Conversation 1
A: We saw some fantastic wildlife when we
were in Kenya last month.
B: Oh yeah? What kind of animals did you
see?
A: We saw a group of elephants – a whole
herd of them!
B: That’s amazing!
A: They came up behind the hotel and
started eating fruit from the trees in the
garden.
B: How many of them were there?
A: Oh … about five! It was great! I took
some great pictures – and I put them on
my bedroom wall.
B: I love elephants. They live for a long
time, don’t they?
A: Yes – some can live up to 60 or 70
years!
Conversation 2
A: Did you take a lot of pictures on your
trip to Canada last summer?
B: Yes, I did. But I lost my camera.
A: How did you lose it? Did you drop it
somewhere?
B: No, a grizzly bear took it.
A: Oh no! Really? What happened?
A: We went camping in the mountains and
stayed overnight next to a river.
B: Did the bears come into your tent?
A: Yes, so we ran away behind some trees.
They went into our tents, but they didn’t
stay long. When we got back, our bags
were gone – with all our food and, of
course, my camera. I was so upset!
B: Did they eat all your food? What kind of
food do grizzly bears like to eat?
A: They eat fruit, meat, fish – anything
really – especially during the summer.
Then they sleep a lot during the winter.
Conversation 3
A: A scary thing happened on our vacation
in Florida this winter.
B: Oh, yeah? What happened?
A: We found a huge snake in our kitchen.
B: Oh no!
A: I guess it wanted some lunch. When
I looked into the kitchen, it was just
sitting there behind the refrigerator.
B: What did you do?
A: I was so scared I called the police! And
they called the animal rescue patrol.
B: That was close.
A: Apparently there are thousands of
wild snakes in Florida. Some say there
are about 150,000 snakes there. It’s
because there are no animals that eat
snakes, so the population is increasing
all the time.

Diane: What should we do to improve the
environment? Let’s choose one of
these ideas.
Linda: OK. How about telling everyone to
recycle more plastic and paper?
We have a lot of recycling bins in
school, but no one uses them.
Ian: That’s a nice idea. We could make
signs and posters.
Diane: That’s not very exciting. Let’s raise
money to help the local animal
shelter.
Ian: What could we do? What about
having a dance or a formal party?
Linda: I like the No Plastic Bottle Day.
Everyone who buys a plastic bottle
has to pay a fine.
Diane: I don’t know – that’s pretty serious.
I like the once-a-week Veggie Day.
That means you don’t eat any meat
and it’s healthy to eat vegetables
anyway.
Ian: How does that help the
environment?
Diane: It saves animals, of course!
Linda: OK. Why don’t we write a letter
to the school cafeteria and get
everyone to sign it?
Diane: That’s a great idea!

Interviewer: Good afternoon and welcome.
It’s two o’clock. Today’s show is
called “Waste Not, Want Not.”
On today’s show we’re talking to
Martin Ramsey, who, believe it or
not, is building his new home out
of recycled materials. We’re asking
him a few questions about his
project. Later, we will see if people
think it’s a good idea. Welcome to
the show, Martin!
Martin: Thanks. It’s nice to be here.
Interviewer: So Martin, why are you
building your home out of, well,
trash?
2
WORKBOOK AUDIO SCRIPT
Martin: I think recycling is so important. In
the USA alone, at least 75 percent
of our trash can be recycled, but a
lot of people don’t take recycling
seriously.
Interviewer: That’s true. According to an
article in the newspaper last week,
a lot of people think that recycling
is too complicated, and so they
don’t recycle as much as they
should. Only 30 percent of all the
trash is actually recycled.
Martin: In my opinion, people make a
lot of excuses not to recycle. It’s
wrong to throw things in the trash
when we can use them again.
That’s why I’m building furniture
and other parts of my house out of
recycled bottles and cans.
Interviewer: Wow! That must be a lot of
work!
Martin: It’s not always easy, but I think it’s
fun! I love the challenge.
Interviewer: Fun?
Martin: Yes, friends and neighbors often
come to my home with bags full
of materials so I can continue
building. The local school brought
me 1,000 plastic bottles last
month. I cut them into pieces
and used them to make a strong,
colorful wall in my bathroom.
They’re waterproof too!
Interviewer: One thousand bottles!
Martin: That’s nothing! To make the
kitchen table and chairs, I need
over 5,000 cans!
Interviewer: Incredible! Well, Martin, many
thanks for joining us. Let’s see
what listeners think about your
original idea.

Maria: Yes, hello. I’d like to place a take-
out order, please.
Sammy: Sure, of course. What would you
like?
Maria: Well, let’s see. What’s the special
today?
Sammy: We have the tomato salad and our
chef’s salad.
Maria: Um, I’ll have the tomato salad.
Sammy: OK. Would you like some chicken
on your salad?

Maria: No thanks, I’m a vegetarian.
Sammy: OK, so that’s one tomato salad, no
chicken.
Maria: Exactly.
Sammy: Your order includes potato chips or
bread. What would you like?
Maria: I’m allergic to flour, so I’d rather
have potato chips, please.
Sammy: Perfect. Anything else?
Maria: No, that’s it, thank you.
Sammy: OK, what’s your name and

Man: Hello there. Can I help you?
Nick: Let me see. I’d like an egg salad
sandwich with lettuce and tomato.
Sarah: Can I have the same but with no
lettuce, please?
Man: Of course. Would you like some cold
drinks?
Nick: Do you have any soda?
Man: No, sorry. I have cartons of juice or
bottles of water.
Sarah: I’d rather have iced tea.
Nick: One bottle of water and one glass of
iced tea, please.
Man: OK, that’s $7.70.
Sarah: Thank you. Oh, and can you tell us
where Marigold Avenue is?
Man: Sorry? Marigrove Avenue? Could
you say that again, please?
Sarah: Marigold Avenue – M-A-R-I-G-O-L-D.
Man: Oh, yes. It’s just around the corner.

1
Man: Aura, what do you think this proverb
means?
Aura: Home is where the heart is? Well,
I think … um … well, it means that
home is where your family lives. For
example, I was born in Colombia,
but I moved to the USA when I
was three, and America is really
my home now. All my brothers and
sisters and my mother and father
are all here, and, well, this is where
my home is now – with my family.
2
Man: Luiza, what do you think this
proverb means?
Luiza: I think it means that your home is
basically the people and culture
that you feel comfortable with. You
know, like … now I live in New York
because I’m studying at college
here. But I was born in Brazil, and
all my friends and family still live
there – and I really miss my home.
So when I go back to Brazil … well,
it just feels right – the people, the
place, and the culture. That’s home.
3
Man: What does this proverb mean to
you, Carlos?
Carlos: Um … well, I’m not sure, but I think
that it means … uh … that if you’re
happy in a place, that’s your home.
Home is not a place, really – it’s a
feeling. I’m originally from Puerto
Rico, but I live in Orlando now. I
speak Spanish and English and …
well, and I really like it here, but I
think that in the future I want to
travel, like to Japan, for example. So
as long as I feel happy, it doesn’t
matter where I am!
4
Man: What does this proverb mean to
you, Angela?
Angie: I think this proverb means that
home is when you’re with the
person that you love. It doesn’t
matter where you are – uh, you can
be, uh, in any country or any city,
but as long as you are with that
person, then you feel happy. Like,
my family is from Ireland, but now
I live in the USA because my dad
came here for work and, uh, this is
really my home now.

But then everything changed. Toby
found out he had a heart problem.
He was really tired.

Mark: Yeah?

words on them to help you. You’re

Mark: Of course.
Maria: OK. Well, don’t worry. Like I said,
I want to help. We just need to

that you asked me. The thing is,
if you just read, no one will know
how important what you’re saying
is. And, also, you don’t look at the
audience when you read. You need
to do that – look at them – so that
they understand how important this
is. OK?

Mark: Everyone knows Toby and I are
the best of friends, so I am really
happy to be the person who gets to
present him the award for Special
Achievement at this year’s Student
Awards Ceremony. But before I give
Toby his award, I want to say a few
words about him and his special
achievement.
A year ago, Toby was a happy,
popular student without any real
worries or problems. He was at the
top of his class in every subject
and really good at sports too. I
guess we all wanted to be like him
– maybe some of us were even a
little jealous of him!
But then everything changed. Toby
found out he had a heart problem.
He was really tired. He no longer
played the sports he was so good
at. But he still had courage. He
organized a walk to raise money for
heart research.

Dave: Well, I usually listen to the
basketball scores on the radio at
6:00, but sometimes I miss the
sports report. Like when I have
basketball practice from six to
eight o’clock. Then I download the
sports podcast.
Teacher: Do you listen to other podcasts?
Dave: I’ve listened to a few
documentaries, mostly about
history. I’m really interested in the
history of airplanes.
Teacher: But have you listened to other
podcasts?
Dave: Sure! I’ve listened to history
podcasts, like documentaries
about World War I. I love history!
Teacher: Excellent, Dave! I’m glad that
you and Emma have both used
podcasts! Anyone else? Yes,
Ryan?
Ryan: Uh, well, there’s a movie website
that I like. I download podcasts
from there about science fiction
and adventure movies – movie
reviews, basically. And … uhhh ...
there’s another site I like that has
podcasts of comedy shows with
funny stories and jokes.
Teacher: That sounds great, Ryan! So,
there are podcasts for everyone,
whatever you’re interested in! I
love listening to them.

Eric: Hi, Amy. We’re talking about that talk
show, Speak Out! Did you see it last
night?
Amy: Ugh, yes, I did.
Eric: What did you think of it?
Amy: I thought it was terrible! I totally
disagree with that teacher on the
show. I don’t think students today
are lazy.
Eric: Well, I agree with him! A lot of
students in our class never do their
homework.
Josh: Oh, I think you’re wrong, Eric! I know
what you mean – there are a few
students who don’t care, but what
about everyone else?
Amy: Josh is right. In my opinion there are
good students and bad ones, but we
aren’t all bad!
Josh: Exactly. He can’t say we’re all lazy.
That’s not fair!

A: What did you think of that English
class?
B: It was so boring. I nearly fell asleep.
A: I totally disagree! I thought it was the
best class we’ve had this year!
B: You’re wrong. I didn’t like the book
we read. It isn’t very interesting for
teenagers.
A: I know what you mean. Most teens don’t
like stories about history, but I do!
B: Yes, well ... I don’t!

Interviewer: Good morning! Today we are
talking to Tania Phillips, who, at 13
years old, was the youngest woman

Tennis Championships. Hi, Tania.
Thanks for talking to us.
Tania: Thank you. It’s great to be here.

Interviewer: So this is your second time in
the final – an amazing achievement.
And you’re still only 16! How do
you feel about going into the final
against the world number one,
Maria Sharp?
Tania: Oh, I try not to feel, um … I’m not
worried about it, you know? It’s a
challenge to play the best player
in the world, but, you know, I have
nothing to lose, so I’ll give it my
best.
Interviewer: Your last match was a little
disappointing, wasn’t it?
Tania: Yes, well, you know, I was a little
depressed about it. But, you know, I
was really tired. It was a late match,
and I wasn’t playing my best. But
now I feel better, not so tired. I’m
fairly confident and relaxed about
it, you know.
Interviewer: That’s terrific. Well, we’re all
very excited about seeing you
play tomorrow. I’m sure it’ll be an
amazing match. Good luck!

Interviewer: Sylvano is a glass blower. He
lives on the island of Murano, in
Italy. Hi, Sylvano. When did you
start glass blowing?
Sylvano: I started when I was only 10!
I always watched my dad, and
sometimes I helped him. He
taught me everything.
Interviewer: Well, you’ve made some
beautiful things. Can you explain
to us how it’s done?
Sylvano: Well, the glass starts off as sand
– like the sand you find on the
beach. When it is heated to a
really high temperature, it melts
into liquid glass. The liquid glass
is placed on the end of this – I
think it’s called a blowpipe in
English – and then we can make it
into beautiful shapes.
Interviewer: So you use the blowpipe to
change the shape of the glass –
by blowing air into the pipe?
Sylvano: Yes, that’s right. We have to keep
the glass hot by putting it into the
furnace. That’s the fire that we use
to heat the glass. When it is hot,
it is soft. Then we can create the
beautiful objects.
Interviewer: Yes, they’re amazing. Thank
you, Sylvano. We’ll let you
continue.

Mina: Hi, Eric! Thanks for coming
shopping with me!
Eric: No problem, Mina. What do you
need to buy?
Mina: Well, I need something for my
clothes. I don’t know what they’re
called.
Eric: Do you mean a suitcase?
Mina: No, no, no! You use them for drying
clothes after you’ve washed them.
They’re small and they’re made
from wood or plastic.
Eric: Oh, I know! Some clothespins,
right? Like these?
Mina: Yes! Exactly! Perfect, Eric. I’ll take
the plastic ones.
Eric: How much are the clothespins,
please?
Clerk: They’re $2.50 for a package. Is that
all you need?
Mina: Yes, thank you. That’s all.
