Listening —Speaking Book 3

Unit 1

Warm Up

1. This is Joe: When I was in high school, I was really into sports. In college I found out that my true calling is to be a science fiction writer! After high school, my girlfriend, Melissa, and I went to different colleges. After a while, we just drifted apart.

2. This is Lindsay: My junior year of college I lived in Europe as an exchange student. I ended up going back to New York for graduate school.

3. This is Chris: My dad owns a flower shop. He always wanted me to take over for him when he retired, but flowers really aren’t my thing. Right now I’m working as an apprentice to a famous chef. Someday I hope to have my own television cooking show.

4. This is Allison: As a teenager, I had my own unique style and way of thinking. I was a free spirit, while my boyfriend, Brad, was very conservative. Everyone was really surprised when Brad and I decided to get married. I guess they thought we’d eventually break up.

Listening Task

1.

A: Jake Sutton! Is that you, man? How are you?

B: Hey, Andrew! I didn’t recognize you for a moment. Long time no see!

A: Yeah, wow, I haven’t seen you since high school graduation! What’ve you

been up to?

B: I’ve been back East, at college.

A: College? Where?

B: Boston. B.U.

A: Oh, cool.

B: And this past year, I got to go to Spain as an exchange student.

A: Spain? No kidding? I remember you always hoped for an international

lifestyle.

B: Exactly.

A: So how was it, amigo?

B: Oh, man, it was so great. I got to see a lot of Europe.

A: Yeah? Like where?

B: All over. Italy, France, Greece, and my homestay family was really nice.

They’ve invited me back again if I want to go to graduate school there. A: Sounds like we won’t be seeing you for another few more years then, eh? B: I dunno. Half of me wants to go. Half of me wants to stay here. You know,

when I was there, I missed home a lot more than I thought I would.

A: I can imagine.

2.

A: So, Terry, How have you been?

B: Good, good.

A: How are things going? Did you graduate this year?

B: Me? Nah! I went to State, but after my second year, I realized that what I

really want to do is take over for my mom in the restaurant.

A: Oh, that’s right. Your family owns a little restaurant. Well, I mean, it’s not so

little, but …

B: So I came back home and started apprenticing as a chef.

A: Really? That is so cool! You know, now that I think about it, it makes perfect

sense for you. Even back in high school, you could cook up a storm. So, how is it being in the business?

B: Well, I love to cook, but, man, I have a lot to learn about running a business.

I’m really glad my mom’s around to teach me.

A: Well, I’ll have to come by to try your cooking. What nights do you work? B: Take your pick. I’m there seven nights a week.

3.

A: Ken? Ken Mackney, is that you?

B: Uh, yeah, I’m Ken Mackney.

A: It’s me. Barry Simmons. You know, Mr. Jones’s calculus class, senior year? B: Um, so, how’s it going? What are you up to these days?

A: I’m pretty busy. I’m working as an accountant in the city.

B: Oh, that’s great! It sounds like you really put your math skills to good use. A: Yeah. And I got married last fall. Hey, you might actually know my wife, Tina

Chan, Jason Chan’s little sister?

B: Tina. Is she the one who went to Harvard Medical School?

A: No, that was Lisa Fong. Tina went to art school.

B: Oh! Well, I guess you and Tina are a good match, then. You were always

into art, too, weren’t you?

A: No, not really. That’s my brother Tom you’re thinking of. You don’t

remember very much from high school, do you?

B: No, I guess not! It’s been a long time!

4.

A: Hi, Kate. It’s me, Cindy Lohan. You remember me, don’t you?

B: Cindy, Cindy. I can’t seem to place the name. Oh, my gosh, yes! I do

remember you! But …

A: But what?

B: Well, it’s just that you don’t look like the free-spirited Cindy I remember. You

look so, so normal.

A: Normal? I guess you’re referring to my hair?

B: Yeah. I mean, you’re just a regular brunette now. When I knew you
