Fritz: Mrs. Jenkins, two months ago your cookbooks came out on the market. Can you
tell us a little about that?
Sarah: Well, I put a lot of money into these cookbooks, but they aren’t very successful.
Fritz: That’s terrible. How did this happen to a successful businesswoman like you?
Sarah: Well, obviously, the first thing a good cookbook must have is delicious recipes!
But that’s not enough. There are lots of good cookbooks out there. A successful
cookbook needs to be different from other cookbooks in some way. I was too busy
telling people what to do instead of just writing a successful cookbook.
Fritz: I see. So, what are your plans for the future?
Sarah: I have a new invention: it’s a house-cleaning robot.
Fritz: That sounds interesting. Do you think this time you will succeed?
Sarah: I think anything that helps people and gives them more free time will be a success.
Fritz: Well, that’s very interesting. Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins.
Sarah: You’re welcome, Fritz.

People Are Crazy About Sports

by Stan Bruer
Why do people love to watch sports? Professor Len Sanders of Georgetown University asks this
question in his study, “People and Sports”. “We can understand why people like to play sports. It’s
good exercise and a lot of fun”,says Professor Sanders. “But why do millions of people pay so much
money to watch other people play?”
Sports is good business. A winning team can make millions of dollars. A good athlete or player can
make a very large salary. For example, at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, the winner can
make more than $2.9 million.
Derrick Rose is a basketball player for the Chicago Bulls. He makes one of the highest salaries in
basketball. He earns about sixteen million dollars every year.

Basic 2 Appendix
Sports fans, the people who watch sports, often pay a lot of money for tickets to a game. The
MetLife Stadium in New Jersey can hold 82,566 people. Fans get very excited when their team
wins.
Professor Sanders now has the answer to his question: “People love the excitement of a good
game”.

Interesting People
Interview
Sandra: Welcome to “Meet the People”. I’m Sandra Waters. My guest today is Larry Patel.
Larry is an inventor. His newest invention is the “whistling wallet”.
Good evening, Larry.
Larry: Good evening, Sandra.
Sandra: Larry, what is a “whistling wallet”?
Larry: Well, it’s a special wallet with a small battery inside. If you sing near it, the wallet
whistles. People often lose their wallets in their homes. Now they can easily find them.
Sandra: Do you need to sing a special song?
Larry: No. Any song is OK.
Sandra: Oh, great! It’s easier to sing than to look all over the house. Where can I buy the
wallet?
Larry: Well, I still have to work on it. I gave wallets to some of my friends. Now two of them
are angry with me. They went to a rock concert, and their wallets made a noise all the
time. The people around them were very angry.
Do It!
I always remember my mother saying, “Wake up. Clean your room. Don’t eat candy. Hurry up. Do
your homework. Be good. Don’t run. Sit down. Stand up. Do this. Do that.” I always thought,
“Hmm, I like that job.”
Five years ago, I started the Clean-House Agency. I put an ad in the newspaper. I answered all the
telephone calls and letters, and started my business. I told all the new workers, “Be quick, and be
clean.” I showed them how to clean homes and offices. First, we all worked together. Now, they
usually work alone.

Basic 2 Appendix
Last night I showed my daughter how to make a cake. “First, take four eggs from the refrigerator
and some sugar from the cupboard. Then, open the box...”
Suddenly I had a wonderful idea: cookbooks! I’m starting a new business! With my cookbooks, I
can tell hundreds of people what to do!

The Family Picnic
It was a Sunday morning and I was very excited. My big sister was coming home for a visit. My
mother decided to have a family reunion. So she invited our relatives to a picnic in the park. I
helped my father get the food ready. I even helped him make his famous potato salad.
Just as my aunts, uncles, and cousins began to arrive, my sister phoned. “My car broke down,” she
told my mother, sadly. “I can’t come to the picnic.”
But then my mother had an idea. We packed up the food and got into our cars. Two hours later, we
knocked on my sister’s door.
“Surprise!” we yelled.
“A family reunion!” my sister shouted, hugging everyone. We found a nice place to sit outside. We
talked, ate, and had lots of fun. We even went swimming in the river.

“Mom, do we have to go home?” I asked, as everyone said goodbye. “I’ll see you again
