12BOOK TEN LESSON NINE

N:    Welcome to Lesson Nine.
  Listen to this news report. It's
  going to tell you about the results
  of some recent public opinion
  polls in the United States. Let's
  listen.
M:    Good evening. A recent WEFLI
  Stamford Gazette poll shows that
  fifty-three percent of the
  American people think the
  President is doing a good job.
  Forty-seven percent think he's
  doing a bad job. Forty-one
  percent agree with his way of
  dealing with the economy and
  fifty-nine percent disagree with
  it. Only twelve percent say he'll
  improve education, and eighty-
  eight percent say he won't.
N:    Now listen and repeat.
M:    fifty-three percent of the
  American people
  think the President is doing
  a good job
  Fifty-three percent of the
  American people think the
  President is doing a good job.

  Only twelve percent say he'll
  improve education, and eighty-

  eight percent say he won't.
  Only twelve percent say he'll
  improve education, and eighty-
  eight percent say he won't.
N:    Now you're going to hear a
  statement about what percent of
  the public thinks a certain way.
  You figure out the percentage of
  the public that feels the opposite
  way and say it. For example, you
  hear.. .   
M:    Seventy-five percent of the
  people think he's doing a good
  job.   
N:    And you say. . .
F:    Twenty-five percent of the
  people think he's doing a bad
  job.   
N:    Or you hear. . .   
M:    Ninety-five percent of the people
  think he'll help the economy.
N:    And you say. . .
F:    Five percent of the people think
  he'll hurt the economy.
N:    All right? Let's begin.
M:    Seventy-five percent of the
  people think he's doing a good
  job.   
F.-    Twr:n(y-fivc pcrr-cnl" of the
  people think he's doing a bad
  job.   
M:    Ninety-five percent of the people
  think he'll help the economy.

  that the U.S. will have a king in
  the future.   
F:    Ninety-nine percent of the
  people don't think that the U.S.
  will have a king in the future.
N:    Now let's practice using some
  two-word verbs with direct-
  object pronouns. You're going to
  hear a sentence using a noun as
  an object pronoun, and you

  repeat it using a pronoun in
  place of the noun. For example,
  you hear . . .
M:    Please type up this letter.
N:    And you say. . .
F:    Please type it up.
N:    Or you hear. . .
M:    I want you to run the copies off.
N:    And you say. . .
F:    I want you to run them off.
N:    All right? Let's begin.

M:    You have to throw these papers
  away.
F:    You have to throw them away.
M:    Please point out my mistakes to
  me.
F:    Please point them out to me.
M:    Cross the mistake out right away.
F:    Cross it out right away.
M:    You should type this paper over.
F:    You should type it over.
M:    Please put away your pencils,
  pens. .and p.aper..
F:    PJease put them away.
M:    The computer will fill in the
  correct spelling.
F:    The computer will fill it in.
M:    Then it will print out a page.
F:    Then it will print it out.
N:    Now let's practice some more
  homonyms. You will hear two
  sentences. Each one contains a
  homonym, like peace, spelled
  p - e - a - c - e, and piece, spelled
  p - i - e - c - e. After you hear
  each sentence, say the homonym
  and spell it. For example, you
  hear.. .
F:    I love the peace and quiet of the
  country. Peace.
N:    And you say . . .
M:    Peace . . . p - e - a - c - e.
N:    Or you hear. . .
F:    May I have a piece of your cake?
  Piece.
N:    And you say. . .
M:    Piece. . . p - i - e - c - e.
N:    Ready? Let's begin.
F:    I love the peace and quiet of the
  country. Peace.
M:    Peace . . . p - e - a - c - e.
F:    May I have a piece of your cake?
  Piece.
 
      179

M: Piece... p - i - e - c - e.
F: Our team won the game. Won. M: Won... w-o-n.
F: We beat the other team by one
point. One.
M: One... o-n-e.
F: Why don't we meet for lunch?
Meet.
M: Meet... m-e-e-t.
F: Why don't we have meat for
lunch? Meat.
M: Meat... m-e-a-t.
F: Mrs. Velez wrote to her son.
Son.
M: Son... s - 0 - n.
F: The sun is very hot today.
Sun.
M: Sun... s-u-n.
N: Now, to end this lesson, let's see if you remember what words are used in the United States in place of certain British words. For example, you hear a sentence with a British word, like
this. . .
I'll be staying in Stamford for a fortnight.
And you say . . .
I'll be staying in Stamford for
  two weeks.
N: Or you hear. . .
M: I'm living in a flat near the park. N: And you say . . .
F: I'm living in an apartment near
the park.
N: All right, let's begin.
M: I'll be staying in Stamford for a
  fortnight.
F: I'll be staying in Stamford for
two weeks. M: I'm living in a flat near the park. F: I'm living in an apartment near
  the park.
M: There's a small cooker in the
  kitchen.
F: There's a small stove in the
kitchen. M: Right next to it is a large fridge. F: Right next to it is a large
refrigerator. M: There's no lift in my building. F: There's no elevator in my
building.
M: I must ring up Susan before I go. F: I must call up Susan before I go. N: And now that you've finished this lesson, it's time to say goodbye. Or, as they say in Britain, cheerio! And that's the end of Lesson Nine.

Jake, Rita, and Mike have just finished lunch at a restaurant near the station. They're arguing about who is going to leave the tip for the waiter. Listen to the conversation. Take a piece of paper and a pencil and write a list of those who have some money and those who don't have any money. Who's broke? Who isn't broke? You will hear the dialogue twice.
RITA: Come on, Mike. It's your turn
  to leave the tip.
MIKE: Sorry, Rita. I can't leave a tip today. I only have four dollars. It's not enough. How about you, Jake?
OK, OK. I'll leave the tip. But I don't have any money. Can you give me ten dollars, Rita? I'll pay you back tomorrow.
Sorry, Jake. I only have five dollars, and I need it for gas. Maybe Steven has some money he can give you. He's over there. Why don't you ask

Oh, you. . . be quiet. You guys are just jealous.
N: Now listen to the conversation
  again to check your list.
RITA: Come on, Mike. It's your turn
  to leave the tip.
MIKE: Sorry, Rita. I can't leave a tip today. I only have four dollars. It's not enough. How about you, Jake?
OK, OK. I'll leave the tip. But I don't have any money. Can you give me ten dollars, Rita? I'll pay you back tomorrow.

  were working?   
N:    They talk about. . . they eat
  lunch.   
F:    What were they talking about
  while they were eating lunch?
N:    You wonder. . . we interview
  James Morgan.   
M:    What were you wondering while
  we were interviewing James
  Morgan?   
N:    You dream about. . . you sleep.
F:    What were you dreaming about
  while you were sleeping?
N:    Good. Now listen to the
  conversation between Jake and
  James Morgan. Listen for how
  the British sometimes say "Do
  you know what time it is?"
JAMES:    Did you know that Terry's
  grandfather was a barrister in
  London?   
JAKE:    Dh, what's a barrister?
JAMES:    You don't know what a
  barrister is, Jake?
JAKE:    A barrister is a sort of lawyer,
  I think.   
JAMES:    Oh, that's right.
JAKE:    Why don't you make life a
  lot easier and just say
  "lawyer"?   
JAMES:    We do sometimes.
JAKE:    And this business about a
  "single" for a one-way ticket.
  Very tricky. If you asked for a
  "single" at a train
  station . . .   
JAMES:    Railway station, Jake.
JAKE:    OK. At a railway station. If
  you ask for a "single" here,
  they'd think you wanted a
  room in a hotel.
JAMES:    A bit confusing, isn't it? Oh,
  I think I'm late for the
  broadcast. I say, have you got
  the time?   
lAKE:    Huh? I've got plenty of time.
JAMES:    Oh, sorry. I mean, do you
  know what time it is?
JAKE:    Who says we speak the same
  language?   
N:    OK. How do the British
  sometimes say "Do you know
  what time it is?"
M:    Have you got the time?
N:    In general, the British use the
  form Have you got where the
         
         
  Americans use Do you have.
  Listen.    F:
M:    Have you got any change?
N:    And.. .   
F:    Do you have any change?
N:    These two questions mean the
  same thing. Listen and repeat.
M:    Have you got any change?
  Have you got any change?
F:    Do you have any change?
  Do you have any change?
N:    Let's practice these two forms.
  You hear. . .
M:    Have you got any change?
N:    And you say . . .
F:    Do you have any change?
N:    You hear. . .
F:    Do you have a cigarette?
N:    And you say . . .
M:    Have you got a cigarette?
N:    OK? Let's begin.
M:    Have you got any change?
F:    Do you have any change?
F:    Do you have a cigarette?
M:    Have you got a cigarette?
F:    Do you have a light?
M:    Have you got a light?
M:    Have you got any pets?
F:    Do you have any pets?
M:    Have you got a minute?
F:    Do you have a minute?
F:    Do you have a kiss for me?
M:    Have you got a kiss for me?
N:    Now listen to Chris as she
  watches one of James Morgan's
  tapes. Listen for how the British
  say "mailbox."
JAMES:    You'll need to post a small
  parcel in the letter box.
  Have you got any change?
  You'll need it for stamps. . .
CHRIS:    James Morgan! I know how
  to mail a package in a
  mailbox. How did you get on
  my shelf? . . .
JAMES:    Have you got any pets?
  Please don't bring them.
CHRIS:    I haven't got any pets. And
  I'm not going on holiday
  because I haven't got any
  money. I haven't got any
  time either.
N:    Well? How do the British say
  "mailbox"?
M:    Letter box.
N:    OK. Now listen and repeat.
M:    parcel    post a small parcel
  in a letter box
  Post a small parcel in a letter
  box.

N: Now listen carefully to the conversation and write down the important information you'll need to answer the questions.
STEVEN: It says here that child-care expenses can be deducted
. . . things like payments to baby-sitters, daycare centers, even payments to relatives who take care of a child.
ANNE: Well, that's good news. But can little Peter be included as a dependent?
STEVEN: I would think so. I mean,
he is a dependent, isn't he? ANNE: Yeah. He sure is.
  STEVEN: Wait a minute. Listen to
this: "Children Now Need Social Security Numbers. Are you planning to include children as dependents on your tax return this year?"
ANNE: Yeah. That's us.
  STEVEN: "Remember that each child
over five must have a Social Security number."
ANNE: That isn't us. Peter's not
  even six months old.
STEVEN: The main reason for this requirement, it seems, is to prevent two divorced parents from listing the same child as a dependent. ANNE: Can you imagine if we were
  divorced and each of us

--¬

listed Peter as a dependent? What will people think of next!
STEVEN: It says here that thousands of people are expected to ask for Social Security numbers for their children
in the week before April
15, the deadline for sending in tax returns.
ANNE: But what about Peter? Can
  we list him as a dependent?
STEVEN: I don't know. I'd better talk

receptionist invites him to sit down. Listen for how many questions Steven has.
