Lesson 1

Unit 3; Lesson 1; Lesson introduction; Screens 2, 3


I think I have a good lifestyle now. It's not just because I live in the country – that's just
one factor. It's really because I don't work so much now. I have plenty of free time.
Before, when I lived in the city, it was terrible. I wasted a lot of time just going from one
place to another, and I didn't have any time to relax. It's different now. I work from
home, and I get everything delivered. The only thing I have to do now is walk my dog!

Unit 3; Lesson 1; Vocabulary presentation 1: Talking about time and money; Screen 2,
position 2
Having a good work-life balance is important to me. I spend time with my family in the
morning before I go to work, and I come home on time. I try not to think about work
when I'm not working.

a while and try to save some money.

Man: Time and money. Two things most people don't have enough of. With the cost of
living going up and long commutes, is it possible to find a good balance? Sue Mendez
hated the hour-long commute to work. Last fall, she took a new job in her neighborhood,
but she also took a salary cut.
Sue: I was spending too much time on a bus. I'm glad I traded my old job for my new
lifestyle. I had to move to a smaller apartment, but it was worth it. I make enough money
to get by, and I really value all my free time.
Man: Dirk Monroe, on the other hand, can’t afford a salary cut. He has a family and
needs the money. He spends his hour-long commute listening to music.
Dirk: I don't mind it. Its time well spent. It's just long enough to help me relax after work
and I'm not too tired to play with the kids when I get home.
Man: What about you? Which do you value more: money, to boost your standard of
living, or time, to improve your quality of life?

Roslyn: After my son was born, I went back to work quickly because we needed the
money. Soon, I was spending long hours at the office again and I was missing too many
important moments in my sons' life. My husband and I decided things had to change. It
was just too stressful to live that way. He's a pilot, so he can't work from home, of
course, but I could. So, now I work part time, from home, and we even moved to the
country and had a second child! My husband wasn't too excited about trading our city
lifestyle for the country at first. He thought it wouldn't be interesting enough, that it would
be too boring out here, but now he loves it. The cost of living is lower, and the quality of
life is higher. The most important thing for me is spending time with the people I love.
Now we can invite friends and family over and really relax and enjoy our time together.
We can't afford a very high standard of living, but we have everything we need. Most
important, we have enough time, and energy, for our kids.

Woman: Hey, do you want a coffee?
Man: Yes, sure, why not. Oh! Let's go here. It's a great coffee shop.
Woman: [unsure] It looks a little expensive to me, and formal.
Man: But the coffee is fantastic. Really, it's the best coffee in town. [excited] And I have
a special discount card.
Woman: You do? How come?
Man: Well, the owner's a friend of my brother's. They went to high school together.
They were like best friends.
Woman: [doubtful] Really? You know the owner?
Man: Yeah, but the coffee really is very, very good. Come on. I'm serious!
Woman: Ok, but only if I get the discount, too.
Man: No problem. I'll buy both our coffees with my card, and you can pay me back.
Woman: Let's go, then. I want to try this amazing coffee.
Man: Great! You won't regret it. I promise!

Woman: What are you reading?
Man: Oh, it's some information about a new kind of window. It says they help keep your
house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Woman: It would be really expensive to replace all the windows in our house.
Man: Yeah, but, if we invest in new windows now, we'll save a lot of money on
electricity and gas. And new windows would increase the value of the house if we
decide to sell it someday.
Woman: True. Hm. Let me read that when you're done.

Riko: In my opinion, the best coffee shop by far is a place not far from my office. I go
there almost every day. There are a lot of trendy coffee shops on the main street, but
this one is on a little side street. The coffee is way better than in all the other coffee
shops, and you can rely on the best quality every time! If I have some extra time in the
morning, I treat myself to one of their delicious muffins and take advantage of the free
Wi-Fi to do some work while I have my breakfast. I really like the atmosphere. It's quiet
and relaxed – there are nowhere near as many people there as in the other places on
the main street. And they don't charge as much as those other places either.

[sounds of traffic]

Man: [sigh] Why do you think there are so many traffic jams these days?
Woman: I don't know. People just love taking their cars when they don't really need to. I
guess people prefer to sit in a traffic jam than to get stuck for hours in a subway tunnel.
It's probably less stressful.
Man: Yeah, mass transit is bad, but driving isn't much better. Roads, highways, bridges,
tunnels, and don't forget railways – all that aging infrastructure needs to be updated,
like, yesterday! No wonder we have problems getting from point A to point B.
Woman: You're right, but even if they start tomorrow, they can't update everything at
one time. I mean, it's not just transportation. The sewer system is terrible, too. Every
time it rains, the streets flood, electrical lines come down, and the power supply is cut
off. People have no power or water for days sometimes.
Man: Well, the electrical grid is a problem in dry weather, too. Every summer, when
people run their air conditioners non-stop, there are power cuts all over the city.
Woman: Water pipes, gas pipes, electrical lines… all the power supplies that make
modern life possible, but we take for granted – they all need updating or replacement.
Man: I wouldn't want to be in charge of deciding what gets fixed first! Everything's
urgent! The only thing that gets better is the communications network. I mean, the 5G
broadband coverage we have now is great!
Woman: I know! Reliable internet service is everything!

Natalie: I understand this idea very well because I'm often slow to make the right
investments, and then when I do, it's too late. For example, I know I should trade my old
car for a new one. The payments for a new car are probably nowhere near as

Cambridge University Press & Assessment © 2022 16


expensive as the repairs to my old one. They cost more than the car is worth! It's the
same thing with my fridge. It doesn't keep my food cold enough. I can't afford a new
fridge, but they charge so much for repairs that I probably should invest in a new
one. These days, repairing things is too expensive. You don't save enough money and
it's too much trouble. It's always better to buy something new. If you're lucky, you can
take advantage of a big sale and treat yourself to something a whole lot nicer than you
have now.

picked it up and checked inside. Then I saw your watch, it's broken.

There's a big crack in the glass. I can't believe I did that. I'm really sorry.

[relieved] Oh, it's not the end of the world. I can replace the glass. That shouldn't be too
expensive. It's really no big deal.

Hi, welcome to "The Consumer", a podcast for shoppers. Today, we're looking at
potential problems with shopping online and how to avoid them.
I'm sure we've all experienced this: You're really excited about something you bought
online, but then when you open the box, the product really isn't what you expected. It's
disappointing, but no surprise when you realize that more than 30 percent of all
products bought online are returned. That's a lot of disappointment!
So, what can we do about it? Well, first of all, be careful which online shopping site you
use. Check out user reviews on consumer forums about user experience. This is easy,
just type the name of the site and "review" in a search engine. If there are a lot of
complaints or negative reviews, consider using a different shopping site.
Secondly, check out photos of the product. The more photos there are, the better. If
you're buying clothes, look for photos of the clothes on a model, and be sure to check
the size guide. If there's no size guide and no photos of the clothes on an actual person,
beware!
Another important thing to do is to read the customer reviews for each product. If there
are no reviews on the site, that could be a warning sign. If all the reviews are super
positive, that might also be a danger sign. It could mean that the site is paying people to
write positive reviews or offering discounts or free products in return for positive
reviews.
And if, after all this, you decide to go ahead and buy the product, check the returns
policy, just in case!
So, those are our top tips for making good choices when shopping online. We hope
they've been useful. If you have any stories of online shopping experiences – good or
bad, we'd love to hear them! Send us an email or leave a comment on our website.
We'll read some of the best stories in our next episode!

Unit Review

It's really important to try and keep a good work-life balance. Remember that you need
to treat yourself to some free time every now and then. Make the most of this free time
to boost your mood and energy levels. Take advantage of small breaks to go outside in
the fresh air. It's really worth it.

We went to a great new Italian restaurant last night. It was nowhere near as expensive
as I thought it would be, and the food was amazing, by far the best pasta I've had in a
long time. And the portions were enormous! One portion was big enough for two people
at least! You really should try it! It's not too far from your house, so you could walk
there!

Martin: I'm really sorry, but you'll never guess what happened.
Althea: [worried] Oh no, don't tell me something happened to my car. Did someone
steal it?
Martin: No, no, the car's outside, but [pause] I just did the dumbest thing.
Althea: [worried about what she might hear] What did you do, Martin?
Martin: I had a small accident.
Althea: [Althea makes a worried noise]
Martin: I was parking the car just now and hit that big tree next to your driveway. It was
dark, and the turn was sharp, and I forgot it was there, and [pause] oh, Althea, I can't tell
you how sorry I am.
Althea: [shocked] That tree is huge! How could you not see it?
Martin: I don't know! I can't believe I didn't see it. I feel horrible about this. I am really
sorry. I'll pay for the damage. You know I will.

Althea: I know, I know. OK, I'll talk to my insurance company and see how much they'll
pay. [sad but reassuring] But don't worry about it. These things happen. It's not the end
of the world.

Sofia: Well, today's been a really good day, all in all. I mean, for a start it was a holiday,
so I didn't have to go to work! It was really warm and sunny in the morning, so a few of
us decided to take a drive out into the countryside and make the most of it. We packed
a picnic and our swimsuits, and we headed to a lake in the middle of a forest that isn't
too far away. There was a lot of traffic at first, but it was worth it. It was way more
beautiful than I ever imagined. The only bad thing was that there was a little rainstorm
around noon. It came up suddenly, so our picnic got a little wet, but it was no big deal.
The water was warm enough to swim in, so we spent the whole afternoon in the lake.
Then, we came back to the city, and now we're going for pizza. It's been really great
day!
