Exercise 2 and 3
MAN:Our home here is-fairly large.We have four bedrooms,an office,
a bunch of bathrooms,I think four bathrooms.Um,
in England you'd say it was three reception rooms but it's front room,
a dining room and a breakfast nook.
We do a lot of things around the house on the weekend.
We garden quite a bit,working in our garden,
and we play basketball on the basketball court we've got out the back.
BOY:Um,at the weekends here I go out a lot with my friends on Friday or Saturday night.
Sometimes we go to the movies or just go to other people's houses and watch videos.
MAN:Usually Saturday afternoon we crank up the barbecue
and that's our meal because during the summer it gets pretty hot here
and sometimes you just want to be outside rather than be inside.
In California you really have two seasons from our entertainment point of view-spring,
summer and fall are very much the same type of activities and then
winter is very different on the activities that we do on the weekend.
Summer time activities are usually involved around the children's sports.
My youngest son plays Little League-er,that's baseball.

Exercise 9
MANAGER:The centre's usually open five days a week that's from Monday
to Friday...though we do sometimes have weekend workshops.
A lot of our classes are in the evening,but there are quite a few during the day,too.
INTERVIEWER:And how many people attend classes here?
M:Um,...in any one term we can have between 450 and 500 students coming to classes,
and they're all ages.Of course,most of the students are adults-in fact,
the oldest this term is eighty-two-but we do run playgroups for very young children during the day.
Next year we're going to provide more facilites for teenagers,
because they don't really have a place to go in a small town like this.
I:Which are your most popular classes?
M:Well,they're probably our art classes because that's what we specialise in.
After all,students of all ages really enjoy painting and drawing.
Yoga and foreign languages are also extremely popular.
But we offer a very wide range of courses-everything from furniture making to philosophy.
I:Are your students all local people?
M:Er,a lot of our students aren't actually from the town.
They come from other towns and villages because they want to do a particular subject
or beacuase they would like to be with a particularteacher.
And then they also come for other reasons.
Of course the subject interests them,
but people who are new to the town come to meet people
and some people just want to get out of the house...young mothers
and old people in particular enjoy making new friends.
Young lives
1.Listen and read.
Five people are describing new experiences that they had when they were young.
Match the descriptions with the pictures in your student's book.
1.Rosie:Oh,I hated it.I was five years old,very small and shy.
My mother took me inside and there were a lot of other children.
Did I cry?Well,I certainly cried.
When she left and I was unhappy all day.I felt awful.
2.Alan:My parents were worried about moving,but I wasn't.I was very excited.
Of course,when we moved I lost some of my friends and I changed schools,but it was an adventure.
3.Rachel:I felt wonderful on the first day.
I was only fifteen but I had a job and some money.
I didn't work on schooldays only on Saturdays.And I sometimes worked in the holidays.
Of course,the job was actually quite boring.
Did they pay me much money?No,but I loved it I really did.
4.Becky:They taught me at school and I took the test when I was sixteen.
Then my mother lent me her car twice a week.
Was I frightened?Well,the first time I drove alone I was frightened for about five minutes,but then I felt fine.
5.Marco:I love my parents but I was very happy to be free.
When I left the house with all my suitcases,I thought,"I'm an adult!"
I went to the airport and caught a plane to Britain.
I didn't know then that I would stay here for so long.

Exercise 5
GENE:My programme is a course in automotive repair.Er,...we,er,
teach people from the age of sixteen through adults.
We're located on a high school campus.It's vocational,
which means that we train people in specific skills that they could use in a job.
PRESENTER:There are programmes for adults in the afternoons and evenings,
but all the people in Gene's classes are students at San Rafael High School.
About eighty-five per cent are boys.
They choose to spend five or ten hours a week with him in groups of eighteen to twenty.
It's a vocational course,but it's part of their general education,
so they don't have to pay.
Many of the students want to learn how to repair their own cars.
G:Every student is an individual that comes into my programme.
All of them think that they're going to be able to fix their own car.
They all have that as a goal that they are going to get out of the programme.
P:Some students,though,want to work in garages and service stations when they leave school.
One lesson a week is in a classroom and deals with the theory of car repairs.
On the other days,students work with Gene in the workshop next to the school.
They do projects and learn practical skills.This is one of Gene's students.
JOSH:I like classes like this because it's more of the real world than
it is sitting there reading a text book,
not knowing what you are going to be using it for.
P:In other high schools the local education office runs different vocational courses.
Students can learn about radio broadcasting,electronics,
business technology and restaurant work at the same time as the usual school subjects.
