III Lesson 9 Listening and speaking (tapescript)


How different students organize their vocabulary learning
  1. I have a little notebook. It's an address book with the letters of the alphabet, and I write the new words in two, or three times a week. I write the English word first, then the translation, and a short sentence as an example. I try to learn ten new words a day.
  2. I have a little notebook. I always have it with me. I try to fill one page a day. Sometimes I put words in groups, like fruit - all kinds of fruit, you know. Or colours, or clothes, or things and the shops where you buy them. I have some grammar pages, where I write irregular verbs, or a page for prepositions, I think prepositions are difficult, you know - on Sunday, in the morning, listen to a concert - but you say phone someone. In my language we say 'phone to someone’.
  3. I stick little bits of paper all over my house! Sometimes I write what the thing is, er... On the mirror, I have mirror, on the door handle, I have door handle. Yeah, I know, it's funny. My friends think 'What's the matter with her?' but I like it. And sometimes I write the words that are new, from the last lesson, and I put the word on the ... on the kitchen door and I see it every two minutes!
  4. I write the new words on a little piece of paper, with the English on the one side and the Turkish on the other side. I write the English word in a sentence so I know how to use it, and what words it's used with. Then in my left pocket, I have the new words, and in the day, when I'm having a break or travelling on the bus, I take out the new words, and if I remember them they go into my right pocket. If I don't remember them, they go into my left pocket again.



V Lesson 14 Jigsaw reading


Group A

Read about Margaret Tyler. She lives in Wembley, north London. Her children have now grown up and left home, and so she lives alone with her incredible collection.

I work for a children’s charity. That’s a full-time job, but I also have guests coming to stay with me at weekends. I have been collecting this royal memorabilia. I first got interested in the Royal family when I saw the wedding of Princess Margaret on TV in 1960. I’ve been collecting for eighteen years. The first things I bought were a dish with the Queen’s head in the center, and a few Coronation mugs to go with it. I collect pictures, paintings, ashtrays, hundreds of mugs, tea-pots, tea-cloths, biscuit tins, posters, books, flags, toast racks, egg cups, candle sticks, the lot! I’ve got over four thousand Royal souvenirs. The house has been extended three times to fit it all in. They’re in all the rooms downstairs, and in the four bedrooms upstairs, and in the attic, too. It takes all my spare time to keep everything clean and dusted.

I was desperately upset when Princess Diana and Prince Charles split up, and I wrote to Princess Diana, saying I hoped they might get together again. I got a lovely letter back from her Lady-in-Waiting, Sarah Campden, and that’s the most important part of my whole collection. I’ve never thought about money. I can’t remember how much it is. There are lots of people who collect this stuff. I go up and down the country. We have conventions where we swap things. And there are specialist magazines and shops, and … and jumble sales.

Princess Diane is my favourite Royal. She’s warm, wonderful, giggly, real. I’d love to meet her.

I hope my dream comes true!

VI Lesson 3 Jigsaw listening / reading

Text B

Leaving home - Jackie Snow talking about her life in London.

I came to London two months ago because I want to be a professional dancer, and the best schools of dance are here in London. I'm doing a course at the National Dance School, which is very hard work, but I'm really enjoying it. The course is expensive, but I work with a theatre group at the weekend. We teach dance to groups of children. I'm living with another girl in a Rat in north London. It's small, but it's comfortable. My boyfriend, Tony, lives in the same street with his parents. They're very kind, and often cook meals for me.

I know my parents are worried about me living in London, but it isn't dangerous at all if you're careful. It's so exciting here, there's so much to do and see. It was difficult in the beginning, especially getting to know the Underground, and I didn't know many people, but it's fine now. I have a lot of good friends. I love my Mum and Dad very much, but I don't want to live at home for the rest of my life. I phone home every Sunday, and when I go to a museum or art gallery, I always send them a postcard. Mum reads them, but I don't know if Dad does.
