[05:01.09]B. At the Airport:
[05:13.08]Mike: (confused) Look, Jenny. I don't understand what's going on.
[05:16.63]You said your sister was arriving at 7.30. It's 8.30 now.
[05:21.33]Jenny: I'm sorry, Mike. I don't understand either. Here's Helena's telegram. Have a look at it.
[05:28.72]Mike: Arriving Heathrow Tuesday 19.30. Can't wait to see you.

[05:53.36]Mike: Never mind, Jenny. Let's have a coffee. We can sit down and think about the best thing to do.
[06:02.08]C. Past Experiences:
[06:05.77]--Have you ever been chased by a dog, Keith?
[06:09.48]--No, I haven't, but I have been chased by a bull.
[06:11.33]--Really?
[06:12.06]--Yes, it was a couple of weekends ago--I was ... er ...
[06:14.15]I was going for a walk out in the country following this footpath and it went through a field,
[06:17.73]and I was so busy looking out for the footpath that I didn't notice that the field was full of young bullocks.
[06:21.41]And the trouble was I was wearing this bright red anorak,
[06:24.05]and suddenly the bulls started bucking and jumping up and down and started chasing me.
[06:27.94]--What did you do?
[06:29.09]--Well, I was pretty scared--I just ran for the nearest fence and jumped over it.
[06:31.18]--Actually I do know somebody who once got bitten by a dog while he was jogging.
[06:35.60]--Was he? How did that happen?
[06:37.51]--Well, he was running past a farm when suddenly this sheepdog came out and started barking at him,
[06:42.47]so he tried to kick it out of the way but then suddenly the dog jumped up and bit him in the leg.
[06:47.09]I think he had to go to the doctor to make sure it wasn't infected.
[06:53.86]D. Monologue 1:
[07:00.44]My grandfather was called Charles, and my grandmother was called Ann.
[07:07.42]They lived in Manchester. My grandmother died last year, aged ninety-eight.
[07:12.64]They had three children, named David, John and Alice.
[07:17.99]They are, of course, my father, my uncle, and aunt. My father is called David, and he is the eldest of the three.
[07:26.80]My mother is called Mary. My father was an engineer. He's retired now.
[07:32.52]My father's brother, my uncle, as I said, is called John. He's married to Heidi.
[07:39.57]They have two children. The eldest is called Simon, and the younger one is called Sally.
[07:45.29]My uncle John is in the army, serving in Germany. Simon is married to a girl called Diana.
[07:54.07]They have two children, Richard and Fiona. My auntie,Alice, married a man called Henry Jones.
[08:02.22]They moved to Australia when I was very young. I don't remember them very well.
[08:07.03]My husband's name is Andy. We have two children, Ida aged two and Tom who is six months old.
[08:14.86]We're working in China now, and may visit Aunt Alice next year.
[08:22.18]E. Monologue 2:
[08:27.32]I was born in Scotland. In Glasgow to be exact.
[08:31.84]In the early 1950s and I suppose like everybody else, I went to school. Primary school, then secondary school.
[08:40.46]The only difference really is that I always went to the same school from when I was 5,
[08:47.02]aged five, right through until I was aged eighteen.
[08:49.55]So there wasn't really much to relate about that part of my life.
[08:54.33]I suppose it was much the same as everybody else's. I lived in my hometown, Paisley, all that time.
[09:03.69]But then aged eighteen, like most British people of my sort of class and so on,
[09:12.05]I left my hometown and moved away to university.
[09:16.77]A lot of British people don't go to their local university--they go to another one which is further away.
[09:25.05]Possibly because they'd rather not stay at home with their parents.
[09:29.60]So I left my hometown of Paisley and I went to St. Andrews on the east coast of Scotland.
[09:36.23]There I studied English and then Modem History, and so for four years I studied those subjects and was very happy.
[09:46.76]Later I left St. Andrews with a degree in Modem History,
[09:51.99]and not really knowing what I wanted to do.
[09:54.49]I wasn't sure whether I'd go on to do some research or whether I'd like to be a teacher.
[10:02.51]So I took a year off to think about it.
[10:06.30]And then one year later I decided I wanted to be a teacher and I went to Teacher Training College.
[10:13.15]And this time yet again it was in another part of the country.
[10:18.45]In Newcastle in the northeast of England.
[10:22.18]so there I trained to be a teacher and I qualified as a teacher of History and English.
[10:28.45]And after that year I began work--real work for the first time in my life.
[10:34.46]I suppose this would be around 1977.
[10:38.98]So then I went to work in a comprehensive school in southeast England outside London in a place called Basildon.
[10:49.85]And there I taught History,
[10:52.28]but I found out I really disliked both the place, Basildon, and the school.
[10:59.46]It was a terrible school. So I thought I don't want to be stuck here the rest of my life.
[11:05.81]I want to try something different. So I did something completely different.
[11:11.24]I went to er ... would you believe, the Sudan.
[11:16.36]And I ended up in Omdurman which is near the capital city of Khartoum in Sudan.
[11:24.17]And I taught English, I taught English to foreigners--to, in fact,
[11:30.08]teachers of English in a Teacher Training College.
[11:33.39]That went on for a couple of years.
[11:36.24]And then I returned to Britain where I did my Master's degree in Applied Linguistics.
[11:45.54]This time, again, in another part of the country.
[11:49.51]In Wales, in North Wales, at a place called Bangor.
[11:54.87]After graduating, and getting my master's, I went and I taught at Lancaster University.
[12:02.57]I taught Algerian students who were going to come to British universities to study.
[12:09.65]Then I went, for quite a long time, to Yugoslavia, to Lubijiana to be exact.
[12:17.67]And I taught ESP, ESP means English for Special Purposes--in particular I taught scientific English in a Chemistry Department connected to UNESCO.
[12:32.80]And so I worked There for five years and then I moved, but still in the same city.
[12:39.54]I moved to another job, in medical English, in a hospital--which was also connected with UNESCO.
[12:46.46]After a total of seven years in Yugoslavia, and  I left and I ended up here where I am now in China, teaching at Yiwai.
