[01:14.76]Bruce: What about you, Simon. What do you do after school? [01:19.10]Simon: Well in the weekends I go to football training, I do the odd sport, [01:25.34]I play on my computer, I watch the odd occasional television programme, [01:29.97]I listen to the odd music ... odd piece of music,things like that. [01:34.98]Bruce: How much television do you watch? [01:38.43]Simon: Quite a lot,I'm a kind of tele-addict. [01:42.77]Bruce: Do your parents allow you to stay up when you want? [01:47.10]Simon: No. I have to go to bed very very early when it's on weekdays [01:52.25]and when, on the weekends I'm allowed to go to bed quite late, [01:56.48]about--the latest I'd be allowed to go up is about ten o'clock. [02:01.63]Bruce: And during the week what time do you go to bed? [02:06.35]Simon: About 8. [02:08.99]Bruce: Are your parents strict in any other ways? [02:12.94]Simon: Yes. (In what ways?) They make me eat all the food,and the stuff which I don't like. [02:19.57]I don't like any vegetables, and I have to eat them, and other things, [02:24.43]like I'm not allowed to play football in the back garden, [02:27.98]cos I broke a window once, [02:30.52]and I'm not allowed to leave my toys in the lounge and kitchen, [02:34.46]only in my bedroom, and the playroom. [02:38.30]Bruce: What about you, Louisa- do you have strict parents? [02:42.14]Louisa: Well, I was sort of bom to like brown bread and brown rice. [02:46.09]I mean, Mummy's always getting us all these good things [02:50.03]and she hates sort of white bread and she's quite strict about that. [02:54.37]She's strict about us going to bed -- [02:57.53]we go to bed at 8 o'clock and then we have our light out at haft past 8. [03:02.39]Bruce: OK, Simon, have you ever been on holiday abroad? [03:06.62]Simon: Yes. Austria, [03:09.54]and er other places. We go to Austria every year, urn, [03:13.67]since I was about .. [03:16.00]since I was about two actually they've taken me to Austriabecause my mum's Austrian [03:21.35]and she's got all of her family over in Austria. [03:24.59]Bruce: Louisa, have you ever been abroad? [03:28.64]Louisa: I normally go once a year, but to nowhere special, [03:32.48]normally we go on skiing holidays with friends but we've been to Portugal, [03:37.34]France and Italy and other places. [03:40.58]I like going abroad because you find different places [03:44.71]and you see how other people sort of live. [03:48.26]2.Listen and answer the following questions. [03:54.19]Students are expected to attend all classes in which they are enrolled. [04:00.51]If a student is absent from school orarrives late, [04:04.74]parents are usually required to send a written note to the school [04:08.87]explaining the student's absence or lateness. [04:12.50]In addition to work in class, [04:15.74]students are expected to complete all assigned homework on time. [04:20.70]Students who are late to class without a written excuse, [04:25.14]or who are late in completing assignments are usually disciplined or punished. [04:30.50]The discipline or punishment may vary. [04:34.34]It could consist of additional work, [04:37.79]of having to remain after school when the other students have left, [04:41.91]of being denied permission to participate in certain activities, [04:47.06]or of being scolded by the principal or other school official. [04:52.08]Physical punishment is not permitted in most public schools in the US. [04:57.33]Some private schools, however, may still use it. [05:01.45]Students are expected to work, learn and take tests independently. [05:07.70]Sharing answers or looking at another student's paper is considered dishonesty and eheating, [05:14.85]unless the student is following the directions of the teacher in doing so. [05:19.82]Students are expected to do their own original work. [05:24.55]It is considered dishonest to copy froma book [05:28.78]when writing a paper or assignment unless you give a proper reference. [05:33.79]Dishonesty and cheating are usually punished quite severely. [05:39.44]3.Listen and fill in the blanks. [05:48.68]The Role of Parents [05:52.52]Americans believe that parents should play an active role in the formal education of their children. [05:58.95]Parents are occasionally invited to observe their children in school [06:04.70]and to discuss their children's progress with the teacher. [06:08.93]Some schools schedule regular parent teacher conferences several times a year to do this. [06:16.48]A teacher sometimes calls parents to discuss how their child is doing. [06:22.22]Parents may want to take an interpreter with them. [06:27.08]These are good opportunities for you to meet your child's teachers [06:32.72]and to learn something about the school system in the US. [06:36.67]Schools usually send report cards home [06:42.31]which tell parents how their children are doing in school. [06:45.94]Parents may be asked to sign these. [06:50.07]In addition, parents will be asked to sign a form giving their permission for their children [06:56.00]to go on special trips [06:58.93](field trips) sponsored by the school. [07:02.16]Most schools also have a Parent-Teacher Association [07:07.52](P.T.A) [07:09.66]At regular scheduled meetings, [07:13.21]parents and teachers may discuss school programmes and policies, [07:17.34]ways of improving education at the school, and a variety of other topics. [07:22.49]4.A.Listen an discuss what is the main aim of the school. [07:29.70]Then tick the box [07:32.34]Remembering My Schooldays [07:35.97]I was born of a working-class father and er the aspirations of many selfmade men [07:43.52]is to send their children to private boarding schools, [07:46.96]to give them the best education money can buy, [07:50.52]and one of the best schools in the country is Harrow. [07:54.36]Harrow is one of those institutions when I was there [08:00.21]which at that time er were really geared to train an elite ruling class, [08:06.06]so that everything was geared to that, [08:09.22]and so team spirit and team games were the thing [08:12.96]and games were really more important than the acquisition of knowledge. [08:17.08]If you were good at er games [08:21.21]you were considered to be er one of the heroes of the school [08:24.45]nd if you were good at work [08:27.09]then the chances are you would be derided and laughed at as a swot [08:31.61]or somebody who worked hard and studied hard, [08:35.06]and that was not the attribute of a gentleman. [08:38.22]So there were some games, like tennis, golf, [08:42.55]were frowned on and er you were not encouraged to pursue those games [08:48.20]and Harrow football and so forth because it was required a tea effort, [08:53.55]you were one of a team you were not an individual, [08:58.07]and it seemed to me that the public school system actually ground out the individual. [09:03.43]You fitted into a mould, you learnt to accept certain standards. [09:08.15]You never er showed pain, for example, you didn't er whinge about pain or discomfort [09:14.19]and schools in my day were not comfortable places. [09:18.13]I think tying in with the importance of games is the fact that also that you had to be a "man", [09:25.05]and if people abroad think that the English gentleman is someone who is dean of limb, [09:30.70]I can assure you he's not. [09:33.52]I think most of us washed about once a week; in winter, we hsed to, [09:39.16]it was a mark of a gentleman as well that, [09:42.50]and being tough and hard, [09:45.14]that you didn't wear an overcoat [09:47.86]so this meant that in winter we would pull our clothes off and the whole lot came off, [09:52.88]shirt, several pullovers and er vests and they all came off in one go. |
