TAPESCRIPT Unit 1

Getting started B. Listen to Mike, talking about whales. While listening, complete the missing words with the words you hear. Whales are sea-livings mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot survive on land. Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 meters in length, is the largest animal to have lived on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important differences in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on top of its large, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a layer of fat (blubber). It can be up to 30 meters in thickness and serves heat and body fluids. Moving Forward B Listen to Belle, talking about a spider. While listening, complete the missing words. Then, answer the questions. Uhmm....... do you know Arachnids? I mean, it is a spider. Spiders are not insects. I mean spiders are Arachnids. Arachnids have four bite pairs of legs but they only have two body parts but insects have three pairs of legs and three body parts. The most surprising thing is that spiders have two to four pair of eyes. They can see extremely well. Uhm .... spiders eat small insects such as flies and mosquitoes and you know what ?They sometimes bite people. When a spider bites an insect, it doesnt kill the insect immediately but a special poison passes through its fangs, and this poison paralyzes the body of the unlucky insect. Most spiders make their own homes. They do this with a special substance produced by their bodies. In the corner of some rooms it is possible to find a spiders web where the spider is waiting for its next dinner guest. (Adapted from : Reading Practice, Unknown)

Why do the Sun and the Moon live in the sky ? ( New Mexico Version ) Long time ago, there was no day. It was always dark and always summer. This was because the Kachina, a very powerful people had stolen the Sun and the Moon and locked them away in a box. In the light, Coyote and Eagle, two friends wandered the desert. Coyote and Eagle had always hunted together, but Coyote could not hunt anymore because he could not see at night. Coyote suggested that they go to find the Sun and the Moon and make them light up the world. Eagle was worried. He reminded Coyote that the Sun and the Moon were very strong and it was dangerous to try to trick them. In the end, Eagle agreed to help Coyote. While the Kachina were sleeping, Coyote and Eagle crept into their village , stole the Sun and the Moon, and headed into the hills. Coyote told Eagle that he wanted to open the box containing the Sun and the Moon. Eagle said no. They must wait until after their travels and open it with their eyes closed. Coyote grumbled. He couldnt wait to see what was in the box. Finally he grew so curious that he threw it open. The light of the Sun was so bright that it blinded Coyotes eyes.

177

Cars should be banned from the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents. Firstly, cars, as well as we know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world. Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illness such as bronchitis, lung cancers and triggers of asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them. Secondly, a city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Today cars are the biggest killers on roads. In conclusion cars should be banned from a city for the reasons listed above. Moving Forward G Listen to the following interview.

In this occasion wed talk about an interesting topic. Guess what it is..uhuh.its HOMEWORK! Okay, Melissa do your teachers always give you homework to do at home ? Melissa : Most of the time. Interviewer : Hm.really ? And what do you feel about that? Is it effective or ineffective ? Melissa : Well, I personally think that homework is ineffective in developing students skills. Interviewer : Oh, that surprises me. Tell me about that. Melissa : Well, in the first place, homework is a waste of time, because youre just forced to complete tasks that you already know how to do. Interviewer : Wow, thats an interesting point. And then? Melissa : Hmm.secondly, homework is ineffective because the tasks you do involve more memory than discovery. Most of the tasks you do are just repetition and therefore you dont discover or learn anything Interviewer : Really? Melissa : Moreover, I would say that homework is inefficient because when most kids come home from school theyre usually tired from all the work that they have done during the day and they probably wont produce their best work for the tasks. Interviewer : Okay, Melissa. So, what is your conclusion then? Melissa : My conclusion is that homework is ineffective and is not the best way to develop students skills.

Tell me what do you think of this bad habit? Sarah : I am against this bad habit 100%.I personally believe that throwing litter on the ground is a very bad habit. Everybody knows. However many people do it. Why? Because they dont care about a clean and healthy environment. They are careless and thoughtless. Thats disgusting, isnt it? Program presenter : Phew! And then, what is your suggestion or advice for these bad habits and people? Sarah : Well, maybe we should just let them do whatever they want but when there are disasters like floods or disease, dont help them! Program presenter : Great! Good listeners, are you going to support Sarahs suggestion and opinion? Dont forget to send SMS to Sarah 3 double 5 6. Dont go anywhere ! The next participant is Astari. Hello Astari sorry, youve been holding on very patiently. Do you have any different opinion about this bad habit? Astari : I always feel so bad every time I see people throwing litter on the ground instead of into the litter bin. Dont they understand that this bad habit is a dangerous thing? If we step on a banana skin, for example, we can slip and fall down and get injured. And the worst thing is our environment will get dirty and the air will full of bad odors. Really isnt good. Program Presenter habit? : Fantastic! Okay Astari, whats your suggestion to overcome this bad

Read it carefully, mom. Mother : Morning dear. Good news ? Okay, let me see.You mean Tap water should be free of charge. Its good news, isnt it ? Daughter : Read the issue more attentively mom. Mother : MmThe tap water rate increase, one of the automatic increases will take place every six months for the next five years. The city administration says the money collected from the increase will be used to pay an outstanding debt of 938 billion rupiahs to its foreign water company partner. Oh dear. I can understand an increase in fuel and gas prices, but water is supposed to be subsidized by the government. Daughter : It annoys me too mom. I have been thinking about the impact of the water rate hike. I realize it depends on whos using it. But as far as I know most of the users are low-income families mom, who are already suffering from the recent fuel and gas price hike. Mother : Maybe, it is because Jakartans are mostly business people, ranging from street vendors to tycoons and you know dear, they use large amount of water. Daughter Mother Daughter Mother : Well, youre right but still I think that the government should provide water for free because it is a public resource. If the tap water rate increase is a must, I hope that the increase will improve service. : Oh, I think I cant stand anymore. How can we manage our life with our same amount of salary ? : Okay mom, but dont be so scared. You still own me. : Oh, thank you dear. Okay, lets enjoy our breakfast.

Listen to the cassette. Fill in the blanks. Then, answer the questions. Crime in Cities

Crime is a serious problem in big cities and it is getting worse every year. This is what police departments around the country said in their reports last week. The subways and the streets are more dangerous. You may not even be safe in your own home. Why is the problem so serious now? This is not an easy question to answer. There may not be a single answer. Many problems together seem to make cities so dangerous. One of the problems is money. To fight crime a city needs police officers, cars, and guns. These cost a lot of money. But right now cities do not have much extra money. So, there are not enough police officers, cars and guns for the cities. Another problem is drugs. Crime studies show that many criminals use and sell drugs. After they start taking drugs, they want to have more. However,drugs are very expensive. So, these people may sell drugs to other people to make money or they may steal money to get more drugs. There is an even more important cause of crime. Critics have rich and poor neighborhoods. In the poor neighborhoods, jobs are hard to find. Many young people dont have much hope for a better life. They only know one way to make a better living, that way is to sell drugs or steal. So, some of these young people become criminals. It is not going to be easy to change these crime problems. We must first change many of the laws about drugs. We must change the way cities spend their money. Until then, the crime problem will not go away and we will live our live in fear. Adapted from Reading Power,Beatrice S.M Addison-Wesley Publishing
