Right, the bathroom: small, yes, but perfect, I think, with a very hot shower, and a new mirror.

Ah, my favorite room now, the biggest one in the apartment: the kitchen. This table is new. It's
not as big as the old one in the dining room, but it's great for breakfast. Okay, the last room on
our tour, the bedroom. It has a new bed, and cupboard. There isn't a window but you don't need
one. Just look at yourself in this nineteenth-century mirror instead!

UNIT 5:

Mrs Ross: Good morning. I am your new chemistry teacher, Mrs. Ross. Perhaps you're sad that
your old chemistry teacher has gone, but there is nothing I can do about that.

Let me tell you something about myself. My name is Claudette Ross. My grandfather was
French, but I am from the beautiful country of Scotland. I am 42 years old. Some people think I
am 54, others say I am 32. They are wrong.

I went to the University of Manchester because I thought it was better than Bristol. I studied
chemistry and physics. I liked biology, but I didn't study it. Most students go to university for
three years, but I went for four.

I started teaching 10 years ago at the Science Academy. I worked there for six years and I was
happy. My students worked very hard.
In my free time, I enjoy reading. I don't usually watch TV, but I sometimes watch a play on
Sunday evenings. Now, let us begin learning. Chemistry is the study of substances and how they
react with each other…..
